AI Article Synopsis
- This text discusses a rare condition characterized by unilateral myelination of retinal nerve fibers around the macula, alongside optic disk hypoplasia, myopia, and amblyopia.
- It mentions a study involving two patients who were evaluated using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
- Findings for both patients revealed normal foveal structure, decreased retinal thickness corresponding to the area of myelination, and evidence of optic nerve hypoplasia.
Article Abstract
Unilateral, peripapillary, retinal nerve fiber myelination involving the macula, with optic disk hypoplasia, myopia, and amblyopia, is rare. We performed spectral domain optical coherence tomographic findings in 2 patients with this condition. Both patients had normal foveal morphology, reduced retinal thickness in the same distribution as the myelination, and optic nerve hypoplasia.

Background: Early-stage dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), is challenging to diagnose since it is a transient condition distinct from complete cognitive collapse. Recent clinical research studies have identified that balance impairments can be a significant indicator for predicting dementia in older adults. Accordingly, we aimed to identify key balance biomarkers using wearable inertial sensors for early detection of dementia/MCI.

Background: FLIO a novel in vivo reproducible, non-invasive imaging technology, measures fluorescence lifetime decay in two spectral channels for short-lived retinal chromophores in two domains: Channel 1 emission wavelength 498-560 nm corresponding to NADH and FAD/ATP function and Channel 2, 560-720 nm wavelength corresponding to lipofuscin/lysosomal function. These data reflect the retinal mitochondrial molecular environment. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been recently explored as a cause of decreased synaptic function and cognitive decline in AD.

Background: Research shows that structural retinal changes, measured via spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), are sensitive diagnostic biomarkers in AD. Our recent work aims to validate retinal biomarkers as risk biomarkers in preclinical AD. We compared retinal layer thickness to plasma ptau217 (a valid measure of Aβ pathophysiology in preclinical AD) to determine the predictive value of structural retinal changes in preclinical AD.

Background: To elucidate the biological mechanisms underpinning the association between macular Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness and cognitive function in older adults, this study investigates its correlation with brain volume and cortical thickness.
Method: From a community-dwelling prospective cohort, we included 166 non-demented participants aged over 65 years (mean age 75.2 ± 5.

Background: Dementia is age-related with a significant genetic contribution, yet genome-wide association studies have not fully accounted for heritability. This discrepancy may in part be due to reliance on SNPs and small indels. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in the Japanese population may reveal population-specific susceptibility loci for dementia.
