The new Cirrus HD-OCT software was used to measure the thickness of ganglion cell and inner plexiform layers (GCIPL) in macular region in 56 patients (56 eyes) with early-stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 53 healthy controls (53 eyes). The diagnostic value of the best parameters of GCIPL for POAG detection was insignificantly lower as compared to the best parameters of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and optic nerve head.

Significance: Previous evidence showed that transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) inhibition was protective of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss after chronic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in young animals. However, the role of TRPV4 in mechanosensing IOP changes in the aging eye is not well understood.
Purpose: This study compared the recovery of retinal function and structure after acute IOP elevation in 3- and 12-month-old mouse eyes with and without TRPV4 inhibition.

Introduction: Cisplatin is extensively employed in the treatment of multiple solid malignant tumors. Nevertheless, side effects such as cisplatin-induced ototoxicity (CIO) pose obstacles to tumor therapy.The important natural product chiisanoside from has abundant activity against CIO.

Introduction: Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound commonly found in natural plants and fruits, exhibits potential in preventing optic nerve damage in glaucoma, as indicated by several animal studies. However, there is presently a dearth of relevant evidence available for comprehensive summarization.
Methods: In this study, we conducted an extensive search across 7 electronic databases, encompassing all pertinent animal studies for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Due to sexual dimorphism in growth of penaeid shrimp, all-female cultivation is desirable for the aquaculture industry. 17β-estradiol (E2) has the potential to induce the male-to-female sex reversal of decapod species. However, the mechanisms behind it remain poorly understood.

Background: Patients with craniosynostosis are at high risk of developing elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) causing papilledema and secondary optic atrophy. Diagnosing and monitoring optic neuropathy is challenging because of multiple causes of vision loss including exposure keratopathy, amblyopia, and cognitive delays that limit examination. Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are an optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding reported in association with papilledema and optic neuropathy.
