Purpose: To report a case of canine atypical chorioretinal coloboma where ophthalmoscopic, fluoroangiographic and optical coherence tomography characteristics are described.
Animal Studied: A 2-year-old Golden Retriever dog in which routine ophthalmoscopic examination allowed diagnosis of a posterior coloboma on the left eye.
Procedures: Retinography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography were performed to characterize the lesion of the left fundus.
Results: Ophthalmoscopy revealed a pigmented circumscribed lesion dorsal to the optic nerve of the left fundus, surrounded by small areas of hyper-reflectivity and retinal vessels with an abnormal pattern. Fluoroangiography revealed a constant hypofluorescence of the defect and a complete altered vascular pattern associated with the coloboma. Optical coherence study demonstrated an important craterlike depression showing an atrophic neurosensory retina, and a lack of retinal pigment epithelium and choroidal tissue.
Conclusions: Fluoroangiographic and optical coherence tomographic studies of an atypical chorioretinal coloboma in a dog are reported for the first time. Both imaging techniques are of great importance to characterize this type of congenital defects.

Metastasis represents a stage in which the therapeutic objective changes from curing disease to prolonging survival, as detection typically occurs at advanced stages. Technologies for the early identification of disease would enable treatment at a lower disease burden and heterogeneity. Herein, we investigate the vascular dynamics within a synthetic metastatic niche as a potential marker of disease progression.

Brain diseases are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Early detection can lead to earlier intervention and better outcomes for patients. In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging have been widely used in stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain cancer due to their advantages of , unlabeled, and high-resolution 3D microvessel imaging at the capillary resolution level.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the complications of diabetes. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of curcumin-piperine on laboratory factors and macular vascular in DR.
Materials And Methods: The present study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-arm clinical trial that was conducted on 60 patients with DR aged 30-65 years.
