Immune reactivity to different retinal antigens in patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa.
The immune status of patients suffering from different types of retinitis pigmentosa has been investigated. The lymphocytes of these patients could be stimulated by incubation with human soluble retinal antigens as well as with bovine rod outer segments. The results suggest the involvement of the cellular immune system in retinitis pigmentosa. The leukocyte migration inhibition test also point...
متن کاملO13: Comparing the Effect of Prazosin and Hydroxyzine on Sleep Quality in Patients Suffering From PTSD
In light of the high prevalence of sleep disorders in patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), this study sought to comparing the effect of prazosin and hydroxyzine on sleep quality in this patient group. A total 100 patients suffering from PTSD were assessed (mean age: M = 35.51, SD = 6.41 28% females). Next, they were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: ...
متن کاملStudy of Patterns of Inheritance in Affected Patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa in Iranian Populations
Background and Aims: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of inherited retinal degeneration, photoreceptors loss of which in the retina causes visual loss. The purpose of the present study was to determine patterns of inheritance in RP patients in Yazd to help the health professional for designing suitable laboratory testing for the high risk families. Materials and Methods: Thirt...
متن کاملSpatial judgments in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
Previous investigations into cortical plasticity in the presence of ocular disease have focused on central retinal damage. Perceptually, patients often report distortions of visual space which can be partially explained by perceptual filling-in. The mechanisms involved could also apply to peripheral field loss. Spatial interval discrimination was tested in 28 retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients ...
متن کاملSymmetry discrimination in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
To investigate the relative sensory and perceptual contributions to central visual function of patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), we tested symmetry discrimination using block patterns with varying types of symmetric organization. Eleven control subjects with normal vision and 11 patients with RP with 20/30 visual acuity or better, viewed patterns presented for 255 msec. The patterns diff...
