Intravenous streptokinase in the treatment of retinal vascular occlusion

Intravenous Streptokinase in the Treatment of Retinal Vascular Occlusion.

Retinal vein occlusion following intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is concentrated human immunoglobulins made from pooled donor plasma. Commercial preparations were used for clinical administration since early 1980s [1]. It modulates the immune response in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Although high-dose IVIg generally is considered safe, it is not without side effects and may promote life-threatening thr...

Thrombophilia and retinal vascular occlusion

PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to assess associations of thrombophilia with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and amaurosis fugax (AF); to evaluate outcomes of normalizing high homocysteine; and to study CRVO, CRAO, and AF developing in estrogens/estrogen agonists in women subsequently shown to have thrombophilia. METHODS Measures of thr...

Medical Investigation of Retinal Vascular Occlusion.

I believe that such an approach will call for considerable changes in medical education before we are far into the twentyfirst century. It is time already that the old-fashioned academic ideas of the sort of education needed in common for all doctors should be scrapped. I have given a list earlier of the different levels of human biology, and I believe that an honest education in depth in any o...

Investigating the frequency characteristics of the electroretinogram signal in patients with central retinal vein occlusion

Background: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy. In this study, we tried to examine the potentials of time-frequency methods for differentiating the eyes with CRVO. Materials and methods: Twenty patients with unilateral CRVO were included in this study. Their contralateral normal eyes were considered as the control...
