Neuroretinal Rim Area and Body Mass Index
PURPOSE To examine associations between neuroretinal rim area, pressure related factors and anthropometric parameters in a population-based setting. METHODS The population-based cross-sectional Beijing Eye Study 2006 included 3251 subjects with an age of 45+ years. The participants underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination. Exclusion criteria for our study were high myopia of more than -8 d...
متن کاملInfluence of body mass index on median nerve function, carpal canal pressure, and cross-sectional area of the median nerve.
Obese individuals have slowed conduction in the median nerve across the wrist, but the mechanism for this is not established. This case-control study of 27 obese subjects and 16 thin subjects was designed to test the hypothesis that obese individuals have higher carpal canal pressures and more median nerve swelling than thin individuals. All subjects were asymptomatic for hand symptoms, and had...
متن کاملRetinal nerve fiber layer defect in a patient with healthy neuroretinal rim.
Ophthalmoscopic scrutiny of the nerve fiber layer was first advocated by Hoyt, over 30 years ago. In the following years, the importance of localized defects of the retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) for the diagnosis of glaucoma has been demonstrated in many studies. The evaluation of the NFL, though relatively difficult and subjective, has become routine in the common ophthalmic examination. We ...
متن کاملCumulative Curve to Detect Neuroretinal Rim Area Defects in Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Heads
The aim of the study was to evaluate the capacity of rim area/disc area (RA/DA) cumulative curve analysis to distinguish optic nerve heads (ONHs) with a glaucomatous visual field from those with a normal visual field. One hundred and fifty-four subjects were consecutively recruited for the study. All the ONHs were analyzed by Image-net X Rev.3/51b (Topcon, The Netherlands), and all subjects wer...
متن کاملDominance in hands and cross-sectional area of median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome
Introduction: Currently, neuroresearchers report that the median nerve shows severity-correlated intracarpal enlargement in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as a most common peripheral neuropathic disorder. The purpose of this paper was to investigate ultrasonography morphological findings in patients with idiopathic CTS and comparing some physical properties such as age, gender, BMI wit...
