Retinal pigment epithelium changes in pediatric patients with glaucoma drainage devices
Purpose Retinal changes secondary to hypotony are usually described as wrinkling or folding of the inner portion of the choroid, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and the outer retinal layers in the macular area due to scleral wall collapse. We describe a new retinal finding in children with suspected hypotony after implantation of Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant (BGI). Observations Four patie...
متن کاملRetinal pigment epithelium changes in Kartagener syndrome
Purpose We present the first case in the literature of a patient with Kartagener syndrome and ocular findings of nonexudative age-related macular degeneration. Observations A 55-year-old woman with Kartagener syndrome and chronic angle closure glaucoma presented for evaluation of the retina. Optos ultra-widefield imaging of the fundus showed glaucomatous cupping, drusen, and retinal pigment e...
متن کاملMorphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells after transplantation of stem cells into subretinal space
Introduction: Degenerative retinal diseases are main cause of irreversible blindness. Stem cells therapy is a promising way in these diseases. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells because of its safety can produce degenerated cells and can play important role in treatment. The aim of this study was to examine morphological changes in injured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor cells...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
متن کاملAge-Related Changes in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE)
BACKGROUND Age-related changes in the retina are often accompanied by visual impairment but their mechanistic details remain poorly understood. METHODOLOGY Proteomic studies were pursued toward a better molecular understanding of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) aging mechanisms. RPE cells were isolated from young adults (3-4 month-old) and old (24-25 month-old) F344BN rats, and separated int...
