PURPOSE To evaluate which optic disc parameters are predictive factors for the development of disc hemorrhages in chronic open-angle glaucoma. METHODS The prospective comparative clinical observational study included 432 eyes of 281 white patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma. Mean follow-up time was 38.8 months (median, 31.5). Eyes in the whole study group were divided into those with an...

Automated detection of retinal hemorrhages in fundus image[2] is crucial step towards early detection or screening is difficult among large population. A novel splat feature classification method is introduced to detect retinal hemorrhages. Classification is been achieved through supervised learning approaches. The performance of sensitivity and specificity is been improved while processing wit...

PURPOSE NH4Cl gavage in the neonatal rat produces a metabolic acidosis-induced retinopathy which serves as a model for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Acetazolamide induces a metabolic acidosis via an alternative biochemical mechanism (bicarbonate loss versus hydrogen ion load). In the present study, the following hypothesis was tested: acetazolamide-induced acidosis is associated with preret...

BACKGROUND Retinal hemorrhages have been described as a component of high altitude retinopathy (HAR) in association with altitude illness. In this prospective high altitude study, we aimed to gain new insights into the pathophysiology of HAR and explored whether HAR could be a valid early indicator of altitude illness. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS 28 mountaineers were randomly assigned to t...

Retinal or preretinal neovascularization (NV) is the result of many ischemic conditions of the retina and is an important factor leading to severe visual loss in diabetic retinopathy. Panretinal photocoagulation does not always control its growth or bleeding sequelae. A potential new treatment modality, photodynamic therapy (PDT), was evaluated for limiting the progression of experimental NV in...

Microscopic features of primary and secondary hemorrhages in the stem portion of the brain in craniocerebral injuries are described. Criteria of differential diagnosis between primary and secondary hemorrhages in the stem in subjects dead during 24 h after isolated and combined craniocerebral injuries are defined. The forensic medical significance of differential diagnosis of hemorrhages in the...

CASE REPORT We present a patient with bilateral Terson's syndrome after brainstem surgical decompression as treatment for her Arnold-Chiari I malformation. We have studied and compared the progression of preretinal hemorrhage after Nd:YAG laser treatment of the right eye and observation of the left, and also the formation of an epiretinal membrane in the left eye. DISCUSSION Treatment of Ters...
