BACKGROUND The ICG filling is supposed to be faster than Fluorescein filling. Interestingly the filling characteristics of these dyes were never correlated directly using precise quantitative methods. Since ICG and Fluorescein are injected as a mixture, the simultaneous 2-channel angiography provides a suitable method to correlate the filling characteristics of the dyes. MATERIAL AND METHODS ...

The ground and excited state geometries, the excitation and emission energies for a series of fluorescein derivatives in aqueous solutions have been investigated using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with B3LYP and a long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP functional. The RI-CC2 method was employed to confirm the CAM-B3LYP results. As far as we know, the excited state geometries for a ...

We report the proper management of a severe adverse reaction of anaphylactic shock during intravenous fluorescein angiography at an outpatient clinic. A 72-year-old male developed the severe, life-threatening complication after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein dye for retinal angiography. Three minutes after receiving an intravenous injection of fluorescein, the patient developed syn...

We compared indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescein angiography for evaluation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Cast preparations of CNV induced in monkey eyes by laser photocoagulation were correlated with ICG and fluorescein angiographies of the same CNV formations. Fluorescein angiography was more effective, in general, than ICG angiography in detecting CNV; however, CNVs with subretin...

We have identified an individual whose thyroxine (T4) concentration was undetectable with Abbott's fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) but within the reference range by radioimmunoassay or EMIT (Syva). The patient's thyrotropin, triiodothyronine, and T-uptake values were within the normal range. The T4 concentration measured by FPIA increased to normal when the immunoglobulin fraction ...

Fluorescein has been used for rapid and sensitive detection of fish skin and corneal ulceration. Effective use of the fluorescein test requires knowledge of conditions that might cause misleading interpretations or otherwise interfere with test reliability. Examination of fish health and the clinical workup often require tricaine as one of the most commonly used anesthetics. However, tricaine m...

FLUORESCEIN photography of the fundus requires an intravenous injection of the dye into the antecubital vein. This has to be done whilst the patient is seated in the position for taking photographs, with the chin on the chinrest and the forehead touching the crossband. An arm-rest to support the elbow in an extended position has been used by me at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital for the...

the visual acuity dropped from 20/30 to 20/60 OS. Gonioscopy revealed a cyclodialysis cleft in the area of the surgical iridectomy. The retinal examination findings were noted to be normal by the glaucoma and retinal subspecialists. Stratus OCT showed retinal folding consistent with hypotony maculopathy (Figure 3A). The patient was given 1% atropine, and the IOP increased to 52 mm Hg with presu...

Purpose To determine the presence of monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) in human and rabbit corneal epithelium and its role in transcellular fluorescein transportation in the cornea. Methods The presence of MCTs in human and rabbit corneal epithelium was determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Intracellular fluorescein uptake experiment was performed using cultured human corneal epithel...
