Purpose To investigate the changes in aqueous inflammatory and angiogenic cytokine levels after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone or bevacizumab for reducing foveal thickness in diabetic macular edema (DME). Design Prospective,…
Purpose Because serum amyloid A can regulate angiogenesis, we searched for an association between serum amyloid A and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as proinflammatory factors, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Design Retrospective,…
Purpose To investigate relationships among vitreous fluid levels of soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (sVEGFR-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) in patients…
Purpose To understand the relationship between choroidal thickness and various disease factors in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Design Cross-sectional, retrospective analysis. Methods Fifty-seven…
Purpose To describe ocular characteristics, surgical interventions, and anatomic and visual outcomes of traumatized eyes with no light perception (NLP) following open-globe injury and to investigate prognostic predictors for NLP…
Purpose To evaluate and compare the diagnostic classification of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurement between time-domain and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in myopic eyes. Design Prospective, observational study….
Purpose To evaluate United States Public Health Service (USPHS) guidelines for discontinuing anticytomegalovirus (CMV) therapy in patients with AIDS who have immune recovery and quiescent retinitis after initiating highly active…
Purpose To determine whether glaucoma subspecialty training, formal risk estimation, or patient age has an impact on physician treatment recommendations in cases of ocular hypertension. Design Experimental study. Methods Members…
Purpose To estimate the long-term cumulative risk of late posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation after cataract extraction in a population-based cohort. Design Retrospective cohort study and nested case-control study….
Purpose To examine the usefulness of 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in removing retained lens fragments and to determine which cases require 20-gauge ultrasonic fragmentation. Design Retrospective comparative case series….
