Researchers have found in a recent study published in Scientific Reports that vitamin D deficiency is strongly associated ...

Ischemic retinopathy refers to a group of ocular disorders characterized by insufficient retinal blood flow, leading to hypoxia and subsequent retinal tissue damage. In the hypoxic environment, ...

Patients with diabetes can have significant areas of macular ischemia. As the retina becomes more ischemic and capillaries become damaged, OCT can aid in determining whether inner retinal layers ...

Retinal ischemia results in tissue hypoxia and is manifested as capillary nonperfusion. Hypoxia is a powerful inducer of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, resulting in elevated ...

Ischemic retinopathy, characterized by the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier and abnormal blood vessel growth, often leads to vision impairment and loss.

Retinal thickness and rates of retinal thinning, detected using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), may serve as potential biomarkers for the progression of sickle cells disease ...

Ischemia and reperfusion are relevant to many disease states ranging from the impact of diabetes on the retina to stroke, cardiovascular disease and kidney dysfunction. 1,2 However, the current ...

He noted that because retinal cells die when they're deprived of blood, they "leave behind visible damage, a kind of a permanent mark, which we call retinal ischemic perivascular lesions, or RIPLs." ...

In a cohort study of 213,033 men, the risk of developing serious retinal detachment, retinal vascular occlusion, or ischemic optic neuropathy increased by 85% for men who regularly take sildenafil ...

“Some conditions injure the RGC soma, including excitotoxicity and retinal ischemia, whereas others injure the RGC axon, including optic nerve transection, compression, intracranial hypertension ...
