News Flashes IGR 12-2

Glucocorticoid treatment effects tight and gap junctions within the trabecular meshwork


It is still a hypothetical link that an increase in intracranial pressure predisposes a person to Alzheimer's disease, as an increase in IOP constitutes a risk factor for developing POAG


Is myocilin associated with open-angle glaucoma?


Is a multi-day diurnal IOP curve more representative of true IOP behavior than IOP measured on a single day?


Can general ophthalmologists diagnose glaucoma with certainty by looking at photographs alone, without access to any other data?


The significance of a smaller Schlemm's canal is unclear since it would still be far too large to generate any significant outflow resistance by itself


Signal strength of the Stratus OCT is the most important determinant of high quality macular and RNFL scans


Could parapapillary zone beta be a causative risk factor, and not be a result of glaucomatous pathogenic processes in the region of the optic disc?


Is the loss of visual function early in the course of disease more reversible than previously believed?


Persistent ocular hypertension following intravitreal bevacizumab and ranibizumab injections


TGF-beta2 increases IOP by reducing outflow


Our assumption that public awareness of glaucoma is low may not be correct


People of African descent had significantly worse performance than individuals of European descent on standard automated perimetry (SAP), short wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and Humphrey Matrix frequency doubling technology perimetry (Matrix FDT)


Amongst other the structural stiffness of the sclera and lamina cribrosa dominate the optic nerve head's biomechanical response to IOP


Despite a significantly higher nocturnal IOP in a flat supine position than the sitting IOP during daytime, other factors than just IOP's role as a risk factor need to be considered for glaucoma progression


An exposed tube provides a potential route by which bacteria can enter the eye and produce endophthalmitis


There is a rationale to study the effect of Donepezil, a cholinesterase inhibitor, on glaucoma progression
