Their results support the therapeutic use of NAM in glaucoma; yet, they used NAM doses that are probably not feasible in humans


First, NAM treatment may behave differently in DBA/2J mice and it should be tested in other glaucoma models


Although it can be difficult to compare mouse and human dosing, the equivalent NAM dose in humans would far exceed the lethal concentration


MD and PSD were rather insensitive for detection of progression events


There is a possibility that ODH is associated not only with nighttime BP reduction but also with daytime BP elevation


As with cadaver eyes, flow was found to be segmental with regions of flow and no-flow


The authors also reported pulsatile flow, and dynamic shifts where flow would stop in one region and begin in another

The findings complicate an already-muddy landscape regarding the impact of physical activity on glaucoma.


By examining rates of RNFL change throughout the OCT scan it may be possible to improve accuracy of progression detection


Lens extraction was estimated 67-89% on being cost-effective at three years


A landmark paper reporting the first successful imaging of retinal ganglion cells in the living human eye.


Numerous hurdles remain to be addressed before this remarkable achievement enjoys wide spread implementation.
