News Flashes IGR 8-4

Optic disc hemorrhages were found in a total of 123 or 7.6 % of studied (OHTS) patients


High-dose cortisol dramatically increased retinal ganglion cell survival after optic nerve transection, at the same time decreasing the number of microglial cells


5.3% of patients had IOP above 20 mmHg at least once in one eye; many IOPs above 20 mmHg were measured outside office hours


The OHTS-treated patients had significantly more cataract extraction and cataract/filtering surgery than untreated controls


The risk of progression may be higher in a group of random glaucoma patients than in those selected for long-term follow-up studies


A ten micron thinner baseline RNFL thickness was independently predictive of progression


1) There is a wide variety among the risk estimation of ophthalmologists. 2) There is a substantial difference between the ophthalmologists estimates and the calculated risk


There is a relationship between progressive field loss and increased intraocular pressure(IOP) in the supine position in normal tension glaucoma (NTG)


Risk indicators for ODH were much the same as risk indicators for development of glaucoma damage in OHTS


The diagnostic accuracy of the Glaucoma Probability Score is similar to the Moorfield Regression Analysis and there is good agreement between methods


The Glaucoma Probability Score has the possibility of a high false positive rate in eyes with large discs


A collagen matrix implant offered a physiological environment conducive to normal healing, prevented the collapse of the subconjunctival space during the period of normal wound contraction and provided a certain amount of weight initially on the scleral flap to prevent a shallow anterior chamber


Narrow angles (primary angle closure suspect; PACS) and primary angle closure (PAC) have a high prevalence in Chinese


In the conjunctiva TFF1, MUC5AC and human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) expression were analyzed using flow cytometry and were significantly higher in the glaucoma patients than controls
