Unilateral, Sectoral Retinal Metastasis of Small-Cell Lung Cancer Mimicking Viral Retinitis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37104687/
Retinal metastases are exceedingly rare, particularly retinal metastasis of SCLC. Retinal metastasis should be considered in patients initially diagnosed with viral retinitis who fail to improve despite antiviral therapy, particularly...
Conclusion: Retinal metastases are exceedingly rare, particularly retinal metastasis of SCLC. Retinal metastasis should be considered in patients initially diagnosed with viral retinitis who fail to improve despite antiviral therapy, particularly if they have a known history of malignancy. Furthermore, retinal metastasis of SCLC potentially...
Relationship Between Neovascularization of the Optic Disc and Diabetic Macular Edema
Neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is associated with tractional retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage, which cause severe visual impairment. Neovascularization of the disc (NVD) has already been studied with...
Conclusions/Relevance: A previous report showed high oxygen tension at the posterior pole of the retina in PDR, which is caused by an abundant supply of oxygen from neovascularization occurring in the same area of the eye. Another report indicated that PDR eyes have numerous neovascular vessels and abundant blood flow, whereas oxygen...
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products for Age-Related Macular Degeneration; Scaffold Fabrication and Delivery Methods

Retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represent a leading cause of blindness, resulting in permanent damage to retinal cells that are essential for maintaining normal vision. Around...
Conclusions/Relevance: In this mini-review, we focus on describing ATMP approaches including cell- and gene-based therapies for treatment of AMD along with their applications. We also aim to provide a brief overview of biological substitutes, also known as scaffolds, that can be used for delivery of cells to the target tissue and describe...
Beyond VEGF: targeting inflammation and other pathways for treatment of retinal disease
Source : https://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/early/2023/05/04/jpet.122.001563
Neovascular eye diseases include conditions such as retinopathy of prematurity, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Together, they are a major cause of vision loss and blindness worldwide....
Significance Statement: Discovery and therapeutic targeting of new angiogenesis mediators is necessary to improve treatment of blinding eye diseases like retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Novel targets undergoing evaluation and drug discovery work include proteins important for...
The relationship between renal function and diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes: A three-year prospective study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37095916/
The .gov means it's official. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you're on a federal government site. The site is secure....
Conclusions: Abnormal renal profiles (i.e., low levels of eGFR and high levels of MAU) were associated with the progression of DR, but not with the development of DME.
