Although laser photocoagulation and PDT destroy pathological vessels, they neither extenuate the primary angiogenic stimuli nor prevent the development of new vessel. Antiangiogenic substances are able to resolve these problems. Antiangiogenic therapy prevents recurrence of AMD by reversing the CNV lesions. Pegaptanib (brand name: Macugen) was the first intravitreal pharmacotherapy approved by the FDA in 2004. It binds to VEGF165 and is responsible for “blood-retinal barrier breakdown and pathological

Integrated Pathology Case Study Multifactorial disease - Vascular Dysfunction in Heart Disease BSc Biomedical Sciences School of Healthcare Science Faculty of Science and Engineering Manchester Metropolitan University Ayesha Iqbal 12109879 Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality has reached epidemic proportions. Consequently, the importance of prevention of the disease, in addition to the treatment of the clinical outcome of the existing disease, has emerged as a

Fingerprints have been used for a very long time, as far back as 3,000 years ago in China as identification. The use of ancient fingerprints are not the same techniques we use today. In 1880, a man by the name of Henry Fauld, “a Scottish physician working in a hospital in Japan, published his own views on the potential application of fingerprinting to personal identification” (Saferstein, 2016, pg. 164). He suggested that the skin patterns could be important for the identification of criminals. After

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that can cause damage to many end organs, including the eye if it is not controlled.1 Diabetic macular edema is one of the many complications that can occur from Diabetes Mellitus. It defined as swelling or thickening of the eye’s macula, which results from blood vessels in the retina leaking fluids.2 The retina and macula work together to allow for sharp central vision.1 When individuals with Diabetes Mellitus have poorly controlled hyperglycemia, the blood

regularly include visual outcomes [57]. This trend has been supported by the implementation of highly sensitive tools with the ability to detect structural and functional visual deficits in patients with MS. Among structural instruments, optical coherence tomography

1. Briefly define the following parts of the eye and their role in vision: A. Optic Nerve: each of the second pair of cranial nerves, transmitting impulses to the brain from the retina at the back of the eye. It is where energy is converted into electrical energy so it can travel to the brain and trigger responses. The optic nerve is a continuation of rods and cones which make up the retina. However, at its head, there is a blind spot because there are no photoreceptors in this part of

Introduction: Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the world, affecting around 2.5 million people in the United States,1 and the incidence is increasing. In 2010, approximately 45 million people were diagnosed with open angle glaucoma in the world and it is estimated that in 2020, these numbers will increase to 59 million in the world with 3.5 million cases in the United States.2 Glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness in 12.3% of the cases.2 Because vision loss in glaucoma
