Mashup Score: 0Clinical review of retinotopy - 10 month(s) ago
Two observations made 29 years apart are the cornerstones of this review on the contributions of Dr Gordon T. Plant to understanding pathology affecting the optic nerve. The first observation laid the anatomical basis in 1990 for the interpretation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in 2009. Retinal OCT offers clinicians detailed in vivo structural imaging of individual retinal…

Background The axons of ganglion cells in the nasal retina decussate at the optic chiasm. It is unclear why tumours cause more injury to crossing nasal fibres, thereby giving rise to temporal visual field loss in each eye. To address this issue, the course of fibres through the optic chiasm was examined following injection of a different fluorescent tracer into each eye of a monkey. Methods…

Why do #sellar #tumors tend to lead to temporal visual field loss? A study by #USCF #ophthalmology proposes that compressed decussating axons within the #optic #chiasm by these tumors may provide an explanation in primates.

The vascular supply of the optic nerve head is complex and remains incompletely delineated. Over the past 50 years, various investigators have attempted to clarify the relative contributions of the choroid, the short posterior ciliary arteries and the central retinal artery to the vascular beds of the inner retinal, prelaminar, laminar and retrolaminar segments of the nerve head. Conflicting…

Mashup Score: 0Radiation-induced optic neuropathy: a review - 11 month(s) ago
Radiation is a commonly used treatment modality for head and neck as well as CNS tumours, both benign and malignant. As newer oncology treatments such as immunotherapies allow for longer survival, complications from radiation therapy are becoming more common. Radiation-induced optic neuropathy is a feared complication due to rapid onset and potential for severe and bilateral vision loss. Careful…

Background/aims To determine agreement of one-field (1F, macula-centred), two-field (2F, disc–macula) and five-field (5F, macula, disc, superior, inferior and nasal) mydriatic handheld retinal imaging protocols for the assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) as compared with standard seven-field Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) photography. Methods Prospective, comparative…

A recent study compared one-field, two-field, and five-field handheld retinal imaging with standard 7-field photography for #DR screening. The addition of peripheral fields increased sensitivity & specificity for referable DR decreasing the ungradable rate https://t.co/gH1v6q3usC https://t.co/YWRbLn1vB3

Mashup Score: 2Accurate detection and grading of pterygium through smartphone by a fusion training model - 1 year(s) ago
Background/aims To improve the accuracy of pterygium screening and detection through smartphones, we established a fusion training model by blending a large number of slit-lamp image data with a small proportion of smartphone data. Method Two datasets were used, a slit-lamp image dataset containing 20 987 images and a smartphone-based image dataset containing 1094 images. The RFRC (Faster RCNN…
