Mashup Score: 6Ophthalmological Examination and Imaging Features that Better Predict Risk of Angle Closure in Siblings - 7 day(s) ago
Characteristics of individuals with angle closure may be useful in targeted screening of family members. Here, we assess if findings gathered during examination and imaging of patients with a known angle-closure diagnosis (probands) could better determine the risk of angle closure in the patients’ siblings.

Mashup Score: 13Diagnostic Performance of the Offline Medios Artificial Intelligence for Glaucoma Detection in a Rural Tele-Ophthalmology Setting - 14 day(s) ago
This study assesses the diagnostic efficacy of offline Medios Artificial Intelligence (AI) glaucoma software in a primary eye care setting, using nonmydriatic fundus images from Remidio’s Fundus-on-Phone (FOP NM-10). Artificial intelligence results were compared with tele-ophthalmologists’ diagnoses and with a glaucoma specialist’s assessment for those participants referred to a tertiary eye care hospital.

Mashup Score: 7The Impact of Trabecular Meshwork Remnants on Goniotomy Outcomes - 1 month(s) ago
Goniotomy is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in which the trabecular meshwork (TM) is excised to increase aqueous outflow, which leads to persistent lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma drop burden.1,2 During goniotomy, it is possible to incompletely remove the TM leading to formation of postoperative hinged remnants that can be visualized by gonioscopy or anterior segment examination depending on the size of the remnant.3–5 While it is postulated that minimizing residual TM strips may reduce fibrosis and improve outcomes, the impact of TM remnants following goniotomy remains unknown.

Mashup Score: 6Federated Learning in Glaucoma - 1 month(s) ago
Glaucoma is a complex eye condition with varied morphological and clinical presentations, making diagnosis and management challenging. The lack of a consensus definition for glaucoma or glaucomatous optic neuropathy further complicates the development of universal diagnostic tools. Developing robust artificial intelligence (AI) models for glaucoma screening is essential for early detection and treatment but faces significant obstacles. Effective deep learning algorithms require large, well-curated datasets from diverse patient populations and imaging protocols.

Mashup Score: 27Visualizing the Void: 3-Dimensional Insights into Optic Disc Pit - 1 month(s) ago
An 8-year-old boy presented with unilateral myopia, a tilted disc with a peripapillary atrophic chorioretinal crescent, and a circular gray area of excavation suggestive of an optic disc pit (A). In vivo imaging with OCT revealed the deep excavation (B), which was imperceptible during clinical examination, along with vitreous extension into the pit (arrow). Optic disc pit, a rare optic nerve anomaly resulting from incomplete embryonic fissure closure, may lead to adjacent retinal detachment due to traction from the vitreous base, potentially allowing liquefied vitreous to enter the subretinal space.

Mashup Score: 4Comparison of Bent Ab-Interno Needle Goniectomy and Goniotomy in Primary Congenital Glaucoma - 1 month(s) ago
Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a potentially blinding disease, and the search for the best surgical option always remains. This study investigated the efficacy of Bent Ab-Interno Needle Goniectomy (BANG) compared to the established standard of traditional goniotomy.

Mashup Score: 8Gap Analysis of Glaucoma Examination Concept Representations within Standard SNOMED Clinical Terms - 1 month(s) ago
Standardization of eye care data is important for clinical interoperability and research . We aimed to address gaps in the representations of glaucoma examination concepts within Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT), the preferred terminology of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Mashup Score: 3Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists: A Role in Glaucoma? - 2 month(s) ago
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are analogs of human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1; liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide) or the Gila monster protein exendin-4 (exenatide and lixisenatide). Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptors are located throughout the human body, including pancreatic beta cells, the gastrointestinal tract, the cardiovascular system, and the central nervous system. In addition to their indications for type 2 diabetes mellitus and weight loss, GLP-1R agonists are currently undergoing clinical trials for their potential in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and are considered as potential therapy for a wide variety of neurologic diseases on account of their neuroprotective effects and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
