Article Review Paper: Corticosteroids and Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Elderly Cristina Bui San Diego City College Article Review Paper: Corticosteroids and Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Elderly The research article Corticosteroids and Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Elderly was authored by Micheal Marcus, Rogier Müskens, Wishal Ramdas, Rodger Wolfs, Paulus Jong, Johannes Vingerling, Hofman R, Bruno Albert, and Nomdo Jansonius and was published in 2012 in Switzerland. It is the original research
progression is through comprehensive eye test as well as direct imagining of the retina. Currently there are several methods are performed for the eye test in GCC region which include, Visual acuity test, Dilated exam, Fluorescein angiography, Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Ultrasound test. Therefore the main thrusts would be to discuss the procedure, efficiency and the disadvantages of these tests. Fluorescein angiography Fluorescein angiography one of the best ways used from to detect the eye
lifestyle would leave me with an immense sense of job satisfaction. I have thoroughly enjoyed my BTEC Extended Diploma in Applied Science programme, especially the Physics and Maths units. As an optometrist, their primary role involves measurement and optical correction of sight defects (refractive errors), detection and recognition of ocular disease and dysfunction. The most critical responsibility of Optometrists I believe is discriminating the subtle signs of early eye disease from normal variations
Introduction: Gas in 1968 described Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy (APMPPE) as being a condition that caused acute and rapid loss of central vision due to multiple pale lesions at the level of Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the posterior pole. (1) It is a self-limiting condition which recovers spontaneously over a three weeks period leaving residual pigment epithelial alterations.(2) The typical features in acute phase include cream colored placoid lesions at the
Irradiation in the red/near-infrared spectrum (R/NIR, 630 – 1000 nm) has been recently used as a potential therapeutic strategy to treat different diseases and injuries such as Mitochondrial Disease, Degenerative Eye Diseases, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, Metabolic Diseases (Eells et al., 2003), wound healing, central nervous system injury, and for restless leg syndrome (Fitzgerald et al., 2013). Dr. Janis Eells presented a study that was accomplished by her and
The Use of Nanoparticles in medicine and Cancer Therapy Nanoparticles are at the best side of the quickly progressing area of nanotechnology. The potential for Nanoparticles in cancer malignancy treatments and pharmaceutical shipping are endless with novel new programs consistently being investigated. Multi-purpose Nanoparticles play a very important part in cancer malignancy treatments and pharmaceutical shipping. The papers best parts the newest success and progression in cancer malignancy treatments
Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complicated chronic deteriorating disease that has an effect on the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes destruction of the myelin around the nerve fibers. “The exact etiology of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown; however, it is thought to be an immune mediated disease. MS is characterized by CNS inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss” (Compston & Coles, 2008). Typically, it is described by early relapses and remissions of neurological
Laser and Dentistry Although LASER is not a “Magic wand’’, each and every field of medicine utilizes the benefits of it and dentistry is not an exception. Research on application of laser in dentistry began when Ralph H Stern & Reider F Sognnaes1(1963) of Los Angeles School of Dentistry, University of California studied thermal effect of ruby laser on dental hard tissues & restorative materials. Since then there had been attempts to utilize the benefits of laser in each and every field of dentistry
