A key role for calpains in retinal ganglion cell death
Y.H. Yücel and N. GuptaCanadian Journal of Ophthalmology 2008; 43: 342-346
Abstract no. 535
'Double-hit' mechanisms of injury, such as glaucoma and comorbid cerebrovascular conditions, play a role in glaucomatous susceptibility and disease manifestations in young and aging populations at risk.
Extracellular matrix in the trabecular meshwork
T.S. Acott and M.J. KelleyExperimental Eye Research 2008; 86: 543-561
Abstract no. 509
The extracellular matrix of the trabecular meshwork is thought to be important in regulating intraocular pressure (IOP) in both normal and glaucomatous eyes. It is relatively dynamic, undergoing constant turnover and remodeling.
Immunological mechanisms in glaucoma
F. Grus and D. SunSeminars in Immunopathology 2008; 30: 121-126
Abstract no. 562
Autoimmunity, including changes in autoantibody profiles and natural autoimmunity, have been identified in glaucoma and this may have implications for glaucoma detection.
Adverse events after intravitreal triamcinolone in patients with and without uveitis
A. Galor, R. Margolis, O.M.F. Brasil, V.L. Perez, P.K. Kaiser, J.E. Sears, C.Y. Lowder and S.D. SmithOphthalmology 2007; 114: 1912-1918
Abstract no. 1378
Patients with uveitis treated with IVTA should be counseled about risks of pressure elevation and cataract progression, and they should be monitored closely.
Role of optic nerve imaging in glaucoma clinical practice and clinical trials
D.S. Greenfield and R.N. WeinrebAmerican Journal of Ophthalmology 2008; 145: 598-603
Abstract no. 640
Advances in computerized imaging technology provide useful measures that assist the clinician in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring and offer considerable opportunity for use as efficacy endpoints in clinical trials.
Comparison of HRT-3 Glaucoma Probability Score and Subjective Stereophotograph Assessment for Prediction of Progression in Glaucoma
L.M. Alencar, C. Bowd, R.N. Weinreb, L.M. Zangwill, P.A. Sample and F.A. MedeirosInvestigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science 2008; 49: 1898-1906
Abstract no. 895
HRT-3 Glaucoma Probability Score (GPS) values were predictive of conversion to glaucoma in patients with suspected glaucoma.
