Glaucoma and retinal disorders

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) has long been recognized as a microvasculopathy, but retinal diabetic neuropathy (RDN), characterized by inner retinal neurodegeneration, also occurs in people with diabetes mellitus (DM). We report that in 45 people with DM and no to minimal DR there was significant, progressive loss of the…

Primary congenital glaucoma (Buphthalmos) is an autosomal recessive eye disorder, postulated to result from developmental defects in the anterior eye segment. Previously, we reported two chromosomal locations for this condition on 2p21 (GLC3A) and 1p36 (GLC3B) respectively. In this study, heritable mutations of human…

Algorithms are presented for rapid, automatic, robust, adaptive, and accurate tracing of retinal vasculature and analysis of intersections and crossovers. This method improves upon prior work in several ways: 1) automatic adaptation from frame to frame without manual initialization/adjustment, with few tunable paramet…

Automated detection of blood vessel structures is becoming of crucial interest for better management of vascular disease. In this paper, we propose a new infinite active contour model that uses hybrid region information of the image to approach this problem. More specifically, an infinite perimeter regularizer, provid…

Vestibular migraine (VM) is the most common cause of episodic vertigo in adults as well as in children. The diagnostic criteria of the consensus document of the International Bárány Society for Neuro-Otology and the International Headache Society (2012) combine the typical signs and symptoms of migraine with the vesti…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic systemic disease that has increases in prevalence over time. DM can affect all ocular structures, with cataract being the most common ocular complication. Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Due to several mechanisms, there is an increased incidence of cataract for…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To identify the retinal vascular pathologies in patients with Alzheimer's type dementia (ATD) through optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging. METHODS: Our study included 26 patients in the patient group, and age-matched and sex-matched 26 subjects in the control group. A detailed opht…
