  2. 6. Aspects of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Healthy Eyes and Eyes with Retinal Diseases

    Author : Urban Eriksson; Eva Docent; Albert Professor Emeritus; Per Professor; Michael Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique in which cross-sectional images from intraocular tissue can be obtained. The quantitative and qualitative examinations are used for evaluating retinal diseases. READ MORE

  4. 7. Patient-reported and medical outcomes in patients treated for diabetic macular edema : A real-world longitudinal study

    Author : Therese Granström; Janeth Leksell; Anna Forsberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes mellitus; Patient-reported outcomes; Retinopathy; Macular edema; Anti-VEGF treatment; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Hälsa och välfärd;

    Abstract : Background Diabetes mellitus can lead to complications, when the complication affects the eyes it is called retinopathy. This can affect the macula and lead to severe loss of vision, diabetic macular edema (DME). This condition has traditionally been treated with laser. READ MORE

  5. 8. Optics for Low Vision Enabling

    Author : Jörgen Gustafsson; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eccentric viewing; Low vision optics; Low vision rehabilitation; People with low vision; Preferred retinal; locus PRL ; Resolution; Visual acuity; Ophtalmology; Medicinsk teknik; Medical technology; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Oftalmologi; Physical medicine; Contrast sensitivity; Detection; Eccentric correction; CFL ; Central visual field loss; Central scotoma; Aberrations; Astigmatism;

    Abstract : For people with central visual field loss, eccentric vision is all that they have to rely on. Even for those who learn how to correctly utilize their eccentric vision, it will never be as good as the central for two entirely different reasons: the off-axis optics of the eye can result in large refractive errors, and the low function of the peripheral retina.

  6. 9. Comparing retinal function and structure in diabetic maculopathy and retinal detachment with ff-ERG and a combination of mfERG and OCT

    Author : Kristina Holm; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mfERG; OCT; ff-ERG; diabetes; macular edema; retinal detachment; scleral buckling; retinectomy;

    Abstract : Diabetic maculopathy and retinal detachment, especially involving macula, are potentially sight-threatening conditions. Previous evaluations of retinal function, and treatment of these conditions have been subjective methods depending on the examiner or the collaboration with the examined patient. READ MORE

  7. 10. Localization of five human genes by clinical and molecular genetic methods

    Author : Mihailo Vujic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Larsen syndrome; LRS1; Multiple hereditary exostoses; EXT2; Best macular dystrophy; VMD2; Noonan syndrome; NS3; Tripeptidyl peptidase-2; TPP2;

    Abstract : Four of the research projects reported in this thesis start from the gene effects observed in clinical practice. Finding a disease causing gene is challenging, exciting and beneficial for the patient, the family and for the society. READ MORE
