  2. 1. Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy : Genetic aetiology and as a risk factor in cataract surgery

    Author : Andreas Viberg; Berit Byström; Irina Golovleva; Patrik Danielson; Madeleine Zetterberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy; genetics; TCF4; trinucleotide repeat disorder; registry-based study; cataract surgery; outcome; PROM; corneal transplantation; dense cataract; posterior capsule rupture; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; Clinical Genetics; klinisk genetik;

    Abstract : Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a bilateral, often hereditary degenerative corneal disease, in which the disrupted endothelial cell function causes corneal swelling and reduced vision. An early clinical sign of FECD is corneal guttata, an irregularity of the endothelial layer. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in keratocytes : importance in corneal wound healing processes

    Author : Marta Sloniecka; Patrik Danielson; May Griffith; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; substance P; acetylcholine; migration; proliferation; apoptosis; corneal stroma;

    Abstract : Background: The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye and it is responsible for the majorityof the eye’s total focusing power. Keratocytes are the resident cells of the corneal stroma and their function isto produce extracellular matrix components and to take part in corneal healing after injury, which may occurdue to trauma, infection or surgery.

  5. 3. Corneal transplant outcome- a Swedish register

    Author : Margareta Claesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Corneal transplantation; Quality register; Long term follow up; Astigmatism; Bullous keratopathy; Graft survival; Visual outcome;

    Abstract : Aim. The aim of this study was to present different aspects of the outcome after corneal transplantation based on data from the Swedish Cornea Register. Papers. The first paper describes the register and gives descriptive statistics and analysis of data from a two-year follow up, while the last paper presents data from a ten-year follow up. READ MORE

  6. 4. Two New Corneal Diseases Characterized by Recurrent Erosions

    Author : Björn Hammar; Per Fagerholm; Erik Björck; Minna Vesaluoma; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Cornea; Corneal Dystrophy; Dystrophia Smolandiensis; Dystrophia Helsinglandica; Recurrent Erosions; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Recurrent corneal erosions are a common complication of superficial corneal wounds. They most commonly arise following a trauma, in association with various corneal dystrophies, or are idiopathic. READ MORE

  7. 5. Experimental studies of corneal neovascularisation

    Author : Branka Samolov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The cornea contains no vessels, which is a prerequisite for the maintenance of its transparency. Vessel ingrowth leads to opacification resulting in visual impairment, sometimes complete blindness. READ MORE
