  2. 6. Cataract surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus : clinical studies

    Author : Anna Zaczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : diabetic retinopathy; clinically significant macular edema; miosis; mydriasis; neuropathy; phenylephrine; pilocarpine; visual acuity; laser flare intensity; cataract surgery; phacoemulsification; blood-aqueous barrier; postoperative inflammation; posterior capsule opacification; intraocular lens; Scheimflug camera;

    Abstract : The aim was to evaluate phacoemulsification cataract extraction with small incision and implantation of heparin-coated intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aqueous flare intensity, which reflects the protein concentration in the aqueous humor, was used to evaluate blood-aqueous function in patients with DM type I and type II. READ MORE

  4. 7. Retinal morphology and function in prematurely-born children at school age

    Author : Hanna Åkerblom; Gerd Holmström; Anne Fulton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Retinopathy of prematurity; Prematurity; Retinal development; OCT; Fullfield ERG; Multifocal ERG; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : Preterm birth may lead to complications during the neonatal period that can cause visual dysfunctions. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and neurological complications are well known reasons for visual dysfunctions, but preterm children with no or only mild ROP and no evident neurological problems may also be affected visually when they grow up.

  5. 8. 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

  6. 9. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging for investigating alterations in brain organization after injury during early development : with specific reference to the motor and visual system

    Author : Finn Lennartsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Disturbances or injuries to the brain during early development cause different types of structural abnormalities, depending mainly on the stage of maturation of the brain at the time of the insult. These are, herein, collectively referred to as early brain lesions. READ MORE

  7. 10. Retinal function in deaf-blind syndromes

    Author : Eva Malm; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; general anesthesia.; molecular genetics; hearing impairment; full-field electroretinography; Retinal degeneration;

    Abstract : A variety of disorders can cause retinal degeneration and hearing impairment, and it is of great value to have an early diagnosis since there is a large variation in phenotype and prognosis both within and between the different disorders. The general aim of this thesis was to characterize the retinal function, to describe the phenotype, and – where appropriate – to relate the phenotype to genotype in patients with combined visual and hearing impairment.
