2. 1. 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

4. 2. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) : clinical and experimental aspects

   Author : Lennart Berglin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : CNV; angiogenesis; age-related macular degeneration; AMD; aging; surgery; endothelial cells; VEGF; MMP; TIMP; MMP-2; immunohistochemistry; ECM; RPE; Bruch s membrane; wound healing; inflammation; macrophages; in-situ hybridization; mRNA; immature vessels; MMP-9; TIMP- 3; MMP-2 deficiency;

   Abstract : This work comprises different aspects of choroidal neovacularization (CNV); a leading cause of visual loss in the aged. It is an example of angiogenesis and a complication of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) The purpose was to study if patient age influences outcome of CNV surgery, to characterize the cellular content of CNV, to analyze the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and various matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their inhibitors (TIMP) in CNV and to study if MMP-2 influences experimental CNV growth.

5. 3. 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. 4. 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.

7. 5. Structure and Function of the Retina in Children Born Extremely Preterm and in Children Born At Term

   Author : Anna Molnar; Gerd E. Holmström; Eva K. B. Larsson; Sten O. Andréasson; Christopher J. Lyons; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; optical coherence tomography; multifocal electroretinogram; full-field electroretinography; extremely preterm children; retinopathy of prematurity; gestational age; gender; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

   Abstract : Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT), multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and full-field electroretinography (ffERG) give important information about retinal structure and function.Purpose: To collect normative data of macular Cirrus Spectral domain (SD)-OCT assessments and of mfERG measurements of healthy children (papers I and II).
