A case of potassium iodate toxicity in a 22-year-old man was reported. After taking a solution of highly concentrated potassium iodate, the patient developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and blurred vision. The visual acuity was hand motion in both eyes. The funduscopic examination showed retinal
17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare form of congenital abnormality in steroid synthesis, usually associated with moderate arterial hypertension and suppression of the renin-angiotensin system in a young adult. We report on a 45 years old woman with malignant hypertension (220/135 mmHg, severe
BACKGROUND
Amiodarone (Cordarone; Wyeth, Ayerst, New York) is a potassium channel blocking antiarrythmal medication indicated for recurrent ventricular fibrillation and recurrent hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia. Chemically, it is classified as an iodinated benzofuran derivate
We report a case of Gitelman syndrome (GS) in a dizygotic twin who presented at 12 years of age with growth delay, metabolic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia with inappropriate kaliuresis, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension with bilateral papilledema (pseudotumor cerebri). The
BACKGROUND
To investigate the effect of induced arteriolar constriction (AC) on alterations in gene expression of factors implicated in the development of edema in branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
METHODS
In Brown-Norway rats, BRVO was induced by laser photocoagulation of the veins in one half
OBJECTIVE
To provide a current review of recent publications with regards to intracranial hypertension.
RESULTS
Attempts were made to provide pediatric data; however, the recent completion of the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT) has provided a wealth of data with regards
Osmotic swelling of retinal neurons and glial cells is an important pathogenic factor of retinal edema formation. Here, we show that the neuroprotective factor osteopontin (OPN), which is released from retinal glial (Müller) cells after stimulation of the cells with glial cell line-derived
OBJECTIVE
To present the use of 6-methylprednisolone IV and prostaglandin E1 IV, a powerful vasodilator of the microcirculation, in the treatment of a branch retinal arterial occlusion.
METHODS
A 63-year-old man presented with a 3-hour history of a sudden loss of vision in the right eye. On
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESES: Exposure to short-wave optical radiation is a potential hazard for vision. In the present study, blue-light damage is studied in rat retina. It was hypothesized that the absorption of blue light by cytochrome oxidase in rat retina inhibits this enzyme, and may reduce the
OBJECTIVE
Osmotic swelling of Müller glial cells has been suggested to contribute to retinal edema. We determined the role of adenosine signaling in the inhibition of Müller cell swelling in the murine retina.
METHODS
The size of Müller cell somata was recorded before and during perfusion of retinal
In normal retinas, amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulates in the subretinal space, at the interface of the retinal pigment epithelium, and the photoreceptor outer segments. However, the molecular and cellular effects of subretinal Aβ remain inadequately elucidated. We previously showed that subretinal injection
Approximately 30 patients with familial hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria have been reported. We describe an 8-year-old girl with cardinal findings of familial hypomagnesemia-hypercalciuria (hypomagnesemia, hypermagnesiuria, hypercalciuria, renal insufficiency, hyperuricemia, elevated serum
OBJECTIVE
In a rat model of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), changes in gene expression of factors implicated in the development of retinal edema and alterations in the properties of Müller cells were determined.
METHODS
In adult Long-Evans rats, BRVO was induced by laser photocoagulation of
BACKGROUND
Müller glial cells are important regulators of physiological function of retina. In a model disease of retinal inflammation and spontaneous recurrent uveitis in horses (ERU), we could show that retinal Müller glial cells significantly change potassium and water channel protein expression
The anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid, triamcinolone acetonide, is used clinically for the rapid resolution of diabetic macular edema. Osmotic swelling of glial cells may contribute to the development of retinal edema. Triamcinolone inhibits the swelling of retinal glial cells of diabetic rats. Here,
