retinitis pigmentosa/edema

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive external retinal degeneration resulting from mutation in any of the 260 genes found in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The progression rate and findings of the disease are heterogeneous according to genetic mutation and heredity type. The initial

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) degeneration that begins as a night vision loss, resulting in narrowing of the visual field and legal blindness. RP is a heterogeneous genetic disorder, affecting 1/3000- 8000 people worldwide. RP is the

As part of the central nervous system (CNS), the retina shares key structural and functional features with the brain, making it a potential portal into a patient's medical future. Since the cerebral and retinal microvasculature are strikingly similar, the condition of retinal vasculature has been

The treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is well established in medical literature. These treatments include topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI), intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, and laser photocoagulation. Oral acetazolamide, a carbonic

Retinal detachments consist in a separation of the neuroretina from the retinal pigment epithelium. The most common form is rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), which occurs as a result of a full-thickness retinal break and the presence of vitreoretinal tractions. Photoreceptor cell death occurs

Introduction Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited progressive retinal degenerations characterized by photoreceptor dysfunction primarily affecting the rods, followed by cones with worldwide prevalence of approximately one in 3,000-4,000 for a total of 2 million affected individuals all

Objective: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a broad category of genetically heterogeneous diseases involving progressive visual loss by a constriction of visual field and loss of night vision. In up to one-third of patients, the peripheral vision loss can be compounded by central visual acuity loss from

A prospective phase II, nonrandomized open-label study of retinitis pigmentosa patients with best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity (BCVA) worse than 20/200. Standardized ophthalmic evaluation will be perform at baseline and at weeks 1, 4,12 and 24 (±1) following intravitreal injection of 10 x 106 bone
