Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the working-age population worldwide. DR is being recognized as a neurodegenerative disease of the retina as opposed to previously considered solely as a
Retinal nonperfusion drives vision-threatening complications such as pathological neovascularization, which can lead to neovascular glaucoma, vitreous hemorrhage, or tractional retinal detachments and macular edema in various retinal vascular diseases including diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein
Ocular perfusion pressure (ocular perfusion pressure - OPP), considered the driving force of ocular blood flow. Perfusion pressure is defined as the difference between the artery and vein blood pressure. Because ocular venous pressure is the same or slightly higher than the IOP (intra ocular
In recent years there has been particular interest in ketamine-propofol for sedation of patients who are candidates for short minimally invasive surgical procedures. In some centers in Canada and the U.S. is, in fact, the first choice of sedation in the ED. There are also publications of their
Fifty patients with NTG and 50 age and gender-matched control subjects will be recruited. All patients will be underwent eye examination (medical history, best corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp and stereo optic disc evaluation, Goldmann applanation tonometry, central corneal thickness measurement ,
Rationale: The term neurovascular coupling refers to the vascular response to an increased neuronal activity. The contact of the nerve terminals to the cortical blood vessels is mostly realized through astrocytes. A major defining property of glaucoma, cupping of the optic disc, implies tissue

Diabetic macular edema (DME) results from abnormal leakage of macromolecules into the extracellular space from microaneurysms and incompetent blood vessel walls due to small vessel damage from high blood glucose levels. Oncotic forces then allow water into the extracellular space. Abnormalities in
