The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.
The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI.

Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
Branch of the common carotid artery which supplies the anterior part of the brain, the eye and its appendages, the forehead and nose.

Analysis of blood flow in the long posterior ciliary artery of the cat. (1/68)

PURPOSE: Experiments were undertaken to use a new technique for direct on-line measurement of blood flow in the long posterior ciliary artery (LPCA) in cats and to evaluate possible physiological mechanisms controlling blood flow in the vascular beds perfused by this artery. METHODS: Blood flow in the temporal LPCA was measured on a continuous basis using ultrasonic flowmetry in anesthetized cats. Effects of acute sectioning of the sympathetic nerve and changes in LPCA and cerebral blood flows in response to altered levels of inspired CO2 and O2 were tested in some animals. In others, the presence of vascular autoregulatory mechanisms in response to stepwise elevations of intraocular pressure was studied. RESULTS: Blood flow in the temporal LPCA averaged 0.58+/-0.03 ml/min in 45 cats anesthetized with pentobarbital. Basal LPCA blood flow was not altered by acute sectioning of the sympathetic nerve or by changes in low levels of inspired CO2 and O2, although 10% CO2 caused a modest increase. Stepwise elevations of intraocular pressure resulted in comparable stepwise decreases of LPCA blood flow, with perfusion pressure declining in a linear manner throughout the perfusion-pressure range. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasonic flowmetry seems to be a useful tool for continuous on-line measurement of LPCA blood flow in the cat eye. Blood flow to vascular beds perfused by this artery does not seem to be under sympathetic neural control and is refractory to modest alterations of blood gas levels of CO2 and O2. Blood vessels perfused by the LPCA show no clear autoregulatory mechanisms.  (+info)

Effect of Ox-LDL on endothelium-dependent response in pig ciliary artery: prevention by an ET(A) antagonist. (2/68)

PURPOSE: To investigate whether oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) affects endothelium-dependent responses in isolated porcine ciliary arteries. METHODS: In a myograph system for isometric force measurements, quiescent vessels were incubated with 50 microg/ml, 100 microg/ml, or 200 microg/ml Ox-LDL; 100 microg/ml native LDL (n-LDL); 1 microM of the ET(A)- endothelin receptor antagonist BQ 123; 100 microg/ml Ox-LDL coadministered with 1 microM BQ 123; or 100 microg/ml Ox-LDL coadministered with 50 microM of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. Vessels with nonfunctional endothelium (intentionally and mechanically damaged) were also exposed to 100 microg/ml Ox-LDL. Two hours later, vessels were washed, precontracted with the thromboxane A2 analog U 46619 (approximately 0.1 microM), and exposed to bradykinin (0.1 nM to 3 microM), an endothelium-dependent relaxing agent. RESULTS: In quiescent vessels, Ox-LDL evoked delayed contractions. In contrast, no contractions were observed after exposure to n-LDL, BQ 123, Ox-LDL with BQ 123, or Ox-LDL with cycloheximide. In vessels with nonfunctional endothelium, Ox-LDL did not evoke contraction. Bradykinin-induced relaxations were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by Ox-LDL, but not by n-LDL, BQ 123 alone, Ox-LDL with BQ 123, or Ox-LDL with cycloheximide. CONCLUSIONS: In porcine ciliary arteries, Ox-LDL affects endothelium-dependent responses through the activation of ET(A)- endothelin receptors. As Ox-LDL can accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques, such a mechanism might be involved in the occlusion of the ophthalmic circulation observed in patients with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.  (+info)

Effect of acute intraocular pressure changes on short posterior ciliary artery haemodynamics. (3/68)

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Vascular insufficiency due to abnormal autoregulation has been proposed as a major factor in the development of glaucoma. The anterior optic nerve is primarily perfused by the short posterior ciliary arteries. The autoregulatory capacity of these vessels in response to acutely elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) was examined in normal human subjects. METHODS: Colour Doppler imaging was performed on the short posterior ciliary arteries of 10 normal subjects at baseline and during four incremental IOP elevations. Using a scleral suction cup placed temporally, IOP was elevated to approximately 25, 30, 40, and 50 mm Hg. Additional measurements were performed immediately after pressure release. Systolic and diastolic flow velocities were measured and Pourcelot's resistivity index was calculated. RESULTS: Systolic and diastolic flow velocities decreased linearly with each incremental increase in IOP (p < 0.001). Pourcelot's resistivity index increased linearly with each incremental increase in IOP (p < 0.001). Changes in end diastolic velocity, peak systolic velocity, and Pourcelot's resistivity index were linearly related to changes in IOP. CONCLUSION: The normal healthy eye is not able to autoregulate to maintain PCA blood flow velocities in response to acute large elevations in IOP.  (+info)

Morphological variations of the peripapillary circle of Zinn-Haller by flat section. (4/68)

AIMS: To evaluate the morphometric and morphological variations of the circle of Zinn-Haller (CZH) in the human eye. METHODS: 42 human enucleated eyes were used in this study. After transverse flat thick sections were cut through the optic nerve and adjacent sclera, tissue sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin or examined immediately by wet preparation under a light microscope. The average vessel diameter of the arterial circle and the average distance between the optic nerve head (ONH) and the arterial circle were determined. Various branching patterns of the CZH were also evaluated. RESULTS: The vessel diameter of the arterial circle was 123 (SD 75) microm (range 20-230 microm). The distance of the CZH from the ONH margin was 403 (352) microm (0-1050 microm). The CZH gave off branches to the optic nerve and to the peripapillary choroid (PPC) with various branching patterns especially at the entry point of paraoptic short posterior ciliary artery. CONCLUSIONS: The CZH exists within a variable distance from the ONH and its average diameter is similar to that of the central retinal vessels though it shows marked variation even in the same circle. The CZH also shows variable configurations in branching patterns. These variations may act as contributing factors that are responsible for the individual susceptibility of the anterior optic nerve and the PPC to circulatory disturbances.  (+info)

Microvasculature of the rat optic nerve head. (5/68)

PURPOSE: To describe the arterial blood supply, capillary bed, and venous drainage of the rat optic nerve head. METHODS: Ocular microvascular castings from 6 Wistar rats were prepared by injection of epoxy resin through the common carotid arteries. After polymerization, tissues were digested with 6 M KOH, and the castings washed, dried, and coated for scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Immediately posterior to the globe, the ophthalmic artery trifurcates into the central retinal artery and two posterior ciliary arteries. The central retinal artery directly provides capillaries to the nerve fiber layer and only contributes to capillary beds in the neck of the nerve head. The remainder is supplied by branches of the posterior ciliary arteries that are analogous to the primate circle of Zinn-Haller. Arterioles arising from these branches supply the capillaries of the transitional, or laminar, region of the optic nerve head. These capillaries are continuous with those of the neck and retrobulbar optic nerve head. All optic nerve head capillaries drain into the central retinal vein and veins of the optic nerve sheath. A flat choroidal sinus communicates with the central retinal vein, the choriocapillaris, and with large veins of the optic nerve sheath. CONCLUSIONS: The microvasculature of the rat optic nerve head bears several similarities to that of the primate, with a centripetal blood supply from posterior ciliary arteries and drainage into the central retinal and optic nerve sheath veins. Association of nerve sheath veins with the choroid represents an important difference from the primate.  (+info)

Neurogenic vasoconstriction as affected by cholinergic and nitroxidergic nerves in dog ciliary and ophthalmic arteries. (6/68)

PURPOSE: To determine the involvement of noradrenergic and other vasoconstrictor nerves in the contraction of ocular arteries and the modification by cholinergic and nitroxidergic nerves of vasoconstrictor nerve function. METHODS: Changes in isometric tension were recorded in helical strips of the canine posterior ciliary and external ophthalmic arteries denuded of the endothelium, which were stimulated by transmurally applied electrical pulses (5 Hz). Vasoconstrictor mediators were analyzed by pharmacological antagonists, such as prazosin, alpha,beta-methylene ATP, a P2alpha-purinoceptor antagonist, and BIBP3226, a neuropeptide Y receptor antagonist. RESULTS: Transmural electrical stimulation produced contractions that were potentiated by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA), a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor. The contraction was partially inhibited by prazosin and abolished by combined treatment with alpha,beta-methylene ATP but was not influenced by BIBP3226. Stimulation-induced contraction was attenuated by physostigmine and potentiated by atropine. Contractions induced by exogenous ATP were reversed to relaxations by alpha,beta-methylene ATP. In the strips treated with L-NA, prazosin, and alpha,beta-methylene ATP, the addition of L-arginine elicited relaxations by nerve stimulation. The ATP-induced relaxation was attenuated by aminophylline, whereas neurogenic relaxation was unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: Ciliary and ophthalmic arterial contractions by nerve stimulation are mediated by norepinephrine and ATP, which stimulate alpha1-adrenoceptor and P2X purinoceptor, respectively. ATP from the nerve is unlikely involved in vasodilatation. Acetylcholine derived from the nerve impairs the neurogenic contraction, possibly by interfering with the release of vasoconstrictor transmitters, and neurogenic NO also inhibits the contraction postjunctionally by physiological antagonism.  (+info)

Specialised sympathetic neuroeffector associations in immature rat iris arterioles. (7/68)

Sympathetic nerve-mediated vasoconstriction in iris arterioles of mature rats occurs via the activation of alpha(1B)-adrenoceptors alone, while in immature rat iris arterioles, vasoconstriction occurs via activation of both alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors. In mature rats the vast majority of sympathetic varicosities form close neuroeffector junctions. Serial section electron microscopy of 14 d iris arterioles has been used to determine whether restriction in physiological receptor types with age may result from the establishment of these close neuroeffector junctions. Ninety varicosities which lay within 4 microm of arteriolar smooth muscle were followed for their entire length. Varicosities rarely contained dense cored vesicles even after treatment with 5-hydroxydopamine. 47 % of varicosities formed close associations with muscle cells and 88 % formed close associations with muscle cells or melanocytes. Varicosities in bundles were as likely as single varicosities to form close associations with vascular smooth muscle cells, although the distribution of synaptic vesicles in single varicosities did not show the asymmetric accumulation towards the smooth muscle cells seen in the varicosities in bundles which were frequently clustered together. We conclude that restriction of physiological receptor types during development does not appear to correlate with the establishment of close neuroeffector junctions, although changes in presynaptic structures may contribute to the refinement of postsynaptic responses.  (+info)

Optic nerve and peripapillary choroidal microvasculature of the rat eye. (8/68)

PURPOSE: To investigate the three-dimensional microvascular anatomy of the optic nerve and peripapillary choroid in the rat eye. METHODS: Gross vascular anatomy of the posterior eye segment of Wistar rats was studied in serial microsections with a light microscope. The optic nerve and peripapillary choroidal vessels were sequentially microdissected, using methylmethacrylate corrosion microvascular castings, and were examined with a scanning electron microscope to determine the three-dimensional relationships of the vessels. RESULTS: The posterior ciliary artery traveled along the inferior side of the optic nerve sheath, directly entered the optic nerve head, and divided into three branches: the central retinal artery and medial and lateral long posterior ciliary arteries, which provided several short branches to the choroid. The optic nerve head vasculature was consistently nourished by a recurrent arteriole from the central retinal artery and an arteriole from the choroidal artery at the peripapillary choroid. The central retinal vein flowed into a venous anastomosis along the optic disc border of the peripapillary choroid. Capillaries within the optic nerve drained into the central retinal vein, the marginal venous anastomosis of the peripapillary choroid, and the pial veins, all of which flowed into the posterior ciliary veins along the optic nerve sheath. CONCLUSIONS: The findings illustrate vascular anatomic differences in optic nerve and peripapillary choroidal microcirculation between rat and human. In rats, the peripapillary choroid plays a significant role in both blood supply and venous drainage of the optic nerve head. The central retinal artery also contributes to the optic nerve head circulation.  (+info)

Purpose: : To evaluate the influence of a cilioretinal artery on the visual acuity in elderly individuals. Methods: : A representative and randomly selected sample of persons from the Østerbro population was included: 827 individuals aged 60-80 years were assessed for a cilioretinal artery using colour fundus photographs. Visual acuity in eyes of individuals with an identified unilateral cilioretinal artery was compared to the contralateral eye and subsequently stratified and analyzed concerning age and macular pathology. Results: : 209 (25.3%) individuals had a unilateral cilioretinal artery, 54 (6.5%) had bilateral cilioretinal arteries. The fraction of eyes with the cilioretinal artery was not influenced by age or sex. Age stratification revealed that the younger and older individuals (60-66 and 74-80 years, respectively) had the same visual acuity in eyes with and without a cilioretinal artery. Individuals aged 67-73 years had a significantly reduced visual acuity in eyes with a ...

We report retinal structural changes of a 37-year-old man diagnosed with the concomitant occlusion of cilioretinal artery and central retinal vein. Comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation was performed, followed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT, Heidelberg), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT angiography, Optovue Inc., Fremont, California, USA), fluorescein angiography, and color fundus photography. The use of OCT angiography and en face SD-OCT imaging as an adjunct test to map out correlative paracentral scotomas during follow-up allowed us to evaluate cilioretinal artery occlusion in the best way due to obtaining satisfactory images of the normal retinal vascular networks and areas of nonperfusion and congestion at various retinal levels.
Purpose: : To examine the relationship between retrobulbar blood flow and visual field progression parameters in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (OAG). Methods: : An analysis of 73 patients with OAG (mean age 68.5; 38 female) who completed 2 years of follow up in the Indianapolis Glaucoma Progression Study was performed. Retrobulbar blood flow was assessed by color Doppler imaging (CDI) in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), temporal (TPCA) and nasal (NPCA) short posterior ciliary arteries measuring peak systolic (PSV) and end diastolic (EDV) blood flow velocities and vascular resistance (RI). Visual field mean deviation defect (MD), pattern standard deviation defect (PSD) and calculated advanced glaucoma intervention (AGIS) score as measured by Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer using the 24-2 SITA standard algorithm was performed. Multivariable linear regression models with rank-transformed data were analyzed for the change from baseline for each measurement with ...
Methods In this observational study, 103 patients with OAG were examined at baseline and 18 months follow-up. Retrobulbar blood flow was measured by colour Doppler imaging in the ophthalmic, central retinal and temporal posterior ciliary artery (TPCA) and nasal short posterior ciliary artery. Retinal capillary blood flow was measured by confocal scanning laser Doppler. Peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness was assessed by optical coherence tomography. Non-parametric Wilcoxon signed ranks tests were used to assess for any statistically significant changes between the baseline and 18-month visits for the retrobulbar and retinal flow, as well as the structural parameters.. ...

Long posterior wall (LPW) Charnley acetabular implants are widely used as it is believed that the LPW helps to prevent dislocation. This has, however, not been proven statistically. In a preliminary study of these implants removed at revision marked erosion of the LPW was frequently seen, indicating that repetitive impingement may occur. The influence of the long posterior wall was therefore investigated mathematically. LPW and standard sockets were found to be equally likely to dislocate provided that the standard socket was anteverted 5 degrees more than the LPW socket. With simulated external rotation, LPW sockets impinge 30% earlier than standard sockets. When impingement occurs a torque is applied to the components, which increases the shear stresses at the cement-bone interface. The torques, although not large enough to dislodge the socket immediately, are repetitive and so may contribute to loosening. The LPW socket can generate twice as much torque as the standard socket and therefore is more
Background: Spinal fractures related to AS are often treated by long posterior stabilisation. The biomechanical rationale behind is the neutralisation of long lever arms in the ankylosed spine to avoid non-union or neurological deterioration. Despite the widespread application of long posterior instrumentation it has never been investigated in a biomechanical model. The objective of this study is to develop a finite element model for spinal fractures related to AS and to establish a biomechanical foundation for long posterior stabilisation of cervicothoracic fractures related to ankylosing spondylitis (AS).. Methods: An existing finite element-model (consisting of two separately developed models) including the cervical and thoracic spine were adapted to the conditions of AS (all discs fused, C0-C1 and C1-C2 mobile) and a fracture at the level C6-C7 was simulated. Besides a normal spine (no AS, no fracture) and the uninstrumented fractured spine four different posterior transpedicular ...
Thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptors in human eye sections were identified and localised using a potent TxA2 specific agonist, 125-iodinated 5-heptenoic acid 7-[3-[3-hydroxy-4-[4-(iodo-125I) phenoxy]-1-butenyl]-7- oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-,[1S-[1a,2a,(Z),3B(1E,3S*),4a]]-C23 H29 IO5 (125I-BOP) in a binding assay. TxA2 receptors were concentrated in several specific loci within ocular tissues, including the corneal epithelium, the ciliary processes, retina, and posterior ciliary arteries. In addition, we have used the method of in situ hybridisation to observe the distribution of TxA2 receptor mRNA. The distributions of both receptor binding sites and receptor mRNAs showed a close correlation. These studies employed film autoradiography which does not permit cellular resolution. In order to obtain enhanced cellular resolution and more detailed information about the localisation of the receptors and their corresponding mRNAs, emulsion autoradiography was used after ligand binding and in situ ...

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy in people older than 50 years. It is characterized by sudden partial loss of vision in one eye and has an increased risk of vision loss in the fellow eye. Although cause has not been determined, NAION is thought to occur following an idiopathic ischemic event involving the short posterior ciliary arteries that supply blood to the most anterior part of the optic nerve. A complete loss of vision is rare, but partial loss of visual field or acuity can result from NAION in the affected eye(s).. Patients who have a disc at risk or crowded disc (small cup: disc ratio) are at increased risk for developing NAION. Other risk factors for NAION include age , 50 years and white race (estimated 95% of cases). Hypertension and diabetes also predispose to NAION development. Other factors that have been associated with NAION include high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, stroke, cardiac and intraocular surgery, ...

IntroductionParacentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) has been described as an ischemic lesion of the middle retinal layers with a characteristic lamellar hyper-reflective placoid appearance in the acute phase and thinning of the involved retinal layers in the chronic phase. Optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) is a novel and non-invasive technique for imaging retinal capillary vasculature with en face segmentation capabilities.MethodCase series. We describe two patients with PAMM who underwent clinical examination and multimodal imaging including OCTA.ResultsIn the first patient, who presented with PAMM secondary to acute cilioretinal artery occlusion, OCTA demonstrated reduction in flow in the deep capillary plexus (DCP). One month later, OCTA revealed a flow void due to thinning of the GCL, INL, and OPL and paradoxical apparent ONL thickening. Similar findings of focal retinal lamellar ectopia were seen in the second patient, who had an incidentally detected chronic PAMM lesion

By addressing the vascular features that characterise myopia, this thesis aims to provide an understanding of the early structural changes associated with human myopia and the progression to co-morbidity with age. This thesis addresses three main areas of study: 1. Ocular perfusion features and autoregulatory mechanisms in human myopia; 2. Choroidal thickness at the macular area of myopic eyes; 3. Effect of chronic smoking on the ocular haemodynamics and autoregulation. This thesis demonstrated a reduced resting ocular pulse amplitude and retrobulbar blood flow in human myopia, associated with an apparent oversensitivity to the vasodilatory effects of hypercapnia, which may be due to anatomical differences in the volume of the vessel beds. In young smokers, normal resting state vascular characteristics were present; however there also appeared to be increased reactivity to hypercapnia, possibly due to relative chronic hypoxia. The systemic circulation in myopes and smokers over-reacted similarly ...

Thus if the central retinal artery gets occluded, there is complete loss of vision in that eye even though the fovea is not affected. The entire retina (with the exception of the fovea) becomes pale and swollen and opaque while the central fovea still appears reddish (this is because the choroid color shows through). This is the basis of the famous Cherry red spot seen on examination of the retina on funduscopy of a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). However it should be remembered that the Cilio retinal artery itself is a branch of the Short Posterior Ciliary Arteries which is derived from the Ophthalmic Artery. Therefore, its possible for the cilio retinal artery itself to occlude causing significant visual loss in the perfused macula region (surrounding visual field will remain intact). ...
4İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Pediatri A.D., Malatya, Doç. Dr. In our study, we aim to present an interesting case who developed central retinal artery occlusion with preserved central vision because of the presence of cilioretinal artery. A 17-year-old man appealed to our clinic with the complaint of visual loss in the right eye (seeing only the center where the eyes stare at, but not surroundings) suddenly begun 3 months ago. On the examination, visual acuity of the right eye was 10/10, anterior segment examination was normal. On fundus examination, optic nerve head pallor was observed. The examination of the left eye was normal. The computerized visual field revealed concentric narrowing of visual field in the right eye. Since neurologic examination and VEP examination were normal, we carefully reexamined the fundus, and recognized the presence of cilioretinal artery in the right eye. Given these findings, the diagnosis of the previous occlusion of central retinal artery in the ...
Purpose. The aim was to examine if the retinal circulation in the pig can be accessed using interventional neuroradiology and to explore the possibility to create occlusions that result in experimental retinal ischemia. Methods. Six experiments were performed using 100 kg pigs. The external carotid system was catheterizised using fluoroscopy monitored, transfemoral, endovascular approach. Transient and permanent vascular occlusions were performed using an angioplasty balloon catheter or a liquid embolic agent that was administered via an injection-catheter. Results. A technique for transfemoral catheterization of arteries supplying the retina was established. The ophthalmic artery was demonstrated to give rise to the main ciliary artery, from which the retinal artery branched as a single or several arteries. A balloon-catheter could be introduced into the ophthalmic artery, but not into the main ciliary artery. An injection-catheter could, in all experiments, be introduced into the main ciliary ...
GCA causes vasculitis characterized by granulomatous inflammation in the wall of medium-size and large arteries and preferentially affects extracranial branches of the carotid artery1. Occlusion of the posterior ciliary arteries leading to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is the most frequent complication, but cerebral arteries can also be involved, leading to cerebral infarction. Nesher, et al2 reported cranial ischemic complications (including visual loss and stroke) in 25% of a group of patients with GCA, but Wiszniewska, et al3 found only 0.15% of stroke in a population of 4086 patients with GCA. Vertebral arteries are more likely affected than internal carotid arteries, especially in the extradural portion, where there is more elastic tissue4. Our patients cerebral angiography showed multiple stenosis of this portion of the right vertebral artery, but the intracranial portion and the basilar artery were of normal diameter without stenosis (Figure 1B). Involvement of intracranial arteries ...

Publisher Copyright: © 2018. PY - 2018/9. Y1 - 2018/9. N2 - Purpose: To report a case of Non-Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) in a middle-aged bodybuilder in excellent physiological condition without any signs or symptoms of vasculopathy and a history of nitric oxide supplement usage. Observations: The patient had visual acuity of 20/25 in the right eye, and 20/30 in the left eye, with a relative afferent pupillary defect and dyschromatopsia in the right eye. Visual field testing with Humphrey perimetry demonstrated an inferior altitudinal field defect OD. Fundus examination showed a small cupless disc OD with mild pallor, and a small cupless disc OS. He denied usage of sildenafil or other phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor medications but frequently ingested megadoses of nitric oxide (NO) as part of ...

A central retinal artery occlusion is caused by arteriosclerosis, small emboli from cardiac arhythmias, temporal arteritis, and many other causes. The central vision can sometimes be maintained if there is an anomylous cilio-retinal artery, otherwise there is profound sudden loss of vision which is often unreversible unless treated within a short period of time ...
Prior to pigment spot formation, there is no distinctive cell population found specifically at the future position of the posterior ciliated cells (Figure8A). By spot stage, cells just anteriolateral to the pigment spot are distinguished from the surrounding epithelial cells due to their columnar morphology and alignment (Figure8A), coincident with the spatial expression of AmqNotch and AmqDelta4 at this stage (Figures 5B and7B). In late ring embryos, these cells have further elongated internally, and are polarized; nuclei are basal, cilia are apical and the cells are in small clusters (Figure8A). The expression of AmqNotch and AmqDelta4 is now also seen in a narrower domain that lies just below the surface of the embryo (Figures 5D,D and 7E). The larval expression of AmqDelta4 remains in the region under the pigment ring, the presumptive location of the nuclei of the cells bearing the long posterior cilia (Figure5E).. At the anterior pole of the A. queenslandica larva is a cluster of ...

In HIRUDINARIA the excretory system includes 17 pairs of Nephridia. They are arranged in 6th to 22nd segments, one pair in each segment. In these 17 pairs the first six pairs will not show contact with testis. They are called pre-testicular nephridia. The next 11 pairs of nephridia will show contact with testis, hence they are called testicular nephridia.. Structure of Testicular Nephridium: Each nephridium contains six regions. 1) Main lobe 2) Vesicle 3) Apical lobe 4) Inner lobe 5) Initial lobe 6) Ciliated organ. 1) Main lobe: It is the bigger part of the nephridium. It is present in between two adjacent crop caecae. It has short posterior and long anterior limbs. They are free in the median axis. They are used externally. It looks like a horse shoe. 2) Vesicle : It is a thin walled large chamber. It shows inner ciliated epithelium. It is present behind the main lobe. It gets a vesicle duct from the ventral end of the anterior limb of the main lobe. This vesicle takes up storage of excretory ...
SUMMARY: We report 11 patients who were referred to our institution for severe open-angle glaucoma who had a paraoptic cyst on MR imaging. All cysts were extraoptic and retrolaminar; most were deforming the adjacent optic nerve. Cysts had a high signal on T2 and FLAIR sequences, and a variable signal on T1 and variable echogenicity, suggesting different proteinaceous content. Arterial vascularization of the optic nerve was normal. Cyst volumes were inversely correlated with the severity of glaucoma on the same eye (P , .01-.05, Spearman correlation coefficient). We hypothesized that such cysts may reflect a valve mechanism, which would allow preservation of the translamina cribrosa pressure and thus could preserve visual function. The rarity of this association, together with the frequent mass effect of the cyst on the optic nerve, stresses the necessity of long-term follow-up in these patients.. ...
Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION or NAAION) is a condition that occurs when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked. Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, sometimes called eye stroke, is characterized by rapid vision loss or blindness that may occur over minutes, hours, or sometimes days. Risk factors for Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy include high blood pressure, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.. In rare cases, Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy has occurred in patients taking PD5 inhibitors, such as Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra. If you or a loved one took Cialis, Viagra, or Levitra and experienced a serious side effect, such as NAION, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Central retinal artery occlusion is a relatively rare emergent condition of the eye resulting in sudden painless vision loss. This vision loss is usually dramatic and permanent and the prognosis is poor. Patients particularly at risk include those with giant cell arteritis, atherosclerosis, and thromboembolic disease, a wide variety of treatment modalities have been tried over the last one hundred years with little to no success, with the exception of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.. The arterial blood supply to the eye is provided by the ophthalmic artery, one of the branches of cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery. Some of the branches of the ophthalmic artery (lacrimal, supraorbital, ethmoidals, medial palpebral, frontal, dorsal nasal) supply orbital structures, while others (central artery of the retina, short and long posterior ciliaries, anterior ciliaries) supply the tissues of the globe. The central retinal artery enters the globe within the substance of the optic nerve and serves ...

A doctor may also order a test of your bloods sedimentation rate, and a temporal artery biopsy may be useful if giant cell arteritis is suspected.. Vision loss with CRAO is usually severe. However, CRAOs in patients who have a cilioretinal artery have better visual prognosis, usually recovering to 20/50 vision or better in over 80% of eyes. Visual field loss in BRAO is usually permanent, but central visual acuity may recover to 20/40 or better in 80% of eyes.. Formation of new blood vessels of the retina or iris that are prone to bleed is a rare complication seen after a CRAO or BRAO. Growth of these vessels can further decrease vision by causing vitreous hemorrhage and glaucoma. If this happens, laser photocoagulation therapy is used to create burns in the area of the blocked artery to try to lower the oxygen demand of the retina and thus stop the abnormal blood vessels from growing.. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF medications such as Avastin® (bevacizumab), Lucentis® (ranibizumab) or ...

What is Central Retinal Artery Occlusion?. The central retinal artery branches off the ophthalmic artery which in turn branches off the internal carotid artery. The central retinal artery is vital because it supplies blood to the inner two-thirds of the retina. . If the central retinal artery becomes occluded, there will be a sudden painless loss of vision in that eye.. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is generally due to an embolism including platelet-fibrin, cholesterol, or calcium plaque. The emboli break off vessel walls ...

Introduction: The venturi effect, flow drag effect and abnormal mitral valve apparatus have all been implicated in the development of systolic anterior motion (SAM) of mitral valve among HCM patients. Nevertheless, SAM has also been shown to occur in the absence of HCM or abnormal mitral apparatus. A long posterior mitral leaflet (PML) in relation to the LV cavity may move the coaptation point of the leaflets anteriorly during systole, thus exposing the PML/AML to the flow drag effect of the ejecting blood.. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that a simple mismatch between PML length and LV cavity i.e. a high PML/LV internal diameter in systole (LVIDS) ratio is an important factor for SAM of mitral valve to occur in HCM patient. The null hypothesis is there was no difference in the PML/LVIDS ratio among HCM patients, with or without SAM.. Methods: Consecutive 74 patients who were diagnosed to have HCM with asymmetrical septal hypertrophy(ASH) from our echocardiography laboratories from November 2007 ...
Sympathetic innervation to the eye consists of a three neuron arc. The first neuron originates in the hypothalamus. It descends and travels between the levels of the eighth cervical and forth thoracic vertebrae (C8-T4) of the spinal cord. There, it synapses with second order neurons whose preganglionic cell bodies give rise to axons. These axons pass over the apex of the lung and enter the sympathetic chain in the neck, synapsing in the superior cervical ganglion. Here, cell bodies of third order neurons give rise to postganglionic axons that course to the eye via the cavernous sinus. These sympathetic nerve fibers course anteriorly through the uveal tract and join the fibers of long posterior ciliary nerves to innervate the dilator of the iris. Postganglionic sympathetic fibers also innervate the muscle of Mueller within the eyelid, which is responsible for the initiation of eyelid retraction during eyelid opening. Postganglionic sympathetic fibers, responsible for facial sweating, follow the ...
Lack of available treatment for patients with NAION is a source of discomfort for the neuroophthalmologist. Various agents and procedures for NAION treatment have been suggested, but most without encouraging results.. The idea of treating NAION with corticosteroids is that relieving the pressure on the axons during the acute phase (when the optic disc is edematous) may prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Therefore, in most studies corticosteroids were administered in the acute phase, which is believed to be within the first 2 weeks [19]. This therapeutic window is also supported by animal models [25] as well as the common clinical experience of general progression in visual loss during this period, with stabilization thereafter [3]. For this reason the IONDT [4] also allowed a 2-week therapeutic window for the decompression to be made (for regular-entry patients). In our study all patients also received treatment within 2 weeks of onset.. The largest series to date reporting ...
