ALLMedicine™ Retinitis Pigmentosa Center

Apr 12th, 2021 - To compare changes of chorioretinal blood perfusion between Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) and typical retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and perform a staging and a longitudinal analysis of chorioretinal perfusion in BCD. Twenty-eight BCD patients (56...

Apr 9th, 2021 - We report a novel cardiomyopathy associated to Usher syndrome and related to combined mutation of MYO7A and Calreticulin genes. A 37-year-old man with deafness and vision impairment because of retinitis pigmentosa since childhood and a MYO7A gene ...

Apr 6th, 2021 - Precision genome engineering, with targeted therapy towards patient-specific mutations is predicted to be the future of personalized medicine. Ophthalmology is in the frontiers of development of targeted therapy since the eye is an accessible orga...

Apr 5th, 2021 - Human daytime vision relies on the function of cone photoreceptors at the center of the retina, the fovea. Patients suffering from the most prevalent form of inherited retinal degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, lose night vision because of mutati...

Mar 31st, 2021 - To explore and evaluate an appropriate deep learning system (DLS) for the detection of 12 major fundus diseases using colour fundus photography. Diagnostic performance of a DLS was tested on the detection of normal fundus and 12 major fundus disea...

Apr 17th, 2018 - Case Diagnosis X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), an inherited mutation that causes early-onset retinoschisis, or splitting of the retina, is the correct diagnosis. The affected RS1 gene, which encodes the protein retinoschisin, causes a disruption of...

Mar 29th, 2018 - Children with retinitis pigmentosa who received vitamin A supplementation were associated with slower rate of cone electroretinogram amplitude compared to children who did not, a small study found. The estimated mean rate of change smaller in the ...

Sep 19th, 2017 - Want a less stressful operating room experience? One ophthalmologist offers strategies to remain calm under pressure. Two potential strategies show promise for cone regeneration and restoring glucose transport in patients with retinitis pigmentosa...

Nov 18th, 2015 - LAS VEGAS — After patients blinded by retinitis pigmentosa underwent transchoroidal implantation of a subretinal device (Alpha IMS, Retina Implant AG), almost 50% could recognize shapes and details of objects 12 months after implantation, and anot...

Jul 16th, 2015 - A retinal prosthesis system can safely, effectively, and reliably restore enough visual function to patients with late-stage retinitis pigmentosa to improve object detection and overall well-being, according to findings from an international trial...
