Apr 6th, 2021 - In this study the investigators propose to perform a Phase II Clinical Trial which seeks to evaluate the safety of cell therapy as a new treatment for patients who suffer from acute non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). If it i...

Jul 16th, 2021 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Tocilizumab (TCZ) induced a slow and lasting remission after an ultra-short pulse (three days) of steroids in newly diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients, a proof-of-concept trial shows. His early research on cy...

Apr 3rd, 2018 - Case Diagnosis Funduscopy showed a marked asymmetry in the optic disc cup size, with focal tissue loss inferiorly of the right optic disc. There was no optic disc pallor. The cupping of the optic disc, in the absence of optic disc pallor, was sugg...

Dec 8th, 2017 - Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and neurologists may be widely overdiagnosing optic neuritis, researchers say. Neuro-ophthalmologists at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, could confirm only 40% of suspected cases of optic neuritis refer...

Mar 30th, 2017 - Case Diagnosis On OCT, the RNFL in the left eye was thinner than that in the right eye. OCT of the macula showed marked thinning of the inner one-half to two-thirds of the retina superiorly in the left eye. These findings, in addition to the trace...
