Cirugía no penetrante del glaucoma con espolonectomía. Valoración anatómica y funcional.
2016
INTRODUCCIÓN El glaucoma es una neuropatía óptica multifactorial que cursa con una pérdida progresiva de campo visual. La presión intraocular (PIO) es el factor de riesgo más importante y el parámetro modificable que mejor permite variar la evolución natural de la enfermedad. El tratamiento médico permite un control de la enfermedad en la mayoría de los casos, pero en ocasiones es necesario recurrir al tratamiento quirúrgico para producir descensos de la presión intraocular que eviten la progresión del daño. La trabeculectomía es el técnica quirúrgica de referencia, pero han ido apareciendo diferentes opciones con la finalidad de mantener los buenos resultados tensionales disminuyendo las c…
Visual Field defects, type A personality,anxiety and coping style in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
2012
Classification of glaucomatous visual field defects for different severity levels is important. The reasons for this are numerous, and include: to distinguish between healthy and diseased individuals, to have homogeneous grouping criteria when perimetry is used to define the severity of glaucoma, to adjust therapy on the basis of disease severity, to describe visual field conditions in a short and simple format, to monitor the progression of the disease, and to provide a common language for both clinical and research purposes. Many severity classification methods have been proposed, although none have had widespread use in clinical practice. Other methods, like the cumulative defect curve (…

Espolonectomía: una nueva modificación de la esclerectomía profunda no perforante
2021
Objetivos: Evaluar los resultados de una nueva modificación de la esclerectomía profunda no perforante (EPNP) denominada espolonectomía. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo no aleatorizado y comparativo que incluyó 98 ojos (grupo A) operados con espolonectomía, que consiste en la combinación de la escisión del espolón escleral con EPNP. El grupo control (B) incluyó 53 ojos operados con EPNP clásica. Durante 12 meses se estudiaron la presión intraocular (PIO), los medicamentos antiglaucomatosos que requirieron y las complicaciones. Resultados: La PIO media disminuyó de 25,69 ± 8,11 preoperatoria a 15,73 ± 4,16 mmHg después de la cirugía en el grupo A (p < 0,001). En el grupo B disminuyó de 26,66 …

To show the existence of IgG antibodies against retinal antigens in aqueous humor of normal tension glaucoma patients.Forty-two patients were included in this study. Aqueous humor was collected from control subjects (CO; n = 21) and patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG; n = 21). Western blot methods against bovine retinal antigens were used to detect the IgG antibody patterns. The complex antibody repertoires were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques. Mass spectrometry was used to identify the most important antigens.Very complex IgG antibody patterns against retinal antigens were found in all analyzed aqueous humor samples. Our multivariate approach could quantify differen…
