Acute endothelial failure after cosmetic iris implants (NewIris®)

2011

Maria Garcia-Pous1, Patricia Udaondo2, Salvador Garcia-Delpech2, David Salom1, Manuel Díaz-Llopis21Faculty of Medicine, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain; 2Ophthalmology Department, Hospital Universitario La Fe, Valencia, SpainAbstract: We report a case of an acute endothelial failure after the implantation of a new cosmetic, colored, artificial iris diaphragm implant called NewIris®. A 21-year-old woman came to us complaining of progressive loss of vision and pain after NewIris lenses had been implanted. Decreased visual acuity, corneal edema, and increased intraocular pressure in both eyes appeared only 3 weeks after the surgery. The lenses were removed as soon as…

The giant spectrin βV couples the molecular motors to phototransduction and Usher syndrome type I proteins along their trafficking route.

2013

International audience; Mutations in the myosin VIIa gene cause Usher syndrome type IB (USH1B), characterized by deaf-blindness. A delay of opsin trafficking has been observed in the retinal photoreceptor cells of myosin VIIa-deficient mice. We identified spectrin bV, the mammalian b-heavy spectrin, as a myosin VIIa-and rhodopsin-interacting partner in photoreceptor cells. Spectrin bV displays a polarized distribution from the Golgi apparatus to the base of the outer segment, which, unlike that of other b spectrins, matches the trafficking route of opsin and other phototransduction proteins. Formation of spectrin bV-rhodopsin complex could be detected in the differentiating photoreceptors a…

VAMPIRE: Vessel assessment and measurement platform for images of the REtina

2011

We present VAMPIRE, a software application for efficient, semi-automatic quantification of retinal vessel properties with large collections of fundus camera images. VAMPIRE is also an international collaborative project of four image processing groups and five clinical centres. The system provides automatic detection of retinal landmarks (optic disc, vasculature), and quantifies key parameters used frequently in investigative studies: vessel width, vessel branching coefficients, and tortuosity. The ultimate vision is to make VAMPIRE available as a public tool, to support quantification and analysis of large collections of fundus camera images.

Automated Detection of Optic Disc Location in Retinal Images

2008

This contribution presents an automated method to locate the optic disc in color fundus images. The method uses texture descriptors and a regression based method in order to determine the best circle that fits the optic disc. The best circle is chosen from a set of circles determined with an innovative method, not using the Hough transform as past approaches. An evaluation of the proposed method has been done using a database of 40 images. On this data set, our method achieved 95% success rate for the localization of the optic disc and 70% success rate for the identification of the optic disc contour (as a circle).

Angioma retiniano como síndrome mascarada de tumor del nervio óptico en la enfermedad de Von Hippel-Lindau

2006

espanolCaso clinico: Varon de 35 anos con antecedentes familiares de enfermedad de von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) diagnosticado de dos hemangiomas retinianos en ojo derecho (OD) y uno en ojo izquierdo. Las lesiones se trataron con crioterapia en OD y laserterapia en OI. A pesar de una aparente buena evolucion de las lesiones retinianas hubo una progresiva disminucion de la AV. Se realizo RM donde se evidencio lesiones tumorales del nervio optico (NO) bilaterales compatibles con glioma, meningioma o hemangioblastoma. Actualmente: AV (OD): movimiento de manos y AV(OI): 0,6. Discusion: La presencia de los hemangiomas retinianos en este paciente hizo retrasar el diagnostico de un tumor en el NO, infre…
