LAMELLAR MACULAR HOLE WITH LAMELLAR HOLE-ASSOCIATED EPIRETINAL PROLIFERATION IN FAMILIAL EXUDATIVE VITREORETINOPATHY

Retinal Cases & Brief Reports
|August 23, 2018
Summary
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy in children can lead to lamellar macular holes with associated epiretinal proliferation. Vitreoretinal surgery effectively closed the macular hole in this pediatric case.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Diseases
- Pediatric Ophthalmology
Background:
- Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a genetic disorder affecting retinal vascular development.
- Macular abnormalities, including lamellar macular holes, can occur in FEVR patients.
- Epiretinal proliferation associated with lamellar defects is a less common finding.

Detection of Black Holes
2.5K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.

Protein Families
16.7K
Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism. Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members. If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Gene Families
9.9K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Family Therapy
539
Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.
