Retinal Cases & Brief Reports
|November 24, 2020
Summary
This case study details bilateral sequential central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in a patient with hemoglobin C trait. It suggests hemoglobin C may contribute to retinal vascular occlusive disease.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Hematology
- Vascular Biology
Background:
- Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a significant cause of vision loss.
- Sickle cell retinopathy is a known complication of certain hemoglobinopathies.
- Hemoglobin C trait is less commonly associated with severe vascular complications.

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
142
The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...

Disorders of Erythrocytes
1.8K
Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
13.2K
Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
8.1K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...
