Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

961
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

748
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

887
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Pericarditis I: Introduction01:22

Pericarditis I: Introduction

41
Pericarditis is defined as the inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. This condition can cause significant chest pain and other symptoms, often necessitating medical intervention. The pericardium has two layers: the inner visceral layer and the outer parietal layer, separated by a small amount of fluid that reduces friction during heartbeats.Types of PericarditisPericarditis can be classified into several types based on the duration and nature of the...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.4K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

35
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Behçet's disease is a rare, multi-systemic autoimmune disorder.
  • Uveitis is one of the most frequent and severe manifestations of Behçet's disease.
  • The prevalence of Behçet's disease is notable in populations from former Soviet republics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive literature review on Behçet's disease.
  • To specifically address the manifestation of uveitis in Behçet's disease.
  • To highlight the condition's occurrence in the context of former Soviet republics.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search was conducted.
  • Relevant studies on Behçet's disease and uveitis were identified and analyzed.
  • Data synthesis focused on epidemiology, clinical features, and management.

Main Results:

  • Behçet's disease presents with diverse systemic symptoms.
  • Ocular involvement, specifically uveitis, significantly impacts patient morbidity.
  • Epidemiological data indicate a higher prevalence in specific geographic regions, including former Soviet republics.
