Summary
The USA leads global uveitis research, with significant contributions from Asian nations. Emerging trends include biologics, COVID-19, and OCTA in uveitis studies.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Immunology
Background:
- Uveitis research has seen significant global activity over the past decade.
- Understanding the landscape of uveitis research is crucial for identifying key players and emerging trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze global uveitis research output from the last decade.
- To identify leading countries, institutions, researchers, journals, and trending topics in uveitis.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional bibliometric analysis was performed.
- 10,656 English-language uveitis publications were analyzed.
Main Results:
- The USA led in publications (3007), followed by Asian countries like China and India.
- University College London was the most productive institution, and Professor Yang's group the most productive research team.
- Key topics included biologics, COVID-19, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), with *Ocular Immunology and Inflammation* as the leading journal.
Conclusions:
- The USA is the dominant force in uveitis research.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
674
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...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
516
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.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
606
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...

01:11Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
13.8K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

01:26Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management
15
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...

01:08Prevalence and Incidence
682
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...
