概括

患有巨细胞动脉炎 (GCA) 和高C反应蛋白 (CRP) 的老年男性可能面临较高的前面缺血性视神经病变 (AION) 风险. 血管超声波光环得分在AION患者中也显著更高.

科学领域:

类风湿病学类风湿病学
眼科医生眼科眼科
血管医学血管医学

背景情况:

巨细胞动脉炎 (GCA) 是最常见的血管炎,经常导致通过前面缺血性视神经病变 (AION) 失明.
鉴定患有高风险AION的GCA患者仍然是一个临床挑战.

研究的目的:

为了比较具有和没有AION的GCA患者之间的人口统计学,临床,实验室和成像发现.
在GCA患者中确定AION的预测因子.

主要方法:

对由风湿病学家诊断并符合分类标准的GCA患者的回顾性图表审查.
在AION和非AION组之间比较人口统计数据,病史,实验室结果和血管超声波发现.
使用Pearson Chi-square,Fisher的精确测试和t测试进行统计分析.

主要成果:

与非AION组 (91名患者) 相比,AION组 (15名患者) 的男性数量显著增加,且C反应蛋白 (CRP) 水平较高.
高血压,吸烟,红细胞沉积率 (ESR) 和GCA分类得分的比率在各组之间相似.
血管超声波显示,AION组 (平均5) 与非AION组 (平均3) 的光环得分较高,表明血管炎症更明显.

结论:

年龄较大,男性性别,CRP升高和血管超声波光环得分较高与GCA患者AION风险增加有关.
这项研究强调了血管超声波在评估GCA中的AION风险方面的实用性.
研究结果表明,男性GCA患者,特别是CRP升高和光环分数高的老年人,需要对AION进行更密切的监测.

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

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: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

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: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

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...

Anatomy of the Eyeball

Anatomy of the Eyeball

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...
