概括
针对神经血管与年龄相关的黄斑变性 (AMD) 的抗血管内皮生长因子 (anti-VEGF) 治疗与未经治疗的同眼相比,在治疗的眼睛中没有显著改变胸膜厚度 (CT). 反VEGF注射的数量也与CT的变化没有相关性.
科学领域:
- 眼科医生 眼科 眼科
- 视网膜疾病 视网膜疾病
- 医疗治疗 医疗治疗
背景情况:
- 内抗血管内皮生长因子 (anti-VEGF) 是排泄性新血管与年龄相关的黄斑变性 (AMD) 的主要治疗方法.
- 在两年内,大约25%接受抗VEGF治疗的新血管AMD患者可能会出现黄斑缩,这可能与治疗有关.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究抗VEGF治疗对单侧新血管AMD患者的胸腔厚度 (CT) 的影响.
- 探索长期治疗新血管性AMD患者的抗VEGF注射数量和CT之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及112名患有单边新血管AMD的患者的横截面研究,使用同眼作为对照.
- 带有增强深度成像 (EDI) 的光谱域光学连贯性断层扫描 (SD-OCT) 用于在五个不同的位置测量CT.
- 统计分析包括配对的t测试和多重线性回归来评估CT差异和影响因素,包括地理缩 (GA).
主要成果:
- 在新血管 (NV) 和非新血管 (NNV) 眼睛之间没有观察到 subfoveal choroidal 厚度 (SFCT) 的统计学上显著差异,NV 眼睛的CT 较薄的初始趋势是不显著的.
- 年龄是SFCT的唯一显著预测因素;抗VEGF注射的数量与CT无关.
- 与非GA眼相比,同眼中的地理缩 (GA) 存在并没有显著影响SFCT.
结论:
- 这项研究发现,用抗VEGF治疗的新血管性AMD眼睛与未经治疗的眼睛之间,胸膜厚度没有统计学上显著的差异.
- 抗VEGF注射的累积数量与胸膜厚度的变化之间没有可证明的关系.
- 这些发现表明,通过抗VEGF注射的次要冠状腺稀释诱导缩可能在长期新血管AMD管理中具有有限的临床关注.

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
1.1K
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.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.7K
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...
