The Standard Care vs Corticosteroid for Retinal Vein Occlusion (SCORE) study system for evaluation of optical coherence tomograms: SCORE study report 4.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe grading procedures for optical coherence tomographic (OCT) images of participants in the Standard Care vs Corticosteroid for Retinal Vein Occlusion (SCORE) Study. METHODS: Optical coherence tomograms were taken at clinical ... Read more...

A model for 532-nanometer pulsed potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser-induced injury in the rat larynx.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser is emerging as a potentially effective treatment for various vocal fold pathologies. To date, the precise mechanism(s) of action of this wavelength on the layered microarchitecture ... Read more...

Retinal vasculopathy in Fanconi anemia.

30 Aug 2009 The authors present a case of Fanconi anemia with bilateral rapid onset retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage. The patient developed branch retinal vein occlusion in the left eye complicated by vitreous hemorrhage and was treated ... Read more...
