Diffuse glaucomatous structural and functional damage in the hemifield without significant pattern loss.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal sensitivity in the normal visual hemifield of glaucomatous eyes with localized visual field loss with those of normal eyes and eyes with suspected glaucoma, and to ... Read more...

Intraepidermal nerve fiber density and its application in sarcoidosis.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) is considered a good diagnostic tool for small fiber neuropathy (SFN). OBJECTIVES: To assess stratified normative values for IENFD and determine the reliability and validity of IENFD in ... Read more...

Effect of the free radical scavenger edaravone on peripheral nerve ischemia-reperfusion injury.

29 Sep 2009 We investigated the effects of edaravone, a free radical scavenger, on peripheral nerve ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by ligation of vessels supplying the sciatic and tibial nerves in rats. The control group was administered a placebo, the ... Read more...
