Filter by:This is a 3-year randomized, dose masked, three-arm controlled, pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal FA implants (0.59mg and 2.1mg), when compared to laser photocoagulation in the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema.
To Evaluate combined effect of vitrectomy and bevacizumab to stabilize retinal thickness and visual acuity in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema and their relation to renal disease.
A prospective multicenter study comparing patients with CRVO amd secondary macular edema treated with ranibizumab versus sham. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the two arms. 32 patients, 6 months follow up. There will be monthly visits with injection the first three months and subsequently new injection if present edema.
Posterior sub-tenon's injection of bevacizumab decreased diffuse diabetic macular edema
Treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion is more effective with combined therapy of bevacizumab and triamcinolone than bevacizumab alone.
Diabetic macular edema is a common complication of ocular diabetes mellitus and can cause blindness. Hypoxygenation of the retina stimulates tissue mediators, especially different subtypes of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is responsible for proliferation, extension and increased permeability of the vessels. The aim of our study was to examine the short-term effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin® 1.25 mg in 0.05 ml) and triamcinolone on visual acuity and central retinal thickness in patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSME).
The primary objective of this pilot study is to compare the functional and anatomic outcomes of chronic macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) treated with argon laser photocoagulation versus intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis®) injection versus a combination of both.
It has been shown, that subjects susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)are characterized by an abnormal increase of pulmonary artery pressure at rest in hypoxia and during exercise in normoxia. This abnormal rise of pulmonary artery pressure has also been observed in about 10 % of otherwise healthy subjects without prior altitude exposure. The aim of the study is to investigate the susceptibility to HAPE in unacclimatized subjects with abnormal increase of pulmonary artery pressure at rest in hypoxia and during exercise in normoxia after rapid ascent to high altitude (4559 m).
The investigators hypothesise that CPAP + pharmaceutical treatment, compared to pharmaceutical treatment alone, improves the respiratory and hemodynamic status of the patients before H2 after the inclusion time and decreases the rate of death and tracheal intubation during the first 48 hours.
Objective: To compare micropulse 810nm diode laser photocoagulation versus argon laser photocoagulation for treatment of diabetic macular edema. Micropulse laser technique will be determined by an initial clinical trial comparing single versus double density laser photocoagulation techniques for treatment of diabetic macular edema.The single density is based on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid photocoagulation technique and the double density increases the number of spots. Methods: Patients with diabetic macular edema will be assigned to receive either micropulse 810nm diode laser photocoagulation or argon laser photocoagulation therapy. First, in a smaller clinical trial, patients will be assigned to single or double density micropulse 810nm diode laser to determine best strategy for this therapy. Visual acuity, fundus photographs and fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography measurements , autofluorescence and mfERG were obtained at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months and 12 months.
