Objectives: The objectives were to compare two different sedative combinations, xylazine–ketamine and dexmedetomidine–ketamine, for the short electroretinography (ERG) protocol and their impact on sedative effect, reversal ...

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is responsible for a large proportion of neonatal deaths and numerous neurological sequelae, including visual dysfunction and blindness. In PA, the retina is exposed to ischemia/reoxygenation, which ...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess visual alterations in a population of Argentine patients treated with the antiepileptic drug vigabatrin. Methods: Twenty patients receiving vigabatrin and 15 patients ...

Light-induced damage is a widely used model to study retinal degeneration. We examined whether bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) protects the retina against light-induced injury. One day before intense light exposure for ...

Enriched environment (EE) protects the retina from adult rats against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, how the components of EE contribute to the recovery after retinal ischemic damage remains unclear. We analyzed ...

Retinal ischemia could provoke blindness and there is no effective treatment against retinal ischemic damage. Brief intermittent ischemia applied during the onset of reperfusion (i.e., postconditioning) protects the retina ...

Retinal ischemia is a condition associated with several degenerative diseases leading to visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Currently, there is no highly effective therapy for ischemic retinopathies. This study was ...

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) can cause retinopathy and different degrees of visual loss, including total blindness. In a rat model of PA, we have previously shown a protective effect of hypothermia on the retina when applied ...
