In the last two decades evidence has gradually accumulated suggesting that the eye may be
a unique window for cardiovascular risk stratification based on the assessment of subclinical …

We review the cellular and physiological mechanisms responsible for the regulation of blood
flow in the retina and choroid in health and disease. Due to the intrinsic light sensitivity of the …

Данное, второе, издание книги значительно переработано с учетом современных
представлений о патогенезе, диагностике и лечении глаукомы. В книге рассмотрены …

Optimal retinal neuronal cell function requires an appropriate, tightly regulated environment,
provided by cellular barriers, which separate functional compartments, maintain their …

Imaging and histopathological studies have demonstrated that structural changes of the
retina affect subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The …

The retina and optic nerve are both optically accessible parts of the central nervous system.
They represent, therefore, highly valuable tissues for studies of the intrinsic physiological …

Neurovascular coupling can be directly assessed by retinal vessel response to flickering
light using optical imaging methods. The response is altered in a number of ocular and …

Neurovascular coupling, also termed functional hyperemia, is one of the physiological key
mechanisms to adjust blood flow in a neural tissue in response to functional activity. In the …

Rationale: Patients with end-stage renal disease are characterized by increased
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality because of advanced remodeling of the …

Disturbances in the retinal vascular supply are involved in the pathophysiology of the most
frequent diseases causing visual impairment and blindness in the Western World. These …
