Differential diagnosis of patients presenting with ocular and periorbital pain: a multidisciplinary approach
Journal Title: Офтальмологический журнал - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 5
Abstract
Ophthalmalgia (eye pain) is of interest to various fields of medicine, and may be due to ocular or extra-ocular causes. Common ocular causes include glaucoma, ocular inflammatory disease (like keratitis, skleritis or neuritis), and orbital disease. Notable extra-ocular causes include trigeminal neuralgia, headaches of various types, intracranial vascular lesions, and otolaryngological inflammatory disorders. The diagnosis and management of patients with ophthalmalgia requires a multidisciplinary approach with contributions from ophthalmology, neurology, neurosurgery, oto(rhino)neurology, as well as other specialties.

Use of photomyostimulation method in treatment of patients with advanced primary open angle glaucoma
Purpose: To assess the efficacy of a photomyostimulation method in treatment of patients with stage III (advanced) primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with drug-compensated intraocular pressure. Material and Methods: 18...
Criteria of severity for macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion: cohort heterogeneity and efficacy evaluation of threshold and subthreshold retinal laser photocoagulation depending on the macular edema severity criteria. Part II.
Background. Macular edema (ME) develops in 60-100% of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). ME becomes chronic with a decrease in visual acuity in 1/3-2/3 of patients with RVO-associated ME. The gold standard of ca...
Investigation of optical density of aqueous humor samples from patients with combined cataract and POAG and those with cataract only with the use of spectroscopy
Background: The importance of the subject is evidenced by the steadily increasing number of patients with primary-open angle glaucoma (POAG) and absence of a unified theory for the development of POAG. Purpose: To compa...
Bioelectric activity of the visual system in trichromats and color-blinds according to visual evoked potentials to achromatic and chromatic stimuli
Background. Psychophysical methods, the most known of which are polychromatic tables and spectral anomaloscope study, are used for diagnostics of color vision defects. However, all these methods are based on the subjecti...
Current antiseptics: a study on their antimicrobial activity and toxic effects on the corneal epithelium
ackground: Infectious agents can develop resistance to antibiotics, but antiseptics maintain their efficacy. It is still important to enhance our understanding of the effects of antiseptics on the macroorganism. Purpose...
