1. 1. On the necessity of screening and national registration of congenital cataracts

   Författare :Gunilla Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :congenital cataract; glaucoma; intraocular surgery; posterior capsular opacification PCO ; prevalence; visual acuity VA ; visual impairment; screening; newborn examination; blindness prevention; cost-utility analysis; quality- adjusted life year QALY ;

   Sammanfattning : Objectives: The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to improvements in the management of congenital cataract by defining the most efficient screening procedure, examining the magnitude of the morbidity rate, optimizing the timing of surgery by relating surgical outcome to age at intervention and severity of visual deprivation and furthermore by evaluating costs versus consequences of introducing the most efficient screening procedure found, on a national basis.Methods: Paper I: 72 children born between 1992 and 1998 in the Stockholm County Council region, Västra Götaland and Halland county, Linköping-Motala, Malmö, and Lund, who had surgery for congenital cataract before the age of one year were included in a retrospective study.

3. 2. Blinda barn och seende föräldrar i utveckling och kommunikation

   Författare :Agneta Thorén; Philip Hwang; Stockholms universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this descriptive, longitudinal study is to contribute to an understanding of parents’ influences on vital developmental processes in congenitally blind children. Without visual impressions verbal communication can have an important compensatory function, giving the child access to the external world and to social information that can not be obtained by other means.

4. 3. Outcome after surgery of congenital cataract

   Författare :Anna Lundvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Congenital cataract; cataract surgery; intraocular lens; infant; paediatric; rabbit; complication; glaucoma; after-cataract; posterior capsule opacification.;

   Sammanfattning : The visual outcome in infants undergoing surgery for bilateral congenital cataract has improved considerably because of improved surgical methods and the realisation that early detection, allowing early cataract extraction and immediate optical correction, can prevent otherwise irreversible deprivation amblyopia. The management of unilateral congenital cataract is still of the most difficult problems in paediatric ophtalmology. LÄS MER

5. 4. On visual impairment in Swedish children

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; Sweden; sociology; mortality; outcome; epidemiology; registration; childhood blindness; Visual impairment; children; Oftalmologi;

   Sammanfattning : Knowledge of the epidemiology of visual impairment in children forms one of the cornerstones in paediatric ophthalmology. To gain an overview of the situation in Sweden an epidemiological study was performed. Totally 2373 visually impaired children were found, giving an age-specific prevalence of 10,9/10 000. Childhood blindness (i. LÄS MER

7. 5. Hereditary dystrophy of the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium in a strain of Briard dogs : A clinical, morphological and electrophysiological study

   Författare :Anders Wrigstad; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : A congenital hereditary retinal dystrophy was found in a Swedish strain of Briard dogs. A test breeding scheme produced a total of 6 litters of Briard dogs and Briard/Beagle crosses. A recessive mode of inheritance with a varying expression was observed. LÄS MER
