    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of PGF2α-l-isopropylester, some neuropeptides, and pharmacological agents on aqueous humor dynamics and intraocular pressure (IOP) in vivo and on adenylate cyclase activity in the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium (NPE) in vitro.Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) caused a dose-dependent increase in cAMP formation, indicating that the NPE contains receptors for PACAP and VIP coupled to adenylate cyclase activation.

  2. 12. Malpositioned and dislocated intraocular lenses : management, complications and surgical repositioning

    Författare :Laura Armonaite; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cataract surgery (exchange of the non-transparent crystalline lens with an IOL) is the most frequent surgery in Sweden, accounting for more than 130000 surgeries per year. Therefore, complications associated with cataract surgery affect a significant number of patients. LÄS MER

  3. 13. Glaucoma Characteristics and Risk Factors - Results from Malmö Eye Survey

    Författare :Kirsti Grødum; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular disease; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi; myopia; optic disc hemorrhages; mortality; refraction; glaucoma; population screening;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on data from a large glaucoma screening, comprising 32, 918 elderly citizens of Malmö and data from retrospective analysis of glaucoma patients’ charts from the Eye Department of Malmö University Hospital. The definition of glaucoma was based on reproducible visual field defects and/or glaucomatous optic nerve head damage in both groups. LÄS MER

  4. 14. On Complications to Cataract Surgery

    Författare :Gunnar Jakobsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cataract surgery; pseudophakia; capsular rupture; retinal detachment; IOL dislocation; glaucoma; vitreous; immune mediators; immunoassay; cytokines;

    Sammanfattning : Cataract surgery, meaning exchange of the opaque lens in the eye with an artificial lens, is nowadays one of the most successful surgical procedures ever known. It is also the most frequent surgery performed in the Western world. In Sweden alone, more than 100,000 cataract operations are performed annually. LÄS MER

  5. 15. Long-term results of phakic refractive lenses (PRL) for correction of myopia and hyperopia

    Författare :Annemari Koivula; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The phakic refractive lens (PRL) is a silicone lens implanted into the posterior chamber to correct myopia and hyperopia. At the beginning of 2002, when the PRL was introduced at St. LÄS MER
