Reproducibility was substantial for the grading of retinal hemorrhages and microaneurysms (e.g., κ=0.80 to 0.99) and fair to moderate for the grading of arteriovenous nicking and focal arteriolar ...

THE hypertension seen in all reported cases of primary aldosteronism caused by an adrenal adenoma has been of a benign and not rapidly progressive nature.1 On the other hand, an increased secretion ...

Journal Scan is the clinician's guide to the latest clinical research findings in the Archives of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology, and other important journals of interest in ophthalmology. Short ...

At the baseline examination, the overall prevalence of retinal signs was 7.1 percent (92 of 1,294) for retinopathy, 7.5 percent (85 of 1,135) for arteriovenous nicking (constriction of a vein in ...

The most common sign of hypertensive retinopathy (excluding generalized arteriolar narrowing) was focal arteriolar narrowing (22.3%), arteriovenous nicking (17.5%), and other retinopathy signs (5. ...

The arteriovenous ratio (AVR) was computed as the quotient of CRAE over CRVE. 31 We also assessed the presence of focal arteriolar narrowing, arteriovenous nicking and enhanced arteriolar wall ...

NEW YORK — Optometrists should check patients’ blood pressure and evaluate the retina for signs of systemic hypertension, Sherrol A. Reynolds, OD, FAAO, says in this video from Vision Expo East.

Retinopathy is an independent predictor of congestive heart failure, even in people without existing coronary heart disease, diabetes or hypertension, a large, population-based study found. In an ...

People with abnormal retinal microvasculature -- including arteriovenous nicking, focal arteriolar narrowing, retinal micro-aneurysms, and retinal hemorrhage -- had a higher cumulative incidence ...

“We found that deletion of EphB4 causes so-called arteriovenous crossings, a retinal vascular pathology found in human patients where an artery lies on top of the vein,“ Pitulescu says. This can lead ...

AV nicking was defined as a decrease in venular width on both sides of the venule where crossed by an arteriole and was graded as absent/questionable, mild (less than the standard), or severe ...
