OPHTHALMOLOGY: A STUDY RELATED EXCESS INTAKE OF RED MEAT WITH THE INCIDENCE OF DEGENERATION OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR OPHTHALMOLOGY

* * *

macular degeneration associated with age is a major cause of loss of central vision and blindness among older people. Not sufficiently known etiology, including its causes have been postulated, among others, diet and ultraviolet radiation.

*

A recently published study by researchers at the Centre for Eye Research Australia, University of Melbourne, seems to link the excess consumption of red meat with a higher incidence of this disease.

*

The authors conducted a study on a group of 6734 people aged 58-69 years between the years 1990-94 through records fundus fundus, meat consumption was analyzed by frequency of intake of meats as responses to a questionnaire-based food. In Seguiment the set (years 2000-2006) to determine the presence of 1680 cases of AMD (macular degeneration associated with age) start and 77 cases of advanced AMD.

*

The results show the association of the high consumption of red meat with the onset of AMD, regardless of whether the consumer was fresh or processed meat. No relationship was found between AMD and increased consumption of chicken meat.

*

abuse So red meat, consuming ten times a week red meat is associated with an increase around 47 percent, macular degeneration, "according to the report's author, Dr. Elaine Chong. Likewise, the researcher noted that people who ate sausages and salami suffered by the condition that who ate chicken.

*

These results suggest that the consumption of different types of meat differently affect AMD risk and the need for further studies and changes in dietary habits and lifestyle. The macula is the center of the retina and controls the vision to read, watch television and recognize faces.

CEUTA EYES: EYE FOR ELECTRONIC amblyopia treatment

* *

Until very recently the only existing treatment for amblyopia was the use of the patches and the appropriate optical correction, if needed.
*
OphthoCare Israeli company recently presented a novel treatment that does not require the use of patches, it has developed the first liquid crystal glasses, which work with an electronic shutter.
*
This goggle has been approved by the U.S. FDA for treatment of amblyopia in children, and is expected to revolutionize the treatment of this anomaly, which affects 5% of children, whose treatment is recommended to between 3 and 6 years.

* consists of a liquid crystal glasses that darken by patch, the electronic shutter is incorporated into the optical correction and is controlled by a preprogrammed microchip which is activated on the eye to small intervals. These sessions "close-open" exercise the lazy eye and force its use.

* Through the liquid crystal technology, generate an electronic curtain closing the shutter over the good eye and, therefore, requires the use of the weak eye. The closing takes place automatically and can last approximately 10 to 15 seconds, then opened for 10 or 15 seconds. The exercises of "open-close" will continue while the patient uses glasses, lazy eye strengthening and improving visual acuity and binocular vision exercising.
*
Although it has great advantages, the children reported that they felt very comfortable using the glasses, thus becoming a preferred alternative in terms of patches.

* Being a technology implementation, the major drawback for now is cost.

Several people have asked us information on eye development in conjunction with the campaign "PROTEGE MIVIDA" against abortion.

Although we have our personal opinion, given the medical nature of our blog, try to remain neutral, so that everyone must draw their conclusions.

Development EYE:

• 4 weeks (6-mm embryo. And 0.5 ozs.) Vesicles are already visible that will result in the eye.
• 5 weeks (embryo of 14 mm. Approx.): The eyes begin to take shape.
• 2 months (4-cm fetus. And 5 ozs.): The eyes are beginning to stand out, though not more than a few small holes in the skull. Can already be observed the formation of the eyelids, over the lens of the eyes, over the next few days, taken as ovalada.Los upper and lower eyelids are joined and closed, not open until the seventh month.
• 5 months (fetus of 25 cm. And 250 grams approx.) Appear eyebrows and eyelashes, starting to be covered with an incipient or hair lanugo.
• month 7 (fetus of 35 cm. And 1,200 ozs.) Opens and closes his eyes and the eyeballs are perfectly formed and ready to perform its functions. Perceives light as a faint reddish glow.
• 9 th month (45/50 cm fetus. And 2.500/3.200 ozs.): The training process is complete anatomical and visual device is fully developed, with the exception of the most important of the retina, which finishes its development late in the first year of the child.

In the newborn is characteristic of the Iris color, usually blue-gray to reach its final color after a few months.

What's The Hardest Hitting Bowling Ball?

melatonin might be a safe treatment for blepharitis and uveitis

Recent published studies by Sande et al in the American Journal of Pathology "seem to suggest that treatment melatonin may be useful in the treatment of uveitis.

Patients affected by this process often have red, swollen eye and visual impairment.

untreated, uveitis can lead to permanent vision loss. Thus, in U.S. Encompasses the 10-15% of the causes of blindness.

Its causes can be manifold, ranging from autoimmunity, ocular trauma, cancer, infection, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis ...

In many cases there is no fully effective treatment, and treatment with corticosteroids may lead to side effects such as glaucoma and cataracts.

The study findings show that melatonin, which regulates the sleep cycle can prevent ocular inflammation secondary to uveitis. It has been found that two factors that contribute to inflammation TNFa and NFKB, are reduced by treatment with melatonin. Tratamieno also reduces the accompanying clinical symptoms such as capillary dilation, eye redness, and cataracts, while helping to maintain the blood-ocular barrier.

Alone or in combination with corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory effects of melatonin can benefit patients with chronic uveitis and reducing the rate of complications secondary to treatment with corticosteroids, but are to establish the exact mechanisms by which melatonin help to reduce eye inflammation, which should be subject of further studies.
