Journal ArticleDOI
Blue Light Induces Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Free Radical Production in Epithelial Cells
Bernard F. Godley,Farrukh A. Shamsi,Fong-Qi Liang,Stuart G. Jarrett,Sallyanne Davies,Michael E. Boulton +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that visible light can cause cell dysfunction through the action of reactive oxygen species on DNA and that this may contribute to cellular aging, age-related pathologies, and tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocytotoxicity of lipofuscin in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Sallyanne Davies,Michael H. Elliott,Eric Floor,T. George Truscott,Mariusz Zareba,Tadeusz Sarna,Farrukh A. Shamsi,Michael E. Boulton +7 more
TL;DR: Exposure of lipofuscin-fed cells to short wavelength visible light caused lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, loss of lysosomal integrity, cytoplasmic vacuolation, and membrane blebbing culminating in cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of treated orbital cellulitis in a tertiary eye care center in the middle East
Imtiaz A. Chaudhry,Farrukh A. Shamsi,Elsanusi Elzaridi,Waleed Al-Rashed,Abdulrahman Al-Amri,Fahad Al-Anezi,Yonca Ozkan Arat,David E. E. Holck +7 more
TL;DR: Untreated sinusitis and prior history of orbital trauma were the 2 major causes of orbital cellulitis in patients referred to a tertiary care eye center in the Middle East.
Journal Article
Inhibition of RPE lysosomal and antioxidant activity by the age pigment lipofuscin.
TL;DR: Lipofuscin has the capacity to reduce the efficacy of the lysosomal and antioxidant systems in RPE cells that may play an important role in retinal ageing and the development of age-related macular degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and visual outcome of endophthalmitis associated with intraocular foreign bodies.
Imtiaz A. Chaudhry,Farrukh A. Shamsi,Essam Al-Harthi,Abdulwahab Al-Theeb,Elsanusi Elzaridi,Fenwick C. Riley +5 more
TL;DR: Delayed removal of IOFB following trauma may result in a significant increase in the development of clinical endophthalmitis and other risk factors for poor visual outcome may include poor initial presenting VA, posterior location of IFOB and no vitrectomy at the time ofIOFB removal.
