Comparison of Smartphone Ophthalmoscopy With Slit-Lamp Biomicroscopy for Grading Diabetic Retinopathy
TL;DR: Smartphone ophthalmoscopy showed considerable agreement with dilated retinal biomicroscopy for the grading of DR, suggesting that the portability, affordability, and connectivity of a smartphone Ophthalmoscope make it a promising technique for community screening programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aflibercept in wet AMD: specific role and optimal use
Francesco Semeraro,Francesco Morescalchi,Sarah Duse,Francesco Parmeggiani,Elena Gambicorti,Ciro Costagliola +5 more
TL;DR: The clinical equivalence of this compound against ranibizumab is maintained even when the injections are administered at 8-week intervals, which indicates the potential to reduce the risk of monthly intravitreal injections and the burden of monthly monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetic retinopathy, a vascular and inflammatory disease: Therapeutic implications
Francesco Semeraro,Francesco Morescalchi,Anna Cancarini,Andrea Russo,Sara Rezzola,Ciro Costagliola +5 more
TL;DR: Anti-inflammatory compounds such as intravitreal glucocorticoids, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antioxidants, inflammatory molecule inhibitors, renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and natural anti- inflammatory therapies may all be considered to reduce the rate of administration of antineovascularization agents in the treatment of DR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy after eye injuries: an overexpression of growth factors and cytokines leading to a retinal keloid.
Francesco Morescalchi,Sarah Duse,Elena Gambicorti,Mario R. Romano,Ciro Costagliola,Francesco Semeraro +5 more
TL;DR: The current literature and clinical trial data on the pathogenesis of PVR and its correlation with ocular trauma are reviewed and the biochemical/molecular events that will be fundamental for the development of novel treatment strategies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Device to Exploit the Smartphone Camera for Fundus Photography
TL;DR: The cross-polarization technique adopted in the optical design dramatically diminished corneal Purkinje reflections, making it possible to screen patients even through undilated pupils, and potentially eliminating problems of poor exam skills and inexperienced observer bias.
