Intravitreal triamcinolone for uveitic cystoid macular edema: an optical coherence tomography study.

TLDR
Complete anatomic and, to some extent, functional recovery can be induced by intravitreal TA despite long-term refractory inflammatory CME, and optical coherence tomography aids in the management of these cases.

Optical Coherence Tomography of the Human Retina

TL;DR: In this article, optical coherence tomography is used for high-resolution, noninvasive imaging of the human retina, including the macula and optic nerve head in normal human subjects.

Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone for diffuse diabetic macular edema.

TL;DR: Intravitreal injection of 25 mg of triamcinolone acetonide may be beneficial for improving visual acuity in patients with clinically significant diffuse diabetic macular edema.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraocular concentration and pharmacokinetics of triamcinolone acetonide after a single intravitreal injection

TL;DR: Because triamcinolone pharmacokinetics were characterized only in elderly patients with macular edema, the results cannot be extrapolated to other patient populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetic macular edema: pathogenesis and treatment.

TL;DR: It seems that combined pharmacologic and surgical therapy may be the best approach for the management of macular edema in diabetic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for diabetic diffuse macular edema: preliminary results of a prospective controlled trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of triamcinolone acetonide for refractory diffuse diabetic macular edema and showed that it effectively reduces macular thickness.

Optical coherence tomography

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging.

Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has developed rapidly since its first realisation in medicine and is currently an emerging technology in the diagnosis of skin disease as mentioned in this paper, where OCT is an interferometric technique that detects reflected and backscattered light from tissue.

A randomized, controlled trial of methylprednisolone or naloxone in the treatment of acute spinal-cord injury. Results of the Second National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone and naloxone in a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute spinal-cord injury, 95 percent of whom were treated within 14 hours of injury.
Journal Article

The Second National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study.

TL;DR: The study strongly suggests that methylprednisolone has significant beneficial effects in human spinal cord injury, that these effects occur only when the drug is given within 8 hr, and that it helps even in patients with severe spinal cord injuries.
