Retinal Vessel Oxygen Saturation in Healthy Individuals

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Retinal arteriolar oxygen saturation is stable in healthy individuals, while there is a significant decrease in venular oxygen saturation with age in males and a similar trend in females, and AV difference increases significantly with age for both sexes.

Retinal oxygen: from animals to humans

TL;DR: Measurements made with two of the principal methods used to study O2 in the retina are discussed, focusing on measurements of PO2 with oxygen-sensitive microelectrodes in vivo in animals with a retinal circulation similar to that of humans, and oximetry, which can be used non-invasively in both animals and humans to measure O2 concentration in retinal vessels.

The oxygen saturation in retinal vessels from diabetic patients depends on the severity and type of vision‐threatening retinopathy

TL;DR: Using retinal oximetry, it has been shown that the oxygen saturation is increased in retinal arterioles and venules from diabetic patients with Retinopathy, but oxygenation before the development of retinopathy and possible differences inretinal oxygenation between diabetic maculopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathic patients have not been evaluated.

Ocular blood flow in glaucoma - the Leuven Eye Study.

TL;DR: This study would likely help to identify which of these vascular data can be used as a clinical tool for screening and disease stratification in patients with elevated intra‐ocular pressure.

Oximetry in glaucoma: correlation of metabolic change with structural and functional damage.

TL;DR: The objective is to determine whether retinal vessel oxygen saturation in patients with glaucoma is associated with structural optic disc and retinal nerve fibre layer changes and visual field defects.

Oxygen imaging of living cells and tissues using luminescent molecular probes

TL;DR: Current knowledge regarding the mechanism of phosphorescence quenching of metal complexes by oxygen is described in relation to the oxygen sensitivity of the probes, and recent advances in optical oxygen probes and detection techniques for intracellular and tissue oxygen measurements are reviewed, emphasizing the usefulness of chemical modifications for improving probe properties.

Relationships between age, blood pressure, and retinal vessel diameters in an older population.

TL;DR: Retinal arteriolar and venular diameters narrow with increasing age, and these parameters are inversely related to BP, independent of age, gender, and smoking.

Snapshot hyperspectral imaging in ophthalmology

TL;DR: A snapshot imaging spectrometer with far-reaching applicability that acquires a complete spatial-spectral image cube in approximately 3 ms from 450 to 700 nm with 50 bands, eliminating motion artifacts and pixel misregistration is presented.

Oximetry of retinal vessels by dual-wavelength imaging: calibration and influence of pigmentation

TL;DR: This technique, when combined with blood flow studies in human subjects, will enable the study of retinal O2 utilization under experimental and various disease conditions.
