Retinal thickness in adults with Down's syndrome: Relationship with age, cognition and dementia
… experience changes in patients with AD, such as retinal thinning, compared to age-matched controls. As an extension of the brain, the retina can be quickly and non-invasively imaged and may provide a proxy measure of brain changes in AD. Using optical coherence tomography (OCT), cross-sectional …

Relationships between subtle ocular changes and microvascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes
… develop analytical methods of quantifying retinal and choroidal biomarkers of structure and/or function, including novel biomarkers such as choroid thickness, choriocapillaris perfusion, and retinal capillary perfusion, to ensure collection of high-quality data for aims 1) and 2). Methods: …

Investigation of novel biomarkers associated with renal disease
… a body of work examining associations between retinal biomarkers (retinal microvascular parameters [RVP] and retinal layer thickness measurements) and measures of renal function and damage (estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio). Retinal biomarkers have …

Understanding the genetics and function of complex human retinal phenotypes
… of the retina from which measures describing retinal morphology can be extracted. This thesis summarises my research into the genetic variation underlying retinal morphology. Firstly, I explored the morphology of the inner retina, whose thickness is used as a biomarker of glaucoma, using …

Korrelation von Netzhautdicke und Gesichtsfeld bei Normalprobanden und bei diabetischem Makulaödem
… entwickelt. Eines dieser Verfahren ist der Retinal Thickness Analyzer (RTA), der sowohl detaillierten Karten der Netzhautdicke am hinteren Pol als auch eine Topographie des Sehnervenkopfes, der Papille liefert. Damit ist prinzipiell eine Früherkennung sowohl diabetischer als auch …

Multifocal pupillographic objective perimetry in age-related maculopathy
… 1999; Klein et al., 2007). Recent advances in retinal imaging have improved the detection of pathology, allowing for timely diagnosis, identification of prognostic factors and the monitoring of therapy to be made. However, the newer imaging modalities fail to provide information on retinal …

Exploring retinal changes in Dementia and Multiple Sclerosis
Diagnosis and monitoring progression of neurodegenerative diseases relies on the assessment of clinical symptoms such as cognitive impairment in Alzheimer`s disease (AD) and disability in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Detection of molecular and morphological hallmarks in the brain or spinal cord is …
