Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of optic nerve diffusion status on cranio-orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting visual prognosis in cases of methanol intoxication. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) from 16 eyes of eight patients who were admitted to our clinic due to methanol intoxication was analysed retrospectively. The relationship between clinical and laboratory findings, treatment regimen, visual prognosis, and imaging findings was investigated. Diffusion restriction (DR) of the optic nerve on DWI was observed in seven (43%) eyes. Regardless of the clinical and laboratory characteristics and treatment regimen, visual acuity (VA) improved in eyes in which restricted diffusion regressed over the follow-up period. DWI of the optic nerve during the acute phase of methanol poisoning may provide prognostically important data. Improvement of DR during follow-up may be an indicator of an increase in VA.

Quantification of Normative Human Choriocapillaris Measures Across the Macula.

Purpose: To assess macular choriocapillaris (CC) metrics in healthy volunteers (HVs) without ocular disease and demonstrate CC variations in patients with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) using adaptive optics optical coherence tomography angiography (AO-OCTA).
Methods: Twenty-one HVs and three IRD patients were imaged. Macular variation in 20 HVs in CC metrics (CC density, CC diameter, CC tortuosity, void diameter, void area, lobule count, lobule area, and RPE-CC distance) were assessed by imaging a 28° strip of overlapping AO-OCTA volumes (3° × 3°) from the optic nerve head to the temporal macula.
Semaglutide and Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: A Systematic Review.

This systematic review examines the potential association between semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, and the development of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Nine studies were included, consisting of retrospective cohort analyses, case series, and pharmacovigilance reports. Findings across the literature were inconsistent, with some studies reporting an increased risk while others found no significant association.

Background Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can be reliably detected at the bedside using the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). The functional outcome in stroke patients can be predicted with the use of acute-phase ONSD dynamics. Objectives To determine the predictive accuracy of ONSD on days 0, one, and three for the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients presented to emergency medicine as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.

ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and headache) syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by variants in alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) resulting in downstream pro-inflammatory signaling mediated by the TIFA/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway. Here, we report the design of an ALPK1 inhibitor, DF-003, with pharmacokinetic properties suitable for daily oral dosing. In biochemical assays, DF-003 potently inhibits human ALPK1 (IC = 1.

Purpose: During endoscopic endonasal access to small intraconal masses deep in the orbital apex, a line of fusion between inferior and medial recti is encountered distal to the termination of the common tendinous ring. The intraoperatively viewed length of this segment has not been quantified. To assist clinical recognition of this structure, our study quantifies its length and proposes the standardized nomenclature term of inferomedial extraocular muscle raphe (IM-EOMR).
