Uusitalo H, Egorov E, Kaarniranta K, Astakhov Y, Ropo A.
PMID: 27041987
Clin Ophthalmol. 2016 Mar 15;10:445-54. doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S91402. eCollection 2016.

INTRODUCTION: Glaucoma patients frequently exhibit ocular surface side effects during treatment with prostaglandin eye drops. The present work investigated whether glaucoma patients suffering from signs and symptoms of ocular surface disease while using preserved latanoprost eye drops benefited from...

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy as treatment for lower lacrimal pathway obstructions in adults: Review article.

Allergy & rhinology (Providence, R.I.)

Penttilä E, Smirnov G, Tuomilehto H, Kaarniranta K, Seppä J.
PMID: 25860166
Allergy Rhinol (Providence). 2015 Jan;6(1):12-9. doi: 10.2500/ar.2015.6.0116.

Obstruction of the lacrimal pathway is manifested by epiphora, infection, and blurred vision as well as ocular and facial pain. Conservative treatments only achieve temporary relief of symptoms, thus surgery is the treatment of choice. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is recognized...

Changes in neurophysiologic markers of visual processing following beneficial anti-VEGF treatment in macular degeneration.

Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.)

Vottonen P, Kaarniranta K, Pääkkönen A, Tarkka IM.
PMID: 23467427
Clin Ophthalmol. 2013;7:437-42. doi: 10.2147/OPTH.S40427. Epub 2013 Feb 27.

PURPOSE: Antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents have been shown to improve visual acuity and prevent vision loss in exudative age-related macular degeneration. As the vision improves relatively quickly in response to intravitreal injections, we wanted to know whether...

Inflammation is a crucial component in the pathogenesis of many vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. Inflammasomes are intracellular signalling complexes whose activation promotes inflammation. Nucleotide-binding domain and Leucine-rich repeat Receptor containing a Pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) is...

Nutrients. 2021 Dec 14;13(12). doi: 10.3390/nu13124452.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes, and retinal microaneurysms (MA) are one of the first detected abnormalities associated with DR. We recently showed elevated serum triglyceride levels to be associated with the development of...

Inhibition of prolyl oligopeptidase: A promising pathway to prevent the progression of age-related macular degeneration.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie

Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a currently untreatable vision threatening disease. Impaired proteasomal clearance and autophagy in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and subsequent photoreceptor damage are connected with dry AMD, but detailed pathophysiology is still unclear. In...
