Non-neovascular macular degeneration is known as? accounts for? What is damaged?
dry macular degeneration, accounts for 80-90% of all. photoreceptor damage leads to vision loss.
Neovascular macular degeneration is known as? what is damaged?
wet, exudative. VEGF leads to leaky new vessels in choroid under macula. significant retinal damage with resultant visual loss.
AREDs study found that the conversion from?
dry to wet can be slowed by administration of:
vit c 500 mg
vit e 400 IU
beta carotene 15 mg
zinc 80 mg
copper 2 mg to offset zinc
AREDs2 study is evaluating the effects of?
lutein, zeaxanthin, omega 3 epa and dha.
cancer prevention study found that
beta carotene and smoking actually increases the risk of lung cancer.
Photodynamic therapy consists of what drug and how? What must the px be careful of following this?
Visudyne, IV infusion, preferentially abosorbed by the endo layer of cnvm, but is also absorbed into normal retinal vessels. Dye is then activated by 689 nm laser that causes the formation of a reactive oxygen species that damaged the cnvm endo that leads to the release of leukotrienes and eicosanoids causing thomus and vessel occlusion. All parts of the body must be protected from light for 5 days following the therapy.
Pegaptonib, Maengen does?
selectively binds and blocks action of iso form vegf165. has been shown to slow but not stop vision loss.

leukocytes are attracted by? and leve what to enter tissue?
attracted by chemotactic gradients and leave blood vessels to enter affected tissue.
What invades tissue and degrades ingested material? do they proliferate?
neutrophils. They do not proliferate in the tissue, they are delivered via the bloodstream. They carry out their function and then die.
types of chronic inflammation? What are giant cells?
1. non-granulomatous having lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages.
