What Causes Facial Nerve Palsy?
Discussion Facial nerve palsy has been known for centuries, but in 1821 unilateral facial nerve paralysis was described by Sir Charles Bell. Bell’s palsy (BP) is a unilateral, acute facial paralysis that is clinically diagnosed after other etiologies have been excluded by appropriate history, physical examination and/or laboratory testing or imaging. Symptoms include abnormal movement of facial nerve. It can be associated with changes in facial sensation, hearing, taste or excessive tearing. The right and left sides are equally affected but bilateral BP is rare (0.3%). Paralysis can be complete or incomplete at prese...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Neuro-Ophthalmology
Conclusions: OSA is associated with many diseases seen in neuro-ophthalmology clinics. More studies are required to assess the real ability of CPAP to reverse pathological changes. Ophthalmologists can screen for undiagnosed OSA in patients presenting with certain eye diseases.

Incorporation of Retinal Arteriolosclerosis into Risk Stratification of Blood Pressure Category According to the 2017 ACC/AHA Blood Pressure Guideline
CONCLUSION: Incorporation of the assessment for RA may facilitate the CVD risk stratification of people classified based on the 2017 ACC/AHA BP guideline, particularly for those categorized in stage 1 hypertension.PMID:34866070 | DOI:10.5551/jat.63262

Retinal parameters, cortical cerebral microinfarcts and their interaction with cognitive impairment
Conclusions: Retinal vascular and neuronal parameters are associated with cortical CMIs and persons with both pathologies are likely to have cognitive impairment. Further studies may be warranted to evaluate the clinical utility of retinal parameters and CMI in risk prediction for cognitive dysfunction.Data access statement: The data that support the findings of this study is available from the corresponding author upon request.PMID:35450485 | DOI:10.1177/17474930221097737

Loss of the heterogeneous expression of flippase ATP11B leads to cerebral small vessel disease in a normotensive rat model
AbstractCerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is the leading cause of vascular dementia, causes a quarter of strokes, and worsens stroke outcomes. The disease is characterised by patchy cerebral small vessel and white matter pathology, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This microvascular and tissue damage has been classically considered secondary to extrinsic factors, such as hypertension, but this fails to explain the patchy nature of the disease, the link to endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction even when hypertension is absent, and the increasing evidence of high heritability to SVD-related brain damage. We...

Sleep disordered breathing has minimal association with retinal microvascular diameters in a non-diabetic sleep clinic cohort
ConclusionNo major SDB associations with CRAE or CRVE were identified, although the RFM/CPAP intervention reduced evening CRVE for severe OSA patients. Implications for cerebro-vascular disease risk remain uncertain. Trial registrationThe protocol was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (Trial Id: ACTRN12620000694910).

Prothrombotic Fibrin Clot Phenotype in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism: A New Risk Factor for Recurrence.
Abstract Prothrombotic fibrin clot phenotype, involving faster formation of dense meshwork composed of thinner and highly branched fibers that are relatively resistant to plasmin-induced lysis, has been reported in patients with not only myocardial infarction or stroke, but also venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and/or pulmonary embolism (PE). Prothrombotic fibrin clot phenotype, in particular prolonged clot lysis time, is considered a novel risk factor for VTE as well as venous thrombosis at unusual location, for example, cerebral sinus venous thrombosis, retinal vein obstruct...

The association between bouted and non-bouted physical activity on retinopathy prevalence.
CONCLUSION: In this nationally representative sample of adults, those who engaged in non-bouted physical activity had reduced odds of a diagnosis of moderate-to-severe retinopathy. PMID: 28818533 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mystery of Retinal Vein Occlusion: Vasoactivity of the Vein and Possible Involvement of Endothelin-1.
Abstract Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common vascular disease of retina; however, the pathomechanism leading to RVO is not yet clear. In general, increasing age, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disorder, and cerebral stroke are systemic risk factors of RVO. However, RVO often occur in the unilateral eye and sometimes develop in young subjects who have no arteriosclerosis. In addition, RVO show different variations on the degrees of severity; some RVO are resolved without any treatment and others develop vision-threatening complications such as macular edema, com...

Epidemiology of a Rare Event
Retinal emboli are rare, with a prevalence in most of the relatively few studies on the subject, to my knowledge, of approximately 1 in 100 adults and an even smaller annual incidence. The study by Cheung et al in the present issue ofJAMA Ophthalmology involves the multiethnic population of Singapore and found that retinal emboli were present in only 88 of 9978 individuals who had retinal photographs (0.9%). This randomly selected sample of adults aged 40 to 80 years comprised, in almost equal numbers, of members of the 3 major ethnic groups residing in Singapore: Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Cheung et al provided data rele...

Dietary patterns and retinal vessel caliber in the Irish Nun Eye Study
ConclusionIn this cohort of older women with a restricted lifestyle, an unhealthy DP was independently associated with an unfavorable retinal profile, namely a widening of retinal venules and narrowing of retinal arterioles. Key words: Dietary
