PURPOSE: the authors make a review of published articles about the growth factors that promote and downregulate retinal vascularization. MATERIAL AND METHODS: the authors have made a search of publishe articles on Medline and Pubmed since Janu ary 2000 in English, Portuguese and Spanis using these keywords: prematurity, retino pathy, oxigenotherapy, neovascularizatio growth factor.

Resumo
INTRODUÇÃO: A retinopatia do prematuro continua a ter especial atenção dada a morbilidade que apresenta a longo prazo e também a quantidade de recém-nascidos cada vez mais prematuros que os avanços científicos conseguem fazer sobreviver. Hoje em dia além do controlo da oxigenoterapia e laserterapia começam a querer-se incluir novos tratamentos usando os próprios factores promotores da normal vascularização retiniana. OBJECTIVO: fazer uma breve revisão do que foi publicado sobre os vários factores promotores e inibidores da vascularização. MÉTODOS: Foi efectuada uma pesquisa de artigos publicados na base de dados Medline/Pubmed desde Janeiro de 2000, em língua inglesa, portuguesa ou espanhola, usando as palavras chave: prematurity, retinopathy, oxigenotherapy, neovascularization, growth factor. Foi também realizada pesquisa manual em livros de Oftalmologia, Pediatria e Embriologia. RESULTADOS: Dos cento e dez artigos encontrados foram seleccionados 2 artigos de revisão e dezasseis artigos de investigação que serviram de base a este artigo. CONCLUSÕES: Os avanços do conhecimento nesta área da vascularização tem aplicação prática num futuro próximo, não só nesta patologia como em outras em que há neovascularização, nomeadamente retinopatia diabética ou DMLI.

|
Penny McAllum, Allan Slomovic Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2007, 6:5 (1 April 2007)
Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight-threatening corneal infection, which is rare, but may be increasing in frequency. The spectrum of disease ranges from mild, with an excellent prognosis, to severe and complicated with significantmorbidity. Its diagnosis is frequently delayed and the index of suspicion needs to be high, particularly in cases of atypical keratitis in contact lens wearers. Prolonged medical therapy with multiple anti-amoebal agents is usually required and penetrating keratoplasty is sometimes necessary for visual rehabilitatio.
