  1. Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Alzheimer's Disease: A Case-Control Study in Comparison to Normal Aging, Parkinson's Disease, and Non-Alzheimer's Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias 2016-02-16 Brain scans and imaging

    Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness, and macular volume (MV) utilizing spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were compared among patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, non-Alzheimer's disease (non-AD) dementia, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), Parkinson's disease (PD), and age- and sex-matched controls in a cross-sectional cohort study.

  2. A systematic review and meta-analysis of retinal nerve fiber layer change in dementia, using optical coherence tomography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2015-04-23 Brain scans and imaging

    OCT measurement of RNFL thickness appears diagnostically useful in discriminating between AD, or MCI, and HC.

  3. The relationship between the degree of cognitive impairment and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology 2015-01-10 Brain scans and imaging

    The goal of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the degree of cognitive impairment and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness which is measured by the optical coherence tomography (OCT).

  4. Detection of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Defects in Alzheimer's Disease Using SD-OCT

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Frontiers in psychiatry 2014-02-25 Brain scans and imaging

    As examined by spectral-domain OCT, patients with mild to moderate stages of AD showed a significant reduction of RNFL thickness in the nasal superior sector.

  5. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2013-06-17 Brain scans and imaging

    Defective visual information processing from both central and peripheral pathways is one of the suggested mechanisms of visual hallucination in Parkinson's disease (PD).

  6. Retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2013-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Optical coherence tomography is a simple, high-resolution technique to quantify the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL).

  7. Optic nerve head and nerve fiber layer in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Archives of ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960) 1991-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    We compared (1) the differences in the retinal nerve fiber layer between 26 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 30 age- and race-matched normal controls with use of blue-light high-resolution photography, (2) the differences in disc pallor between 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 32 controls with use of a boundary-tracking program and fundus photographs, and (3) the topographic disc variables between 26 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 36 controls with use of an optic nerve head analyzer.
