DNA Methyltransferase Expression (DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b) as a Potential Bio...
Camacho, Pedro; Ribeiro, Edna; Pereira, Bruno; Nascimento, João; Caldeira Rosa, Paulo; Henriques, José; Barrão, Sandra; Sadio, Silvia; Quendera, BrunoPublisher Copyright: © 2025 by the authors.; Background/Objectives: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a global cause of vision loss, with limited therapeutic options highlighting the need for effective biomarkers. This study aimed to characterize plasma DNA methyltransferase expression (DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B) in AMD patients and explore divergent expression patterns across different stages of AMD. M...
Foveal avascular zone area measurement in diabetic patients
Pereira, Bruno; Faria, Ross; Domingues, Cátia; Barros, Ana; Varandas, Teresa; Henriques, José; Nascimento, João; Carolino, Elisabete; Camacho, PedroPurpose: To compare differences in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, measured in the Superficial Vascular Complex (SVC), Deep Vascular Complex (DVC) and a combined analysis of both (SDVC), using two Spectral Domain OCT angiography (OCT-A) protocols, High Speed (HS) and High Resolution (HR). Methods: A total of 26 eyes of diabetic patients, with and without macular oedema, were examined with two different fo...

Guidelines for the management of center-involving diabetic macular edema
Figueira, João; Henriques, José; Carneiro, Ângela; Marques-Neves, Carlos; Flores, Rita; Castro-Sousa, João Paulo; Meireles, Angelina; Gomes, NunoDiabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of visual impairment associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular laser, during approximately three decades, and was the single treatment option. More recently, intravitreous injections of anti-angiogenics and corticoster-oids modified the treatment paradigm associated with significant vision improvements. Nevertheless, not all patients respond satisfactor...
