Associations between ocular pulsations and structural–functional changes in normal tension glaucoma (iCARENTG)

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:24:47 +0000

Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy characterized by optic nerve damage despite normal intraocular pressure. This indicates that, in addition to intraocular pressure, hemodynamic and biomechanical factors play an important role in disease pathogenesis. Despite scientific progress, clinical practice still lacks methods that enable individualized assessment of these dynamic processes in […]

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:59:53 +0000

The human brain has a great metabolic demand and requires adequate nutritional flow. The brain’s vascular system must respond to changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP) or intracranial pressure to sustain constant cerebral blood flow. A mechanism which maintains cerebral blood flow stable despite fluctuations of perfusion pressure is called cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA). Unfortunately, the […]
