Öğe Association of age-related macular degeneration with age-related hearing loss(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2011) Bozkurt, M. K.; Ozturk, B. T.; Kerimoglu, H.; Ersan, I.; Arbag, H.; Bozkurt, B.Objective: To assess the association between age-related macular degeneration and age-related hearing loss in Turkish subjects aged 50 years or older. Study design and setting: Prospective, case-control study within a tertiary university hospital. Subjects and methods: Fifty subjects with age-related macular degeneration and 43 healthy subjects underwent ophthalmological and otolaryngological examination. Statistical analyses were conducted for the poorer eye and ear, comparing age-related hearing loss and pure tone average in the macular degeneration group versus controls. Results: Median pure tone average was significantly poorer in the macular degeneration group (35 dBHL) compared with controls (23 dBHL). In the macular degeneration group, hearing loss was significantly greater in dry type (43 dBHL) than wet type (32 dBHL) cases. There was a significant difference between the prevalence of varying degrees of hearing loss in the macular degeneration versus control groups, being respectively: mild, 50 and 35 per cent; moderate, 20 and 5 per cent; and severe, 6 and 0 per cent. There was a weak, but significant correlation between each patient's visual acuity and pure tone average results (r(s) = -0.37, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Age-related hearing loss is more common in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Such patients should be questioned regarding hearing difficulty, and referred to an otolaryngologist if appropriate.Öğe Effect of Altered Eating Habits and Periods During Ramadan Fasting on Intraocular Pressure, Tear Secretion, Corneal and Anterior Chamber Parameters(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2010) Kerimoglu, H.; Öztürk, B.; Gündüz, K.; Bozkurt, B.; Kamış, U.; Okka, M.Purpose To determine whether altered eating habits and periods, especially the pre-dawn meal, during Ramadan fasting have any significant effect on intraocular pressure (IOP), tear secretion, corneal and anterior chamber parameters. Methods IOP, basal tear secretion (BTS), reflex tear secretion (RTS), and Pentacam measurements of 31 healthy volunteers were performed at 0800 and 1600 hours during Ramadan fasting and 1 month later during non-fasting period. Results Comparison of measurements between fasting and non-fasting periods at 0800 hours revealed significantly higher values for IOP (P = 0.005), RTS (P = 0.006), and BTS (P = 0.014) during fasting. Conversely at 1600 hours, IOP = was significantly lower during fasting (P = 0.013) and no statistically significant difference was noted for RTS and BTS. IOP showed a diurnal variation of 2.45 mmHg (P < 0.001) and BTS showed a 3.06 mm decrease (P = 0.04) during the fasting period. No significant differences could be found in the corneal and anterior chamber parameters during fasting and non-fasting periods. Conclusions Our results revealed that fluid loading at the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan fasting might increase the IOP = and tear secretion in the early morning period and these values decrease remarkably at the end of 12 h of fasting due to dehydration.Öğe Follow-up of lupus choroidopathy with optical coherence tomography(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2011) Ozturk, B. T.; Bozkurt, B.; Karademir, Z.; Kerimoglu, H.A 36-year-old female followed with the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus complained of bilateral visual loss. Ophthalmological examination revealed disc edema with irregular borders, edematous and pale retina with widespread cotton wool spots, intraretinal hemorrhages and serous retinal detachment in both eyes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans showed intraretinal and subretinal fluid creating cystic cavities with central subfield macular thickness values of 994 and 912 mu m in the right and left eye, respectively. The follow-up scans after the treatment with systemic steroid, acetylsalicylic acid and cyclosporine documented resolution of this fluid accumulation and a decrease in macular thickness measurements. These clearly demonstrated that OCT, which is a fast, objective and non-invasive technology, may be an adjunctive imaging tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of lupus choroidopathy.
