Retina/AMD Until recently, most patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could not expect their vision to improve or stabilize with or without treatment. Now, the Opal Photoactivator laser from Lumenis has revolutionized the standard of care and offers patients renewed hope. Lumenis designed the Opal Photoactivator especially for use in photodynamic therapy with verteporfin, a drug produced by CIBA Vision Corporation, the eye care unit of Novartis AG. The Opal laser used in conjunction with Visudyne therapy represents an incredible advance in ocular photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this approach, the Opal laser is used not as a cutting tool but to activate a therapeutic drug in the patient's eye, providing a minimally invasive, focused treatment for AMD. The Opal offers innovative features unavailable on any other laser features that ensure uncompromised treatment, safety, and patient care. Utilizes an advanced diode laser with consistent beam energy of 689 nanometers Its modular design allows easy configuration to most diagnostic slit lamp platforms Exposure time as determined by intensity, fluence, spot size, and contact lens magnification is typically only 83 seconds

X-Menu Histoplasmosis - Nota por Sergio Santana La histoplasmosis es una enfermedad producida por el hongo Histoplasma capsulatum. Histoplasma capsulatum es un hongo que puede presentar dos formas. En el medio ambiente se encuentra en forma de micela y se reproduce por medio de esporas. Por efecto de múltiples factores, como la temperatura de más de 30°C, adopta la forma de levadura que se reproduce por gemación; ésta es la forma encontrada en los tejidos afectados. En la naturaleza el hongo vive a expensas de materia orgánica en descomposición, de preferencia con cierto grado de humedad y calor; las esporas son muy resistentes a la desecación; conservan su fertilidad varios años y germinan en condiciones ambientales adecuadas, para dar salida a un filamento que crece, se ramifica y a su vez da origen a nuevas esporas. Las tasas de ataque más elevadas se observan en los trabajadores rurales, sobre todo en los granjeros. La enfermedad también se presenta en forma de brotes epidémicos, relacionados con la inhalación de esporas, en sujetos que han penetrado en cuevas, minas, recintos o edificios cerrados y en general a lugares más o menos confinados en los que el suelo está contaminado con deyecciones de aves o murciélagos. En México se ha demostrado la existencia de la infección en todos los estados, tanto en los medios urbanos como rurales, correspondiendo a los estados del sureste del país las tasas más altas.

Conditions Histoplasmosis Also Listed As: Signs and Symptoms Causes Risk Factors Diagnosis ... Supporting Research Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by the organism Histoplasma capsulatum H. capsulatum ). The infection is usually mild and asymptomatic, but in approximately 5% of cases it causes a sudden, short-term (up to 10 days), flu-like respiratory illness. In very rare cases (1% to 5%) it can produce serious syndromes that progress rapidly and may result in death. Because of the similarity in symptoms, histoplasmosis is sometimes mistaken for tuberculosis. Approximately 500,000 people are exposed to H. capsulatum annually in the United States. Signs and Symptoms Most cases of histoplasmosis produce no symptoms or symptoms that are extremely mild. Signs and symptoms that occur in rare cases include the following: When the disease spreads throughout the body and affects many organ systems, a person may experience fever, chills, weight loss, enlarged liver and spleen, swollen lymph nodes, ulcers in the mouth, stomach ulcers that may bleed, infection of heart valves, meningitis (inflammation of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord), anemia, and elevated calcium levels. Causes The primary cause of histoplasmosis is exposure to the organism H. capsulatum

Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by a fungus that lives in the eastern United States (particularly the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys). It usually affects the lungs, but in more serious cases it can affect other parts of the body as well. How does it occur? You can get histoplasmosis by breathing the fungus into your lungs. The fungus is often spread: from bird or bat droppings when ground is dug up and the fungus gets into the air when an old building where birds or bats have lived is torn down.

Other characters Histoplasmosis, Histoplasma capsulatum was discovered by Samuel Darling during the Panama Canal construction in the early 1900s. By the 1930s this organism was recognized as a cause of human disease in the central region of the United States. The organism is frequently found in the droppings of birds or bats and outbreaks of the disease are common when widespread construction disturbs the ground where organisms dwell. The organism may be found throughout the world but is most frequently identified in North America. Human to human transmission has not been reported. Infections begin after inhalation of Histoplasma spores. A focal area of infection in the lung is followed by macrophage ingestion and ipsilateral hilar and subsequent mediastinal lymph node involvement. Symptoms may not occur until 20 weeks after infection and simulate influenza with fever, cough, myalgia and headache. Chest radiographs have a variable appearance. In the "epidemic" type of the disease multiple poorly marginated

Other characters Histoplasmosis, a fungal disease caused by Histoplasma capsulatum (or H. duboisii ), which results from inhalation of spores from soil contaminated with the organism. For a general description, see histoplasmosis In some cases of histoplasmosis, the gastrointestinal system may be the portal of entry. The disease causes widespread involvement (brain, lymph nodes, spleen, adrenal gland, lung, bowel, bone marrow), and the fungus proliferates most widely in the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. Among the musculoskeletal sites affected in infections caused by H. capsulatum are the pelvis, skull, ribs and small tubular bones. In some cases noncaseating granulomas may be present in bone marrow. Joints may also be affected (osteoporosis, joint space narrowing), and synovial fluid may show mildy inflammatory changes. In patients with H. duboisii infection, the manifestations consist of granulomatous ulcerating and papular skin lesions with or without associated bone and joint changes. In this form, involvement of the flat bones (skull, ribs, pelvis, sternum) predominates, although the spine and tubular bones may also show abnormalities. The lesions most typically consist of cystic lytic areas ( Fig.1
