Vascular casting and scanning electron microscopy of human ocular vascular abnormalities. 1985

A W Fryczkowski, and B S Grimson, and R L Peiffer

Plastic casts of ocular vessels were made from postmortem specimens obtained from patients who had had hypertension and arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and retinopathy of childhood. In conjunction with scanning electron microscopy, the casts serve as models of pathologic vascular changes, including arteriovenous crossing defects, microaneurysm, localized capillary nonperfusion, and rapidly growing peripheral choroidal vessels. These preliminary findings should serve to encourage further study of ocular vascular abnormalities with the use of plastic casting techniques.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D008297 Male Males
D008833 Microcirculation The circulation of the BLOOD through the MICROVASCULAR NETWORK. Microvascular Blood Flow,Microvascular Circulation,Blood Flow, Microvascular,Circulation, Microvascular,Flow, Microvascular Blood,Microvascular Blood Flows,Microvascular Circulations
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D010969 Plastics Polymeric materials (usually organic) of large molecular weight which can be shaped by flow. Plastic usually refers to the final product with fillers, plasticizers, pigments, and stabilizers included (versus the resin, the homogeneous polymeric starting material).
