The phenomenon of vein pulsation
The venous retinal pulsation is occurring due to the blood pressure difference in the central retinal vein. The pressure difference occurs due to the condition of the systole and diastole pressure.
The following are experimental studies carried out so far on physician experiment set-ups and existing theoretical models considered, wave surface with the Pulsations phenomena of collapsible vessels in the body deal. Few of these models are based on the anatomical and physiological conditions of the CRV, which is why most only the effect must be interpreted.

4.9) and represent the portion of the vein at the optic disc as it exits the eye (I), the intra-neural portion (II), the region through the nerve sheath where it crosses the subarachnoid space (III) and the extra-neural portion where the central retinal vein traverses outside the nerve to join the ophthalmic vein (IV), respectively. In the portion of the vein towards the rear of the eye (compartment I), the elastic wall is externally surrounded by vitreous humour at the IOP, while in the portion of the vein passing through the nerve sheath (compartment III), the elastic wall is externally surrounded by CSF at the ICP. Coupling between the IOP and ICP dictates the onset of the RVP. Other more sophisticated models for the elastic response of the vein are available, including for example its bending stiffness, but this study focuses on the simplest possible model. In compartment II the retinal vein is assumed to pass down the center of the optic nerve and so is unsheathed by nerve and connective tissue; therefore the vein wall can be assumed rigid. The vein wall in compartment IV is also assumed …show more content…

This threshold intraocular pressure depends on the phase shift, varying over a range of approximately 1.5mmHg for mean ICP of 0mmHg. There are two encouraging features emerging from this model: first, the threshold for the onset of large amplitude oscillations appears to be an approximately linear relationship between the IOP and the CSF pressure over a significant range, consistent with measurements in canines; second, predictions show only a modest dependency on the phase shift between the IOP and the ICP oscillations – for the model parameters chosen the maximal difference in the predicted onset IOP was 1.5mmHg across the range of phase shift. The model employs an idealized representation of the elastic vessel wall (neglecting bending stiffness), assumes simple sinusoidal waveforms for the ICP and IOP and neglects pulsatility in the inlet flow into the vein. The model also assumes that the diameter of the vein is constant along its length and ignores bifurcations. When the mean IOP is 18.5mmhg then the ICP is 0mmhg, IOP is increased to 18.5mmHg, the vessel wall in compartment

2) Arterial Doppler: Arterial Doppler on both lower limbs was done to all subjects in the study. How was it prepared: We asked participants to rest and stop using products that contain nicotine (cigarettes, chewing tobacco) for 30 minutes to 2 hours before the test. Nicotine causes blood vessels to constrict and may give false results.

There are several anatomical and physiological differences between the rabbit eye and the human eye. One difference is the presence of a nictitating membrane, or third eyelid, in the rabbit. As this membrane slides horizontally across the eye, it is proposed that it aids removing and/or excluding irritating substances from the corneal surface. Another difference is the larger conjunctival sac in the rabbit, which allows for larger test volumes to be instilled, perhaps more than could be accounted for on accidental exposure. The rabbit cornea is thinner than that found in humans, and rabbits tend to have less tear production.

After treatment there is a local inflammatory reaction (chemical phlebitis) that causes the closing and re-absorption of the varicose. The sclerotherapy, also used in the case of groups of capillaries, can be performed in medical surgery without anesthesia. • Laser surgery- laser treatments allow you to intervene on smaller varicose veins. With the laser surgery is obtained by the closure of the vein that gradually tends to disappear. • Radiofrequency

Kevin Mc Kinney from the American academy of ophthalmology acknowledge that it exists different types of glaucoma and categorize them as follow: “1) Primary open angle glaucoma: this is the most common form of glaucoma. It occurs when the trabecular meshwork of the eye gradually becomes less efficient at draining fluid. 2) Normal tension glaucoma: that type of glaucoma arises even though the pressure in the eye is normal, but the optic nerve is damaged.3) Angle closure glaucoma: also called narrow angle glaucoma. It occurs when someone’s iris is very close to the drainage angle in their eye.

Orthokeratology lenses work particularly on the anterior corneal tissue, however it is not clear whether the effect is mainly on the epithelium, anterior stroma, or both (6). Moreover , there are several theories on forces which are involved in inducing corneal change in orthokeratology. One of such theory proposed that the downward pressure of the central portion of the orthokeratology lens was flattening the underlying corneal epithelial cells (6). Another theory suggested that the orthokeratology lens created an outward pulling pressure in the tear film. This pressure gradient was thought to pull the epithelial cells peripherally, hence resulting in re-distribution of epithelial cells in the cornea (6).

This comprises of attenuation of blood vessels, waxy disc pallor and a mottled appearance of the retinal pigment epithelium which is caused by the formation of bone spicule. Internal limiting membrane wrinkling, buried drusen of the optic nerve head, cystoid macula edema, cataracts (usually PSC) and vitreous pigmentation and syneresis may also be seen. Symptoms of this disease include night blindness, tunnel vision, photopsia, photophobia, difficulty adjusting from light to dark environments and vice versa, blurry vision, poor colour separation, loss of central vision (late stage) and blindness eventually. RP may occur as an isolated disease (non syndromic which is the typical form of disease) or in combination with systemic disease (syndromic). Usher syndrome is the most common form of syndromic RP.

Deep Venous Thrombosis There are both superficial and deep veins in the limbs or extremities (arms and legs). A blood clot in the deep veins is a concern because it can cause life-threatening complications. A deep vein thrombus is a blood clot or thrombus that develops in deep vein usually in leg; here they pass through the center of leg, surrounded by muscles, less commonly Deep Venous Thrombosis occurs in deep veins of arm or pelvis. A blood clot is a clump of blood that is in a gelatinous, solid state.

The fluid material used in this case is water. The cell zone conditions must now be converted from air to the liquid water. A boundary condition is created at the inlet surface as a velocity magnitude of 0.2m/s. The velocity is set to 0.2m/s, which represents the blood flow along the cylinder. Finally, the simulation can be performed using the run calculation tool.

Introduction This essay will reflect on my personal experience, skills, and knowledge gained from my studies and practice of undertaking blood pressure (Bp) whilst completing my professional placement. Bp may be defined as a force of blood against vessel walls in the body, consisting of systolic and diastolic pressure measured in millimeters of mercury. (Waugh and Grant, 2016) Systolic pressure occurs when the hearts left ventricle contracts and forces blood into the aorta causing a heightened atrial pressure, while diastolic pressure refers to complete cardiac diastole, this is when the aortic valve closes and pressure is at its lowest between beats, blood moves into smaller corresponding vessels and the heart rests.

The results revealed the surface of the iris at a higher stress was profoundly affected by a higher IOP (30 mmHg) while there is a less amount of stress distribution in the iris surface at the IOP of 10 mmHg (Fig. 4). The vitreous body, regardless of the variations in the IOP, showed almost the same amount of stress with the same distribution (Fig. 5). The amount of stress in the retina and sclera which act as holder pressure applied from the external load was different by variation of the IOPs. That is, by increasing the pressure in the aqueous body the stress in the retina and sclera are increased and decreased, respectively (Fig. 6). The crucial role of the optic nerve is to link the eye to the brain for image interpretation.
