Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Choroid Diseases:

1.	Retinaldehyde (Retinal)IBA 06/01/2015 - "In this cross-sectional observational study 255 eyes of 136 children with no retinal or choroidal disease were consecutively scanned using enhanced depth SD-OCT. " 12/01/2015 - "Patients receiving IVB as part of the treatment for pediatric retinal and choroidal diseases experienced significant visual acuity gains and reductions in central macular thickness. " 10/01/2014 - "Following further investigations, ICG/HS 15 may be evaluated in patients with retinal and choroidal diseases for more refined diagnosis." 12/01/2012 - "A total of 176 eyes from 114 subjects with no retinal or choroidal disease. " 05/01/2012 - "Therefore, a precise clinical understanding of choroidal morphology should be important for understanding many retinal and choroidal diseases. "
2.	Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)IBA 01/01/2010 - "A recent interest in the neuroprotective abilities of NGF has led to a renewed interest in NGF as a therapeutic for retinal and choroidal diseases. "
3.	1-phenyl-3,3-dimethyltriazene (PDT)IBA 09/01/2009 - "Several retinal and choroidal diseases can be treated successfully with PDT. "
4.	Indocyanine Green (Cardio-Green)FDA LinkGeneric 04/01/2015 - "The importance of exploration of choroidal disease, unavailable until the early 1990s before the advent of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) was stressed, allowing early diagnosis of disease. " 05/01/2004 - "Indocyanine green angiography made it possible to assess and follow choroidal disease with the same precision as retinal involvement was followed so far. " 11/01/1995 - "We used indocyanine green to study wavelength-optimized confocal scanning infrared laser angiography in patients with retinal and choroidal disease. "
5.	bevacizumab FDA Link 12/01/2015 - "To describe the long-term outcomes of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) for the treatment of pediatric retinal and choroidal diseases. " 11/01/2010 - "Bevacizumab for the treatment of pediatric retinal and choroidal diseases."
6.	Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)IBA 06/01/2010 - "Since digoxin suppresses multiple pathways in addition to VEGF signaling, it may provide advantages over specific VEGF antagonists for treatment of patients with retinal and choroidal diseases complicated by neovascularization and/or excessive vascular permeability. "
7.	Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins (Growth Factors)IBA 02/01/2012 - "This review summarizes the most important growth factors participating in the angiogenic process in the retina and the choroid, diseases where angiogenesis plays the most devastating part causing visual impairment, as well as current antiangiogenic treatments for these diseases."
8.	Hydrocortisone (Cortisol)FDA LinkGeneric 04/01/1959 - "[Various retinal & choroid diseases successfully treated with retrobulbar hydrocortisone and/or alpha-chymotrypsin]."
9.	Digoxin (Digitek)FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/2010 - "Since digoxin suppresses multiple pathways in addition to VEGF signaling, it may provide advantages over specific VEGF antagonists for treatment of patients with retinal and choroidal diseases complicated by neovascularization and/or excessive vascular permeability. "
10.	ArgonIBA 01/01/1981 - "Indications for argon laser photocoagulation treatment of macular, pigment epithelial, and choroidal disease."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Light Coagulation 10/01/2004 - "To observe ultrastructural changes and repair process of retina after laser photocoagulation of the retina, in order to provide histopathologic findings of laser treatment for RPE and choroidal diseases. " 02/01/1991 - "These results suggested that diode laser photocoagulation might be effective for the treatment of the choroidal diseases rather than retinal diseases, because diode laser photocoagulation produced the considerable change in the choroid as well as in the retina." 08/01/2008 - "The videos highlight the evolving features of ROP, such as development of arborized vessels posterior to the ridge, development of Stage 3 lesions, progression of plus disease, choroidal vascular changes accompanying the progression of ROP, dynamic changes in the temporal arcade angle, and regression of disease following last photocoagulation. " 01/01/1981 - "Indications for argon laser photocoagulation treatment of macular, pigment epithelial, and choroidal disease."
2.	Semiconductor Lasers 02/01/1991 - "These results suggested that diode laser photocoagulation might be effective for the treatment of the choroidal diseases rather than retinal diseases, because diode laser photocoagulation produced the considerable change in the choroid as well as in the retina."
3.	Lasers (Laser) 10/01/2004 - "To observe ultrastructural changes and repair process of retina after laser photocoagulation of the retina, in order to provide histopathologic findings of laser treatment for RPE and choroidal diseases. " 12/01/2015 - "ANALYSIS OF A CONFOCAL SCANNING LASER OPHTHALMOSCOPE NONCONTACT ULTRA-WIDE FIELD LENS SYSTEM IN RETINAL AND CHOROIDAL DISEASE." 09/01/2013 - "Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), digital angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and detection of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) have fundamentally changed our understanding of numerous retinal and choroidal diseases. " 01/01/1981 - "Indications for argon laser photocoagulation treatment of macular, pigment epithelial, and choroidal disease." 11/01/1995 - "We used indocyanine green to study wavelength-optimized confocal scanning infrared laser angiography in patients with retinal and choroidal disease.
