TL;DR: The decrease in the thickness of the choroid may play a role in the pathophysiologic features of various age-related ocular conditions and seems to vary topographically within the posterior pole.

TL;DR: Since photoreceptors die, ultimately, due to major alterations at the BM–choriocapillaris interface, it is imperative to know about the mechanisms of normal maintenance of the choroidal vessels.

Impact of Valsalva maneuver on central choroid, central macula, and disk fiber layer thickness among high myopic and hyperopic patients.
Isil Kurultay-Ersan,Sinan Emre +1 more
TL;DR: The findings emphasize the likelihood of increase in choroidal volume due to venous distension to be responsible for the increase observed inchoroidal thickness after Valsalva maneuver.

Aqueous flare and choroidal thickness in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection: a pilot study.
TL;DR: This study showed that impairment of the blood-aqueous barrier and thickened choroids are features of asymptomatic HCV patients, and that choroidal thickness increases as the degree of subclinical inflammation of the anterior chamber increases.

The effect of laser pan-retinal photocoagulation with or without intravitreal bevacizumab injections on the OCT-measured macular choroidal thickness of eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

TL;DR: The macular choroidal thickness does not appear to be significantly influenced by laser treatment alone but increases significantly when associated with bevacizumab injections in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular edema, suggesting that the choroid participates in its pathogenesis.

Choroidal thinning and "stair-case" foveal sign in a patient with Alport syndrome.
TL;DR: Stair-case foveal sign and choroidal thinning are two new signs that clinicians can expect to encounter on optical coherence tomography imaging of patients with Alport syndrome.

Enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to obtain images of the choroid using conventional spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate choroidal thickness measurements using these images was described.

TL;DR: Oral sildenafil is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for men with erectile dysfunction and is associated with improved erectile function in the dose-response study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of sildenafil, administered as needed in two sequential double-blind studies of men with erectile dysfunction of organic, psychogenic, or mixed causes.

Ageing and degeneration in the macular region: a clinico-pathological study.
TL;DR: This series represented eyes in which the fundi were normal or showed various manifestations of senile macular degeneration, and the basal linear deposit seems to be a manifestation of gradual failure of the pigment epithelium and proved to be the most suitable criterion by which to study the natural history ofsenile macularity degeneration.

Morphometric analysis of Bruch's membrane, the choriocapillaris, and the choroid in aging.
R.S. Ramrattan,T. L. Van Der Schaft,Cornelia M. Mooy,W. C. De Bruijn,Paul G.H. Mulder,P.T.V.M. de Jong +5 more
TL;DR: In advanced stages of age-related macular degeneration, the decrease in choriocapillary density and diameter was significantly larger than in normal maculae, but the thickness of the choroid and Bruch's membrane was the same.
