Epub 2010 Oct 21. PMID: 21060672 Abstract Title:  Management of chronic anterior uveitis relapses: efficacy of oral phospholipidic curcumin treatment. Long-term follow-up. Abstract:  Curcumin has been successfully applied to treat inflammatory conditions in experimental research and in clinical trials. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of an adjunctive-to-traditional treatment with Norflo tablets (curcumin-phosphatidylcholine complex; Meriva) administered twice a day in recurrent anterior uveitis of different etiologies. The study group consisted of 106 patients who completed a 12-month follow-up therapeutic period. We divided the patients into three main groups of different uveitis origin: group 1 (autoimmune uveitis), group 2 (herpetic uveitis), and group 3 (different etiologies of uveitis). The primary end point of our work was the evaluation of relapse frequency in all treated patients, before and after Norflo treatment, followed by the number of relapses in the three etiological groups.

Epub 2019 Mar 18. PMID: 30889784 Abstract Title:  Saffron (L.) in Ocular Diseases: A Narrative Review of the Existing Evidence from Clinical Studies. Abstract:  Saffron (L.) and its main constituents, i.e., crocin and crocetin, are natural carotenoid compounds, which have been reported to possess a wide spectrum of properties and induce pleiotropic anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective effects. An increasing number of experimental, animal, and human studies have investigated the effects and mechanistic pathways of these compounds in order to assess their potential therapeutic use in ocular diseases (e.g., in age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic maculopathy). This narrative review presents the key findings of published clinical studies that examined the effects of saffron and/or its constituents in the context of ocular disease, as well as an overview of the proposed underlying mechanisms mediating these effects. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/narrative-review-presents-key-findings-published-clinical-studies-examined-eff" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/narrative-review-presents-key-findings-published-clinical-studies-examined-eff#comments Eye Diseases Glaucoma Macular Degeneration Maculopathy Saffron Anti-Inflammatory Agents Antioxidants Review Wed, 24 Apr 2019 19:33:55 +0000 greenmedinfo 185983 at https://greenmedinfo.com
