The diagnosis of NVCM is... based on the presence of intraretinal cystoid spaces on OCT [optical coherence tomography] and the absence of leakage and pooling on late-phase FA [fluorescein angiography].... There are many causes of cystoid maculopathies, most of them being due to a breakdown of the inner or outer BRB [blood-retinal barrier],... and others being due to a variety of causes in the absence of fluorescein leakage, when FA is performed, referred to as NVCM. The causes of NVCM may be mechanical due to antero-posterior VMT [vitreomacular traction] or to tangential epiretinal traction or tension. Retinal dystrophies are another group of heterogeneous diseases in which cystoid spaces may occur in the macula with or without fluorescein leakage and often attributed to neuronal degeneration. Acquired dysfunction of the RPE [retinal pigment epithelium] or drug toxicity may be responsible for NVCM. 1, record 1, English, - non%2Dvasogenic%20cystoid%20maculopathy

The British Railways Board was established by the Transport Act 1962, as successor to the British Transport Commission. The Board consisted of a Chairman and between nine and fifteen other members with experience in transport, industrial, commercial or financial matters. The Chairman of the Board is appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport, and the other members are appointed by the Secretary of State after consultation with the Chairman. The BRB now functions as a residuary body since the majority of its functions passed to the Strategic Rail Authority following the passing of the Transport Act 2000. 1, record 3, English, - British%20Railways%20Board
