OverviewAI-generated summary

Kaersti L. Rickels' research focuses on ocular manifestations of systemic diseases and conditions, as well as reconstructive surgical techniques. Her work includes retrospective studies examining visual acuity and disease progression. She has investigated the posterior segment manifestations of syphilis and their correlation with serologic markers, as well as persistent syphilitic ocular manifestations despite treatment. Rickels also studies ocular manifestations secondary to substance abuse, such as cocaine, and fractal changes of the retinal microvasculature in conditions like birdshot chorioretinopathy and syphilitic uveitis. Additionally, her research explores diabetic retinopathy as a risk factor for ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma. She has also published on virtual surgical planning for mandibular reconstruction in an abbreviated admission pathway. Rickels collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Sami H. Uwaydat, Muhammad Z. Chauhan, Deanne King, and Jumin Sunde, with whom she shares multiple publications.
