Analysis was also performed after exclusion of patients identified preoperatively as having ocular comorbidity that was thought to limit their final corrected acuity. The odds ratios for visual outcome were calculated for age using multiple logistic regression analysis to adjust for other prognostic ...
Treating age-related cataracts If your cataracts are not too bad, stronger glasses and brighter reading lights may help for a while. But cataracts get worse over time, so you'll eventually need surgery to remove and replace the affected lens. Surgery is the only treatment that's proven to b...
Second, the current study is based on outdoor light at night, which is not necessarily equivalent to total light experienced since there may also be indoor sources of nighttime light as well or the use of light-blocking accessories or other adaptive behaviors that limit the amount of outdoor ...
For univariate analyses, estimates of survival were computed with the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Tests of significance were performed with the log-rank test. Adjustments for age, sex, and other risk factors were made using Cox proportional hazards models. Including ...
Our 30.6 BMI estimate of the upper limit of healthy BMI derived using the e-norms is remarkably close to the currently accepted threshold of obesity. This value also corresponds quite closely to the level at which the hazard ratio for all-causes mortality in the UK population of 3.6 million ...
However, the deficiency of organs for transplantation, high costs, and surgical complications still limit the application (Randall et al., 2003). Older adults need LT due to their increased lifespan. Still, there is a controversy over the efficiency of LT in elderly patients due to a high ...
However, this reliance on past trends assumes continuity, which may limit adaptability in rapidly changing conditions. Second, while ARIMA and exponential smoothing models manage the complexities of time series, they may not capture all potential influencing factors, such as socioeconomic changes, ...
CD62L was below the detection limit in seven samples from the control group. CD62P was not detected in three sam- ples, including one from the fibrotic group and two from the non-fibrotic nAMD group. When nAMD patients (regardless of CNV or PCV) with macular fibrosis and those without ...
(o20/40 in the better eye) and the more restrictive age limit used in that study (49 years and over), the prevalence of uncorrected OCVIs in Ponza (15.0% (121 of 809) in 1988, 12.3% (74 of 600) in 2000) is markedly higher than that found in the Blue Mountains community (7.5%...
The invention will be further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims. EXAMPLES Example 1: High-Dose Statin for Regression of Drusen and Improvement of Visual Acuity This example, presents the first evidence that treatment with hi...
