PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of asteroid hyalosis and to examine correlates of asteroid hyalosis in a population-based cohort. METHODS: The population of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, that was 43 to 86 years of age was examined from 1988 to 1990 (n = 4926). The population is predominantly...
Beaver have been referred to as ecosystem engineers because of the large impacts their dam building activities have on the landscape; however, the benefits they may provide to fluvial fish species has been debated. We conducted a watershed-scale experiment to test how increasing beaver dam and col...
Our prevalence rates for any AMD (both by eye and by person for the better eye) ranged between 82% and 86%, which was consider ably higher than that found in the Beaver Dam study (36.8% in persons >75 years), the Framingham study (50% in persons 75-85 years) and the Danish ...

Efficacy of statins has been extensively studied, with much less information reported on their unintended effects. Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on unintended effects is often insufficient to support hypotheses generated from observational studies. We aimed to systematically assess uninte...
