While fidelity to breeding sites is well demonstrated in marine turtles, emerging knowledge of migratory routes and key foraging limited conservation value unless levels can be established. We tracked green ( Chelonia mydas , n =10) loggerhead Caretta caretta turtles during their post-nesting migration from the island Cyprus grounds. After intervals 2–5 years, five these females were recaptured at nesting beach for a second migration. All used highly similar return same over-wintering areas....
Objectives To investigate the views and experiences of patients regarding their glaucoma follow-up, particularly towards type frequency visual field (VF) testing. Design A qualitative investigation using focus groups. The group discussion used broad open questions around topics in a prompt guide relating to particular, VF monitoring. All groups were taped, transcribed coded manual computer-aided methods. Setting Three National Health Service (NHS) hospitals England; two took place at each...
Most species of marine turtle breed every two or more years and it is the norm for females to lay than one clutch eggs within a nesting season. Knowing interval between breeding seasons frequency (number clutches laid by an individual in season) allows us assess status population. At Alagadi Beach, Northern Cyprus, over period 6 (1995–2000), we attributed 96% green Chelonia mydas 80% loggerhead Caretta caretta known females. This intensive level monitoring enabled estimate both species....
Abstract Sea turtles show temperature dependent sex determination. Using an empirical relationship between sand and air temperature, we reconstructed the nest temperatures since 1855 at Ascension Island, a major green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) rookery. Our results that inter‐beach thermal variations, previously ascribed to albedo of sand, which varies hugely from one beach another, have persisted for last century. Reconstructed varied by only 0.5 °C on individual beaches over course nesting...
There is a relative paucity of data regarding the at‐sea distribution and behaviour marine turtles. This especially true for critically endangered green turtle Chelonia mydas population in Mediterranean. Six adult female turtles were equipped with satellite transmitters tracked periods between 28 293 d following their final nesting season northern Cyprus. Data elucidated hitherto unknown migratory pathways highlighted importance North African coastal waters as feeding habitat adults this...
ABSTRACT Aim To examine the exploitation, recovery and current status of green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) nesting at Ascension Island. Location Island (UK) (7°57′ S, 14°22′ W), South Atlantic Ocean. Methods We analysed records harvest between 1822 1935, illustrating decline in numbers over this period. Using a deterministic age‐class structured model we predict initial number breeding females present population prior to recorded compare our estimate based upon recent annual surveys...
Purpose.: To compare face recognition performance of glaucomatous patients with age-similar visually healthy people. Methods.: Percentage correctly identified faces in the Cambridge Face Memory Test was assessed (n = 54; mean age 69) a range visual field (VF) defects and controls 41; 67). All participants underwent cognitive assessment (binocular acuity [BVA], contrast sensitivity [CS], Humphrey VFs, both 10-2 24-2) had BVA at least 0.18 logMAR. Patients were classified as having “early,”...
Abstract Background Glaucoma has been shown to lead disability in many daily tasks including visual search. This study aims determine whether the saccadic eye movements of people with glaucoma differ from those normal vision, and investigate association between impaired Methods Forty patients (mean age: 67 [SD: 9] years) a range glaucomatous field (VF) defects both eyes best mean deviation [MD]: –5.9 (SD: 5.4) dB) 40 age-related vision 66 10] were timed as they searched for series target...
Abstract Aim Levels of sea turtle bycatch in the Mediterranean are thought to be unsustainable. We provide a comprehensive overview adult green ( Chelonia mydas ) distribution during nesting, migration and foraging phases, highlighting transitory as well residential areas high use facilitate adequate protection for this long‐lived, migratory species. Location Sea. Methods Thirty‐four females were satellite tracked from breeding grounds four countries with major nesting (Cyprus, Turkey,...
Some studies have shown that the incidence of type 2 diabetes increases after a diagnosis COVID-19, although evidence is not conclusive. However, effects COVID-19 vaccine on this association, or effect other subtypes, are clear. We aimed to investigate association between and 2, 1, gestational non-specific diabetes, COVID- 19 vaccination, up 52 weeks diagnosis.
Past research has not fully ascertained the extent to which people with glaucoma have difficulties reading. This study measures change in reading speed when letter contrast is reduced, test hypothesis that patients are more sensitive than age-similar visually healthy people.Fifty-three [mean age: 66 years (standard deviation: 9)] bilateral visual field (VF) defects and 40 control subjects 69 8) years] had speeds measured using sets of fixed size, non-scrolling texts on a computer setup...
<h3>Purpose</h3> Binocular visual field (VF) loss is linked to driving impairment, guiding authorities implement fitness drive requirements for VFs. Yet, evidence limited regarding the specific types of VF defect that impede driving. This study used a novel gaze-contingent display test hypothesis superior impacts detection hazards more than inferior loss. <h3>Methods</h3> The Hazard Perception Test (HPT) computer-based component UK examination learner drivers. It measures response rate...
Background Visual field (VF) tests are the benchmark for detecting and monitoring eye disease glaucoma. Measurements from VF variable, which means that frequent monitoring, perhaps over a long period of time, is required to accurately detect true glaucomatous progression. In 2009, guidelines diagnosis management glaucoma issued by National Institute Health Care Excellence revealed an absence research evidence about clinical effectiveness cost-effectiveness using different intervals However,...
Abstract Population monitoring is an essential part of evaluating the effectiveness management interventions for conservation. Coastal breeding aggregations marine vertebrate species that come ashore to pup or nest provide opportunistic window observation into otherwise widely dispersed populations. Green turtle ( C helonia mydas ) nesting on north and west coasts northern yprus has been monitored consistently exhaustively since 1993, with intensive saturation tagging programme running at...
Sight loss from glaucoma can have a significant impact on functioning and performing everyday activities, but this varies between patients. The purpose of study was to explore whether patients with use different coping strategies in response their vision loss. Audio-recorded semi-structured interviews were conducted 16 (median age: 71 [interquartile range [IQR]: 68 77 years]; 50 % female) about experiences living glaucoma. Patients had diagnosis for at least 5 years (range: 6 29 years)...
Associations have been found between COVID-19 and subsequent mental illness in both hospital- population-based studies. However, evidence regarding which illnesses are associated with by vaccination status these populations is limited.
SUMMARY Satellite telemetry was used to record the submergence duration of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) as they migrated from Ascension Island Brazil (N=12 individuals) while time/depth recorders (TDRs) were examine depth distribution and dive profiles individuals returning nest after experimental displacement (N=5 individuals). revealed that most submergences short (&lt;5 min) but some longer (&gt;20 min), particularly at night. TDRs much time spent conducting (2–4 shallow...
