We used fractal dimensional analysis to analyze retinal vascular disease burden in eyes with diabetic retinopathy using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).A retrospective study was performed of 13 without macular edema and 56 control eyes. Optical images were acquired the RTVue XR Avanti. Automated segmentation obtained through superficial deep capillary plexuses for each eye. Grayscale OCTA standardized binarized ImageJ. Fractal box-counting analyses Fractalyse....
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether non-mydriatic Polaroid retinal photography was comparable to ophthalmoscopy with mydriasis in routine clinic screening for early, treatable diabetic retinopathy. DESIGN--Prospective study of ophthalmoscopic findings according camera and outcome referral ophthalmologist. SETTING--Outpatient clinics three teaching hospitals district general hospitals. PATIENTS--2159 Adults selected randomly from the clinics, excluding only those registered as blind or...
To use fractal dimensional analysis to investigate retinal vascular disease patterns in patients with diabetic retinopathy using spectral domain optical coherence tomography angiography.A retrospective study was conducted which included 49 eyes from 26 control subjects and 58 35 known have retinopathy. Of the retinopathy, 31 were categorized as nonproliferative (13 mild, 9 moderate, severe) 27 proliferative Optical angiography images acquired RTVue XR Avanti (Optovue, Inc). Automated...
The effectiveness of HCV antiviral therapy in patients who have undergone recent drug dependency treatment and continue to inject drugs sporadically is presently not clear. Patients attending a community-based rehabilitation naltrexone implant clinic from October 2002 until March 2005 were screened for infection if positive offered further assessment with interferon ribavirin therapy. first 50 commence complete at least 6 months follow-up prospectively studied. ETR response (HCV PCR...
Quantification of nonperfusion (NP) and neovascularization (NV) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) may identify better biomarkers disease progression.To demographic risk factors markers advanced DR that are associated with increased areas NP NV eyes ranging from no but diagnosed as having diabetes to proliferative (PDR) calculate a threshold total area be an PDR.This retrospective case series was performed on ultrawidefield fluorescein angiography (UWF FA) images January 2009 May 2018 at the...
<h3>Background:</h3> Chronic cough is common, and medical treatment can be ineffective. Mindfulness a psychological intervention that aims to teach moment-to-moment non-judgemental awareness of thoughts, feelings sensations. <h3>Method:</h3> 30 healthy subjects patients with chronic were studied in two sequential trials. For both studies, reflex sensitivity citric acid (C5) was measured on occasions, urge rated following each inhalation; between challenges randomised (1) no intervention, (2)...
<h3>Background</h3> The pathophysiology of chronic cough may include peripheral/central sensitisation afferent pathways and/or a failure inhibitory pathways. Cough can be voluntarily suppressed in healthy subjects, but the role endogenous inhibition is unknown. Endogenous pain activated by applying painful conditioning stimulus to one body part, inhibit elsewhere, described as “Diffuse Noxious Inhibitory Controls”. <h3>Aim</h3> To investigate if applied hand would subjects. <h3>Methods</h3>...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with chronic cough (CC) have substantially higher 24-h rates compared to patients asthma (A) or healthy controls (HC). CC also a more sensitive reflex, when measured as the ‘<i>threshold</i>’ dose of tussive agent (eg, capsaicin) inducing at least two five coughs (C2/C5), although there is substantial overlap between and HC. We aimed investigate if ‘<i>magnitude’</i> response inhaled capsaicin would better differentiate from A HC subjects. <h3>Methods</h3>...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The prevalence of mental health disorders continues to rise, with almost 4% the world population having an anxiety disorder and 3.5% depression in 2017. Despite high prevalence, only one-third people or receive treatment. Over last decade, use digital interventions (DHIs) has risen rapidly as a means accessing care increase. Although there is evidence supporting effectiveness DHIs for treatment conditions, little known about what aspects are valued by users...
