Abstract Background: Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder of the liver, which may progress to fibrosis or cirrhosis. Recent studies have shown significant impact ethnicity on susceptibility steatosis‐related disease. Aims: To estimate prevalence NAFLD among Chilean Hispanics as well clinical and biochemical variables associated with Methods: Population‐based study Hispanics. The diagnosis was made basis ultrasound evidence absence alcohol consumption hepatitis C...
BACKGROUND Hair follicle (HF) transplantation, especially through follicular unit excision (FUE), is renowned for treating androgenetic alopecia. Recent advancements have expanded its use in dermatology and plastic surgery. OBJECTIVE This review explores FUE's broader applications beyond hair restoration, including efficacy chronic ulcers, axillary hyperhidrosis, bromhidrosis, vitiligo, scar remodeling. METHODS A comprehensive literature was conducted using key medical databases, focusing on...
Purpose.: To evaluate and compare the ability of pointwise linear, exponential, logistic functions, combinations to model longitudinal behavior visual field (VF) series predict future VF loss in patients with glaucoma. Methods.: Visual from 782 eyes (572 patients) open-angle glaucoma had greater than 6 years follow-up 12 VFs performed. Threshold sensitivities first 5 at each location were regressed functions estimate parameters. A multiple-model approach applied lowest root mean square error...
Identifying the course of glaucomatous visual field (VF) loss that progresses from normal to perimetric blindness is important for treatment and prognostication.To model process VF decay over entire range blindness.A post hoc, retrospective analysis was performed using data Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study UCLA (University California, Los Angeles) Jules Stein Eye Institute Division. Patients with open-angle glaucoma VFs obtained reliable examinations (defined as <30% fixation losses,...
Slags involved in smelting-converting-refining operations to produce blister copper at the Atlantic Copper smelter, Huelva (Spain), have been investigated by quantitative electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction and digital imaging techniques. The results showed that mechanically entrapped matte particles are dominant losses slags. largest proportion of Cubearing (2.0-3.5 vol %) is present magnetite-rich converter slags, due negative effect viscosity on coalescence precipitation...
Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is a common complication of portal hypertension. Current guidelines recommend thorn-blockers for primary prophylaxis. However, evidence suggests that endoscopic ligation (EVL) reduce episodes.To compare EVL with propranolol (PPL) prophylaxis bleeding.We conducted randomized controlled trial. Over 9-year period, 75 patients cirrhosis and high-risk esophageal varices (HREV) were recruited allocated to (n=39) or PPL (n=36). Primary outcome was bleeding....
Deforestation and the unsustainable management of agricultural livestock production systems in tropical mountain areas have caused fragmented degraded landscapes. Payment for ecosystem services (PES) could be an effective policy instrument with which to reduce deforestation restore disturbed ecosystems. The national-scale PES program Costa Rica is recognized as being successful; however, its financial resources been mostly dedicated forest protection, much less reforestation projects. This...
Purpose: We investigated the longitudinal relationships between changes in neuroretinal rim area (RA) and slow (SC) fast (FC) components of visual field (VF) decay at various stages glaucoma. Methods: divided 465 eyes 338 patients into glaucoma suspect, preperimetric, early, moderate/advanced All had a minimum 3 confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopic examinations 4 VF tests with follow-up or more years. A pointwise exponential regression was used to perform trend analyses on thresholds each...
