To evaluate the outcomes of Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro) at our institution.A computerized database retrospectively identified all patients who received a KPro from August 2005 to October 2007.There were 37 patients, 24 (65%) male. Mean age was 66.3 years (median 69 years, range: 24-93 years; SD = 18.1 years). follow-up 16 months (range: 6-28 months; 6.0 months). There 36 type 1 (97%) and 2 (3%) KPros. The primary indication failed penetrating keratoplasty in 29 (78%)-22 (59%) multiple...
The authors investigated the sensitivity and specificity of dementia identification in two Swedish disease registries by using clinical diagnoses from population-based studies as gold standards. probability detected Inpatient Discharge Registry was 55% for prevalent patients 31% incident higher than detection Cause Death Registry. Specificity 98% 100%
To compare the efficacy and safety of Ex-PRESS glaucoma shunt with standard trabeculectomy.Consenting patients medically uncontrolled open-angle were prospectively randomized to trabeculectomy or both mitomycin-C. Exclusion criteria included previous ocular surgery exception clear cornea phaco 1 trabeculectomy, uveitis, vitreous in anterior chamber. Standardized data collection sheets completed at baseline postoperative day 1, weeks 2, months 3, 6, 12. Primary outcome was intraocular...
To compare accelerated corneal crosslinking (CXL) alone, CXL with simultaneous intrastromal ring segments (CXL-ICRS), and topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (CXL-TG-PRK) in progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), or laser situ keratomileusis (LASIK)-induced ectasia.The Kensington Eye Institute Bochner Institute, Toronto, Canada.Prospective nonrandomized interventional study.Visual topographical outcomes using a comparative analysis adjusting for preoperative...
Research has demonstrated that individuals with sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity who experience fractures undergo major surgical interventions exhibit a poorer prognosis compared to the general population. However, few studies have investigated relationship between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue indices, as measured at 12th thoracic spine level, adverse outcomes following orthopedic surgery. Therefore, this study aimed prove whether index by computed tomography (CT) images based on...
Abstract Introduction A large number of middle-aged and elderly patients have an insufficient understanding osteoporosis its harm. This study aimed to establish validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on unenhanced chest computed tomography (CT) images the vertebral body skeletal muscle for opportunistic screening in with osteoporosis. Materials methods Our team retrospectively collected clinical information from participants who underwent CT dual-energy X-ray...
To describe the clinical characteristics, time of presentation, risk factors, treatment, outcomes, and prognostic factors on a recent series Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) treated at our institution.Retrospective case 59 patients diagnosed with AK from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2008. Of these patients, 51 had complete follow-up data were analyzed using univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses performed "failure" defined as requiring penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and/or having...
To compare the rate of visual recovery after Ex-PRESS implantation versus standard trabeculectomy.Subjects enrolled in a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing to trabeculectomy were analyzed for postoperative changes acuity (VA). Risk factors loss (split fixation, cup-disc ratio, intraocular pressure, field mean deviation, and hypotony) evaluated.Sixty-four subjects (33 Ex-PRESS, 31 trabeculectomy). There was no significant difference logMAR VA between groups at baseline or any...
Social participation benefits health. We assessed the relationship between self-reported visual impairment (VI) and glaucoma versus seniors' social participation.Data from individuals aged ≥65 years responding to Canadian Community Health Survey Healthy Aging 2008/2009 (n = 16,369) was analyzed. Participation in eight activities by seniors with without VI or compared.Seniors had significantly reduced (p<0.05) sports/physical (18.0% vs. 33.6%), family/friendship outside household (39.7%...
The Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS) and the National Institutes of Health Stroke (NIHSS) are among most reliable stroke severity assessment scales. CNS requires less extensive neurological evaluation is quicker simpler to administer.Our aim was develop validate a simple conversion model from NIHSS.A developed using data consecutive series acute-stroke patients who were scored both then validated in an external dataset which all prospectively assessed for scales by different observers...
Background and purpose We previously reported that certain optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) measures were sensitive reliable in identifying idiopathic intracranial hypertension IIH ). This prospective study aimed to define allow differentiation of with without papilledema, thereby helping clinical decision‐making. Methods Eight patients nine papilledema 19 other neurological diseases included. obtained before lumbar puncture within 2 h, 1, 3 6 months after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...
<b>Background: </b> Although stroke and APOE 4 are independent risk factors for dementia, their combined effect remains uncertain. We assessed joint on dementia risk. <b>Methods: Subjects participated in Phases 1 2 of the Canadian Study Health Aging (CSHA). Dementia was diagnosed by consensus, history or clinical examination. Analyses were first conducted among participants only, then rerun with screening sample included as well. <b>Results: 949 from CSHA-1 1,413 CSHA-2. During a median...
