To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment amblyopia in children aged 7 to 17 years.At 49 clinical sites, 507 patients with amblyopic eye visual acuity ranging from 20/40 20/400 were provided optimal optical correction and then randomized a group (2-6 hours per day prescribed patching combined near activities for all plus atropine sulfate 12 years) or an (optical alone). Patients whose improved 10 more letters (> =2 lines) by 24 weeks considered responders.In 7- 12-year-olds (n = 404), 53%...
To compare 2 hours vs 6 of daily patching as treatments for moderate amblyopia in children younger than 7 years.In a randomized multicenter (35 sites) clinical trial, 189 years with the range 20/40 to 20/80 were assigned receive either or combined at least 1 hour per day near visual activities during patching.Main Outcome Measure Visual acuity amblyopic eye after 4 months.Visual improved similar amount both groups. The improvement from baseline months averaged 2.40 lines each group (P =.98)....
Nuclear extracts derived from HeLa and Drosophila melanogaster KC cell lines have been found to correct single base-base mispairs within open circular DNA heteroduplexes containing a strand-specific, site-specific incision located 808 base pairs the mismatch. Correction in both extract systems is strand specific, being highly biased incised strand. Different homologous set of were processed with different efficiencies (G.T greater than G.G approximately equal A.C C.C), correction was...
Identifying policies that will cut or constrain US health care spending and growth dominates reform efforts, yet little is known about whether the drivers of levels are same. Policies produce a one-time reduction in level spending, for example by making hospitals more efficient, may do to reduce subsequent annual growth. To identify factors causing grow fastest, we focused on three conditions Medicare population: heart attacks, congestive failure, hip fractures. We found postacute...
<h3>Importance</h3> A binocular approach to treating anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia has recently been advocated. Initial studies have yielded promising results, suggesting that a larger randomized clinical trial is warranted. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare visual acuity (VA) improvement in children with treated iPad game vs part-time patching. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> multicenter, noninferiority was conducted community institutional practices from September 16, 2014,...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the reliability of a new visual acuity testing protocol for children using isolated surrounded HOTV optotypes. <h3>Methods</h3> After initial pilot and modification, was evaluated Baylor-Video Acuity Tester (BVAT) to present At 6 sites, testability in 178 aged 2 7 years subset 88 children. Twenty-eight percent were classified as having amblyopia. <h3>Results</h3> Using modified protocol, ranged from 24% 2-year-olds 96% 5- 7-year-olds. Test-retest high...
<h3>Objective</h3> To compare patching and atropine sulfate as treatments for moderate amblyopia in children 18 months after completion of a 6-month randomized trial. <h3>Methods</h3> In randomized, multicenter (47 sites) clinical trial, 419 younger than 7 years with (20/40 to 20/100 the affected eye) were assigned receive either or eye drops 6 months. Between 2 years, treatment was at discretion investigator. <h3>Main Outcome Measure</h3> Visual acuity amblyopic sound years....
Among cranial nerve palsies, a third palsy is important because subset caused by life-threatening aneurysms. However, there significant disagreement regarding its incidence and the reported etiologies.To determine etiologies of acquired using population-based method.All newly diagnosed cases from January 1, 1978, through December 31, 2014, in Olmsted County, Minnesota, were identified Rochester Epidemiology Project, record-linkage system medical records for all patient-physician encounters...
Intravitreous bevacizumab (0.25 to 0.625 mg) is increasingly used treat type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but there remain concerns about systemic toxicity. A much lower dose may be effective while reducing risk.To find a intravitreous that was than previously for severe ROP, in this study, and could tested future larger studies.Between May 2015 September 2016, 61 premature infants with ROP or both eyes were enrolled masked, multicenter, phase de-escalation study. One eye 10 14...
