Background: Binge drinking is a dichotomous variable that allows researchers to sort students into categories based upon specific threshold of consumption, commonly 4 (females) or 5 (males) drinks. Crossing the binge increases risk negative alcohol‐related consequences. The use such thresholds has played vital role in study college drinking. While extremely valuable, nature variables removes information about how heavily actually drink, leaving characterization incomplete. present examined...
Background: College students tend to pour single servings of beer and liquor that are larger than commonly used standards. The reasons for this unknown. Students might overpour because they lack knowledge standard serving sizes. Alternatively, know how much alcohol but simply have difficulty pouring the correct amounts. Misperceptions sizes could lead inaccuracies in self-reported consumption. If is case, then validity students' responses on surveys definitions risky drinking based them...
IgG4-associated orbital and ocular inflammation is a relatively unknown entity characterized by sclerosing with infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. Some so-called idiopathic syndromes are being re-classified as histopathologic evaluation.We report three cases differing manifestations inflammation: case recurrent, treatment-refractory sclero-uveitis that was diagnosed granulomatosis polyangiitis an IgG4-related component, pachymeningitis optic neuritis resulted in permanent visual...
The outcomes of pediatric glaucoma suspects with a history ocular trauma remains unknown; we describe the rate conversion to this population patients at research-intensive academic center. We conducted retrospective case series open- or closed-globe who were being monitored as Wilmer Eye Institute between 2005 and 2016. A total 62 eyes from identified median age presentation 9.7 years (7.8 years) follow-up 2.7 (5.8 years). There 29 (46.8%) open-globe injuries 33 (53.2%) injuries. higher...
Social media is a popular, poorly vetted health care information source. Vision therapy controversial topic that some claim can benefit patients with visual processing disorders, despite no supporting evidence. The authors assessed quality of Instagram (Meta Platforms) posts tagged #visiontherapy, finding few high-quality and correlation between engagement quality.

Rationale: Much of what is known about college drinking comes from self‐report survey data. Such surveys typically ask students to indicate how many drinks they consume within a given period time. It currently unclear whether and researchers use similar operational definitions single drink. This information critical the widespread reliance on data for assessing correlates consequences drinking. Objectives: study investigated define standard drink volumes in way that consistent with commonly...
Our current understanding of alcohol-induced memory blackouts is derived largely from research with middle-aged, hospitalized, male alcoholics. In the present study, 50 undergraduate students (34 female and 16 male) a history at least one blackout were interviewed to gain insight into their experiences. Fragmentary blackouts, in which for events fragmented, far more common than en bloc type, period time simply missing memory. Most recalled bits pieces without cueing others, yet still relied...
In Brief Purpose: To report the incidence of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) tears in patients treated with ranibizumab therapy for choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration. Design: Interventional case series. Methods: One hundred sixty-four eyes from a large clinical practice were retrospectively reviewed number injections and presence or absence fibrovascular detachment. Main outcome measures occurrence RPE tears, timing following last injection. Results:...
<h3>Importance</h3> Cataract is an important cause of visual impairment in children. Data from a large pediatric cataract surgery registry can provide real-world estimates outcomes and the 5-year cumulative incidence adverse events. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess acuity (VA), complications additional eye operations, refractive error 5 years after lensectomy among children younger than 13 years. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective cohort study used data Pediatric Eye Disease...
Alcohol use by college students is commonly measured through the of surveys. The validity such data hinge on assumption that are aware how much alcohol they actually consume. Recent studies call this into question. Students tend to overestimate appropriate sizes standard drinks, suggesting might underestimate If true, then students' actual blood concentrations (BACs) should be higher than BACs estimated based self-report data. present study examined issueBreathalyzer readings and...

Purpose: Among the options for surgical management of pediatric glaucoma, destruction ciliary body reduces aqueous production and, consequently, intraocular pressure (IOP). Compared to more invasive filtering and shunt procedures, cyclodestruction is an attractive option control IOP in glaucomas. Methods: The relative reduction IOP, duration effect, comparable safety efficacy transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCP) endoscopic (ECP) patients with glaucoma was studied this retrospective...
Introduction Micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MPCPC) has been shown in adults to offer a favorable post-operative safety profile compared continuous wave transscleral (CWCPC) the management of glaucoma. The purpose this study is evaluate long term efficacy, safety, and effectiveness MPCPC pediatric glaucoma when CWCPC. Methods IRB approved retrospective chart review patients with that underwent CWCPC at 2 separate institutions. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) between 5...
Purpose: To facilitate development of standardized guidelines for management pediatric patients undergoing keratoplasty, particularly the youngest cohort, through a comprehensive survey assessing recent trends in practice patterns corneal specialists and ophthalmologists. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study current practices pertaining to keratoplasty was performed by designing 20-question focused on preoperative indications, surgical techniques, postoperative management. This...
The treatment of anisometropic or ametropic amblyopia has traditionally enjoyed a high success rate. Early initiation and consistent use spectacle correction can completely resolve in majority patients. For those with that fail to improve glasses wear alone, patching atropine penalisation lead equalisation visual acuity. However, successful requires full-time compliance refractive this be challenge for patient population often one eye good acuity without correction. Other barriers select...
To report a case of recurrent nummular keratitis in pediatric patient with Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome.A retrospective chart review.A 14-year-old boy syndrome (HIDS) presented photophobia and ocular irritation concomitant disease exacerbation. He was found on exam to have significant keratitis, which responded short course topical steroids. Despite acute response local immunosuppression, the had several attacks eventually developed large corneal scar decreased vision. After initiation...
Abstract Objective Pediatric ocular trauma represents a major concern for ophthalmologists. Delays in presentation, incomplete exams, inaccurate visual acuity (VA) results, and amblyopia can limit accurately predicting final outcomes pediatric eye trauma. We performed retrospective clinical study to describe the demographics causes of also compared 2 scoring systems, one specifically designed trauma, classify injuries determine which better predicted VA outcomes. A chart review 3 years globe...
