To examine whether retinal vascular calibre independently predicts risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) -related death.In a population-based cohort study 3654 Australians aged > or = 49 years, arteriolar and venular calibres were measured from baseline photographs the arteriole to venule ratio (AVR) was calculated. CHD-related death confirmed Australian National Death Index.Over nine 78 women (4.1%) 114 men (7.8%) had incident deaths. In people 49-75 wider venules associated with CHD death,...
<h3>Background:</h3> Retinopathy lesions are fairly common findings in clinic settings and may predict risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). <h3>Objective:</h3> To examine whether retinopathy independently predicts a CHD-related mortality people with without diabetes. <h3>Methods:</h3> In an Australian population-based cohort (n = 199) 2768) diabetes (Blue Mountains Eye Study, total n 2967), the presence severity was assessed from retinal photographs. 12-Year cumulative CHD deaths were...
<h3>Aim:</h3> To describe the prevalence and risk factors of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in an Asian population. <h3>Methods:</h3> The Singapore Malay Eye Study is a population-based, cross-sectional study 3280 (78.7%) adults (aged 40–80 years) living Singapore. All participants underwent photography, standardised interview, clinical examinations laboratory investigations. RVO (central or branch) was graded based on Blue Mountains (BMES) protocol from photographs. <h3>Results:</h3> overall...
We have developed a robust method to perform retinal vascular fractal analysis from digital retina images. The technique preprocesses the green channel images with Gabor wavelet transforms enhance Fourier Fractal dimension is computed on these preprocessed and does not require any segmentation of vessels. This novel requires human input only at single step; allocation optic disk center. tested this 380 healthy individuals aged 50+ years, randomly selected Blue Mountains Eye Study population....
<h3>Aims:</h3> To determine the relationship of metabolic syndrome and its components with retinopathy other retinal microvascular signs in a Japanese population. <h3>Methods:</h3> The Funagata study recruited 1961 (53.3% eligible) aged 35 or older. was diagnosed primarily using definitions International Diabetes Federation. Retinopathy were assessed from fundus photographs. Retinal arteriolar venular diameters measured computer-assisted programme. <h3>Results:</h3> Data available for...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> In persons with diabetes, retinal microvascular abnormalities are associated chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is not clear if the same relationship applies in without diabetes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We examined 2,971 participants from a population-based study (240 with, 2,731 diabetes). Retinal photographs were masked graded for signs, and CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate...
Abstract Music plays a vital role in human culture and society, serving as universal form of expression. However, accurately classifying music emotions remains challenging due to the intricate nature emotional expressions integration diverse data sources. To address these challenges, we propose Multilayered Decomposition Multimodal Integration Interaction (MMD-MII) model. This model employs cross-processing facilitate interaction between audio lyrics, ensuring coherence representation....
<h3>Aim:</h3> To assess the association between antihypertensive medications and long-term incidence of both cataract surgery. <h3>Methods:</h3> 3654 persons aged 49+ years were examined at baseline, 2454 re-examined after 5 and/or 10 years. Interviewer-administered questionnaires collected information on use medications. Lens photographs taken each visit graded. Associations 10-year surgery assessed. <h3>Results:</h3> The either oral or topical β-blockers had a borderline with nuclear (odds...
<b>Aims:</b> To assess whether retinal arteriolar wall changes (focal narrowing and arteriovenous nicking) are associated with an increased 5 year risk of age related maculopathy (ARM). <b>Methods:</b> The Blue Mountains Eye Study examined 3654 residents aged 49+ years living in a defined area, during 1992–4 (82.4% participation). After years, 2335 surviving participants (75.1%) were re-examined 1997–9. Retinal photographs graded using the Wisconsin ARM grading system. Incident late...
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism associated with retinal arteriolar narrowing, a subclinical marker chronic hypertension. Funagata Study examined population-based sample Japanese aged 35+ years; 368 participants had both vessel diameter measurements and ACE insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) analyses performed. Assessment wall signs followed protocols used in Blue Mountains Eye Study. polymorphisms D/D, I/D I/I were present...
