<h3>Objective</h3> To determine if central corneal thickness (CCT) is related to the levelof glaucoma severity at initial examination. <h3>Methods</h3> The visit a specialist by consecutive patients withprimary open-angle from 1997 2002 was reviewed retrospectively.Each patient's age, sex, race, family history of glaucoma, number glaucomamedications, visual acuity, spherical equivalent, intraocular pressure, CCT,visual field data, and vertical horizontal cup-disc ratios were analyzed....
To compare intracranial pressure (ICP) in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal-tension (NTG; subset of POAG), and ocular hypertension (OHT) that no glaucoma.The study was a retrospective review medical records 62,468 who had lumbar puncture between 1985 2007 at the Mayo Clinic. Of these, 57 POAG subjects, 11 NTG (subset 27 OHT 105 control met criteria were analyzed. A masked comparison relationship ICP other nonocular variables performed by using univariate multivariate...
Background and objective: Stress burnout impact resident physicians. This prospective study tests the hypothesis that a mindfulness-based resilience intervention would decrease stress in residents. Methods: Resident physicians from Departments of Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Anesthesia at Duke University, Durham, NC, USA, participated two or three 1-hour sessions activities, which introduced mindful-awareness included practical exercises for nurturing resilience. Anonymous surveys were...
OBJECTIVE: This guideline provides evidence‐based recommendations to manage diffuse acute otitis externa (AOE), defined as generalized inflammation of the external ear canal, which may also involve pinna or tympanic membrane. The primary purpose is promote appropriate use oral and topical antimicrobials highlight need for adequate pain relief. STUDY DESIGN: In creating this guideline, American Academy Otolaryngology‐Head Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO‐HNSF) selected a development group...
Fifty-four subjects volunteered to participate in a controlled study contrasting spinal manipulation with mobilization without the rotational forces and leverage required move facet joints. All suffered from regional low-back pain for less than 1 month, were ages 18–40, had never previously undergone any form of manipulation, denied prior episode backache within previous 6 months. Randomization was stratified at outset into those who 2 weeks whose discomfort persisted 2–4 weeks. Outcome...
Clinical studies implicate low cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) or a high translaminar difference in the pathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension (NTG). This study was performed to examine effect age, sex, race body mass index (BMI) on CSFP.Electronic medical records from all patients who had lumbar puncture (LP) at Mayo Clinic 1996-2009 were reviewed. Information including race, height weight, ocular diagnoses, intraocular (IOP) LP opening obtained. Patients...
To examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP), as low BMI CSFP have recently been described risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).This was a retrospective review of electronic medical records patients who had measured by lumbar puncture data to calculate at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). Exclusion criteria included diagnoses, surgical procedures medications known affect CSFP. Mean each unit calculated. The probabilities were...
Inner retina in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) may experience neuroinflammation resulting atrophy. The objective of our study was to determine whether retinal GCIPL (ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer) or nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness serve as noninvasive biomarkers diagnose AD. This cross-sectional case-control enrolled 15 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, mild-moderate AD and 18 cognitively normal adults. NFL thicknesses on optical coherence tomography (OCT) were measured using Duke...
Purpose: To assess the differences in measures of diabetic retinopathy (DR) disease burden between patients high-income vs low-income ZIP codes when presenting to retina specialists. Methods: This retrospective cohort study comprised who presented a specialist at Duke Eye Center 2014 and 2023 for management DR. The quartile with highest income was compared lowest income. Demographic data included age, sex, race. Clinical glycosylated hemoglobin A 1c (HbA ), visual acuity (VA), DR diagnostic...
To study the leading indications and changing trends for penetrating keratoplasty (PK) over past 3 decades.This is a retrospective review of 696 cases PK. The PKs performed at Duke University Eye Center during years 1980-1981, 1990- 1991, 2000-2001 were tabulated to determine decades. main outcome measures PK.During this study, performed. PK their respective frequencies 1990-1991, failed grafts (10.8%, 19.0%, 27.0%, respectively), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK)/aphakic (ABK) (19.4%,...
<h3>Aim</h3> To evaluate vision-related quality of life in persons with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25). <h3>Design</h3> Observational, cross-sectional, interviewer-administered study. <h3>Methods</h3> 46 patients unilateral BRVO were included this Scores on VFQ-25 analysed and converted to scaled scores per NEI algorithms. Clinical data including age, gender, employment status, living arrangements,...
With osteochondral lesions of the talar shoulder, their size, articular cartilage geometry, and loss medial or lateral buttress often preclude treatment with traditional autograft techniques. We hypothesized that fresh, large allograft transplantation is a viable option for patients such lesions.A retrospective review was conducted who underwent fresh shoulder between 2000 2007. All failed initial conservative management. Preoperatively, visual analog pain scale 0 to 10 (with denoting no...
