The microvasculature, the smallest blood vessels in body, has key roles maintenance of organ health and tumorigenesis. retinal fundus is a window for human vivo noninvasive assessment microvasculature. Large-scale complementary machine learning-based vasculature with phenome-wide genome-wide analyses may yield new insights into disease.
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy accompanied by vision loss which can be mapped visual field (VF) testing revealing characteristic patterns related to the retinal nerve fibre layer anatomy. While detailed knowledge about these important understand anatomic and genetic aspects of glaucoma, current classification schemes are typically predominantly derived qualitatively. Here, we classify glaucomatous quantitatively statistically learning prototypical on convex hull data space. In contrast...
To detect visual field (VF) progression by analyzing spatial pattern changes.We selected 12,217 eyes from 7360 patients with at least five reliable 24-2 VFs and 5 years of follow-up an interval 6 months. were decomposed into 16 archetype patterns previously derived artificial intelligence techniques. Linear regressions applied to the weights VF series over time. We defined as decrease rate normal or any increase 15 defect archetypes be outside limits. The method was compared mean deviation...

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Primary open-angle glaucoma the most common form, yet etiology this multifactorial disease poorly understood. We aimed to identify plasma metabolites associated with risk developing POAG in case-control study (599 cases 599 matched controls) nested within Nurses' Health Studies, Professionals' Follow-Up Study. Plasma were measured LC-MS/MS at Broad Institute (Cambridge, MA, USA); 369 from 18...
Accurate diagnosis and timely management are vital for favorable uveitis outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds promise in medical decision-making, particularly ophthalmology. Yet, the diagnostic precision advice from AI-based chatbots lack assessment.
The human retina is a multilayered tissue that offers unique window into systemic health. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) widely used in eye care and allows the noninvasive, rapid capture of retinal anatomy exquisite detail. We conducted genotypic phenotypic analyses layer thicknesses using macular OCT images from 44,823 UK Biobank participants. performed cross-phenotype association (OCT-XWAS), associating with 1866 incident conditions (median 10-year follow-up) 88 quantitative traits...
To assess the diagnostic performance of two chatbots, ChatGPT and Glass, in uveitis diagnosis compared to renowned specialists, evaluate clinicians' perception about utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) ophthalmology practice.
Better understanding of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) genetics could enable timely screening and promote individualized disease risk prognostication.
Abstract Aims/hypothesis As the prevalence of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance is increasing throughout world, diabetes-induced eye diseases are a global health burden. We aim to identify distinct optical bands which closely related metabolism, using non-invasive, high-resolution spectral domain coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in large, population-based dataset. Methods The LIFE-Adult-Study randomly selected 10,000 participants from population registry Leipzig, Germany....
Fairness (also known as equity interchangeably) in machine learning is important for societal well-being, but limited public datasets hinder its progress. Currently, no dedicated medical with imaging data fairness are available, though underrepresented groups suffer from more health issues. To address this gap, we introduce Harvard Glaucoma (Harvard-GF), a retinal nerve disease dataset including 3,300 subjects both 2D and 3D balanced racial glaucoma detection. the leading cause of...
The study investigates long-term recognition memory in congenital prosopagnosia (CP), a lifelong impairment face identification that is present from birth. Previous investigations of processing deficits CP have mostly relied on short-term tests to estimate the scope and severity individual deficits. We firstly report controlled test (one year) for faces objects conducted with large group participants CP. Long-term significantly impaired eight (CPs). In all but one case, this deficit was...
