Reducing surgery-related patient anxiety without under-emphasizing surgical risk is challenging for even the most experienced surgeon. The purpose of this study to identify specific anxieties faced by patients in hopes better informing preoperative surgeon-patient dialogue.Comprehensive and specialty ophthalmology clinics at University California, San Francisco.A prospective, survey-based which a pre- postoperative questionnaire was administered undergoing routine phacoemulsification....
The Effects of 24 weeks Resistance Training with Simultaneous Elastic and Free Weight Loading on Muscular Performance Novice Lifters purpose this investigation was to assess the effectiveness variable resistance as provided through elastic plus free weight techniques in college aged males females. Twenty novice lifters were randomly assigned a traditional only (6 5 females) or band group (5 9 more normally active controls 4 females), recruited maintain normal activity for duration study. No...
<h3>Importance</h3> Undertreated patient symptoms require approaches that improve symptom burden. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the association of a lay health worker–led screening and referral intervention with burden, survival, care use, total costs among Medicare Advantage enrollees new diagnosis solid or hematologic malignant neoplasms. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This quality improvement study conducted at 9 community oncology practices from November 1, 2016, to October 31,...
Although the flipped classroom model provides an effective way to teach ophthalmology medical students, there are concerns that it overburdens learner. The purpose of this study was assess students' perceptions a case-based style compared with traditional didactic lecture series and evaluate effects learning on confidence in managing common ophthalmic complaints.We created interactive, curriculum. Paired pre- post-clerkship surveys were distributed students first last day 2-week clerkship....
Poor patient experiences and increasing costs from undertreated symptoms require approaches that improve patient-reported outcomes lower expenditures. We developed evaluated the effect of a lay health worker (LHW)-led symptom screening intervention on satisfaction, self-reported overall mental health, care use, total costs, survival.
Conjunctivitis is the most common ocular condition diagnosed in US emergency departments (EDs), accounting for almost one-third of all eye-related encounters.1 Because its generally nonemergent nature, understanding burden and timing conjunctivitis may allow preemptive triage to a less expensive health care setting.
BackgroundCorneal ulcers are a common cause of blindness in low-income and middle-income countries, usually resulting from traumatic corneal abrasions during agricultural work. Antimicrobial prophylaxis can help prevent ulcers, but delays the initiation therapy frequent. We aimed to assess whether community-based programme for ulcer prevention would reduce incidence ulceration.MethodsA cluster-randomised trial was performed village development committees (VDCs) Nepal. VDCs catchment area...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors have a dynamic posthospital course which warrants close monitoring. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) could be used to improve quality and efficiency of AKI survivor care. Objective: The objective this report was describe the development preliminary feasibility an RPM program launched in October 2021. Setting: Academic medical center. Patients: Patients enrolled were those who experienced during hospitalization underwent nephrology consultation....
<h3>Importance</h3> Mass azithromycin distributions may decrease childhood mortality, although the causal pathway is unclear. The potential for antibiotics to function as growth promoters explain some of mortality benefit. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate whether biannual mass are associated with increased growth. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This cluster-randomized trial was performed from December 2014 until March 2020 among 30 rural communities in Boboye Loga departments...
Because transmission of ocular strains Chlamydia trachomatis is greatest among preschool-aged children, limiting azithromycin distributions to this age group may conserve resources and result in less antimicrobial resistance, which a potential advantage areas with hypoendemic trachoma limited resources.To determine the efficacy mass children as strategy for elimination disease.In cluster randomized clinical trial performed from November 23, 2014, until July 31, 2017, thirty rural communities...
Repair of retinal detachment frequently requires use intraocular gas. Patients are instructed to position themselves postoperatively appose the bubble break(s). We developed a novel wearable wireless positioning sensor, which provides real-time audiovisual feedback on accuracy positioning.Eight healthy volunteers wore sensor for 3 hours while maintain their head tilted toward 2 o'clock meridian with no feedback. Positioning was recorded. The subjects repeated experiment enabled.With...
Purpose Glaucoma screening can be performed by assessing the vertical-cup-to-disk ratio (VCDR) of optic nerve head from fundus photography, but VCDR grading is inherently subjective. This study investigated whether computer software could improve accuracy and repeatability assessment. Methods In this cross-sectional diagnostic study, 5 ophthalmologists independently assessed a set 200 disk images, with median grade used as reference standard for subsequent analyses. Eight...
Medical shops in Nepal are a main point of treatment for many diseases including ophthalmic conditions. We sought to evaluate pharmaceutical shop worker knowledge corneal ulcers and abrasions. A from each 117 different pharmacies surrounding Bharatpur, Nepal, was presented four eye photographs (i.e., ulcer, abrasion, conjunctivitis, normal eye) asked about diagnosis management. Of participants, 86 (74%) identified conjunctivitis correctly but few were able identify abrasion (50/117; 43%) or...
Purpose: To describe a case of TUBA1A -associated optic nerve hypoplasia and persistent fetal vasculature. Methods: Observational report. Results: A female, full-term infant was found to have Dandy–Walker malformation with cerebellar brainstem hypoplasia, ventriculomegaly, lissencephaly. Her ophthalmic examination notable for vasculature, vitreous hemorrhage, peripheral retinal nonperfusion. Subsequent genetic testing revealed variant. Conclusion: Persistent vascular abnormalities, may be...
