<h3>Background</h3> There has been a recent evolution in the management of uveal melanoma regard to prognostic evaluation and treatment modalities. This study aims evaluate epidemiological trends since 1973 by using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Registry. <h3>Methods</h3> A total 7043 cases from SEER database were retrospectively analysed, spanning 2009. The main outcome measures disease specific overall patient survival. <h3>Results</h3> mean age at diagnosis was 61.4...
Vitamin D has been shown to have anti-angiogenic properties and play a protective role in several types of cancer, including breast, prostate cutaneous melanoma. Similarly, vitamin levels be for risk number conditions, cardiovascular disease chronic kidney disease, as well numerous autoimmune disorders such multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel diseases type 1 diabetes mellitus. A study performed by Parekh et al. was the first suggest age-related macular degeneration (AMD) showed...
Abstract Background To examine if the significantly associated SNPs derived from genome wide allelic association study on AREDS cohort at NEI (dbGAP) specifically confer risk for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We ascertained 134 unrelated patients with AMD who had one sibling an classification 1 or less and was past age which affected diagnosed (268 subjects). Genotyping performed by both direct sequencing Sequenom iPLEX system technology. Single SNP analyses were...
Objective To describe epidemiological trends in lacrimal gland malignancies the United States. Study Design Retrospective database review. Setting Multicenter registry. Subjects and Methods A total of 702 malignant tumors from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results were included study. Disease‐specific overall survival primary outcome measures. Kaplan‐Meier curves generated for multiple patient tumor characteristics, including race, histology, TNM stage, age at diagnosis, radiotherapy,...
<h3>Objective</h3>Acinic (or acinar) cell carcinoma (ACC) represents approximately 10% of salivary gland malignant tumors and most commonly occurs in the parotid gland. It carries a propensity for locoregional distant metastasis. Although it is selectively used as an adjuvant this tumor, radiotherapy (RT) has not been sufficiently examined large population studies survival impact.<h3>Design</h3>Retrospective database review.<h3>Setting</h3>Tertiary care center.<h3>Patients</h3>A total 1241...
To determine the incidence of retinal redetachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy after open-globe trauma in smokers and nonsmokers.A total 892 patients comprising 893 injuries, whom 255 eyes were diagnosed with a detachment, 138 underwent surgical repair analyzed retrospective case-control study. Time was examined using Kaplan-Meier method analysis risk factors Cox proportional hazards modeling.Within one year detachment surgery, 47% (95% CI, 39-56%) all repaired retinas redetached...
PurposeTo describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) features that can differentiate eyes with fovea-off exudative retinal detachment (ERD) vs. rhegmatogenous (RRD), particular attention to outer corrugations (ORCs).DesignMulticenter, retrospective cross-sectional study.MethodsMulticenter, study of patients diagnosed unilateral or bilateral ERD primary, acute, RRD between 2016 and 2021. This was performed approval from Research Ethics Board at University Toronto conducted in accordance...
Evaluate predictors and outcomes of ocular hypertension after open-globe injury.This is a retrospective, case-control study reviewing records consecutive patients with injuries treated at Massachusetts Eye Ear Infirmary between February 1999 January 2007. Of 658 treated, 382 had least 2 months follow-up sufficient data to be included. Main outcome measures are visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), type glaucoma intervention employed.Sixty-five (17%) developed defined as IOP≥22 mm Hg >1...
To assess whether complication rates are comparable between phacovitrectomy using multipiece lenses versus single-piece foldable intraocular lenses.Single-center, multisurgeon retrospective comparative consecutive interventional case series. Two hundred and seventy-one patients undergoing combined performed during a single session at university-based ophthalmology practice from 2004 to 2013 were identified, of whom 184 met study inclusion criteria; 56.4% had diabetes mellitus.There was no...
Music permeates the medical literature regarding disease therapy. However, there are only few articles concerning music as a tool for development of cultural competency and interpersonal relations. We share our experience forming musical act students faculty at school. believe that this group has encouraged humanism enhanced communication in learning environment.
