A Method for Assessing the Prevalence of Food Insecurity in Older Adults Based on Resource Constraints and Food-Related Physical Functioning Limitations.

Background: Older adults with food-related physical functioning limitations often face food insecurity because of challenges that go beyond resource constraints. Difficulties with food acquisition at retailers, and food preparation and consumption are not captured by the United States Department of Agriculture's food security measure.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to develop a method to assess the overall prevalence of food insecurity regardless of underlying cause using validated measures that capture both food-related physical functioning limitations and resource-constraint food hardships.

Assessment of Macular Hole Closure Speed Using Trans-tamponade OCT and 3-Dimensional Macular Hole Segmentation in the DISCOVER Study.

To explore opportunities for individualized postoperative positioning duration in macular hole (MH) surgery. : This post hoc analysis comprised eyes that had full-thickness MH (FTMH) repair in the prospective DISCOVER intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) study. Preoperative spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and postoperative day 1 (POD1) trans-tamponade OCT were analyzed.

Analysis of retinal alterations utilizing intraoperative OCT following surgical interventions with novel ILM forceps in the DISCOVER study.

This study aimed to assess retinal alterations following membrane peeling procedures using novel ILM Forceps with laser ablated surface with the help of intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). A post-hoc analysis was performed to evaluate iOCT findings in eyes that underwent membrane peeling procedures with the novel ILM Forceps. Pre-peel and post-peel iOCT videos and images were evaluated for each eye to assess for post-peel anatomic alterations.

Erdafitinib-associated retinal alterations and rapid onset bilateral white cataracts.

Purpose: This report aims to highlight the wide spectrum of ophthalmic adverse events associated with erdafitinib, a fibroblast growth factor inhibitor that blocks activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPK/MEK) cascade. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of erdafitinib-associated bilateral outer retinal alterations in the MEK-associated retinopathy spectrum and rapid onset bilateral total cataracts following a 20-month course of erdafitinib therapy.

Observations: A 69 year old male with metastatic bladder cancer presented 47 days following treatment initiation with daily erdafitinib (8-mg) with mild new subretinal fluid and minimal associated subretinal debris in the left eye and accentuation/thickening of the interdigitation zone in the right eye.
