Purpose: This study aims to define the characteristics of acquired vitelliform lesions (AVLs) in patients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD).
Design: Retrospective, observational, cross sectional study.
Subjects: This study included 217 eyes with AVLs associated with iAMD, and an equivalent number of control patients.
Purpose: In this study, we identify risk factors that predict the progression of acquired vitelliform lesions (AVLs) over time.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Subjects: One hundred sixty-three eyes of 132 patients with a diagnosis of intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD) with AVL.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the accuracy of ultrasonography for diagnosing elbow fractures in children, as previous studies have shown mixed results.
- The analysis included 648 studies with 1,000 patients, revealing a pooled sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 87%, indicating that ultrasonography is generally effective.
- Despite promising findings, the authors caution that the studies had limitations and suggest the need for future high-quality research to better standardize the use of ultrasonography in clinical settings.
Background: Coccidiosis causes morphologic alteration in intestinal mucosa resulting in reduction of absorptive surface. Anticoccidials used as feed additives may induce changes in the intestinal mucosa. This study was designed to assess intestinal morphometry in broilers infected with under different anticoccidial treatments.
