The proximal composition and its seasonal variation of the green seaweed Ulva sp. harvested in a traditional saline (earthen ponds used for marine salt extraction) from Cadiz Bay (Southern Spain) was evaluated. Ulva sp.

Effectiveness of Angle-Based Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery after Laser Trabeculoplasty: An Analysis of the IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight).

Objective: Angle-based minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (ab-MIGS) has grown substantially, although long-term efficacy is poorly understood. We analyze ab-MIGS effectiveness with and without preceding laser trabeculoplasty (LTP).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

The Impact of Sea Urchin as an Ingredient on the Physicochemical, Microbiological, and Sensory Properties of Fish Sauce Fermentation.

The consequences of using 25% whole or shelled sea urchin as an ingredient in anchovy sauce on its fermentation and development of its physicochemical properties after 20 days fermentation was studied. Two varieties of fish and sea urchin sauce were made with or without shell at 1:2:1 ratio (salt:fish:sea urchin) plus a control fish sauce at 1:3 ratio (salt:fish). All sauces were fermented at 40-50 °C for 20 days, where for the first 7 days the preparation remained in a static phase.

Participant Experience Using Novel Perimetry Tests to Monitor Glaucoma Progression.

Prcis: Participant surveys taken after using tablet-based and smart visual function analyzer (SVFA) perimetry tests suggest that patients may prefer novel perimetry tests over traditional visual field machines.

Purpose: Compare patient experience using the IMOvifa SVFA and the tablet-based Melbourne Rapid Fields visual field (VF) tests to the Humphrey Field 24-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm Standard.

Patients And Methods: Prospective observational cohort study on adult participants with diagnoses of glaucoma suspect, ocular hypertension, or glaucoma.

Comparison of Perimetric Outcomes from a Tablet Perimeter, Smart Visual Function Analyzer, and Humphrey Field Analyzer.

Purpose: The tablet-based Melbourne Rapid Fields (MRF) visual field (VF) test and the IMOvifa Smart Visual Function Analyzer (SVFA) are portable perimeters that may allow for at-home monitoring and more frequent testing. We compared tablet and SVFA results with outputs from the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) 24-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm Standard program.

Design: Observational cross-sectional study.

Factors associated with glaucoma-specific quality of life in a US glaucoma clinic in a pilot implementation of an online computerised adaptive test (GlauCAT).

Objectives: Measure quality of life (QoL) outcomes using a novel computerised adaptive test in a clinical setting, and determine the social and demographic factors associated with specific QoL domains in patients with glaucoma.

Design: Cross-sectional study between July 2020 and April 2021.

Participants: English-speaking adults presenting to glaucoma clinic.

Implementation of an Online Glaucoma-Specific Quality of Life Computerized Adaptive Test System in a US Glaucoma Hospital.

Purpose: The feasibility of implementing a computerized adaptive test (CAT) system in routine clinical care in ophthalmology has not been assessed. We evaluated the implementation of a glaucoma-specific CAT (GlauCAT) in outpatients at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Institute.

Methods: In this implementation study (July 2020-April 2021), 216 adults (mean ± SD age 64.

Effect of Autologous Serum Eye Drops on Corneal Haze after Corneal Cross-linking.

Significance: Corneal haze remains a frequent post-operative finding in patients undergoing corneal cross-linking. It has been shown that autologous serum tears promote epithelial healing and reduce post-operative pain; however, the role in the prevention of corneal haze has not been reported.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of autologous serum tears versus preservative-free artificial tears on the prevention and resolution of post-cross-linking corneal haze.

Changing trends in ocular trauma during the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA.

Background/aims: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with a decline in emergency department (ED) presentations for trauma. The purpose of this study is to compare the estimated number and characteristics of eye injuries in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, to those in 2011-2019.

Methods: A stratified probability sample of US ED-treated eye injuries was used to calculate the estimated annual number and incidence of these injuries in 2020, the year of the pandemic, and 2011-2019 (prepandemic years).

Influence of Different Vinification Techniques on Volatile Compounds and the Aromatic Profile of Palomino Fino Wines.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of vinification techniques on volatile compounds and sensory profiles in young Palomino fino white wines. Four winemaking techniques (pellicular maceration, supra-extraction and use of commercial yeast strains and of β-glycosidase enzymes) were implemented to enhance the aromatic quality of wines elaborated from this neutral variety of grape. Volatile compound content, aromatic profile (OAVs) and sensorial analysis were determined.

Freshness Quality and Shelf Life Evaluation of the Seaweed through Physical, Chemical, Microbiological, and Sensory Methods.

In Europe, the consumption of seaweeds and derived products has increased in recent years, due to the expansion of Asian cuisine and the emergence of many top-level chefs. Often in collaboration with scientists, many have initiated a new gastronomy using algae. However, little is known about the quality and degree of freshness of seaweeds for direct consumption or fresh use.

Cognitive performance following lacunar stroke in Spanish-speaking patients: results from the SPS3 trial.

Background: Cognitive impairment is frequent in lacunar stroke patients. The prevalence and pattern among Spanish-speaking patients are unknown and have not been compared across regions or with English-speaking patients.

Aims: The aim of this study was to characterize cognitive impairment in Spanish-speaking patients and compare it with English-speaking patients.

Differences in immunoreactive trypsin values between type of feeding and ethnicity in neonatal cystic fibrosis screening: a cross-sectional study.

Background: We studied the differences in immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) in neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) associated individually with the age of the newborn, ethnicity and environmental temperature. In this study, we determine the overall influence of environmental temperature at birth, gender, feeding, gestational age, maternal age and ethnic origin on an abnormal IRT result.

Methods: Cross-sectional observational study.

Clinical-MRI correlations in a multiethnic cohort with recent lacunar stroke: the SPS3 trial.

Background: Neuroimaging manifestations of small vessel disease are heterogeneous, and correlation with patient features has not been adequately characterized.

Aim: Our goal was to correlate magnetic resonance imaging findings with clinical features in a large multiethnic cohort with recent lacunar stroke.

Methods: Patient characteristics were correlated with neuroimaging results in the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Stroke study participants.
