Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss among older adults, affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. With no cure currently available and a rapidly increasing prevalence, emerging approaches such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) hold promise for advancing the study of AMD. The effective utilization of AI and ML in AMD research is highly dependent on access to high-quality and reusable clinical data.

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are vital tools for translating evidence into practice and promoting equitable, high-quality care while addressing practice variations. This review examines CPG applicability for epileptologists, emphasizing the nuances between primary and specialty care, addressing disparities, and comparing guideline usage in the United States and internationally.

Our analysis revealed emission lines in the observed spectrum that closely matched the strongest mid-infrared laboratory bands associated with tyrosine and phenylalanine in terms of wavelength and intensity. Through flux measurements, we estimated column densities along the line of sight toward the core of IC 348, ranging from 0.

We aimed to investigate the association of ICH score with mortality and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST).
Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of ICH were identified using data from Florida Stroke Registry (FSR) hospitals participating in the American Heart Association (AHA) Get with the Guidelines-Stroke (GWTG-S) from 2013-2022.
