The main aim of the paper is to discuss current knowledge on how Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects Dark Adaptation (DA). The paper is divided into three parts. Firstly, we outline some of the molecular mechanisms that control DA.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that an ED-to-home transitional care intervention reduces hospital-based acute care in chronically ill, older ED visitors.
Research Design: Convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design including a randomized controlled trial.
Purpose: The recovery of visual sensitivity after a photobleach in early AMD is slowed in rods but cones also may be abnormal. The purpose of this article was to test different stimulus locations to investigate cone function and its relation to rod abnormalities.
Methods: Stimuli were presented at two locations, 3.
Background: Policymakers argue that emergency department (ED) visits for conditions preventable with high-quality outpatient care contribute to waste in the healthcare system. However, access to ambulatory care is uneven, especially for vulnerable populations like minorities, the poor, and those with limited health literacy. The impact of limited health literacy on ED visits that are preventable with timely, high-quality ambulatory care is unknown.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Objectives: Older adults seeking emergency department (ED) care often have multiple, complex chronic conditions. We sought to understand factors that influence ED care-seeking by older adults and present a theoretical framework illustrating this process.
Research Design And Methods: In this grounded theory study, we interviewed 40 older adults with chronic illness within 90 days of an ED visit to explore their decision-making about seeking ED care.
