Purpose: This cross-sectional prospective study measured utility values of upper eyelid dermatochalasis to quantify its impact on quality of life and assess cost-effectiveness of upper blepharoplasty.

Methods: Utility of dermatochalasis was assessed using the standard reference gamble and time trade-off methods, with dual anchor points of perfect eye function and perfect health. The utility value obtained was used to create a Markov model and run a cost-effectiveness analysis of blepharoplasty as a treatment for dermatochalasis while utilizing the societal perspective.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study is investigating the impact of yoga on chronic low back pain (CLBP) to see if any improvements in pain are linked to better emotion regulation (ER) skills, as well as how pain sensitization influences these effects.
  • - A randomized controlled trial will involve 204 adults with CLBP, dividing them into a yoga group and a control group for 12 weeks, and assessing their pain levels, ER, and pain sensitivity at multiple points throughout the study.
  • - Researchers will analyze whether yoga practice enhances ER and reduces pain severity, while also exploring the potential role of pain sensitization as either a moderator or an outcome of these interventions.

Objective: Diabetes is associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Information on the relationship between HRQoL and glucose-lowering medications in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) is limited. We assessed changes in HRQoL in participants with T2D receiving metformin plus one of four glucose-lowering medications in Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE).
