Prcis: The manuscript evaluates cost-effectiveness of glaucoma screening with imaging devices and telemedicine based on a screening campaign performed in Spain. The screening strategy implemented in our analysis was cost-effective compared with opportunistic case finding.
Introduction: Open angle glaucoma is an asymptomatic ocular disease that represents one of the first causes of blindness.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinography in the detection of glaucoma through a telemedicine program.
Methods: A population-based sample of 4113 persons was randomly selected. The screening examination included a fundus photograph and OCT images.
: To evaluate interobserver and intertest agreement between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinography in the detection of glaucoma through a telemedicine program. : A stratified sample of 4113 individuals was randomly selected, and those who accepted underwent examination including visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), non-mydriatic retinography, and imaging using a portable OCT device. Participants' data and images were uploaded and assessed by 16 ophthalmologists on a deferred basis.

- This study focuses on using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect glaucoma in color fundus images, showcasing the importance of factors like dataset size and architecture.
- The researchers compared CNN performance against human evaluators and examined how integrating patient history and images affected the results.
- The best results were achieved with a transfer learning approach using the VGG19 model, reaching an AUC of 0.94 and suggesting that this method could enhance glaucoma detection in large-scale screening initiatives.
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the macular retinal layer segmentation software of the Spectralis spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) device (Heidelberg Engineering, Inc., Heidelberg, Germany) to discriminate between healthy and early glaucoma (EG) eyes.
Design: Prospective, cross-sectional study.
Background & Aims: This study investigates whether the aetiologic changes in liver disease and the improved management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have modified the clinical scenario of this tumour over the last 20 years in Italy.
Methods: Retrospective study based on the analysis of the ITA.LI.
