Objective: During the menopause transition (MT), abnormal uterine bleeding, characterized by prolonged (PMB) or heavy (HMB) menstrual bleeding, occurs often. We assessed whether PMB or HMB was associated with fatigue.
Methods: We used longitudinal daily menstrual calendar data from 2,329 participants in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to identify episodes of HMB and PMB.
Background: While coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is effective in reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiac events by improving myocardial perfusion, the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains notable.
Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) among patients undergoing CABG surgery at a major U.S.
Purpose Of Review: This review highlights treatment options, both under investigation and currently available, for treating postcataract macular edema. An update on current clinical studies for postcataract macular edema has been summarized.
Recent Findings: Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is a common complication of cataract surgery leading to decreased visual acuity due to inflammation promoting vascular permeability and macular edema.
Introduction: Rouvière's sulcus, an anatomical landmark, has been proposed as a potential aid in enhancing surgical safety. This study aims to assess the prevalence of RS and its anatomical variations both in the existing literature and within our clinical practice.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic literature search was conducted, and relevant studies were identified.
Importance: The COVID-19 pandemic has altered health care delivery, including ophthalmic care. Understanding how the pandemic has changed the rates of commonly performed ophthalmic procedures is crucial for assessing the broader implications for patient care and resource allocation.
Objective: To estimate the changes in the rates of the 10 most prevalent ophthalmic procedures among Medicare beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the geographic disparities in these shifts.
