UVEAL METASTASIS BASED ON PATIENT AGE IN 1,111 PATIENTS: Comparison of Clinical Features and Outcomes Per Age Category.

Purpose: To evaluate clinical features and survival outcomes of uveal metastasis based on patient age.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients with uveal metastasis evaluated on the Ocular Oncology Service, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA between February 1, 1974 and June 1, 2017. The features and outcomes were analyzed based on patient age classified as children (0-20 years), young adults (21-40 years), middle [aged] adults (41-60 years), older adults (61-80 years) and senior adults (81-100 years).

Uveal metastasis in 1111 patients: Interval to metastasis and overall survival based on timing of primary cancer diagnosis.

Purpose: To evaluate interval between primary cancer diagnosis and uveal metastasis and assess survival outcomes based on whether the primary cancer was diagnosed before or after uveal metastasis.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, all patients with uveal metastasis evaluated on the Ocular Oncology Service, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA between February 1, 1974 and June 1, 2017 were included. Features and outcomes based on timing of primary cancer diagnosis, whether before or after diagnosis of uveal metastasis, were assessed.

Uveal Metastasis Based on Patient Sex in 2214 Tumors of 1111 Patients. A Comparison of Female Versus Male Clinical Features and Outcomes.

Background: Lacking in previous studies on uveal metastasis is a robust statistical comparison of patient demographics, tumor features, and overall survival based on patient sex.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate demographics, clinical features, and overall survival of patients with uveal metastasis based on sex.

Method: This is a retrospective analysis.

Choroidal amelanotic tumours: clinical differentiation of benign from malignant lesions in 5586 cases.

Purpose: To investigate demographics and clinical features of patients with amelanotic choroidal tumours.

Design: Retrospective analysis.

Methods: Comparison of demographic and clinical features of various amelanotic choroidal tumours based on stratification by patient age, sex and tumour diameter.

Uveal Metastasis: Clinical Features and Survival Outcome of 2214 Tumors in 1111 Patients Based on Primary Tumor Origin.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with uveal metastasis based on primary tumor site.

Methods: Retrospective analysis from Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA, for uveal metastasis clinical features and outcomes based on the primary tumor site.

Results: There were 2214 uveal metastases diagnosed in 1111 consecutive patients.

Pollinator Competition as a Driver of Floral Divergence: An Experimental Test.

Optimal foraging models of floral divergence predict that competition between two different types of pollinators will result in partitioning, increased assortative mating, and divergence of two floral phenotypes. We tested these predictions in a tropical plant-pollinator system using sexes of purple-throated carib hummingbirds (Anthracothorax jugularis) as the pollinators, red and yellow inflorescence morphs of Heliconia caribaea as the plants, and fluorescent dyes as pollen analogs in an enclosed outdoor garden. When foraging alone, males exhibited a significant preference for the yellow morph of H.
