Incidence of Ultrathin Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty Corneal Graft Rejection following Steroid Discontinuation.

: To determine the incidence of corneal graft rejection in patients with approximately 1 year of steroid therapy following uDSEK. A shortened course of corticosteroids may be beneficial and a viable option in Ultrathin Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (uDSEK).: This retrospective cohort study evaluated corneal graft rejection rate in 170 cases of uDSEK that met inclusion criteria with approximately 1 year of steroid therapy.

Customized recommendations for production management clusters of North American automatic milking systems.

Automatic milking systems (AMS) are implemented in a variety of situations and environments. Consequently, there is a need to characterize individual farming practices and regional challenges to streamline management advice and objectives for producers. Benchmarking is often used in the dairy industry to compare farms by computing percentile ranks of the production values of groups of farms.

Factors associated with increased milk production for automatic milking systems.

Automatic milking systems (AMS) are increasingly popular throughout the world. Our objective was to analyze 635 North American dairy farms with AMS for (risk) factors associated with increased milk production per cow per day and milk production per robot per day. We used multivariable generalized mixed linear regressions, which identified several significant risk factors and interactions of risk factors associated with milk production.
