Significance: Evaluating the visual challenges and refractive correction solutions of presbyopic orienteers identifies features of relevance to optometric management of the visual needs of active presbyopes.
Purpose: Orienteering is a unique sport requiring visual clarity at a range of viewing distances and has a high proportion of presbyopic participants. This study evaluates the vision corrections used by presbyopic orienteers, specifically aiming to characterize the prevalence of different vision correction options used and to explore the strengths and limitations of different vision correction solutions.
The emergence of the earliest cell lineages in mammalian embryos is a complex process that utilizes an extensive network of chromatin regulators, transcription factors, cell polarity regulators, and cellular signaling pathways. These factors and pathways operate over a protracted period of time as embryos cleave, undergo compaction, and form blastocysts. The first cell fate specification event separates the pluripotent inner cell mass from the trophectoderm lineage.

- This study looks at how antral follicles (tiny sacs that hold eggs) grow in female monkeys called rhesus macaques, which helps scientists understand reproduction better.
- Researchers used a special technique called RNA sequencing to check changes in genes in different cells during the growth of these follicles.
- They found that only a few genes changed, mainly showing that some genes decreased in granulosa cells (supporting cells) and increased in cumulus cells (cells around the egg), giving clues about how these cells work together.
Background: In the Military Health System (MHS), women with breast cancer may undergo surgical treatment in military hospitals (direct care) or in the civilian setting via the insurance benefit (private sector care). We conducted this study to determine immediate breast reconstruction rates among women undergoing mastectomy for cancer in the MHS by setting of care.
Methods: Using the linked Department of Defense's Central Cancer Registry and MHS Data Repository, the Department of Defense's medical claims database, we identified adult women who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer from 1998 to 2014.
