Risk of Corneal Graft Rejection and Vaccination: A Matched Case-Control Study From a United States Integrated Health Care System.

Purpose: Data on vaccine-associated corneal transplant rejections are limited. We examined the association between graft rejection and vaccination.

Design: Matched case-control METHODS: We used electronic health records to identify corneal transplant recipients between January 2008 and August 2022 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California.

Photosensitive Hydrogel-Based Embolic Agent Treatment of Wide-Necked Aneurysms: Preliminary Animal Results.

The endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms has become widespread but may still be limited by recurrence rates or complications. The discovery of novel embolic strategies may help mitigate these concerns. We formulated a Photosensitive Hydrogel Polymer (PHP) embolic agent which is low-viscosity, shear-thinning, and radio-opaque.

Addition of Ipragliflozin to Metformin Treatment in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Subgroup Analysis of a Phase 3 Trial.

Background: This is a subgroup analysis of Korean patients from a phase 3 clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of ipragliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin.

Methods: This multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study was carried out between November 2011 and January 2013. Patients entered a 2-week placebo pretreatment period, followed by a 24-week treatment period with either ipragliflozin (50 mg/day) or placebo, while continuing metformin.

Photodecomposition of o-cresol by UV-LED/TiO2 process with controlled periodic illumination.

This study investigated the effect of controlled periodic illumination on the photonic efficiency and temporal decomposition behavior of o-cresol by UV/TiO2 process in a slurry reactor using light emitting diodes as the light source. Based on the same UV light intensity of 6.7 W m(-2), the calculated photonic efficiencies increased from 1.
