A READABILITY COMPARISON OF ONLINE SPANISH AND ENGLISH PATIENT EDUCATION MATERIALS ABOUT VISION HEALTH.

Purpose: Current United States national guidelines recommend patient education materials (PEMs) be written at a 5-6 grade level. The objective of this study was to compare the readability of Spanish vision and eye health PEMs to nationally recommended reading levels and to English versions of the same PEMs.

Methods: PEMs were collected from seven online websites of vision-related organizations that provided PEMs with Spanish and English versions.

TLR2 and NODs1 and 2 cooperate in inflammatory responses associated with renal ischemia reperfusion injury.

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are potent triggers of tissue injury following renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). Specific PRRs, such as the toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) NOD1 and NOD2 are promising targets to abrogate inflammatory injury associated with renal IRI. Several recent reports have shown there is crosstalk between TLRs and NODs, which might boost inflammatory responses to tissue injury.
