Association between Dietary Consumption of Vitamin B1 and Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study in NHANES 2005-2008.

Introduction: One of the most common conditions that causes permanent blindness globally is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The purpose of the present study was to determine the association between vitamin B1 consumption and the prevalence of late AMD in a representative US sample.

Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2008 were utilized for this cross-sectional analysis.

Corneal remodeling after SMILE for moderate and high myopia: short-term assessment of spatial changes in corneal volume and thickness.

Purpose: To evaluate the early corneal remodeling and its influencing factors after Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate and high myopia.

Methods: This was a retrospective study. Pre- and post-operative (1 week and 1, 3, 6 months) corneal volume (CV), mean keratometry (Km), and corneal thickness (CT) were measured by Scheimpflug tomography.

Association between axial length and HDL in children: a hospital-based cross-sectional study.

Background: To analyze the relationship between axial length and levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in children.

Methods: A retrospective, hospital-based cross-sectional research with 69 right eyes from 69 children who underwent health examination by Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital was carried out. The participants were split into three groups: Group A (axial length < = 23 mm), Group B (axial length 23-24 mm), and Group C (axial length > 24 mm).
