The Influence of Pterygium on Meibomian Glands and Dry Eye Parameters.

Significance: Mechanical factors are also associated with meibomian gland dysregulation in patients with pterygium. Dry eye parameters were assessed, and the results support the association between pterygium and dry eye disease.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye parameters relate to the existence of pterygium.

The Association Between SYNTAX Score II and Carotid Artery Disease Severity in Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

The SYNTAX score (SS) and SS II, which include additional clinical parameters, are widely used today for deciding revascularization following coronary angiography.

We based this investigation on the known association between coronary artery disease and CrAD.
