Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture deep sclerectomy assessment with Ultrasound Biomicroscopy.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of adding Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture to deep sclerectomy (DS).

Methods: Forty eyes with open angle glaucoma were assigned randomly into two groups: Group A: underwent DS with Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture. Group B: underwent conventional DS.

Forecasting the 20-Year Incidence of Dementia by Socioeconomic Status, Race/Ethnicity, and Region Based on Mid-Life Risk Factors in a U.S. Nationally Representative Sample.

Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) incidence varies based on demographics, but mid-life risk factor contribution to this variability requires more research.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to forecast the 20-year incidence of dementia in the U.S.

Restrained Shrinkage of High-Performance Ready-Mix Concrete Reinforced with Low Volume Fraction of Hybrid Fibers.

Cracking due to restrained shrinkage is a recurring issue with concrete bridge decks, impacting durability and ultimately service life. Several scholars' research has proven that the incorporation of fibers in concrete mitigates restrained shrinkage cracking when utilizing high (0.5-3%) fiber volumes.

Non-penetrating deep sclerectomy with the sub flap (Ahmed's) suture: a 12-month comparative study.

Purpose: To assess the IOP-lowering effect of adding a mattress suture (Ahmed's suture) to non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS), in patients with open angle glaucoma over a 12-month follow-up period.

Methods: This is a randomized controlled study comparing 52 eyes with a sub-flap Ahmed's suture modified NPDS (group A) and 51 with a conventional NPDS (group B). Success of surgery was categorized as complete success if the IOP remained between 6 and 18 mmHg without medications and as qualified if topical medications were required.

Sub-flap Mattress Suture With Deep Sclerectomy: A Novel Step.

The study was a prospective interventional clinical trial enrolling 29 eyes from 20 patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma to evaluate the effect of adding a novel simple economical step to nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. We obtained an additional 12.5% reduction in the intraocular pressure compared with the standard surgery.
