Correlation between ellipsoid zone thickness and the presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits in age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with systemic vascular diseases that compromise ocular perfusion. We demonstrate that SDDs are associated with decreased ellipsoid zone (EZ) thickness, further evidence of hypoxic damage.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of a cross-sectional study.

Risk Factors Associated with Adverse Outcomes after Ablative Surgery for Lymphedema.

Background:  Postmastectomy breast cancer lymphedema poses an important health threat. Historically, physical therapy was the exclusive treatment option. More recently, lymphedema surgery has revolutionized care.

Risk Factors Associated With Postmastectomy Breast Cancer Lymphedema: A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis.

Background: Lymphedema is an edematous condition that afflicts the postmastectomy breast cancer population, with diminished quality of life with substantial financial costs. The factors predictive of postmastectomy lymphedema development in breast cancer patients are unknown. The objective was to evaluate the trends over time in lymphedema development and the risk factors predictive of lymphedema-related events within 2 years of mastectomy.
