Time to follow-up of an abnormal mammogram in women with diabetes: a population-based study.

Women with diabetes have a higher breast cancer incidence and mortality. They are also significantly less likely to undergo screening mammography and present with more advanced stage than women without diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine if women with diabetes are more likely to have delays in follow-up of abnormal mammograms, compared to women without diabetes.

The effect of neutral density filters on testing in patients with strabismic amblyopia.

Objective: To confirm if using a neutral density filter (NDF) affects eyes with strabismic amblyopia differently compared to fellow non-amblyopic eyes, and to determine if a similar effect could be observed when using a NDF during peripheral visual field testing.

Design: Prospective controlled case series.

Participants: 19 subjects with strabismic amblyopia with visual acuities between 20/400 and 20/40 in their affected eyes were recruited to the study.

Posterior fossa measurements in patients with and without Chiari I malformation.

Purpose: To determine if there is a correlation between cerebellar tonsillar descent in patients with and without Chiari I malformation and three skull morphometric measurements: clivus length, anteroposterior diameter of the foramen magnum, and Boogard's angle.

Methods: Cerebellar tonsillar descent, clivus length, anteroposterior diameter of the foramen magnum, and Boogard's angle were measured in mid-sagittal T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of 188 patients. The study included 81 patients with Chiari I malformations (CMI).
