Background: A wealth of clinically relevant information is only obtainable within unstructured clinical narratives, leading to great interest in clinical natural language processing (NLP). While a multitude of approaches to NLP exist, current algorithm development approaches have limitations that can slow the development process. These limitations are exacerbated when the task is emergent, as is the case currently for NLP extraction of signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Methods: Patients (18-80 years) with glaucoma and suspects were enrolled. IH IOP and GAT were taken by an OP at 2 h intervals from 8 AM to 4 PM on Day 1 and PT between 6 AM and 9 PM, for the next 2 days.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of surgical treatments for uveitic glaucoma (UG) and steroid-induced glaucoma (SIG) in children, focusing on intraocular pressure control, visual acuity, and surgery failure rates.
- 12 cases of UG and 40 cases of SIG underwent primary trabeculectomy, and results showed no significant differences in IOP control, visual acuity, and medication needs between the two groups; however, UG patients had worse visual outcomes at the last visit.
- The research found that younger age and male gender were associated with higher failure rates, while preoperative uveitic attacks seemed to offer some protective benefits, although the overall outcomes were similar for both UG and SIG after normal trabeculect
Objective: To evaluate the association of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severity of infection with longer-term glycemic control and weight in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the U.S.
Research Design And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using longitudinal electronic health record data of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C).
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of shallow anterior chamber in the early postoperative period following Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation and its effect on the hypertensive phase (HP), intermediate-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control, and success rate.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 369 eyes of 360 patients who underwent AGV implantation between January 2005 and January 2020 with a minimum follow-up of 2 months was performed. Twenty-six patients developed shallow anterior chamber (AC) within 8 weeks following surgery (cases).
