Article Synopsis
- Machine learning analysis of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and vessel density (VD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) shows promise for diagnosing lupus nephritis (LN) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- A study analyzed data from 81 SLE patients, identifying significant RNFL and VD factors and developing a random forest diagnostic model that demonstrated high accuracy and reliability.
- Key variables that contributed to the model's success included various vessel densities and RNFL measurements, suggesting they could serve as diagnostic indicators for LN.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to characterize and compare the longitudinal changes of macular vessel density (VD) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes across different disease stages.
Methods: This is a sub-analysis of a prospective cohort study. A total of 103 eyes (53 eyes in the mild stage, 50 eyes in the moderate-to-advanced stage) of 75 POAG patients followed for more than 1 year with at least 2 qualified optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) images were included.
Purpose: To explore the association between constitution types as defined by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and risk for normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).
Design: Population-based cohort study.
Methods: Persons were identified in a population cohort aged ≥30 years with NTG, defined as having an untreated mean intraocular pressure measurement ≤21 mm Hg over six separate occasions, with no single reading >24 mm Hg (as in the Collaborative Normal Tension Glaucoma Study).
Background: Exercise is widely known to lower intraocular pressure and increase ocular blood flow, which may be beneficial for glaucoma management. However, there are few studies that have reported on the relationship between exercise and glaucoma progression. The aim of our study was to investigate the exercise habits of those with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and its association with the progression of visual field (VF) loss.

Methods: This is a longitudinal cohort study. All patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) were recruited from the Wenzhou Glaucoma Progression Study.
