Aberrant white matter function and structure in Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: A study utilizing functional network clustering and TractSeg methods.

Background: Previous studies have documented abnormal functional changes in the visual pathways and gray matter regions related to vision in Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) patients. However, the extent of alterations in the functional and structural characteristics of white matter (WM) in these patients remains insufficiently understood.

Methods: In this study, we employed functional clustering networks and TractSeg methodologies to investigate the alterations in WM function and structure among patients with RRD.

Association of triglyceride-glucose index and derived indices with cataract in middle-aged and elderly Americans: NHANES 2005-2008.

Aim: Explore the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, along with its derivative indices, and the prevalence of cataracts.

Methods: Data from 20,497 participants in the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were compiled. A final total of 4,499 individuals met the eligibility criteria.
