Purpose: To elucidate the impact of demographics, including gender, race, ethnicity, and preferred language, on regional visual field (VF) loss and progression in glaucoma.
Methods: Multivariable linear mixed regressions were performed to determine the impact of race, ethnicity, and preferred language on regional VF loss with adjustment for age and gender. Regional VF loss was defined by pointwise total deviation values and VF loss patterns quantified by an unsupervised machine learning method termed archetypal analysis.
Purpose: To investigate the contributions of the microstructural and metabolic brain environment to glaucoma and their association with visual field (VF) loss patterns by using advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and clinical ophthalmic measures.
Methods: Sixty-nine glaucoma and healthy subjects underwent dMRI and/or MRS at 3 Tesla. Ophthalmic data were collected from VF perimetry and optical coherence tomography.
Article Synopsis
- - Neuroblastoma (NB) is a dangerous solid tumor in the nervous system affecting children, with limited effective treatments available.
- - Curcumin, a compound known for its anticancer properties, significantly reduced the growth and migration of neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells in laboratory tests.
- - The study revealed that curcumin triggered apoptosis (cell death) in SK-N-SH cells by causing cell cycle arrest and activating specific signaling pathways, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for neuroblastoma.
