Cataract is a common disease of the eye and cataract development is usually a very gradual process of normal aging. Many people with cataract disease can also have pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome, glaucoma and coronary artery disease (CHD). We use the data from the Department of Ophthalmology, Medical School of the University of Patras, Greece. These data contains 2140 Greek patients from the southwestern Greece with cataract disease. In order to investigate the association between any two variables statistical analysis were studied. Considering the binary behavior of the response we decide to use non parametric analysis in this study to deal with the testing the populations mean with different distributions.

Background And Aims: Data on second generation basal insulin (2BI) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) generated by clinical trials still need confirmation in real-world clinical settings. This study aimed at assessing the comparative effectiveness of 2BI [Glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) vs. Degludec 100 U/mL (Deg-100)] in T2D Italian patients switching from first generation basal insulins (1BI).

Background: This study aims to investigate the predictive value of biological and neuroimaging markers to determine incident frailty among older people for a period of 5 years.
Methods: We included 1394 adults aged 70 years and older from the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial, who were not frail at baseline (according to Fried's criteria) and who had at least 1 post-baseline measurement of frailty. Participants who progressed to frailty during the 5-year follow-up were categorized as "incident frailty" and those who remained non-frail were categorized as "without frailty.
