The current study utilized the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) to examine the effects of predictability and parafoveal preview on reading behavior of developing readers. Participants ranging in age from 6- to 12-years-old read target words placed in a predictable or neutral context. Target words were manipulated to give either a valid identity preview, a visually similar preview that provided partial letter identity information, or a visually dissimilar preview where all of the letters were substituted. Developing readers fixated for a shorter duration on words in a predictable context. Furthermore, they showed significant preview effects and gained the most preview benefit from a full valid preview of the target word, especially within a predictable context. More skilled readers received more parafoveal information and relied less on context than less skilled readers. Implications for models of eye-movement control are discussed.

Anatomy-driven segmentation of parafoveal optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures may improve associations with clinical outcomes in multiple sclerosis.

J Neurol

January 2025

Jacobs Comprehensive MS Treatment and Research Center, Department of Neurology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY, USA.

Background: Previous investigations on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in multiple sclerosis (MS) focused on generalizable macular and peri-papillary regions without considering the anatomic variations of the retinal layer thickness.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the utility of parafoveal retinal layer thickness measured by OCT, underscoring its relationships with clinical outcomes in MS.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 214 people with MS (pwMS) and 57 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled.

Microcirculatory parameters as risk factors for predicting progression of posterior staphyloma in highly myopic eyes: a case-control study.

Eye Vis (Lond)

December 2024

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Retinal Functions and Diseases, Tianjin Branch of National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Disease, Eye Institute and School of Optometry, Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital, Tianjin, China.

Background: To assess the rate of macular blood flow decreasing in adults with and without posterior staphyloma (PS) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to identify risk factors associated with PS progression.

Methods: This longitudinal case-control study enrolled 122 eyes of 122 patients-64 patients with PS (PS group) and 58 patients without PS (NPS group). Participants underwent OCTA and clinical examinations at least twice, and those followed for at least one year were included in the analysis.

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: To present a first principle-based, high-fidelity computational model for predicting full three-dimensional (3D) and time-resolved retinal microvascular hemodynamics taking into consideration the flow and deformation of individual blood cells.

Methods: The computational model is a 3D fluid-structure interaction model based on combined finite volume/finite element/immersed-boundary methods. Three in silico microvascular networks are built from high-resolution in vivo motion contrast images of the superficial capillary plexus in the parafoveal region of the human retina.

Article Synopsis
  • Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) helps visualize the retinal blood vessels, making it crucial for identifying diabetic retinopathy features.
  • The study focused on using OCTA to find early biomarkers that can indicate how well patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) respond to treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR).
  • Results showed that good responders had better visual acuity, thinner central macular thickness, and higher foveal vascular density compared to poor responders, suggesting these factors could help predict treatment outcomes.
