Contributors The following document and appendices represent the third edition of the . These guidelines were developed by the Diabetic Retinopathy Telehealth Practice Guidelines Working Group. This working group consisted of a large number of subject matter experts in clinical applications for telehealth in ophthalmology. The editorial committee consisted of Mark B. Horton, OD, MD, who served as working group chair and Christopher J. Brady, MD, MHS, and Jerry Cavallerano, OD, PhD, who served as cochairs. The writing committees were separated into seven different categories. They are as follows: 1.Clinical/operational: Jerry Cavallerano, OD, PhD (Chair), Gail Barker, PhD, MBA, Christopher J. Brady, MD, MHS, Yao Liu, MD, MS, Siddarth Rathi, MD, MBA, Veeral Sheth, MD, MBA, Paolo Silva, MD, and Ingrid Zimmer-Galler, MD. 2.Equipment: Veeral Sheth, MD (Chair), Mark B. Horton, OD, MD, Siddarth Rathi, MD, MBA, Paolo Silva, MD, and Kristen Stebbins, MSPH. 3.Quality assurance: Mark B. Horton, OD, MD (Chair), Seema Garg, MD, PhD, Yao Liu, MD, MS, and Ingrid Zimmer-Galler, MD. 4.Glaucoma: Yao Liu, MD, MS (Chair) and Siddarth Rathi, MD, MBA. 5.Retinopathy of prematurity: Christopher J.

Mechanism-free repurposing of drugs for C9orf72-related ALS/FTD using large-scale genomic data.

Cell Genom

Article Synopsis
  • Repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene are a leading genetic cause of ALS and frontotemporal dementia, but understanding how this mutation causes neuron death is still unclear, complicating the search for effective therapies.
  • Researchers analyzed data from over 41,000 ALS and healthy samples to identify potential treatments, discovering that acamprosate, a drug used for other conditions, might be repurposed for C9orf72-related diseases.
  • Their findings demonstrated that acamprosate has neuroprotective properties in cell models and works similarly well as the current treatment, riluzole, showing the potential of using genomic data to find new drug applications.

The Morel-Lavallée lesion is an uncommon closed degloving injury that most often occurs in the setting of high-energy trauma and can be associated with other traumatic injuries, including fractures of the pelvis, acetabulum, or femur. The superficial soft tissues are forcibly separated from the underlying deep fascia, resulting in damage to penetrating blood vessels and lymphatics. A fluid collection consisting of lymph, blood, and/or necrotic tissue subsequently develops and is most common in the region of the greater trochanter.

Objective: Appraisals of military service, both desirable and undesirable, assessed via Elder and Clipp's (1989) scale, are associated with psychological distress in veterans. Aging combat veterans (CV) are at increased risk for posttraumatic stress disorder and other psychological disorders yet may underreport symptoms and not seek treatment that could be beneficial. It is unknown whether desirable and undesirable appraisals of military service are associated with mental health outcomes above and beyond typical risk and protective factors, such as age, education, and combat exposure.

Mature cystic teratoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the English literature. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific, and the diagnosis is most often made after surgical resection. A preoperative diagnosis has the potential to aid with surgical planning and patient counseling.

Tropical Data: Approach and Methodology as Applied to Trachoma Prevalence Surveys.

Ophthalmic Epidemiol

December 2023

Global Neglected Tropical Diseases Programme, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.

Purpose: Population-based prevalence surveys are essential for decision-making on interventions to achieve trachoma elimination as a public health problem. This paper outlines the methodologies of Tropical Data, which supports work to undertake those surveys.

Methods: Tropical Data is a consortium of partners that supports health ministries worldwide to conduct globally standardised prevalence surveys that conform to World Health Organization recommendations.
