The preoperative testing of retinal acuity was evaluated using two instruments in each of 35 eyes having extracapsular cataract extraction. Retinal acuity was measured using the SITE IRAS hand-held interferometer and the Haag-Streit Lotmar visometer. The postoperative findings are given for comparisons of final acuity, prediction, and instrument evaluation. The results showed predicted acuity to be within two lines of the final acuity in 57.1% of eyes with the Haag-Streit unit and in 42.8% of eyes with the SITE instrument. The instrument differences were more in procedure than in results.

Introduction: The identification of type 1 diabetes at an early presymptomatic stage has clinical benefits. These include a reduced risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the clinical manifestation of the disease and a significant reduction in clinical symptoms. The European action for the Diagnosis of Early Non-clinical Type 1 diabetes For disease Interception (EDENT1FI) represents a pioneering effort to advance early detection of type 1 diabetes through public health screening.

Ultrafine particles (UFP), commonly expressed as particle number concentrations (PNC), have been associated with harm to human health yet are currently not regulated or routinely monitored in many places. This has limited the potential for studies of health effects of long-term exposure to UFP. The present study aims to understand the spatial and temporal variation in façade-level UFP exposures in Copenhagen, Denmark.
