Background And Objectives: To evaluate the impact of persistent intraretinal fluid (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF) on best visual acuity (BVA) of patients with retinal vein occlusions (RVOs).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study observed 92 treatment-naïve patients with RVO during 12 months of treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. Deep learning was used to quantify IRF and SRF volumes, and linear mixed effects regression modeled the impact on BVA.
Results: Average IRF volume declined -923.1 ± 2,382.5 nL from baseline to 12 months ( < .001). Average SRF volume declined -35.4 ± 223.4 nL from baseline to 12 months ( = .139). linear mixed effects regression modeling disclosed IRF≥ 1,616 nL at all time points predicted a -10.38 letter loss at 12 months (95% CI, -14.58 to -5.9 letters; < .001). A similar relationship was not found for SRF.
Conclusion: Persistent IRF may be an important prognostic biomarker for BVA outcomes in real-world patients with RVO. .

Ecological restoration is a leading approach to mitigating biodiversity decline. While restoration often leads to an immediate increase in species abundance or diversity, it is rarely clear whether it supports longer-term biodiversity gains at the landscape scale. To examine the impacts of urban restoration on pollinator biodiversity, we conducted a 3-year natural experiment in 18 parks across a large metropolitan area.

Introduction: The positive impact of youth sport on physical, mental and social health has been highlighted in several research which reinforces further investigations concerning the reasons for dropout of athletes. As one of the most emergent difficulties in youth sports is to prevent athletes from dropping out, it is important to explore what factors play important part in this process. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers and challenges related to sport persistence and dropout.

Introduction: Circadian rhythm disturbances have long been associated with the development of psychiatric disorders, including mood and substance use disorders. Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable time for the onset of psychiatric disorders and for circadian rhythm and sleep disruptions. Preclinical studies have found that circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) impacts the brain and behavior, but this research is largely focused on adult disruptions.

Background: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) (H5N1) has been endemic in Egypt for almost two decades, profoundly impacting both the poultry industry and public health. Egypt stands as a prominent epicenter for HPAI H5N1 outbreaks in Africa, marked by the highest number of positive human cases. Despite continuous governmental efforts, prior research underscored the inadequacy of strategies in controlling the virus spread.

Introduction: The persistence of in the contaminated environment is sustained by tolerance to biocides and ability to growth as biofilm. The aim of the study was to analyze the susceptibility of biofilms to chlorhexidine (CHX) and benzalkonium (BZK) biocides and the ability of natural monomeric stilbenoid resveratrol (RV) to modulate the phenomenon.
Methods: Biofilm formation and preformed biofilm were tested by Crystal violet and tetrazolium salt reduction assay, respectively.
