Association Between Rate of Ganglion Cell Complex Thinning and Rate of Central Visual Field Loss. JAMA Ophthalmol 2023; 141:33-39. [PMID: 36416837 PMCID: PMC9856692 DOI: 10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2022.4973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Importance Whether rapid ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning during an initial follow-up period is associated with rates of central visual field loss over time is unclear but important to understand because risk of glaucoma progression can help guide treatment intensity. Objective To investigate the association between the rate of GCC thinning during initial follow-up and the rate of central visual field loss. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study assessed patients older than 18 years with glaucoma at a tertiary glaucoma center who were followed up from June 18, 2014, to January 11, 2019. Data analysis for the current study was undertaken in March 2022. Main Outcomes and Measures Initial rates of GCC thinning were obtained from global GCC thickness values of the first 3 optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. Rates of central visual field loss were assessed as the change in central (10-2) visual field mean deviation during the 4.7-year follow-up period by univariable and multivariable linear mixed-effects models. Eyes were categorized as slow (>-1 μm/y) or fast (≤-1 μm/y) progressors based on rates of GCC thinning. Results The cohort consisted of 202 eyes of 139 patients (mean [SD] age, 68.7 [10.0] years; 72 male [51.8%]); 44 African American patients (31.7%), 13 Asian patients (9.4%), 80 White patients (57.6%), and 2 patients who identified as other race and ethnicity (1.4%) were analyzed. The rate of GCC change was -0.56 μm/y (95% CI, -0.66 to -0.46 μm/y) during a mean initial follow-up of 1.8 years (95% CI, 1.7-2.0 years). A total of 163 eyes (80.7%) were slow OCT progressors, and 39 (19.3%) were fast OCT progressors, with rates of GCC thinning of -0.3 μm/y (95% CI, -0.4 to -0.2 μm/y) and -1.6 μm/y (-1.8 to -1.3 μm/y), respectively. The rates of 10-2 visual field mean deviation worsening among slow and fast OCT progressors were -0.10 dB/y (95% CI, -0.16 to 0.00 dB/y) and -0.34 dB/y (95% CI, -0.51 to -0.16 dB/y), respectively (difference, -0.26 dB/y; 95% CI, -0.45 to -0.07 dB/y; P = .008). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, rapid GCC thinning during an initial follow-up period was associated with faster rates of central visual field decline. These findings support use of longitudinal macular OCT scans assisting clinical decision-making for glaucoma and also may guide possible intensification of therapy in high-risk patients.

Detection of Nonglaucomatous Macula Findings With Ganglion Cell Analysis Printouts vs Full Macular Cube Scans. JAMA Ophthalmol 2022; 140:1002-1005. [PMID: 36074490 PMCID: PMC9459896 DOI: 10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2022.3450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
Importance Ganglion cell analysis (GCA) of ocular coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is routinely used to detect and monitor glaucomatous damage of the ganglion cell complex in the macula. The GCA printout provides qualitative and quantitative data about the macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer and a single B-scan of the retina through the fovea. However, the full macular cube scan, including all 128 B-scans, is available for review. The macular cube scan provides considerable information about nonglaucomatous ocular pathology that may be missed if clinicians review only the GCA printout. Objective To determine the frequency and type of nonglaucomatous macular findings that are observable in the full macular cube scan but not the GCA printout. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of GCA printouts and full macular cube scans to detect nonglaucomatous macular pathology at a tertiary care academic center. Consecutive patients undergoing ganglion cell complex imaging during routine glaucoma evaluations over a 1-week period in a multi-clinician glaucoma clinic. Main Outcomes and Measures The prevalence and type of nonglaucomatous macular pathology visible on the GCA printout or macular cube scan. Results Among 105 patients (mean (SD) age, 67 (15.46) years; 63 [60%] female and 42 [40%] male) 201 eyes were imaged (64 [31.7%] with suspected glaucoma, 126 [62.4%] with open-angle glaucoma, 6 [3.0%] with closed-angle glaucoma, and 6 [3.0%] with other glaucoma). GCA printouts and macular cube scans revealed nonglaucomatous macular pathology in 65 eyes (32.2%). Of these, 25 eyes (38.5%) included findings that were not visible on the GCA printout. Of the cases not visible on the printout, 16 eyes (64.0% ) included macular pathology that required further evaluation. Conclusions and Relevance The findings indicate that nonglaucomatous macular pathology may be missed based on GCA printouts alone. While it may be beneficial to review the full macular cube to detect potentially vision-threatening disease and ensure proper patient care, this study cannot determine if this missed pathology affects clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Prior to ~1 million years ago (Ma), variations in global ice volume were dominated by changes in obliquity; however, the role of precession remains unresolved. Using a record of North Atlantic ice rafting spanning the past 1.7 million years, we find that the onset of ice rafting within a given glacial cycle (reflecting ice sheet expansion) consistently occurred during times of decreasing obliquity whereas mass ice wasting (ablation) events were consistently tied to minima in precession. Furthermore, our results suggest that the ubiquitous association between precession-driven mass wasting events and glacial termination is a distinct feature of the mid to late Pleistocene. Before then (increasing), obliquity alone was sufficient to end a glacial cycle, before losing its dominant grip on deglaciation with the southward extension of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets since ~1 Ma.

Abstract
PRCIS Tracking failure frequency (TFF) increases with dry eye symptom severity and in the left eye. PURPOSE Symptoms of dry eye disease are commonly encountered in glaucoma patients and can be exacerbated by topical glaucoma medications. Dry eye disease may influence the reliability of visual field (VF) tests and impact the accurate interpretation of the results. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients at the Veterans Administration Medical Center San Diego completed the 5-item Dry Eye Questionnaire before VF testing between December 2018 and February 2019. VF reliability metrics were recorded for each patient. Standard reliability metrics included fixation losses, false positive, and false negative rates. Gaze tracking (GT) metrics included percent of stimuli with gaze deviations between 1 and 2 degrees, 3 and 5 degrees, 6 degrees or greater, and percent of stimuli with tracking failure (TFF). The use of glaucoma medications and artificial tears was also recorded. RESULTS A total of 494 patients completed the 5-item Dry Eye Questionnaire and VF testing. There was no association between dry eye symptom severity and standard reliability metrics or most GT metrics. However, TFF increased as dry eye symptom severity increased (P=0.015). TFF was also greater in the left eye, which was tested second (P=0.012); no other reliability metrics were related to laterality. Patients were more likely to use artificial tears with increased dry eye symptom severity (P<0.001), but there was no relationship between symptom severity and glaucoma medication use. DISCUSSION Dry eye symptom severity may influence the acceptable range or threshold of TFF when using GT metrics to determine VF reliability. Likewise, the acceptable range or threshold for TFF may be different between eyes.

Abstract
Low and highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs and HPAIVs, respectively) have been co-circulating in poultry populations in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African countries. In our avian-flu surveillance in Vietnamese domestic ducks, viral genes of LPAIV and HPAIV have been frequently detected in the same individual. To assess the influence of LPAIV on the pathogenicity of H5 HPAIV in domestic ducks, an experimental co-infection study was performed. One-week-old domestic ducks were inoculated intranasally and orally with PBS (control) or 106 EID50 of LPAIVs (A/duck/Vietnam/LBM678/2014 (H6N6) or A/Muscovy duck/Vietnam/LBM694/2014 (H9N2)). Seven days later, these ducks were inoculated with HPAIV (A/Muscovy duck/Vietnam/LBM808/2015 (H5N6)) in the same manner. The respective survival rates were 100% and 50% in ducks pre-infected with LBM694 or LBM678 strains and both higher than the survival of the control group (25%). The virus titers in oral/cloacal swabs of each LPAIV pre-inoculation group were significantly lower at 3-5 days post-HPAIV inoculation. Notably, almost no virus was detected in swabs from surviving individuals of the LBM678 pre-inoculation group. Antigenic cross-reactivity among the viruses was not observed in the neutralization test. These results suggest that pre-infection with LPAIV attenuates the pathogenicity of HPAIV in domestic ducks, which might be explained by innate and/or cell-mediated immunity induced by the initial infection with LPAIV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report patients who demonstrated an alteration in the clinical and optical coherence tomography features of neovascular age-related macular degeneration after resolution of endophthalmitis. METHODS Retrospective case series of the subsequent changes in the macula and need for anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who developed endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection. RESULTS The study included seven eyes of seven patients with follow-up ranging between 3 months and 11 years. The vitreous cultures (n = 7) before intravitreal antibiotic injection were the following: culture-negative (4) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (3). Initial treatment included vitreous tap and injection (4) and pars plana vitrectomy (3). In 5/7 eyes, the optical coherence tomography showed resolution of subretinal fluid and serous pigment epithelial detachment, and there was no additional anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment administered. CONCLUSION After successful treatment of endophthalmitis in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration, there was relative involution of the maculopathy and reduced anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment burden in this series.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy for chronic total occlusion (CTO) based on the guidewire manipulation time remains infrequent.
Purpose
We aimed to assess CTO-PCI strategy on the basis of guidewire manipulation time.
Methods
A total of 5843 patients undergoing CTO PCI between January 2014 and December 2017 and enrolled in the Japanese CTO-PCI expert registry were assessed. Their CTO-PCI strategies, procedural outcomes, and guidewire manipulation time were analysed.
Results
The primary retrograde approach was performed on 1562 patients (26.7%). The overall guidewire and technical success rates were 92.8% and 90.6%, respectively. Median guidewire manipulation time of guidewire success and failure were 56 (interquatile range [IQR]: 22 to 111) min and 176 (IQR: 130 to 229) min, respectively. The average Japanese CTO score of the primary antegrade approach with the antegrade alone, the primary antegrade approach with the retrograde approach, and the primary retrograde approach were 1.7±1.1, 2.1±1.2, and 2.3±1.1, respectively (p<0.001). Median successful guidewire crossing time of single wiring in the antegrade alone was 23 (IQR: 11 to 44) min, and that of the primary retrograde approach was significantly shorter than that of the primary antegrade approach with the retrograde approach (107 [IQR: 70 to 161] min vs. 126 [IQR: 87 to 174] min; p<0.001). Reattempt, CTO length ≥20 mm, and proximal cap ambiguity were the predictors of guidewire failure in the primary antegrade approach with antegrade alone, but were not those in the primary retrograde approach.
Conclusions
Although successful guidewire crossing time of the primary antegrade approach with the antegrade alone is short, that of the primary retrograde approach can be shorter than that of the primary antegrade approach with the retrograde approach. Choosing an appropriate CTO-PCI strategy leads to shortening of successful guidewire crossing time.

Abstract
Since its introduction in the early 1990s, layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of films has been widely used in the fields of nanoelectronics, optics, sensors, surface coatings, and controlled drug delivery. The growth of this industry is propelled by the ease of film manufacture, low cost, mild assembly conditions, precise control of coating thickness, and versatility of coating materials. Despite the wealth of research on LbL for biomolecule delivery, clinical translation has been limited and slow. This review provides an overview of methods and mechanisms of loading biomolecules within LbL films and achieving controlled release. In particular, this review highlights recent advances in the development of LbL coatings for the delivery of different types of biomolecules including proteins, polypeptides, DNA, particles and viruses. To address the need for co-delivery of multiple types of biomolecules at different timing, we also review recent advances in incorporating compartmentalization into LbL assembly. Existing obstacles to clinical translation of LbL technologies and enabling technologies for future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of regular post-exercise cold application on muscular and vascular adaptations induced by moderate-intensity resistance training. 14 male subjects participated in resistance training: 5 sets of 8 wrist-flexion exercises at workload of 70-80% of the single repetition maximum, 3 times a week for 6 weeks. 7 subjects immersed their experimental forearms in cold water (10±1°C) for 20 min after wrist-flexion exercises (cooled group), and the other 7 served as control subjects (noncooled group). Measurements were taken before and after the training period; wrist-flexor thickness, brachial-artery diameter, maximal muscle strength, and local muscle endurance were measured in upper extremities. Wrist-flexor thicknesses of the experimental arms increased after training in both groups, but the extent of each increase was significantly less in the cooled group compared with the noncooled group. Maximal muscle strength and brachial-artery diameter did not increase in the cooled group, while they increased in the noncooled group. Local muscle endurance increased in both groups, but the increase in the cooled group tended to be lower compared to the noncooled group. Regular post-exercise cold application to muscles might attenuate muscular and vascular adaptations to resistance training.
