A CNN-LSTM Combination Network for Cataract Detection using Eye Fundus Images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
According to multiple authoritative authorities, including the World Health Organization, vision-related impairments and disorders are becoming a significant issue. According to a recent report, one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in persons over the age of 50 is delayed cataract treatment.

Improving Adult Vision Through Pathway‐Specific Training in Augmented Reality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional perceptual training approaches are limited by stimulus specificity, treatment efficacy, and patient compliance. A novel altered reality (AR) method is developed to enhance pathway‐specific functions in human adults while performing everyday activities.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1: A comparison between the adult‐ and late‐onset subtype

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 130-137, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction/Aims Although the extent of muscle weakness and organ complications has not been well studied in patients with late‐onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), adult‐onset DM1 is associated with severe muscle involvement and possible life‐threatening cardiac and respiratory complications.

Dynamic light scattering study on phase separation of a protein-water mixture: Application on cold cataract development in the ocular lens [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev E 77, 061904 (2008), 2008
We present a detailed dynamic light scattering study on the phase separation in the ocular lens emerging during cold cataract development. Cold cataract is a phase separation effect that proceeds via spinodal decomposition of the lens cytoplasm with cooling.

OcuPair, a Novel Photo‐crosslinkable PAMAM Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Bandage/Bioadhesive for Corneal Injuries and Temporary Corneal Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A schematic diagram showing the OcuPair adhesive hydrogel formulation loaded into the final delivery device and applied over the full‐thickness corneal wound in an in vivo rabbit model of corneal injury followed by in situ crosslinking to form a transparent hydrogel bandage sealing the wound.

Structure-consistent Restoration Network for Cataract Fundus Image Enhancement [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Fundus photography is a routine examination in clinics to diagnose and monitor ocular diseases. However, for cataract patients, the fundus image always suffers quality degradation caused by the clouding lens. The degradation prevents reliable diagnosis by ophthalmologists or computer-aided systems.

Cataract influence on iris recognition performance [PDF]

open access: yesPhotonics Applications in Astronomy, Communications, Industry, and High-Energy Physics Experiments 2014, 929020 (2014), 2018
This paper presents the experimental study revealing weaker performance of the automatic iris recognition methods for cataract-affected eyes when compared to healthy eyes. There is little research on the topic, mostly incorporating scarce databases that are often deficient in images representing more than one illness.

Risk assessment of accidental falls in patients taking trazodone, quetiapine, or risperidone for insomnia: A single‐center, case–control study

open access: yesNeuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 532-537, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim No consensus has been reached on the association between the risk of falls and antipsychotic and antidepressant drug use. In this study, we evaluated the risk of falls with trazodone, risperidone, and quetiapine, which are recommended for use at Kanazawa Medical University Hospital.
