Automatic Segmentation of Exudates in Ocular Images using Ensembles of Aperture Filters and Logistic Regression [PDF]

, 2013
Hard and soft exudates are the main signs of diabetic macular edema (DME). The segmentation of both kinds of exudates generates valuable information not only for the diagnosis of DME, but also for treatment, which helps to avoid vision loss and blindness.

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

Diabetic retinopathy in Greenland and Denmark—Can differences in risk factors explain the lower prevalence in Greenland?

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is low in Greenland. Factors underlying the low prevalence may potentially protect against the development of DR. Comparing Greenlandic and Danish populations, this register‐based study explored differences in risk factors that may explain differences in DR prevalence.

Non‐physician delivered intravitreal injection service: A systematic review of safety, implementation, training and patient experience

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The global demand for intravitreal anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor (anti‐VEGF) therapy continues to rise, straining ophthalmic capacity worldwide. Task shifting from physicians to trained non‐physician healthcare professionals has emerged as a potential strategy to expand service delivery.
