Abstract Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative retinal disorder and a leading cause of global visual impairment, yet effective treatments remain limited. While gastritis is a prevalent clinical condition among older populations and has been associated with adverse effects on the central nervous system, its potential association with ...

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Vortex Veins in the Macula [PDF]
A 54-year-old man with diabetes mellitus had abnormal choroidal vessels in the right eye. Whirled tributaries, the choroidal part of the vortex vein, and the scleral canal beneath the central foveal area were visible. This is a rare case of vortex veins in the macula.

The ‘Great Frost’ of 1708–9 in Britain and the Condescensions of Posterity
Abstract This article explores the ‘great frost’ of 1709 and its impact on economic life in Britain, challenging a popular view that, based on gross domestic product (GDP) estimates, it was catastrophic. It shows that the annual GDP figures for the period have such wide error margins that they cannot establish the scale of the disruption; that the ...

MAFF Expression Reshapes Key Stress-Response Proteins During Light-Induced Injury
MAFF is a small MAF family transcription factor involved in antioxidant signaling and cytoprotective gene regulation. MAFF is differentially expressed across retinal regions, with particularly low expression in macular Müller cells, which play a central ...

Interpreting the structure–function relationship in high myopia‐associated glaucoma: A review
Abstract Visual field (VF) interpretation in high myopia‐associated glaucoma (HMG) is challenging due to frequent structure–function discordance and coexisting myopia‐related changes. These changes may reduce the reliability of conventional structure–function mapping and increase the risk of misclassifying non‐glaucomatous VF abnormalities as ...
