Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vision problems reduce individuals' quality of life, and they also reduce their productivity as workers and consequently decrease their incomes. Most vision problems can be corrected with properly fitted eyeglasses, but many people with vision problems do not have such eyeglasses.

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Objective To evaluate neurodevelopment at 24 months in infants surgically treated for esophageal atresia (EA), using the ages and stages questionnaire (ASQ), and identify perinatal and early‐life factors associated with developmental delay. Methods Infants with EA were prospectively enrolled in a structured multidisciplinary follow‐up program.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the regulatory mechanism of the miR‐128‐3p in diabetic retinopathy (DR)‐associated inflammatory injury. A cellular model of DR was established by inducing immortalized human retinal endothelial cells (IM‐HRECs) with high‐glucose (HG).

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The age‐related decline in accommodative function after the age of 50 years corresponds with an increasing incidence of primary angle‐closure disease (PACD); however, the interaction between this decline and PACD remains unexamined. Additionally, refractive error‐accommodation associations in elderly individuals, which are critical for PACD ...

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment in patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Awareness of risk factors is necessary to reduce or prevent harmful effects of DR such as irreversible vision loss, and to help ensure early treatment.

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.
