概括
激光外周 iridotomy (LPI) 在中国的疑似患者中显示出适度的预防性作用. 然而,由于疾病发病率低,不建议广泛使用LPI.
科学领域:
- 眼科 眼科
- 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 全球有数以百万计的患者患有原发性角闭眼镜 (PACG),而原发性角闭眼镜 (PACS) 患者的风险较高.
- 量化PACS发展PACG的风险对于预防策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估激光外周 iridotomy (LPI) 的疗效和安全性,作为预防性治疗中国PACS.
- 评估LPI的长期结果,以防止发生PACG事故.
主要方法:
- 一项随机对照试验,涉及50至70岁的双边PACS在中国广州.
- 参与者在一个随机选择的眼睛中接受LPI,另一只眼睛作为未经治疗的对照.
- 主要结论是72个月的PACG发病率,定义为眼内压力升高,外周前侧或急性角关闭.
主要成果:
- 与未经治疗的眼睛 (7. 97) 相比,用LPI治疗的眼睛中PACG的发生率明显较低 (HR为0. 53,p=0. 024).
- 在19个接受治疗的眼睛和36个未接受治疗的眼睛中发生了主要结果事件 (p=0. 0041).
- 在随访期间没有报告严重不良事件.
结论:
- 在社区查的中国PACS中,PACG的发病率很低.
- 在LPI中显示出对PACG具有统计学意义但适度的预防作用.
- 鉴于发病率低且对结果的视觉威胁有限,不建议对PACS进行常规预防LPI.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.2K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Clinical Trials: Overview
4.9K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Trial and Error and Algorithm
401
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.

Contact Angle
18.8K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Cancer Prevention
8.1K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
