OBJECTIVES To investigate the correlation of visual field (VF), pattern electroretinography (PERG) and Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) results in patients with ocular hypertension (OHT) and early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 72 eyes of 37 patients with early POAG, 76 eyes of 38 patients with OHT, and 60 eyes of 30 controls. ...

BACKGROUND Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides fast scan speed and high scan resolution improving its diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if SD-OCT measurements and their quality score are influenced by pupil dilation. METHODS Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) and optic nerve head (ONH) were measured i...

Abstract Energy transition and decarbonization in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is crucial to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 global climate objectives. This article first highlights serious impact of imminent longer-term threats region caused by rising temperatures change risks. As a shared problem, analyses how countries GCC are individually collectively responding threat,...

•Glassy cell carcinoma (GCC) of the cervix is rare and aggressive.•A few case reports have described a response to intravenous chemotherapy for this malignancy.•This is the first report of a GCC case that responded to a combination of docetaxel and carboplatin.

AIMS To improve the diagnostic power for glaucoma by combining measurements of peripapillary nerve fibre layer (NFL), macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) and disc variables obtained with Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) into the glaucoma structural diagnostic index (GSDI). METHODS In this observational, cross-sectional study of subjects from the Advanced Imaging of Glaucom...

The effect of consumption of fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants on the incidence of gastric cancer is inconclusive. In this prospective cohort study, we report the association of dietary intake of fruits, vegetables, antioxidants, and baseline serum levels of antioxidants with subsequent incidence of gastric cardia cancer (GCC) and gastric noncardia cancer (GNCC). Participants of this study w...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between topographic reduction in macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness as detected with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and visual field defects caused by ischemic occipital cortical injury. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of all patients who presented to our eye institution between January...

Current risk assessments of the likely regional health impacts of global climate change (GCC) are hindered by two factors. First, dose-response relationships between weather parameters and many of the likely health effects have not been developed, and second, reliable estimates of future regional climates across the United States are still beyond the scope of current modeling efforts. Consequen...

In most modern processor architectures, difference in data access time for values kept in registers as compared to those in memory is quite high. Thus, compilers should implement efficient register allocation strategies to improve the runtime performance of the code. Register rematerialization is a technique to improve register allocation effectively by improving spill code generation. It is of...

Vectorization is an optimization technique that has traditionally targeted vector processors. The importance of this optimization has increased in recent years with the introduction of SIMD (single instruction multiple data) extensions to general purpose processors, and with the growing significance of applications that can benefit from this functionality. With the adoption of the new Tree SSA ...
