PURPOSE To evaluate glaucoma prevalence and disease burden across Asian subregions from 2013 to 2040. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 23 population-based studies of 1318 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) cases in 66,800 individuals and 691 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) cases in 72,767 individuals in Asia. Regions in Asia were defined based on United Nati...

We report the results of a submillimeter dust continuum survey of the protoclusters NGC 2068 and NGC 2071 in Orion B carried out at 850μm and 450μm with SCUBA on JCMT. The mapped region is ∼ 32′×18′ in size (∼ 4 pc × 2 pc) and consists of filamentary dense cores which break up into small-scale (∼ 5 000 AU) fragments, including 70 starless condensations and 5 circumstellar envelopes/disks. The s...
