PURPOSE This study examined how FASTPAC, a fast strategy for the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA), compares to the standard 4/2-dB full threshold strategy in patients with glaucoma. METHOD The author tested one eye each of 50 patients with glaucoma (23 with only relative defects, 27 with at least one absolute defect; age range, 25 to 79 years; median age, 61.5 years) with both strategies using p...

PURPOSE To evaluate macular function in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) by means of multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). METHODS Twenty-four OAG patients (mean age 54.6 ± 9.1 years) and 14 age-similar controls were enrolled. OAG patients had intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 18 mm Hg with topical medical treatment, 24-2 visual field (Humphrey Field Analyzer [HFA]) with mean deviat...

We investigated the ability of the GDx-Nerve Fiber Analyzer (NFA) to discriminate between normal and early glaucomatous eyes among Korean individuals by reviewing the medical records of 217 consecutive subjects: 61 early glaucoma patients, 68 ocular hypertensive patients, and 88 normal subjects. GDx parameters were compared using ANOVA. The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve for eac...

We initiate a study of linear maps on Mn(C) that have the property they factor through tracial von Neumann algebra (A,τ) via operators Z∈Mn(A) whose entries consist positive elements from von-Neumann algebra. These often arise in context non-local games especially synchronous case. establish connection with convex sets Rn containing self-dual cones and existence these maps. The Choi matrix map ...

CpsA, CpsB, CpsC, and CpsD are part of a tyrosine phosphorylation regulatory system involved in modulation of capsule synthesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae and many other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Using an immunoblotting technique, we observed distinct laddering patterns of S. pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides of various serotypes and found that transfer of the polymer from th...
