Successful retinal reattachment was obtained in 28 eyes out of 30 (93.3%), and 2 eyes (6.7%) had recurrent RD. Best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) in logMAR was significantly improved from baseline 1.74 ± 0.05 to 0.93 ± 0.04, 0.82 ± 0.05, 0.80 ± 0.07, and 0.73 ± 0.055 at follow-up visits 3, 6, and 9 months and one year, respectively (…[Read more]

Interleukin 10 has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of the immune responses in allergic diseases.

To investigate if genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene are associated with food allergy (FA) susceptibility in Caucasian pediatric patients with concomitant allergic diseases and IL-10…[Read more]

To evaluate clinical response after external lumbar drainage (ELD) and ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) in a cohort of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with parkinsonism (iNPH-P), considering parkinsonism as clinical primary outcome.

Patients underwent long-term 72-h intracranial pressure-controlled CSF…[Read more]

The integrated control of multiple pollutants is a promising approach for efficient and economical pollution reduction. Inspired by the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx by the spray-and-scattered-bubble (SSB) technology, this paper further explores gas phase arsenic and selenium removal ability of this new technology. Ammonia concentration, SO2…[Read more]

3GO is a condition in which hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia co-occur, and these conditions are related to each other and genetic and environmental factors. We hypothesized that common genetic variants and their interactions with lifestyles influenced 3GO risk. We aimed to explore common genetic variants to affect 3GO risk and their…[Read more]

Moth-eye-mimicking nanoprotrusion arrays are typical bioinspired broadband antireflection patterns that improve the transmittance and visibility of optical devices by adjusting different geometrical parameters of nanostructures, such as diameter, height, shape, and periodic arrangement, and widely used in solar cells, electronic displays, and so…[Read more]
