Effectiveness of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and variables associated with visual acuity…
2021
Objective To assess the overall effectiveness of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in treatment-naïve patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in a clinical practice setting. Study design EAGLE was a retrospective, 2-year, cohort observational, multicenter study conducted in Italy that analyzed secondary data of treatment-naïve patients with nAMD. The primary endpoint evaluated the mean annualized number of anti-VEGF injections at Years 1 and 2. The main secondary endpoints analyzed the mean change in visual acuity (VA) from baseline and variables associated with visual outcomes at Years 1 and 2. Results Of the 752 patients enrolled, 745 (99.07…
Objectively measured far vision impairment and sarcopenia among adults aged ≥ 65 years from six low- and middle-income countries
2021
Background:\ud \ud There are currently no studies on visual impairment and sarcopenia. We investigated the cross-sectional association between objectively measured far vision impairment and sarcopenia in a nationally representative sample of older adults aged 65 years and over from six low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).\ud \ud Methods:\ud \ud Cross-sectional, community-based data from the study on global ageing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. Far vision acuity was measured using the tumbling E LogMAR chart and classified as: no vision impairment (6/12 or better); mild vision impairment (6/18 or better but worse than 6/12); moderate vision impairment (6/60 or better but worse t…
Customized and non-customized live-born birth-weight curves of single and uncomplicated pregnancies from the Burgundy perinatal network. Part I – met…
2017
International audience; Objectives: To establish non-customized and customized birth-weight curves of single and uncomplicated pregnancies according to gestational age.Materials and methods: We used data for 64,173 mother-infants pairs from the Burgundy perinatal network database (France) over the period 2005-2013. A validated procedure was used to link mothers with their newborns, and maternal and fetal pathologies likely to affect birth weight were excluded. Multiple regression analysis with covariate selection was used to build a customized growth curve with maternal and fetal parameters.Results: Using this methodology, three different curves were generated: an unadjusted curve for birth…
The Boundless World of Cranioplasty: A Multicenter Retrospective Study and Therapeutic Flow-Chart Patient-Specific Based.
2021
Background Cranioplasty is both a functional and aesthetical therapeutic option. In the clinical scenario every cranioplasty's material is potentially qualified to achieve the goal of calvarian reconstruction but there is a lack of agreement about the optimum choice, especially between the heterologous ones. The choice of cranioplasty widely depends on surgeon's personal preferences. In this retrospective multicentric study a comparative analysis of hydroxyapatite or titanium cranioplasties was carried on analyzing the main factors considered by the surgeon to choose a material rather than another one. Our results and data were compared with those reported in the scientific literature and a…
Design approach for high efficiency NFC systems with magnetic shielding materials
2020
The performance of a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna may be diminished when it is placed close to any conductive surface such as a metallic case or a battery. This degradation is caused due to the stray magnetic field created by the eddy currents induced on the surface, which is opposite to the intended field generated by the NFC antenna. One of the first solutions that come to mind to designers when facing this problem is the use of high permeability magnetic shielding based on sintered ferrite sheets. This is a good approach but something that is not generally taken into account is that these materials introduce an additional inductance to the NFC antenna. If the permeability of th…
New Trend to Evaluate the Management of Companies: An Application of the Methodologies of Radar Chart
2014
The methodology of radar chart arises as an alternative answer to traditional measures on management of companies' activities. How to answer to market disruptions? It is a question solved by this methodology, which allows us to measure the management of each area represented on a radar chart by applying principles of plane geometry. In this methodology, a decision on a management area affects to the result of other areas because it has a multidirectional effect. Its application is carried out on a Spanish company.
DEVELOPMENT OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN THE CONTEXT OF DUAL CAREER
2020
The concept of dual careers is based on the principles of the Olympic Charter with harmony of the mind and body at its core. Contemporary education systems are goal-oriented and neglect their responsibility to aid in the personal development of students. The role of sports is not sufficiently emphasized in the educational process. In order to draw attention to these issues, the author has initiated a dual career development project ‘Sports class’ with the financial support of Cēsis Municipality. The project launched on September 1, 2019. The study population was grade 7a of Cēsis Secondary School enrolled in extra physical education classes. To attain the main aim of dual career of combinin…

Chartae Burgundiae Medii Aevi (CBMA). Du parchemin à l'écran
2013
International audience; Produits par centaines de milliers au Moyen Âge, les actes diplomatiques1 sont probablement les sources les plus mobilisées par une tradition historiographique ancienne de plus de trois siècles. Ils ont été depuis souvent édités et font partie des premiers documents médiévaux à être soumis à des traitements informatiques, dès les années 1970, pour alimenter plus tard des bases de données. S'insérant dans ce contexte, lors de son lancement en 2004, le projet des CBMA2 était forcément électronique, mais aussi, développements technologiques obligent, forcément voué à la diffusion libre et immédiate sur Internet. Le projet envisageait la numérisation, l'enregistrement et…
