Article Abstract
Background And Objective: Ophthalmologic telemedicine has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of a smartphone-based home vision monitoring system (Sightbook) and to compare it with existing clinical standards.
Patients And Methods: Near Snellen visual acuity (VA) was measured with Sightbook and compared with conventional measurements for distance and near VA at an academic medical center ophthalmology clinic in 200 patients with a variety of different specified preexisting ocular conditions. Measurements of contrast sensitivity were also compared by using an existing commercially available chart system in 15 normal patients and 15 patients with age-related macular degeneration.
Results: Sightbook VA tests were reproducible (SD = ±0.054 logMAR), and correlation with standard VA methods was significant ( > 0.87 and < .001). Sightbook contrast sensitivity measurements were reproducible (SD/mean ratio, 0.02 to 0.04), yielding results similar to those of standard tests (R2 > 0.87 and < .001).
Conclusions: Smartphone-based VA and contrast sensitivity are highly correlated with standard charts and may be useful in augmenting limited inoffice care. .

Correlation between the body roundness index and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional analysis.
Front Nutr

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Lanzhou University Second Hospital, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with abdominal fat, particularly visceral fat, closely associated with its onset and progression. While the lipid accumulation product (LAP) has been linked to COPD risk, it is not sufficient to fully reflect the level of visceral fat. In contrast, the body roundness index (BRI), a more accurate measure of abdominal fat distribution, has not been fully explored in relation to COPD.

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is a well-recognized independent risk factor for numerous cardiovascular disorders and contributes to the increasing morbidity and mortality associated with chronic heart diseases (CHD). This study aimed to evaluate how cigarette smoking affects lipid metabolism and inflammatory processes, along with other related mechanisms, in order to better understand the potential cardiovascular risks faced by smokers.
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the serum lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels between cigarette smokers and non-smokers.

Purpose: To evaluate macular vessel density using clinical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) without retinopathy.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 32 participants (63 eyes) aged 40-60 years who met the inclusion criteria. Group 1 included 32 eyes of type 2 DM, whereas the rest had no DM.
Diagnostic and prognostic value of systemic immune-inflammation index for heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, The Eighth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (FuTian, Shenzhen), Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Background: Increasing evidence has indicated the potential correlation between Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) and the incidence and prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). However, the association remains unraveled in the existing research.
Methods: A literature search was systematically conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from their respective inceptions to July 2024, aiming to identify studies investigating the association between SII and both the incidence and clinical outcomes of HF patients.
Divergent effects of successive drought and flooding on photosynthesis in wheat and barley.

Climate change is leading to increases in extreme weather events, notably increasing both droughts and floods, which undermine food security. Although each stress individually has been well studied, little is known about the response of cereals to successive water stresses, condition that often occurs in real-world scenarios. To address this gap, we have compared physiological responses of wheat and barley cultivars to cycles of drought and flooding.
