Article Abstract

Metrics of retinal image quality predict optimal refractive corrections and correlate with visual performance. To date, they do not predict absolutely the relative change in visual performance when aberrations change and therefore need to be a-posteriori rescaled to match relative measurements. Here we demonstrate that a recently proposed metric can be used to predict, in an absolute manner, changes in contrast sensitivity measurements with Sloan letters when aberrations change. Typical aberrations of young and healthy eyes (for a 6 mm pupil diameter) were numerically introduced, and we measured the resulting loss in contrast sensitivity of subjects looking through a 2 mm diameter pupil. Our results suggest that the metric can be used to corroborate measurements of visual performance in clinical practice, thereby potentially improving patient follow-ups.

Food intake is a key regulator of the digestive system function; however, little is known about organ- and sex-specific differences in food-driven regulation. We placed male and female C57Bl/6 mice on time-restricted feeding (TRF), limiting access to food to an 8-hour window. Food was added either at dark (ZT12) or light (ZT0) onset for 14 days.

This study investigates how anxiety influences moral judgment processes using event-related potential (ERP) techniques. Participants were instructed to rate their feelings towards other's moral and immoral acts while neural responses were recorded under safe and threat-of-shock (TOS) conditions. Participants reported significantly higher anxiety levels in the TOS context, accompanied by increased non-specific skin conductance responses (NSSCR), indicating heightened autonomic nervous system activity.

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.
