Impact of Topical Nepafenac on Macular Thickness after Phacoemulsification with Intraocular Lens Implantation in Patients without Diabetic Retinopathy by Arooj Amjad, Muhammad Shaheer, Hassan Tariq, Ammarah Rasheed Arooj Amjad, Muhammad Shaheer, Hassan Tariq, Ammarah Rasheed

“…Results: Comparison of central macular thickness between groups was significant at (Pre & 7-day post-op) and insignificant at (7th day & 28th day post-op) and (Pre & 28th day post op) i.e. 0.043, 0.834, and 0.084 respectively. However, a difference in mean central macular thickness was significant in all follow-up periods i.e. 0.003, 0.006, and 0.000 Conclusion: Post-operative NSAID in diabetic patients without retinopathy leads to a significant decrease in macular thickness as compared to those who do not receive post-operative NSAID after cataract surgery. …”

Impact of statin use on major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with normal stress myocardial perfusion imaging and elevated coronary artery calcium score by Yi Hui To, Xi Min Tan, Cher-Lyn Low, Htet Htet Min, Min Sen Yew

“…On univariate binary logistic regression, post-MPI MHIS use was the only significant predictor for MACE (odds ratio [OR] 0.355 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.131–0.962], P = 0.042), even after multivariate adjustment (adjusted OR 0.363, 95% confidence interval 0.134–0.984, P = 0.046). Conclusion: Post-MPI MHIS use is associated with lower MACE and is an independent negative predictor for 24-month MACE among patients with normal MPI and CAC >300.…”

The prognostic effect of immunohistochemical staining rates in patients with non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer by Aykut Demirci, Melike Ordu

“…The findings of the multivariate analysis carried out as part of the study showed that older age and higher tumor stage were independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.048 and 7.074, respectively; P = 0.02). Also, higher tumor stages, diameters, and grades were associated with reduced progression-free survival (HR = 0.105, 0.395, 0.225, respectively; P < 0.05). …”
