Pulse Waveform Analysis of the Ocular Blood Flow Using Laser Speckle Flowgraphy before and after Glaucoma Treatment by Satoko Masai, Kyoko Ishida, Ayako Anraku, Tetsuro Takumi, Goji Tomita

“…Multiple regression analysis showed that mean deviation was significantly associated with the rate of change in the BOS (p=0.013), age was a significant contributing factor for the rate of change in fluctuation in the trabeculectomy group, reflection was significantly associated with the ATI (p=0.037) in the in the PG group. Both glaucoma treatments can change the pulse waveforms, with MBRT remaining unchanged, and IOP reduction owing to the treatment may contribute to stable blood flow in the tissue area of the ONH. …”

The Impact of Stigma of Loneliness on Psychological Distress in Older Adults: The Chain Mediating Effect by Fan Z, Shi X, Leng J, Cui D, Li D

“…The obtained data were for descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and chain mediation model testing.Results: Stigma of loneliness was significantly positively correlated with loneliness and psychological distress (r=0.61– 0.69, p< 0.01), and distress disclosure was negatively correlated with stigma of loneliness, loneliness, and psychological distress (r=− 0.37–− 0.48, p< 0.01). Stigma of loneliness can not only directly affect the psychological distress of older adults (effect value=0.38), but also indirectly affect psychological distress through the mediating roles of distress disclosure (effect value=0.04) and loneliness (effect value=0.20), and the chain mediating effect of the two (effect value=0.05).Conclusion: The study redounds to the in-depth understanding of the effect of the stigma of loneliness on psychological distress among older people and its internal mechanism. …”
