To compare the correlation of Visual Analog Scale with pain subsections of Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and Constant-Murley Score in subacromial pain syndrome patients.
Single cross-sectional analysis.
Hospital Rehabilitation Department.
The assessment tools were applied at baseline. Correlations between Visual Analog Scale, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and Constant-Murley Score pain subsections were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficient. Linear regression models were calculated between scales. Statistical significance was set at two-sided
< 0.05.
Forty-three patients were included. Pearson's correlation between assessments was for Visual Analog Scale-Shoulder Pain Disability Index-pain (
= 0.61,
< 0.001) and for Visual Analog Scale-Constant Murley Score-pain were (
= -0.74,
< 0.001). Visual Analog Scale-Shoulder Pain and Disability Index-pain determination coefficient was
= 0.37 and
= 0.54 for Visual Analog Scale-Constant-Murley Score-pain.
Visual Analog Scale showed better correlation with Constant Murley Score-pain than with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index-pain in subacromial pain syndrome patients.

Creating a model to predict Axial Length (AL) growth in paediatric cataract and evaluating influence factors.
Eyes with AL measured at surgery and at least one measurement after a 6-month period, from children with unilateral or bilateral cataract and primary IOL implantation, were evaluated. A "rate of axial length growth" (RALG) was calculated for every single eye using these AL measurements and
age. One average RALG was calculated for All Eyes and for the groups of Bilateral and Unilateral, Gender, Age at the Surgery, different Visual Acuity, Bilateral Excluded and Not-excluded eye, and Affected and Not-affected eye in unilateral, for comparisons.
Average age at surgery from 76 children was 2.83 ± 2.74 (0.11-12.21) years with follow up of 2.84 ± 1.84 (0.52-8.17) years, 29 (37.66%) had unilateral cataract. A total of 357 AL measurements were used, average of 4.70 ± 2.13 (2-10) measurements per eye. The average RALG for all eyes was 4.51 ± 3.06. There were no RALG significant differences comparing Unilateral and Bilateral eyes (
= 0.51), Male and Female (
= 0.26), Age at Surgery <0.5 and >0.5 years old (
= 0.21), both eyes in Bilateral cases (
= 0.70) and Unilateral Affected and Not-affected eyes (
= 0.18). The equation Al = initial AL + slope ×
((age + 0.6)⁄(initial age + 0.6)) estimates ALs in different ages.
A model to predict AL growth in paediatric cataract was developed. Different studied factors did not significantly influence AL growth.

The aim of this study to compare the clinic efficacy and effects of osmotic release oral system-methylphenidate and atomoxetine on executive function in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by a open-label, prospective, randomized controlled trial.
The study was performed by 95 cases between ages 6 and 12 years who were diagnosed as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and also 40 control individuals. In this study, Conners' Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS) was used in order to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment. Executive functions were assessed by the performance-based neuropsychological tests and ecological behavioral rating scales. Stroop test, cancellation test, and serial digit learning test were applied to performance based neuropsychological tests. Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function tests (BRIEFs) were used as behavioral assessment scales.
Among the ADHD groups, a reduction of over 40% in the CTRS subtest scores used to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment was considered to be an improvement, and no significant difference was found for both drugs. Both Osmotic Release Oral System-Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (OROS-MPH) and atomoxetine (ATX) significantly improved scores in neuropsychological tests.
Atomoxetine and OROS-MPH treatments have shown similar efficacy in clinical recovery and improvement on executive functions. selleck However, disturbances in executive functions observed in children with ADHD are persistent despite treatment, when compared with the control group.

To evaluate the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) measurements using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with chiasmal compression and analyze the diagnostic value of a neural network model.
Forty-seven patients with chiasmal compressive disorder were recruited and divided into two groups depending on the visual field defect (perimetric; group 1 and preperimetric; group 2). Fifty-seven normal subjects were also recruited (group 3). Peripapillary RNFL and macular GCIPL were analyzed in each group. A multilayer perceptron was trained using a training dataset and derived a neural network model. The diagnostic performances were compared using the area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) between each parameters and neural network model.
All macular GCIPL parameters, except inferotemporal GCIPL thickness, were thinner in group 1 than in group 2 and group 3, with barely any difference between group 2 and guggest that neural networks may be helpful in the early diagnosis of chiasmal compression.
To investigate associated factors with optic disc characteristics in high myopia patients.
According to the meta-analysis of pathologic myopia study, patients were divided into groups from categories 1 (C1) to C4. The diameters, tilt ratio, and rotation degree of optic disc, and the diameters of parapapillary atrophy were measured among other morphometric variables.
Totally 147 eyes (84 patients) were included. Longer horizontal optic disc diameter was associated with smaller tilt ratio (
< 0.001, unstandardized regression coefficient B -0.59), greater rotation degree (
< 0.001, B 0.01), and longer horizontal delta zone diameter (
< 0.001, B 0.09). Longer vertical optic disc diameter was associated with smaller rotation degree (
< 0.001, B 0.01), longer vertical delta zone diameter (
< 0.001, B 0.16), and longer disc-fovea distance (DFD;
< 0.024, B 0.14). Generally, the horizontal optic disc diameter of C3 and C4 groups was smaller than C1 and C2, while vertical diameter and tilt ratio was greater than in C1 and C2.
