Interocular differences in choroidal thickness and circulation in anisomyopic adults and their association with myopia severity by Chong Tang, Fanfan Huang, Rong Hu, Yan Ji, Yu Gao, Kai Shi, Yuanyuan Wu, Wenjuan Wan

“…The interocular difference in SER was positively correlated with that in MCT, CVV, and CVI (all p < 0.05), and the interocular difference in AL was negatively correlated with that in MCT, CVV, and CVI (all p < 0.05). The multiple linear regression model with generalized estimating equations showed that the interocular difference in CVV was significantly associated with the interocular difference in SER (p < 0.05).ConclusionChoroidal thickness and circulation were found to be reduced in the more myopic eyes of anisomyopic adults. …”

The impact of different types of brain injuries on cerebral perfusion in preterm infants: an arterial spin labeling by Chen Zhang, Wenli Li, Huiying Fan, Ming Niu, Hao Song, Huifang Dong, Qing Yan, Falin Xu

“…The comparison of HP and IVH hemispheres revealed decreased CBF in IVH hemispheres in the frontal, parietal, occipital cortex, as well as in the basal ganglia and thalamus. In multifactor linear regression models, the PMA at MRI scan, 5 min Apgar score, brain injury, and neonatal necrotizing stage ≥ 2 are independent factors affecting cerebral perfusion.…”

Rinse-free deposition of molecular layer-by-layer (mLbL) polyamide reverse osmosis membranes by Samarpan Deb Majumder, Christopher M. Stafford, Xitong Liu

“…By measuring the growth rate of the polyamide membrane as a function of deposition cycles and monomer concentration, we demonstrate that we can deliver a more targeted quantity of monomer to the growing film surface while maintaining a linear growth rate profile. Desalination tests reveal that mLbL membranes produced at the lowest monomer concentration (membrane thickness of ≈20 nm) achieved 99.9 % salt rejection within 4 h, while maintaining a flux of 0.98 L m⁻² h⁻¹ bar⁻¹, indicating that the crosslink density of the membrane remains high. …”

Analysis of inequities between demographic and social determinants associated with overweight and obesity by Pabyle Alves Flauzino, Ilana Nogueira Bezerra, Julia Sichieri Moura, Rosely Sichieri

“…Self-reported weight and height were used to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity, in addition to information on sociodemographic characteristics such as age (continuous), sex (male/female), skin color or race (white, brown, and black), location of residence (urban or rural), and per capita family income (quartile). Linear regression models were used to assess changes in mean BMI according to age and income in each area (urban/rural), stratified by sex and race/skin color. …”
