Application of lacrimal gland ultrasonography in the evaluation of chronic ocular graft-versus-host-disease by Mingxia Zhong, Siyuan Liu, Jinghan Luo, Qin Zhang, Zhou Yang, Shanshan Zhang

“…The thick diameter in lacrimal ultrasonography demonstrated significantly positive correlations with tear meniscus height (r=0.404, p<0.01), and significantly negative correlations with OSDI (r=-0.273, p<0.05), corneal staining scores (r=-0.264, p<0.05), nasal conjunctival staining scores (r=-0.271, p<0.05) and staining total scores (r=-0.312, p<0.05). Homogeneity and parenchymal vascularization were not found to be significantly correlated with ocular surface status.ConclusionThe ocular surface condition in oGVHD patients is worse than that observed in non-GVHD patients. …”

Small sets in convex geometry and formal independence over ZFC by Menachem Kojman

“…We discuss the relation of reducibility between convexity ideals and the connections between convexity ideals and other types of ideals, such as the ideals which are generated over squares of Polish space by graphs and inverses of graphs of continuous self-maps, or Ramsey ideals, which are generated over Polish spaces by the homogeneous sets with respect to some continuous pair coloring. …”
