Journal Article
Pattern of age-related maculopathy in the macular area. The Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TL;DR: Lesions associated with early age-related maculopathy were distributed in specific patterns in specific areas of the macula, such as central, inner superior, inner nasal, inner inferior, inner temporal, outer superior, outer nasal, outer inferior, and outer temporal as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinopathy in persons without diabetes: the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the prevalence of retinopathy in nondiabetic individuals among Latinos of primarily Mexican ancestry is significant, and independent risk indicators for retInopathy in the study population are hypertension, male gender, current smoking status, and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The 5-year risk for AMD declined by birth cohorts throughout the 20th century, consistent with reported declines in risks for cardiovascular disease and dementia, suggesting that aging Baby Boomers may experience better retinal health at older ages than did previous generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation of socioeconomic factors to the incidence of early age-related maculopathy: the Beaver Dam eye study.
TL;DR: An association of education and occupation but not income with the incidence of early age-related maculopathy that appears independent of smoking or vitamin supplement use status is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported that neurons in the brains of Msut2 knockout mice are protected from abnormal tau pathology, and it is proposed that MSUT2 and PABPN1 may act together in a macromolecular complex bound to poly(A) RNA.
