TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the association of cognitive function and dementia with early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in older individuals using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) and the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors Related to Fungiform Papillae Density: The Beaver Dam Offspring Study
Mary E. Fischer,Karen J. Cruickshanks,Carla R. Schubert,Alex Pinto,Ronald Klein,Nathan Pankratz,James S. Pankow,Guan-Hua Huang +7 more
TL;DR: Wide variability in fungiform papillae density was observed and a number of related factors were found including the modifiable factors of smoking and alcohol consumption including the heritability estimate of 40.2%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraocular Pressure in Diabetic Persons
TL;DR: In this study rates of a positive history of glaucoma were higher in diabetic persons than in nondiabetic persons and the population participating in the Health Interview Survey and higher blood pressure, earlier time of day of IOP measurement, absence of cataract and female gender were significantly associated with higher intraocular pressure.
Journal Article
Changes in refractive error over a 5-year interval in the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TL;DR: Changes in spherical equivalent over a 5-year period were small and much of the myopic change may be related to increasing nuclear sclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signal transduction events mediated by the BDNF receptor gp 145trkB in primary hippocampal pyramidal cell culture
TL;DR: Results indicate that gp145trkB does not require p75LNGFR to form a functional receptor for BDNF in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, as determined by an increase in MAP2 phosphorylation in vitro.
