Biological, Clinical, and Population Relevance of 95 Loci for Blood Lipids
TLDR
The results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD and provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD. Expand
Global prevalence of glaucoma and projections of glaucoma burden through 2040: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
The global prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glauComa (PACG) and the number of affected people in 2020 and 2040 are examined, disproportionally affecting people residing in Asia and Africa. Expand
Global Prevalence and Major Risk Factors of Diabetic Retinopathy
TLDR
Longer diabetes duration and poorer glycemic and blood pressure control are strongly associated with DR, and these data highlight the substantial worldwide public health burden of DR and the importance of modifiable risk factors in its occurrence. Expand
Global prevalence of age-related macular degeneration and disease burden projection for 2020 and 2040: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Numerous population-based studies of age-related macular degeneration have been reported around the world, with the results of some studies suggesting racial or ethnic differences in… Expand
Revised formulas for summarizing retinal vessel diameters
TLDR
Revised formulas for summarizing retinal vessel diameters measured from fundus photographs are described, which offer the advantages of being more robust against variability in the number of vessels observed, being independent of image scale, and being easier to implement. Expand
A common BIM deletion polymorphism mediates intrinsic resistance and inferior responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer
TLDR
The results offer an explanation for the heterogeneity of TKI responses across individuals and suggest the possibility of personalizing therapy with BH3 mimetics to overcome BIM-polymorphism–associated TKI resistance. Expand
Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and…

TLDR
Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls, and by contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia forboth sexes, and southeast Asia for boys.

Global prevalence and major risk factors of diabetic retinopathy.
TLDR
The Meta-Analysis for Eye Disease (META-EYE) Study Group’s Global Prevalence and Major Risk Factors of Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetes care, 35 (3). Expand
Superpixel Classification Based Optic Disc and Optic Cup Segmentation for Glaucoma Screening
TLDR
The proposed segmentation methods have been evaluated in a database of 650 images with optic disc and optic cup boundaries manually marked by trained professionals and achieves areas under curve of 0.800 and 0.822 in two data sets, which is higher than other methods. Expand
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants
TLDR
The number of adults with raised blood pressure increased from 594 million in 1975 to 1·13 billion in 2015, with the increase largely in low-income and middle-income countries, and the contributions of changes in prevalence versus population growth and ageing to the increase. Expand
