Methods: Eligibility criteria for CAPT required 10 or more large ( 125 μm) drusen in each eye. Readers graded baseline photographs from all participants and all follow-up photographs from 402 untreated eyes. Drusen and pigment characteristics were used to assign the AREDS scale score. Choroidal neovascularization was identified from fluorescein angiograms. Geographic atrophy involving the macul...

The research community has long studied computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) methods in non-native speech. Researchers focused on studying various model architectures, such as Bayesian networks and deep learning methods, well the analysis of different representations speech signal. Despite significant progress recent years, existing CAPT are not able to detect errors with high accura...

Primary aldosteronism is a disorder with hypertension, hypokalemia, increased plasma aldosterone, and suppressed renin activity. A random plasma aldosterone/renin activity (PA/PRA) >65 (conventional units ratio [CUR] >30) has been proposed as a screening test. We have retrospectively determined the value of the post-captopril plasma aldosterone/renin activity (CAPT PA/PRA) test for the diagnosi...

OBJECTIVE To develop a risk score for developing geographic atrophy (GA) involving easily obtainable information among patients with bilateral large drusen. DESIGN Cohort study within a multicenter randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS We included 1052 participants with ≥ 10 large (>125 μm) drusen and visual acuity ≥ 20/40 in each eye. METHODS In the Complications of Age-related Macular...

In this paper we report on a study that was carried out to obtain an inventory of segmental errors in the Dutch of adult learners with different mother tongues (L1s). The errors observed were subsequently examined in detail to select a number of errors that should receive priority in Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) for Dutch as L2.
