Purpose: To evaluate the correlation of central corneal thickness (CCT) with refractive error and keratometry in a group of patients eligible for laser keratorefractive surgery, which may serve as a bias in studies on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement Methods: In a cross sectional observational study, the right eyes of 340 patients who underwent laser keratorefractive surgery during the ye...

Purpose – The paper examines what are the effects of the different types of cross-cultural training (CCT) on expatriates’ adjustment and whether prior international experience (IE) and cultural distance (CD) have a moderator effect on the effectiveness of CCT. Design/methodology/approach – In a quantitative approach the paper examines the effect of four different types of CCT on the three facet...

The Current Comparative Table (CCT) software program enables working biologists to automate customized bioinformatics searches, typically of remote sequence or HMM (hidden Markov model) databases. CCT currently supports BLAST, hmmpfam and other programs useful for gene and ortholog identification. The software is web based, has a BioPerl core and can be used remotely via a browser or locally on...

AIM To investigate the longitudinal change in central corneal thickness (CCT) over 3 years in patients with glaucoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Chennai Glaucoma Follow-up Study, an offshoot of the Chennai Glaucoma Study, was designed to evaluate the progression of glaucoma. A cohort of participants in the Chennai Glaucoma Study that were suffering from glaucoma or were at a higher risk for gl...

BACKGROUND Reports of central corneal thickness (CCT) among glaucoma patients, particularly for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG) and Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG) are scarce in the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) population. The aim of this study is to evaluate CCT in black patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT) in South West Ethiopia. METHODS This was a prospe...

PURPOSE To assess central corneal thickness (CCT) and its associations in an adult Iranian population. METHODS This was a population-based cross-sectional study of adults aged 40-80 years. Eyes with corneal disorders, previous ocular surgery, or trauma were excluded. All subjects underwent complete ophthalmic examination, general health assessment, laboratory tests, and a detailed interview. ...

c p t n i e a d m C i d The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) was a significant predictor of which patients with ocular hypertension are at higher risk for converting to glaucoma. Eyes with CCT of 555 m or less had a 3-fold greater risk of developing glaucoma compared with eyes that had CCT of more than 588 m. In a multivariable model includi...

This thesis presents a novel data model named Content Container Tree (CCT) to enable dynamic web content adaptation for heterogeneous terminal devices. The rationale for the CCT data model is that a web page can be visually divided into several segments and each segment can be iteratively divided into several smaller sub-segments until certain granularity level has been reached; the hierarchy o...

PURPOSE To identify relationships between central corneal thickness (CCT) and optic disc topography, as determined by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), for patients seen in a specialist glaucoma service. METHODS 272 eyes of 144 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG; n = 71), normal tension glaucoma (NTG; n = 50), ocular hypertension (OH; n = 48) and those considered to be suspici...
