Int Ophthalmol 2021 Jan 26;41(1):107-112. Epub 2020 Aug 26.

The State Hospital of Bayburt, Bayburt, Turkey.

Aim: To evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM) patients, and their relations with visual acuity.

Method: Fifty-seven IERM and 51 control patients were included. All patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination and complete blood count tests, and NLR and PLR values were calculated. Patients with IERM were compared with the control group, and associations with visual prognosis were evaluated. These ratios' cut-off values for IERM were also calculated RESULTS: NLR values were statistically significantly higher in the IERM group than in the control group (p = 0.001). No significant difference was observed between the IERM and control groups in terms of PLR (p = 0.43). No significant correlation was determined between visual acuity and NLR or PLR (r = 0.05, p = 0.66; and r = 0.18, p = 0.16, respectively). The cut-off value for NLR was 1.91.

Conclusion: Patients with IERM showed significantly increased NLR compared to control subjects suggesting that IERM patients may be prone to have high NLR values.

Modeling the risk of wrong-way driving at the exit ramp terminals of partial cloverleaf interchanges.

Authors:
Md Atiquzzaman Huaguo Zhou

J Safety Res 2022 Jun 22;81:249-258. Epub 2022 Mar 22.

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Auburn University, 108D Ramsay Hall, Auburn, AL 36849, United States. Electronic address:

Introduction: Partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchanges with closely spaced parallel entrance and exit ramps are more prone to wrong-way driving (WWD) compared to other interchange types. In this study, a logistic regression model was developed to predict the risk of WWD at the exit ramp terminals of parclo interchanges.

Method: The logistic regression model was developed using Firth's penalized likelihood techniques based on the predictor variables such as exit ramp geometric design features, wrong-way related traffic control devices, area type, and traffic volume. Read More
