Effects of disrupting the interaction of murine leukemia virus (MLV) with host chromatin-binding protein on tumorigenesis in MYC/Runx2 mouse model and recognition of chromatin
Creators: name: Loyola, Lorenz M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Murine leukemia virus (MLV) integrase (IN) lacking the C-terminal tail peptide (TP) lose the interaction with the host bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins and decrease their integration preference at promoter/enhancers and transcriptional start sites and CpG islands. MLV lacking the IN TP by altering the open reading frame were infected into a tumorigenesis mice model (MYC/Runx2) to observe integration patterns and phenotypic effects. Viral passage resulted in the restoration the TP onto IN through small deletions. Mice infected with different modified MLV lacking the IN TP- coding sequence (TP-), showed an improved median survival by 10 days compared to wildtype (WT) MLV infection. Recombination with polytropic endogenous retrovirus (ERV), Pmv-20, were identified in seven mice, displaying both fast and slow tumorigenesis. Next generation sequencing of tumors showed an infected mouse (TP-16) without observed recombination with ERVs with less integrations at TSS and CpG islands, compared to the mean integrations of WT tumors. This mouse also has less integrations at Brd4 and BET associated histone modifications (H3K4me1/3) +/- 1 kb from ChIP-seq peaks. However, this mouse succumbed to the tumor rapidly (34 days). Analysis of the four of the top copy number integrants of the TP-16 tumor revealed their proximity to known MLV common insertion sites genes (Hdac6, Ccnd1, Rasgrp1), maintaining their MLV IN TP- genotype. Furthermore, mapping integrations in K562 cells revealed the preference of MLV IN TP- insertions within chromatin profile states associated with heterochromatin and weakly transcribed regions. A decreased number of integrations were observed at histone marks associated with BET proteins (H3K4me1/2/3, and H3K27Ac). The results highlight the strong selection within the mouse to maintain the full-length IN protein. MLV IN TP- showed a decreased overall rate of tumorigenesis compared to WT virus in the MYC/Runx2 model. However, MLV integrations, in the absence of the influence of BET proteins, can still occur at regions of oncogenesis driver genes, either stochastically or through trans-complementation by functional endogenous Gag-Pol. Thus, the modified MLV virus can be a safer vector than the wildtype virus, but it still maintains the oncogenic potential. This study provides new insights on how to improve the safety of MLV retroviral vectors.

description: On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, causing one of the largest humanitarian crises in Europe in recent history. The war has impacted every aspect of life in Ukraine, most notably the education sector. Families who remained in Ukraine have had to adapt to a new education routine under wartime conditions, and those who evacuated abroad have had to navigate an unfamiliar learning environment. Prior to the invasion, the Ukrainian education system was undergoing transformation through government-sponsored reforms. Even though these reforms were in their early stages, they showed positive results within the schools that were selected to participate. But due to the full-scale war, government workers and education specialists have shifted their priorities to more urgent matters, such as supporting humanitarian efforts. As a result of the war’s impact on Ukraine’s education sector, many Ukrainian families abroad have chosen to integrate their children into schools within their host countries. The experiences of Ukrainian pupils in their host countries’ schools vary greatly, but exposure to new education practices within EU countries such as Germany could be beneficial and help to further develop Ukraine’s education sector in the post-war period.

Performance improvement in medical care: do mandated reporting requirements work?
Creators: name: Martin, John Eric
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: BackgroundHospitals have been required to publicly report outcomes of care or costs for many years based on state level mandates. In 2003 the federal government began requiring similar public reporting for hospitals to be reimbursed by Medicare. The goal has been to allow consumer demand to drive quality improvement in patient care and to reduce the cost of care. This dissertation explores the effectiveness of such programs by evaluating inpatient mortality rates and the length of stay (LOS) in acute myocardial infarction and heart failure patients from 1988 through 2006 using publicly reported data and Health Care Utilization Project – Nationwide Inpatient Sample data.MethodsFirst, an evaluation was completed to ensure no endogeneity existed with variables associated with the likelihood of implementing the mandated reporting at the state level and the outcomes of interest. A linear probability model was run with several state level factors as independent variables that were potentially associated with mandate implementation. Factors found to be significant in that model were incorporated into subsequent regression models. Second, regression models were developed to identify the association between the state level mandate and the outcomes of interest. Third, regression models were used to evaluate the association between federal mandates and the outcomes of interest. Linear probability models were used for the probability of dying while in the hospital and Poisson regression models were used for LOS. ResultsFactors that were potentially associated with the implementation of mandates were the state fiscal margin, the average hospital level LOS and the average inpatient mortality rates leading up to the implementation of the mandate. The implementation of state level mandates was associated with a decrease in the probability of dying while an inpatient and a decrease in the inpatient LOS for AMI and HF patients. The implementation of federal mandates was associated with an increase int the probability of dying while an inpatient and an increase in the inpatient LOS for AMI and HF patients. Federal mandates appeared to wash out the positive effect of state mandates in AMI patients.ConclusionMandated hospital reporting can be effective, but be done at the most effective level of government respective level of government.

“Making our own”: creativity, strategy, and authority among black women media makers in New York City
Creators: name: Martin, Marlaina H.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Confounding conventional U.S. discourses that ideologically and structurally associate authority with white manhood, numerous Black women have experienced repeated dismissal in media and broader social worlds, and persisted nonetheless. In fact, legacies of entanglement between U.S. media production and images of Black womanhood have influenced – along with several other factors – many self-identified Black women to create media themselves. This ethnography of production examines how creators so identified utilize imaginative approaches to and capacities of media making as both spaces for reflection and representation, and also as means to mitigate – if not challenge – the implications and effects of mainstream exclusions. Amidst contemporary debates about institutionalized hierarchies including but not limited to Black Lives Matter, #OscarsSoWhite, and Hollywood’s gendered salary differentials, this project follows contemporary Black women creators attempting to balance technological aptitude, emotional sensibility, social awareness, and collective responsibility in their creative pursuits. Overall, this dissertation frames and engages authority not as a given status, but an ongoing technical and socio-affective process of cultivating personal confidence and authoritative praxes, crafting presentations of work and self, and managing various professional relationships and expectations.
Dynamic steganography

description: We introduce the idea of dynamic steganography, which is essentially hiding a process within a process. We introduce components of dynamic steganography. The payload process is the process to be hidden. The cover container is the medium in which the payload process is hidden. The cover process is the process that extracts the payload process from the cover container and executes the payload process as a subprocess. We propose what an implementation could be like using image steganography and subsequently video steganography. The payload process is a set of instructions. The payload process is broken into payload components, parts of the payload process. Each payload component is hidden into a frame of the video. Upon playing the video, the payload process is extracted and executed. In the process, we go over software libraries and file types tried and used. Impediments in the implementations are encountered and proposals for future work are offered.

Jsowerbya

description: Informal group Jsowerbya, Beyregrex Merle, n. gen, Pseudotrophonopsis Merle, n. gen.
DIAGNOSIS. — Shell medium sized for family, biconic. P6 not atrophied. IP, ADP, MP and ABP present. Poorly developed axial sculpture formed by slightly lamellose varices. Posterior sinus of sutural ramp shallow. Shoulder sinus of P1 reduced or missing. ID missing, D1 to D6 present. Columellar lip occasionally ornamented by 1-3 tubercles. Microstructure of three aragonite layers.
INCLUDED GENERA. — Jsowerbya Merle, 2005b, Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. and Pseudotrophonopsis Merle, n. gen.
DISCUSSION
This informal group includes basal taxa often erroneously attributed to the Muricopsinae (synonym of Aspellinae) because of their biconic shape and the presence of 1-3 columellar tubercles or attributed to the Trophoninae, because of the more or less lamellose varices. In the phylogenetic analysis, they represent basal taxa (Clades G, H, I, J, L of Winclada [Fig. 1; Appendix 3] and Clades 44, 43, 42, 41, 40 of PAUP [Appendix 5]). They essentially differ from members from the other subfamilies by having a combination of characters including a posterior sinus, a D6 denticle, occasional columellar tubercles, and by lacking the ID denticle. The primary cords appear late in ontogeny and IP is missing in the most basal species of this group (e.g., Beyregrex sarroniensis (Carez, 1879), n. comb.) from the Thanetian, whereas in the derived members (e.g., members of Jsowerbya Merle, 2005b) they appear earlier, and the primary cord IP is often present. From an evolutionary point of view, members of this group are diversified from the late Paleocene to the middle Eocene with Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. and Jsowerbya. The decline of the group begins at the Priabonian in which only Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. and Pseudotrophonopsis Merle, n. gen. are recorded. Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. survives after the Eocene/ Oligocene climatic crisis and is known in the Early Miocene (Burdigalian) with Beyregrex cedillatus (Cossmann & Peyrot, 1924), n. comb ..

Graphical passwords using zooming

description: User authentication is a process of authenticating a person to enter the system, and with the growing need for digitizing the data, user authentication plays a vital role in any system. Traditional authentication techniques such as alphanumeric passwords can have many drawbacks since they are easy to crack and are not easy to remember. Many earlier graphical password authentication techniques are also not very easy to remember since it involves memorizing many click points. We are proposing a new technique that uses stored images or fractals as graphical password, where the user has to remember a click point at a particular zoom level. This creates a story for the user as the user zooms in or zooms out to reach the password point which ultimately makes it easy for the user to remember the password. We have also implemented a demo system for fractal as well as stored images for the demonstration purposes.
A critique of current pedagogical practice: teaching writing in secondary education

description: This paper explores grading student compositions as an undemocratic and unethical practice that is detrimental to their growth as writers, particularly stunting their ability to take positive writing risks, to self-reflect on the rhetorical effectiveness of their work, and to be mindful of their own work and others’ while trying to survive the competitive nature of education. I contend that disassembling the educational hierarchy through abolishing grades will cultivate a more egalitarian composition classroom whereby risk-taking, awareness of rhetorical purpose, and mindfulness are essential skills in students’ repertoires as writers. I offer an alternative grading system for progressive educators working within the bounds of traditional schools who are striving to meet these humanitarian goals.
Nanoparticle mediated release from polymersomes using ultrafast irradiation

description: The self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers into polymeric vesicles, commonly known as polymersomes, has attracted significant research interest due the broad applicability in various fields ranging from drug delivery to nanoreactors. Polymersomes are fully synthetic robust vesicles comprised of a hydrophilic core and bilayer, hydrophobic membrane; this provides the ability for stable, dual-encapsulation of a variety of molecules within the two regions. While most diblock copolymers yield vesicles that are inherently insensitive to stimuli, efforts have been made to design polymersomes that rupture in response to temperature, pH, and light such that encapsulated cargo can be released on demand. Light is a particularly attractive trigger for initiating cargo release as it can be controlled in a high spatiotemporal fashion and can be minimally damaging and deeply penetrating in biological systems. In this work, methods have been developed for triggered encapsulant release using ultrafast, single-pulse irradiation with visible and near infrared light to provide a non-invasive method of achieving spatial and temporal control. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been incorporated into the vesicle membrane as photosensitizers to allow for wavelength specific vesicle rupture congruent with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the particle. Thus, the encapsulation of gold nanorods provides the ability to shift the polymersome response wavelength to the near-infrared. Initial studies were performed on micron-scale polymersomes to facilitate release studies at the single vesicle level. Additonally, scale down to the nano-regime was optimized for future applications in biomedical systems where diameters range from 80-200 nm deemed optimal for in-vivo drug delivery.
Variably trained generative adversarial networks

description: Since their introduction in 2014, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), have been a hot topic in the AI field. Although the original implementation of GAN is for the generation of images, researchers have progressed beyond that and have created GAN variants that can generate music, perform style transfer and much more. One pitfall of GANs is that they are challenging to train. Many tricks have since been suggested for improved training. In this thesis, we combine these techniques with a state-of-the-art GAN variant in an attempt to improve GAN performance. We implement the Variably Trained GAN (VT-GAN) that combines the features of an Auxiliary Classifier GAN with a deep convolutional neural network architecture, and Label Smoothing and Minibatch Discrimination layer techniques to improve and stabilize GAN training, to generate realistic high quality images. The evaluation metric used is the Inception Score that gives a quantitative value measuring the realness of an image. Although it takes longer for VT-GAN to train due to the addition of complex mathematical operations, for the same amount of training, the VT-GAN performs approximately 3\% better than the AC-GAN with respect to the Inception Score produced.

description: Atari Arcadia is a collection of poems that interrogates punk poetics, art-making, and hybrid identity by indulging in speculation and lyrical impulse. Dressed in the garb of the filthy, fiery, and fast punk aesthetic from which it was grown, this collection uses self-portraiture, ekphrasis, and ars poetica interrogation to navigate the complexities of identity, knowledge, and place without relegating those complexities to footnotes in metanarratives. Furthermore, it attempts to understand how our influences, the art we hold dear, has shaped us, our sense-making, and how we go through the world. By interrogating language and creation of the art-object through a lens comprised of everything from The Blood Brothers to The Departed to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, it attempts to embrace the grotesque, the fractured, and the fast as a means of making sense of the many ways influence, self, and meaning are constructed by us, about us, or for us, for better or for worse.

description: Optical simulators for the Ising model have demonstrated great promise for solving challenging problems in physics and beyond. Here, we develop a spatial optical simulator for a variety of classical statistical systems, including the clock, $XY$, Potts, and Heisenberg models, utilizing a digital micromirror device composed of a large number of tiny mirrors. Spins, with desired amplitudes or phases of the statistical models, are precisely encoded by a patch of mirrors with a superpixel approach. Then, by modulating the light field in a sequence of designed patterns, the spin-spin interaction is realized in such a way that the Hamiltonian symmetries are preserved. We successfully simulate statistical systems on a fully connected network, with ferromagnetic or Mattis-type random interactions, and observe the corresponding phase transitions between the paramagnetic, and the ferromagnetic or spin-glass phases. Our results largely extend the research scope of spatial optical simulators and their versatile applications.

The impact of social media on information processing: is caring sharing?
Creators: name: Waer, Melissa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Social media use is becoming more frequent with people across many ages and cultures. This raises the question of how social media usage affects cognition. Previous research shows that social media may negatively impact task performance across a range of domains. The current studies aim to determine if “shareworthy” experiences themselves may prime social media. In each study, we primed participants to think about social media and included a neutral control condition. After the prime, participants completed a modified Stroop task. We predicted that reaction times on the Stroop task would be slower for social media words after being primed to think about social media. In Study 1, participants read both a set of bizarre stories and a set of stories about finance. In Study 2, participants viewed a set of images similar to those found on social media (the priming condition) and also a set of images of mundane scenes and activities. In Study 3, participants were explicitly primed to think about social media and then took the modified Stroop task. Only Study 2 revealed significant differences in RTs, but in the opposite direction of what was predicted. Limitations and broader implications of these studies are discussed.

description: Engaging young people in health research has been promoted globally. We explored the outcomes of youth advisory group on health and research engagement (YAGHRE) in rural Cambodia. In May 2021, the Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) partnered with a local health centre and a secondary school to establish a youth engagement group. Ten students underwent training and led health engagement activities in schools and communities. Activities were documented as field notes and audio-visual materials which underwent content analysis using theory of change supplemented by iterative discussions with YAGHRE members and stakeholders. Five major outcomes were identified: 1. Increased respect. Engagement activities developed based on input from students and stakeholders may have fostered greater respect. 2. Built trust and relationships. Frequent visits to MORU’s laboratory and interactions with researchers appeared to contribute to the building of trust and relationship. 3. Improved health and research literacy. Learning new health and research topics, through participatory activities may have improved literacy; 4. Improved uptake of health and research interventions. Health promotional activities and communication with research participants potentially increased the uptake of interventions; 5. Improved community health. YAGHRE’s health promotional interventions may have contributed in enhancing community’s health.

Advocating against the grain: examining the importance of local contexts on advocacy behavior among homeless service organizations
Creators: name: Wood, Zachary D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Homelessness is a wicked problem, due at least in part to the disenfranchised nature of the population. This population lacks a voice in the democratic process, and subsequently has little leverage to change the perceptions and conditions they face. Many of our most wicked problems require advocacy that can link the voices and needs of the community to public policy efforts and the public sector at large. Human service nonprofits have direct relationships with the homeless as well as essential links to these local communities and the public sector, and may be an ideal vehicle as advocates while simultaneously addressing homelessness. Advocacy is viewed as an integral part of the function of human service nonprofit organizations. Yet the advocacy road for these organizations is fraught with complexities, often leading to adulterated or nonexistent advocacy activities. Extant literature points to an especially challenging advocacy arena for homeless service organizations to engage in. There are a multitude of barriers: whether due to confusion over the legality of certain behavior, fears of political or funder backlash, or more simply a lack of financial or professional capacity. Given these barriers, it seems that we should see very little engagement in policy advocacy behavior by homeless service organizations, yet there are examples of organizations that break through these barriers to advocate on behalf of their clients in some extensive ways.The research on nonprofit advocacy behavior, particularly in human service organizations, is imprecise and non-predictive. This dissertation looks to highlight and adjudicate the gaps in this budding literature, by examining homeless service organizations in-depth, through a case study of homeless service organizations in Philadelphia and Houston, to better ascertain how local context can explain whether, when and how these service provider organizations will break through the barriers to advocacy. The author also examines the types of advocacy activities homeless service organizations employ, and more importantly, how they make those decisions. The analysis allows for a more refined definition of “advocacy” in the field of human service nonprofits, and also aids in the development of a more nuanced typology of nonprofit advocacy behavior.

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurological disorder affecting 1 in 59 individuals (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018). ASD is highly comorbid with anxiety and core symptomology often also leads to deficits across all domains of adaptive functioning (Simonoff et al., 2008). However, little is known about the intersectionality between anxiety, adaptive function, and the core symptoms of autism. This study aims to identify whether anxiety has a unique impact on adaptive functioning in ASD, and if so, which domains it most impacts. Cross-sectional data (n= 367) previously collected at the Center for Autism Research were analyzed. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS; Sparrow, Cicchetti & Balla, 2005) scores were predicted from the interaction between the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS; Constantino et al., 2000) and the Screening for Children Anxiety Related Disorders-Revised (SCARED; Birmaher et al., 1997) via multiple regression model analyses. No significant results were found, suggesting that anxiety may not play a unique role in predicting adaptive functioning above and beyond core ASD symptoms. Implications for future research, treatment, and intervention are discussed.

COMMENTS
This strange species differs from members of Jsowerbya Merle, 2005b and Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. by having rounded whorls, no shoulder sinus and by having strongly developed secondary cords. Because of its rounded whorls, it resembles members of Nucellopsis, but they are distinguishing by their buccinoid shape and by a later appearance of the primary cords. The phylogenetic analysis (Winclada tree, Fig. 1) suggests that it could represent a stem group of Jsowerbya. We therefore propose the new genus Pseudotrophonopsis Merle, n. gen. as P. defossa (Pilkington, 1804), n. comb. cannot be attributed to Jsowerbya or Beyregrex Merle, n. gen. Pseudotrophonopsis defossa n. comb. occurs in the Bartonian from Hampshire (England) and is known in the Priabonian from the Paris Basin, where it was identified as Fusus sublamellosus Deshayes, 1835. The protoconch of the English and French populations (Fig. 22K) is similar and the teleoconch of the French population is only less thick (personal observation DM). Therefore,we believe that they belong to the same species. Glibert (1963) recorded this species in the Bartonian from the Paris Basin, but we cannot confirm this record based on material in the examined collections (MNHN and private collections). It is possible that this species was mistaken for Jsowerbya depauperata (Deshayes, 1865).

description: Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are a class of chemicals applied to clothing, electronics, plastics, furniture, and building materials to reduce the flammability of commercial products. Over the past 15 years, global use of OPFRs has increased significantly, as they replace other persistent bioaccumulative compounds such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers. OPFRs are chemicals of emerging toxicological and environmental concern due to reports of endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity in animals; as well as their environmental persistence. Although research on the adverse effects of OPFR exposure has increased over the past decade, there are still several gaps in our understanding of their behavior in vivo and their potential toxicity, especially in mammals. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate whether OPFRs interact with molecular targets (acetylcholinesterase, AChE), metabolic enzymes (carboxylesterase, CES), and transporters (multi-drug resistance protein 1, MDR1) that influence their overall disposition and potential for neurotoxicity. The findings in this dissertation demonstrate that OPFRs do not behave like the structurally similar organophosphate pesticides in terms of inhibiting enzyme activity and that OPFRs are more effective inhibitors of CES than AChE. Although, the OPFRs did not demonstrate adverse effects on brain and liver enzymatic activity in vitro, the brain and liver, as well as the kidneys, placenta, and fetus, were identified as targets of toxicity due to their preferential accumulation of OPFRs. Finally, MDR1 was shown to potentially influence the in vivo disposition of TPP in the brain suggesting that MDR1 may protect the brain from TPP accumulation. The results of this study will help guide future research into OPFR-induced organ-specific adverse effects, especially in the brain and in the developing fetus.

description: Purpose: One in four adults in the US suffers from one or more chronic disease. Over half of the chronic disease is directly linked to lifestyle choices, in particular lack of exercise, poor nutrition, tobacco, and alcohol. PAs programs are required by accreditation to include instruction in communication skills and basic counseling and patient education skills. Effective communication between patient and practitioner is the first step toward real behavior change to reduce chronic disease risk. Behavior change counselling (BCC) embraces the spirit (collaboration, evocation, patient autonomy) and specific skills (open ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries) of motivational interviewing in a brief intervention setting known to promote effective change. This project assessed a two-part, 6-hour pilot training program in BCC for PA students to evaluate feasibility of incorporating active/experiential BCC training in PA education. The program consisted of didactic lecture and group activities, role playing, and standardized patient (SP) experiential learning.Methods: Mixed methods, quasi-experimental design was employed to assess process and outcome measures. Quantitative assessment included two-group comparison of both within and between group pre and post training assessment including knowledge (via multiple choice test items), confidence (via Likert scale ratings), and skills (via role playing and SP session). Qualitative assessment included direct observation of organization, flow, and feasibility by the PI; daily and overall student written evaluations; and post-training written evaluations and debriefing discussion with participating faculty. Results: Faculty were invested in the program and assessment and provided constructive feedback during all phases of the project. Students completing the 6-hour training program showed significant within group improvement in knowledge (53.54 pre vs 59.38 post, p=.049) and confidence (6.28 pre vs 7.79 post, p

description: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging field of cancer treatments that are becoming more widespread in their use. However, there are potential ocular toxicities associated with these drugs that ophthalmologists need to be aware of to better maintain ocular health as patients undergo rigorous medical treatment for their conditions. While many ADCs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many subsequent reports have been published regarding additional ocular side effects these drugs may cause. This review provides ophthalmologists with a practical guide on how to treat ocular toxicities associated with all FDA-approved ADCs to date. The potential pathophysiology of side effects is also discussed.

description: There is a lack of long-term and large-scale studies on the adverse effects of soft contact lenses (SCLs) on the corneal endothelia of Asian populations. Here, we aimed to examine the effects of long-term SCL use on corneal endothelial density and morphology. This retrospective study involved consecutive patients at the Miyata Eye Hospital (Miyazaki, Japan), who had used SCLs for more than 1 year. Patients with ophthalmological disorders without refractive errors were excluded. The period of SCL use, SCL type, corneal endothelial cell density (ECD), appearance rate of hexagonal cells (HEX), and coefficient of variation of cells (CV) were analyzed. In total, 17,732 eyes of 8866 patients were included in the analysis (age, 26.0 ± 8.8 years). The mean period of SCL use was 6.3 ± 5.4 years. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that ECD and HEX were significantly negatively correlated with the period of SCL use, age, and sex (p < 0.001 for all). The CV was significantly positively correlated with the period of use (p < 0.001), sex (p = 0.002), and age (p < 0.001). Corneal ECD, HEX, and CV were significantly associated with the period of SCL use in long-term users. It is essential to regularly check the corneal endothelium in patients with a history of long-term SCL use.
