    Abstract Serving as a practical guide to the ocular imaging modalities that are currently available to eye care providers for the care of glaucoma patients, this book provides information on advances in ocular imaging and their applications in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Each chapter introduces the imaging modality, highlight its strengths and weaknesses for clinical care, and discuss its integration into the clinical examination and decision-making process. The chapters also provide an in-depth description of the interpretation of images from each imaging modality. When appropriate, the chapters will summarize past and ongoing research and propose future research directions and clinical applications. This title will appeal to ophthalmologists and optometrists at all levels, from trainees to experienced clinicians looking to learn new and important information.

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of comprehensive eye examinations in multiethnic preschool children, including children with visually significant eye conditions, and identify factors associated with comprehensive eye examinations.
    Methods: A sample of 9,197 African American, Hispanic, Asian American, and non-Hispanic White children aged 6-72 months was recruited for the Multi-Ethnic Pediatric Eye Disease Study from 2003 to 2011. Logistic regression performed in 2022 identified independent factors associated with parent-reported history of comprehensive eye examinations. The proportion of children with previous comprehensive eye examinations and the proportion with undetected amblyopia or strabismus were measured.
    Results: The prevalence of comprehensive eye examinations was 6.3% overall and 38.3%, 24.8%, 19.1%, 15.1%, and 9.8% among children with strabismus, amblyopia, significant anisometropia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, respectively. Children without prior comprehensive eye examinations were more likely to have undetected amblyopia or strabismus than those with comprehensive eye examination history (
    Conclusions: Comprehensive eye examinations were uncommon among preschool children, including those with treatable vision disorders. Interventions, such as parent education and vision insurance, are needed to imaprove comprehensive eye examination access and utilization for at-risk preschool children.

    Abstract Importance: Refractive error remains the largest cause of correctable visual impairment in the US. Correction of refractive error will reduce visual impairment and its associated morbidity but also improve quality of life and productivity.
    Objective: To determine the burden of and risk factors (RFs) associated with any uncorrected refractive error (UCRE) and unmet refractive need (URN) in a population-based sample of African American adults.
    Design, setting, and participants: This cross-sectional study, conducted from April 2014 to April 2018, included a population-based sample of self-identified African American participants 40 years and older from 30 contiguous census tracts in Inglewood, California. Participants underwent a complete ophthalmic examination and an in-home-administered questionnaire to assess sociodemographic, lifestyle, biological, medical, and health care and eye care usage RFs associated with UCRE and URN. Measurements of visual acuity (VA) were performed using a standard Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study protocol. Noncycloplegic automated refraction with supplemental subjective refraction was performed. UCRE was defined as an improvement of 2 or more lines with refraction in the better-seeing eye. URN was defined as an improvement of 2 or more lines with refraction in the better-seeing eye in those persons who were visually impaired. Sex- and age-specific burden of UCRE and URN were calculated, and multiple regression analyses were used to identify independent RFs. Study data were analyzed from May 2018 to December 2023.
    Exposures: Presence or absence of correctable refractive error.
    Main outcomes and measures: Self-reported sex- and age-specific prevalence of and risk indicators of UCRE and URN.
    Results: Of the 7957 eligible participants in the African American Eye Disease Study (AFEDS), 6347 (80%) completed both the in-home interview and the clinical examination. Of these, 6337 participants (mean [SD] age, 61 [11] years; 3997 female [63%]) with complete refractive error data were included in the analysis. Refractive error-related correctable visual impairment was present in over two-thirds of participants with visual impairment (68.7%). The overall prevalence of any UCRE was 14.6% (925 of 6337), and the overall prevalence of any URN was 5.4% (URN1 [those with presenting VA of worse than 20/40 in the better-seeing eye but who could achieve 20/40 or better with correction], 157 of 2893; URN2 [those with presenting VA of worse than 20/40 in the better-seeing eye but who could achieve an improvement of 2 or more lines with refractive correction], 155 of 2891).
    Conclusions and relevance: Results of this cross-sectional study suggest a high burden of refractive error-associated correctable refractive error in African American adults, making it the leading cause of visual impairment in this population. Providing universal coverage for vision care and prescription glasses is an affordable and achievable health care intervention that could reduce the burden of visual impairment in African American adults by over two-thirds and likely raise the quality of life and work productivity, especially in this vulnerable minority population.

    Abstract Halotolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms utilized to mitigate the biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. The areas of Sundarban mangroves of West Bengal, India have been reported to be rich in halotolerant microflora, yet major area remains unexplored. The present study, therefore, aims to map down the region-specific native microbial community potent of salt tolerance, plant growth promoting (PGP) activity and antagonistic activity against fungal pathogens. Bacterial samples were isolated from the saline soil of the Sundarban mangroves. A total of 156 bacterial samples were isolated and 20 were screened for their salt tolerance potential. These isolates were characterised using morphological, biochemical, and molecular approaches. Based on 16s rRNA sequencing, they were classified into 4 different genera, including
