Mean BCVA at baseline was worse among patients with RVO treated with DEX implant monotherapy in the SHASTA study (~20/125) than in BRVO patients treated with ranibizumab in the BRAVO study (~20/80) [ 6] or CRVO patients treated with ranibizumab in the CRUISE study (~20/100) [ 8], and the duration of ME at baseline was much longer in the SHASTA study.
The second, in August 2011, is the ONR IWISE cruise studying the Luzon Strait in the South China Sea.
To determine if optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline or month 3 in the Treatment of Macular Edema following Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety (BRAVO) and Treatment of Macular Edema following Central Retinal Vein Occlusion: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety (CRUISE) studies provides information that predicts visual outcome.
In 2006, ecologist Andrew Thurber, now at Oregon State University, US, was part of a geological research cruise studying seeps on the ocean floor off Costa Rica that belch methane and hydrogen sulphide gas.
The COPERNICUS, the GALILEO and the CRUISE studies also measured vision-related quality of life (National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire, NEI-VFQ).
Note that the definition of macular oedema differed across the studies so this characteristic is not strictly comparable.> -wrap-foot> *In BRAVO and CRUISE studies, this was defined as "Months from RVO diagnosis to screening".

We could actually track those ocean currents and better understand the circulation pattern in the Pacific". Woods Hole is preparing a research cruise to study waters off of Japan, Beuesseler told me yesterday via email.
