As expected, the proportion transitioning to referable disease from no visible retinopathy was far lower than for those with mild background diabetic retinopathy (0.6% vs 5.1% for any referable disease in type 2 diabetes), whereas >20% of individuals with observable retinopathy or maculopathy transitioned to any referable disease at their next examination.
By contrast, the annual incidence of referable retinopathy increased from 2.02 to 3.54 per 1000 people, with a cumulative incidence of 11.64 at four years.
Records from Japan are referable to Clathrus kusanoi; records from the Caribbean are probably of C. crispus.
Fresh Chinese material from Taiwan referable to C. sinensis beginning with two calyx lobes that sustain visible apical tears can be seen in images from the website: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mingiweng/4928220164/ and examples of calyx tearing into 3 5 lobes can be seen in: http://www.plant.csdb.cn/details?guid=photo cfh@5c7f74b1-31df-4c72-a872-a2d446a8fa22.
However, this specimen was later recognized as referable to a spinosauroid from England [12], [14], [63] [64], now called Becklespinax altispinax.
From the first to fourth year, the annual incidence of any retinopathy fell from 124.94 to 66.59 per 1000 people, compared with referable retinopathy, which increased slightly from 2.02 to 3.54 per 1000 people.
No Rhinolophidae or Hipposideridae fossils are known from before the middle Eocene, but fossils referable to both families are reported from the middle to late Eocene of Europe [ 32, 33], including H. schlosseri from the late Eocene of France [ 34].
It was compared with previously-collected material from Olduvai Gorge referable to the same species.
Answering these questions requires further modeling that our results could inform by providing transition probabilities from nonreferable to referable retinopathy.
Pliocene giant varanid fossils from Australia are morphologically referable to V. komodoensis suggesting an ultimate origin for V. komodoensis on mainland Australia (>3.8 million years ago).
