Prior to the first injection, patient demographics, gender, age, presence of trigger zone, side of involvement, and the nerve branch involved were also recorded.
CMVR zone or area of involvement was not found to be associated with the duration of IRU development from initiation of HAART.
CMVR characteristics (zone and area of involvement) were not found to be associated with the development of complications (p = 0.534 and p = 0.715, respectively).
Clinical data obtained included patient demographics (age, gender and ethnicity); duration between HIV, CMVR and IRU diagnoses; BCVA at presentation and at 6 months; corresponding CD4 counts and CD4/CD8 ratios; duration from initiation of HAART to IRU development; presenting signs and symptoms; CMVR zone and area of involvement; IRU severity and location; and treatment regimes.
In line with our hypothesis on the cellular importance of central zones, the involvement of those zones in signal transduction and disease pathways is also increased (Table 9).
The slides with tissues of MCL were evaluated for the pattern of involvement (mantle zone, nodular, or diffuse), as previously described [ 6].
In contrast, classification of the lymph node stations into 6 separate 'zones' identified survival differences based on the degree and location of zone involvement (Table 3).
The chi- square test was used to compare the proportion of images demonstrating different scores of involvement for each zone of the lungs depicted by MRI and CT.
For patients with MCL, the patterns of involvement included mantle zone (11 cases), nodular (12 cases), and diffuse (16 cases).
In our study, the patterns of involvement included mantle zone (11 cases), nodular (12 cases), and diffuse (16 cases), but we failed to proceed with the analysis due to semi-complete clinical data.
Occlusion of the entire retinal vasculature occurred in 4/7 (57%) of immunocompetent patients despite lack of Zone I involvement, and rubeosis occurred in three, disc neovascularization in one, and vitreous hemorrhage in two patients.
