TNF and Non-TNF Inhibitors Display Comparable Effectiveness for Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment – Rheumatology Advisor

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) have comparable effectiveness to non-TNFis in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to study data published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

Investigators extracted data from the Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America RA Registry, a large healthcare database of patients with RA in the United States. Adult patients with clinician-diagnosed RA and a Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) >2.8 were eligible for inclusion in the study. Patients who were initiated with a first-line TNFi or non-TNFi between 2001 and 2018 were enrolled. Patients with prior exposure to a biologic or targeted synthetic DMARD were excluded from the study. Baseline clinical and demographic characteristics were collected before treatment initiation. The primary outcome was change in CDAI at 1 year after initiation of TNFi or non-TNFi. Low disease activity was defined as CDAI 10; remission was defined as CDAI 2.8. Secondary end points included various patient-reported outcomes, such as quality of life, quality of sleep, fatigue, and morning stiffness. Groups were propensity score-matched at baseline. Random effect regression models were used to compare outcome measures between the TNFi and non-TNFi treatment groups.

The study cohort included 4816 individuals, among whom 4186 were with initiated a TNFi and 630 with a non-TNFi. The mean age of patients in the TNFi and non-TNFi groups were 56.912.7 years and 62.713.0 years, respectively. A majority of the TNFi and non-TNFi groups were women (76.5% and 79.8%, respectively).

Overall, both groups had significant improvements in RA symptoms and patient-reported quality of life. At 1 year, similar proportions of the TNFi and non-TNFi groups achieved low disease activity (39.9% and 41.6%, respectively; P =.87) and remission (17.6% vs 16.3%; P =.26). Both groups also had comparable improvements in mean changes in CDAI (P =.16), Health Assessment Questionnaire scores (P =.07), and patient-reported morning stiffness (P =.29) and fatigue (P =.42). After propensity matching, the TNFi vs non-TNFi groups had lower incidence of anemia (19.04 vs 24.01 cases per 100 person-years, respectively; P =.03). However, the 2 groups did not significantly differ on other outcomes.

Results indicated that both TNFi and non-TNFi treatment may be appropriate after the failure to respond to csDMARDs.

The findings of no significant differences in outcomes between first-line TNF and first-line non-TNF groups support RA guidelines which recommend [individualized] care based on clinical judgement and consideration of patient preferences, the investigators concluded.

Treat Arthritis and Joint Pain with Swami Ramdev’s effective yoga asanas – India TV News

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Arthritis and joint pain become very common as one age. From feeling the pain while sitting or standing to swellings in the joint, people are increasingly suffering from joint pain. Neck, back, knee, wrists pain have become overtly common during the lockdown because of long working hours. Sitting in one position for work for long hours is also a reason for people suffering from arthritis.

Arthritis isof two types. One is osteoarthritis that results from the breakdown of the cartilage and the other is rheumatoid arthritis which is caused by weak immunity. The reason behind all this is the lack of exercise and a bad lifestyle. Swami Ramdev, in a special show on India TV, shares effective yoga asanas and pranayamas that are effective in treating Arthritis and joint pain.

Swami Ramdev claims that sukshma vyayamas are very effective in keeping the joints flexible and protects the body from arthritis. He suggests doing yoga asanas like tadasanas, chakki asana, sthit konasana, makrasana, bhujangasana, markatasana, setubandh asana and uttanpadasana to treat neck, back and knee pain.

Swami Ramdev says that pranayamas maintain proper blood circulation in the body which helps keep our organs healthy. He suggests starting the day with surya namaskar and then perform pranayamas like kapalbhati, anulom vilom, and bhastrika for effective results. He says that one can do kapalbhati for half an hour to one hour. He also suggests increasing the number of pranayamas every week as your body gets used to it.

Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms: The warning sign on your skin to watch out for – Express

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

It adds: "Controlling the rash or ulcers requires controlling the underlying inflammation."

According to the NHS, treatments can help reduce inflammation in the joints, relieve pain, prevent or slow down joint damage, reduce disability and enable you to be as active as possible.

"If you've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, you'll usually be offered a combination of DMARD tablets as part of your initial treatment," explains the health body.

These medicines ease the symptoms of the condition and slow down its progression.

It's also important to ensure your overall diet is still healthy and balanced.

"A Mediterranean-style diet, which is based on vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish and unsaturated fats such as olive oil, is recommended," says the NHS.

There's also some evidence to suggest that taking fish oil supplements may help reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

It is worth noting that some people with rheumatoid arthritis feel their symptoms get worse after they have eaten certain foods.

"If you think this may be the case for you, it may be useful to try avoiding problematic foods for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve," advises the NHS.

Rheumatoid arthritis: The healthy bread alternative that could be making symptoms worse – Express

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Emphasising the point, a study published in the Oxford Journal of Rheumatology stated that 41 percent of those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis improved on a gluten-free diet conducted over a one year period.

According to Peyton, you should go easy on steak if you are looking to avoid a flare up.

She explained: "Whilst there are fats that send out anti-inflammatory messages, there are also fats that can create pro-inflammatory messages in the body. These typically come from animal fats."

"We all require the ability to create some inflammation when there is a need to heal (after an injury for example)."

However, as Peyton pointed out, the ratio of inflammatory fats is too high in the typical Western diet.

"Therefore take a look at your diet and assess whether you are consuming sufficient anti-inflammatory fats and not too many pro-inflammatory fats. It is all about the balance," she said.

According to the NHS, if you feel your arthritis is aggravated by eating certain foods, it may be useful to try avoiding problematic foods for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve.

"But it's important to ensure your overall diet is still healthy and balanced," the healthy body says.

A Mediterranean-style diet, which is based on vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish and unsaturated fats such as olive oil, is recommended.

According to the NHS, there's some evidence to suggest that taking fish oil supplements may help reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Eating a healthy diet can also help to maintain a healthy weight.

According to the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS), excess weight is bad for joints and overall health.

Al Roker Will Have Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery Due to Intense Arthritis Pain – Yahoo Lifestyle

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Photo credit: NBC - Getty Images

From Woman's Day

On Tuesday, Todays Al Roker announced he would be undergoing total shoulder replacement surgery. The NBC weatherman said hes been living with intense pain in his right shoulder due to arthritis, a general term for a range of conditions that cause swelling, pain, and stiffness in or around a joint.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 4 Americans have arthritis, and its typically treated with medication or surgery to repair the joint or manage symptoms.

The arthritis in Al's right shoulder has caused pain and affected his range of motion, particularly his ability to move his shoulder up and down. Its not bad during the day, but at night its an intense pain that literally wakes me up. For the last month, Ive only been sleeping about two or three hours a night, which even for me is a little bit less, Al said on the 3rd hour of Today. Its gotten to the point where I cant even sleep at night.

Al, who said his moms side of the family suffers from really intense arthritis, has osteoarthritis, the most common form of the condition. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the bones begins to wear down over time, causing pain and joint damage.

The surgery will be Al's second shoulder surgery in six years, after he had his rotator cuff repaired in his left shoulder in 2014. The procedure also marks Rokers second procedure in less than a year, as the Today host had hip replacement surgery in September 2019. The deal is that Im going to have replaced everything by 2027, Al joked.

Al's doctor, Riley Williams III, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery, told Today that the surgery is designed to restore the normal joint services so that arthritic, achy pain that hes been having and waking him up at night can go away, and we can kind of get him back on a road to recovery.

Story continues

What you can expect after having a shoulder replacement is 25-plus years of really good function, provided you do all the requisite things after surgery [like] getting good healing, good nutrition and physical therapy to re-strengthen the muscles around the shoulder, Williams added. It really, really is life-changing and can bring you back to a point where you dont even realize that you had the shoulder operated on in the first place.

Al will not host Today this week as he recovers, and he will likely be in a sling for the next three weeks. He will also undergo physical therapy in the days after his procedure.

Rheum Round-up: Rheumatic Disease and COVID-19 Severity, Improving Hip Fracture Outcomes, and more – DocWire News

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Here are the top stories recently covered by DocWire News in the rheumatology section. In this edition, read about the effect of rheumatic diseases on COVID-19 severity, virtual computer-assisted preoperative planning in hip fracture, racial disparities in psoriatic arthritis, and fatigue in rheumatic diseases.

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with connective tissue diseases may be at risk for increased illness severity, according to a recent study, but inflammatory arthritis (IA) may not have the same effect. Final analysis included 456 patients each in rheumatic and non-rheumatic groups. In the rheumatic disease cohort, 60% of patients had IA, and 40% had connective tissue disease. About three-quarters of patients (74%) were hospitalized. The risk of severe COVID-19 was 31.6% in the rheumatic cohort and 28.1% in the non-rheumatic cohort. In bivariate analysis, factors associated with increased COVID-19 severity risk in the rheumatic group were aging; male sex; and previous comorbidity including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular or lung disease. Upon logistic regression analysis, the factors independently associated with severe COVID-19 disease were increased age, male sex, and connective tissue disease.

An estimated 300,000 hip fractures occur in the U.S. each yeara number that is expected to double with the aging population. About half of hip fractures are intertrochanteric fractures, but postoperative outcomes tend to be poor, including a high risk of mortality as well as poorer functional and quality of life outcomes. Certain risk factors for such poor outcomes are age and sexwhich cannot be modified. One thing that can be modified, though, is preoperative planning. And according to a study, computer-assisted virtual planning in cases of intertrochanteric hip fracture may improve postoperative complications, including mortality risk.

A study observed how ethnicity may affect disease expression of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), observing differences between patients of South Asian (SA) versus North European (NE) descent. They concluded that SA patients may have poorer clinical outcomes and be more adversely affected by PsA disease than NE patients.

IA patients often experience fatigue; 41% to 51% of rheumatoid arthritis, PsA, and spondyloarthritis patients suffer from severe fatigue. Patients with these rheumatic diseases who are plagued by fatigue may suffer in several domains, including quality of life, work impairment, depression, and more, according to a new study.

Do Inflammatory and Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases Affect COVID-19 Illness Severity? – DocWire News

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with connective tissue diseases may be at risk for increased illness severity, according to a recent study, but inflammatory arthritis may not have the same effect.

Since severe COVID-19 is associated with a hyperinflammatory process, it is of particular interest to investigate how pre-existing inflammatory diseases or the previous use of immunosuppressive agents influence COVID-19 expression, the study authors explained.

The researchers identified PCR+COVID-19 rheumatic patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and spondyloarthritis) or connective tissue diseases (including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjgrens syndrome, systemic sclerosis, polymyalgia rheumatica, and vasculitides) and compared them 1:1 to non-rheumatic controls matched based on age, sex, and PCR date. The primary outcome was severe COVID-19 (death, invasive ventilation, intensive care unit admission, or serious complications). The correlation between severe COVID-19 and potential prognostic variables was evaluated, adjusting for COVID-19 treatment.

Final analysis included 456 patients each in the rheumatic and non-rheumatic groups. Both cohorts had a mean ae of 63 years and were 41% male. In the rheumatic disease cohort, 60% of patients had inflammatory arthritis, and 40% had connective tissue disease. About three-quarters of patients (74%) were hospitalized. The risk of severe COVID-19 was 31.6% in the rheumatic cohort and 28.1% in the non-rheumatic cohort. In bivariate analysis, factors associated with increased COVID-19 severity risk in the rheumatic group were aging; male sex; and previous comorbidity including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular or lung disease. Upon logistic regression analysis, the factors independently associated with severe COVID-19 disease were increased age (odds ratio [OR]=4.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.78 to 8.36), male sex (OR=1.93; 95% CI, 1.21 to 3.07), and connective tissue disease (OR=1.82; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.30).

The researchers stated in their conclusion that among hospitalised patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, having a [connective tissue disease] pose[s] a significantly greater risk for poor outcomes, whereas immunosuppressive therapies do not. Previously known risk factors as ageing and male sex also apply to patients with rheumatic diseases. This observation should help to tailor recommendations to specific diagnostic and therapeutic groups of patients with rheumatic diseases during this or future coronavirus pandemics.

The study was published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

Clinically Validated Blood-Based Test Predicts Response to Anti-TNF Therapies in RA – Rheumatology Advisor

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

A model incorporating gene expression and clinical factors predicts response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to study results published in Network and Systems Medicine.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease and the molecular factors that predict response to treatment are poorly understood. Using gene expression data from patients receiving anti-TNF therapy, investigators aimed to build a biomarker panel, which predicts response to anti-TNF therapies in patients with RA.

Using publicly available data, a comprehensive map of the human protein-protein interactome was generated and used to identify an RA disease module, which contained approximately 200 proteins. Within this module, 66% of the proteins had been previously linked to RA in genome-wide association studies, and the remaining were significantly enriched in similar Gene Ontology biological processes.

Microarray data were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database for 58 women receiving anti-TNF therapy. Using a random forest machine-learning algorithm, the data were used to identify genes for which expression was predictive of response and nonresponse to therapy. Based on the microarray profile and the RA disease module, 37 genes were identified as discriminatory biomarkers for anti-TNF response.

In addition, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data were obtained for 143 patients with RA from the Comparative Effectiveness Registry to Study Therapies for Arthritis and Inflammatory Conditions (CERTAIN) study. In addition to gene expression, RNAseq data enabled the identification of single-nucleotide variations (SNVs; formerly single-nucleotide polymorphisms) that were associated with treatment response. An additional 22 SNVs, which were associated with the RA disease model, were identified that were linked to response to anti-TNF therapy.

With the inclusion of clinical factors, a total of 70 biomarkers were identified and used to train a machine-learning algorithm to predict response to anti-TNF therapy. The final model generated, which predicted nonresponse to anti-TNF therapy, consisted of 10 SNPs, 8 gene transcripts, 2 laboratory tests, and 3 clinical measures.

To confirm that the model was broadly generalizable, data from an independent group of 175 patients from the CERTAIN study were used for a validation trial. Patients who were identified by the model as being nonresponders to anti-TNF therapy were 6.57-times more likely to be a true nonresponder than a responder (95% CI, 2.75-15.70). The model predicted nonresponse to therapy with a positive predictive value of 89.7% (95% CI, 79.0-95.7%), a specificity of 86.8% (95% CI, 72.4-94.1%), and a sensitivity of 50.0% (95% CI, 40.8-58.7%). There was no significant difference observed in the predictive power of the model based on ethnicity.

When the relevant gene transcripts and SNVs were mapped to the human interactome, they were all within close proximity to the RA disease module as well as established RA drug targets, including Janus kinase and TNF-. Pathway enrichment identified genes involved in T-cell signaling as the most enriched pathway in the biomarkers associated with a therapeutic response.

Customization of treatment regimens to match the individualized disease biology of each patient is a goal of modern medicine, the researchers concluded. Development and validation of a drug response algorithm that predicts nonresponse to a targeted therapy using this machine-learning and network medicine approach show great promise for advancing precision medicine in the treatment of RA and other complex autoimmune diseases where costly therapeutic interventions are met with inadequate patient response.

Evaluating Methotrexate Monotherapy for Minimal Disease Activity Achievement in Early PsA – Rheumatology Advisor

August 17th, 2020 1:52 pm

Methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy may be insufficient for achieving sustained minimal disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), according to study data published in RMD Open. In a cohort of patients with PsA who were initiated with MTX, only 18% maintained minimal disease activity over 1 year of treatment. Methotrexate nonresponders vs responders were more likely to have interleukin (IL)-23-driven disease.

Investigators abstracted data from the Dutch Southwest Early Psoriatic Arthritis Cohort (DEPAR) study collected between 2013 and 2018. The DEPAR enrollees with oligoarthritis or polyarthritis who had 1 year of follow-up data were eligible for inclusion in the study. According to the DEPAR protocol, patients provided clinical data and blood samples before treatment initiation and every 3 months thereafter. Minimal disease activity was defined according to the following parameters: swollen and tender joint counts 1; Leeds Enthesitis Index 1; Psoriasis Area Severity Index 1; patients global assessment by visual analog scale (VAS) 20 mm; patients pain assessment by VAS 15 mm; and Health Assessment Questionnaire 0.5. Serum cytokine concentrations were determined at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months using a bead-based immunoassay.

The study cohort included 219 patients (50% men), with mean age at enrollment of 5314 years. Overall, 183 patients (84%) were initiated with MTX monotherapy within 6 months of PsA diagnosis, of whom 49% remained on MTX monotherapy for 1 year. A total of 44 patients (24%) reached minimal disease activity at 6 months. At 1 year, 33 patients (18%) remained in minimal disease activity.

Compared with patients who had minimal disease activity at 1 year, patients who did not respond to treatment with MTX had higher mean baseline concentrations of IL-23 (17.444.78 vs 62.9425.02), tumor necrosis factor (2.630.66 vs 7.832.79), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (2.780.64 vs 6.52.07), interferon gamma (6.671.29 vs 19.746.85), and IL-10 (1.030.13 vs 2.080.6; all P <.05). Concentrations of IL-10 and IL-23 remained significantly higher among nonresponders at 6 months.

In this observational care cohort of patients with PsA, only 18% who were initiated on MTX remained in minimal disease activity at 1 year. Higher baseline and follow-up concentrations of IL-23 and IL-10 were observed in nonresponders. Further study is necessary to confirm the validity of these biomarkers for MTX response.

Study limitations included potential confounding factors and the need to validate the use of serum IL-23 as a therapy-response biomarker. Overall, conclusions about the effect of MTX therapy must be drawn with caution.

This study highlights the potential value of use of new tools, such as measuring cytokine profiles, to stratify patients for underlying driving pathogenic mechanisms of their disease, the investigators concluded.

Experiencing Eye Strain Too Often? Here Are Some Prevention Tips That Might Help – Doctor NDTV

August 17th, 2020 1:51 pm

Itchiness, tiredness and sometimes burning sensation in the eyes can be a sign of eyestrain. Too much exposure to screen is one of the leading causes of eyestrain. Here are some tips you can follow to prevent this.

Exposure to screens for too long can negatively affect your eyes in several ways

When at home, you tend to spend more time staring at the screens. Too much exposure leads to several harmful effects. Eyestrain is a common condition in this digital age. Eye strain can irritate the eyes, headaches, blurry vision, dry eye, pain in neck, shoulder and back, excessive stress, poor vision and trouble in focusing. This condition can also be a result of driving for long-distance as it can make your eyes tired. But the use of digital gadgets is one of the leading causes. If left uncontrolled eye strain can lead to several problems like macular degeneration, sleep disturbances and in some cases cataract.

Eyestrain can causes discomfort in performing day to day activities too. Here are some tips you can follow to prevent this condition.

It is usually advised to take a 20 seconds break after continuous exposure to screens for 20 mins. Try to create a balance between your work and breaks so that your eyes get enough rest.

While working or watching something do not keep the screen to close to your eyes. Ideally, it is advised to keep a minimum distance of 20 inches between the screen and your eyes.

Not just the distance you should also maintain the right angle of the placement of the screen. Keep the screen at the level of your eyes or slightly below. It should not be above the eye level or too low (staring at low level can lead to text neck).

These days a variety of lenses are available. You can consult an eye specialist to get the perfect glasses for your eyes. Different lenses have different coatings and tints.

You should also describe other discomforts you are facing while working. Many experience irritation or dry eye. Your doctor may prescribe eye drops to address the issues.

When you are working, you take a break and start using your phone. In this process, you do not give your eye the required break. During a break make sure that you do not use any kind of screens.

Blind Gateshead runner won’t let sight loss or the pandemic stop him completing the Great North Run – Chronicle Live

August 17th, 2020 1:51 pm

He wasn't going to let losing his sight stop him doing the Great North Run.

So this dedicated runner certainly isn't going to let a pandemic get in the way.

The Great North Run may have been cancelled as a result of Covid-19, but Gary Ferguson, from Rowlands Gill, is among the hundreds of people who are finding a new way to test their bodies and raise money for charity, just as they planned to do in the famous half marathon.

Civil servant Gary, 59, has reached the finish line of the famous Newcastle - South Shields course around 13 times before, but this year was set to be an extra challenge.

Though he's had serious eye problems for most of his life, this was to be his first time completing the run since he eyesight deteriorate to the point where he could no longer run safely without a guide, and has applied for a guide dog.

Undeterred, Gary, who is registered blind, decided to raise cash for others in his position, running to collect sponsorship for the Guide Dogs charity, as well as the NHS.

He's now completing the Great North Run solo challenge instead: completing 40 runs over the 78 days leading up to September 13, when the half marathon should have taken place.

On the day itself, Gary and his guide runner, Craig Merrick, will be running 13.1miles along the Derwent Walk from Rowlands Gill, with Gary in a 'Braveheart' costume, an outfit he's often used in the Great North Run.

He said: "It would have been the first time I'd run it with my eyes this bad, and I was looking forward to it, because having applied for a guide dog myself I wanted to get the chance to support and raise money for them.

"It was disappointing when Covid-19 knocked it all back: it's frustrating for everybody who was going to run, but it's the charities who really suffer, because they are losing millions that they would have got in sponsorship."

Running while blind is not without its challenges, and Gary has been forced to adapt to a whole new way of doing the sport he loves, due to the cloudy cornea which makes the world around him dark and his vision 'like being in a steamy sauna'.

"It's frustrating, more than anything. Usually I like to dictate the pace, but now I have to run right behind my guide: they run right in front of me wearing a high-visibility tabard and that's about as far as I can see," he explained.

"Sometimes, depending on the weather, if the sun is shining through the trees, for example, the person I'm running behind tends to disappear, so some of the time I am literally running blind, hoping there's nothing going to hit me before that little bit of visibility comes back."

He's spurred on by his love of running outdoors, as well as a desire to help others who've lost their sight, as he knows from experience how valuable a guide dog can be.

He said: "I've been approved for a dog and I'm on a waiting list, but it's a long list because there are a lot of people needing it.

"It's about independence: at the moment I'm having to depend on other people for small things, like going to the shops, with a dog, I could do that on my own."

Global Phoropters Market Forecast 2020-2025 with Profiles of Major Players Briot USA, Huvitz, Marco, NIDEK, and Reichert Among Others -…

August 17th, 2020 1:51 pm

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Phoropters Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2020-2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global Phoropters market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of nearly 4.1%, during the forecast period.

Certain factors that are driving the market growth include growing prevalence and recurrence of eye disorders and technological advancements.

In many developed and developing nations, eye disorders have emerged as potential threats to the status of sight of their people. The significant rise in the prevalence of diabetes in various countries has led to diabetic retinopathy being added to the priority list.

According to the WHO, in 2018, it was estimated that approximately 1.3 billion people were living with some form of vision impairment, 188.5 million people had mild vision impairment, 217 million had moderate to severe vision impairment, and 36 million people are blind.

Across the globe, the leading causes of vision impairment are uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts, and most people with vision impairment are over the age of 50 years. As per the WHO, chronic eye diseases are the number one cause of vision loss, with the top two causes being unoperated cataracts and uncorrected refractive errors. The former is the leading cause in countries with low- or middle-incomes.

In addition, the global geriatric population continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. The increase in the aging population presents several public health challenges that people need to prepare for. Presbyopia is an age-related visual impairment. It results from the gradual decrease in accommodation expected with age and can have multiple effects on quality of vision and quality of life. Though not incapacitating if corrected, presbyopia without optical correction results in an inability to perform once-effortless near tasks at a customary working distance without experiencing visual symptoms.

Hence, the rising incidence of eye-related disorders is projecting a great impact on the growth of market studied.

Key Market Trends

Specialty Clinics Hold Significant Share

Specialty clinics are expected to observe a steady growth in adoption rate of phoropters, owing to the increasing number of eye disorders. For instance, the prevalence of presbyopia is higher in societies in which larger proportions of the population survive into old age. With the aging of the U.S. population, unprecedented number of patients with presbyopia can be expected to present to optometrists' offices in the coming years.

Because presbyopia is age related, its prevalence is directly related to the proportion of older persons in the population. Although it is difficult to estimate the incidence of a chronic condition such as presbyopia, due to its slow onset, it appears that the highest incidence of presbyopia (i.e., first-reported effects) is in people aged 42 to 44 years. Hence, with the emergence of such diseases, specialty clinics are gaining attention in the market studied.

North America Dominates the Global Market

In the North American region, the United States accounted for the largest market share. According to the 2018 report of the American Optometric Association, Myopia affects nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population.

While the exact cause of myopia is unknown, there is significant evidence that many people inherit myopia, or at least the tendency to develop myopia. If one or both parents are nearsighted, there is an increased chance their children will be nearsighted.

A study conducted for the year 2016-2017 estimated that 9.6 million adults in the United States are highly myopic, or severely nearsighted. Of those, nearly 820,000 have a degenerative form of the disease and more than 41,000 suffer a complication called myopic choroidal neovascularization that could cause long-term vision loss, with women at higher risk. The findings were published in the Journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Competitive Landscape

The global Phoropters market is moderately competitive and consists of a few major players. There is a presence of local as well as international companies in the global market. Some of the key players include Briot USA Inc., Huvitz Co. Ltd., Marco, Nidek, Reichert Inc., Rexxam Co. Ltd., Carl Zeiss AG, among others.

Amid COVID-19 pandemic, people with diabetes struggle to get insulin – Press of Atlantic City

August 17th, 2020 1:50 pm

LOS ANGELES For Adam Winney, a 26-year old with Type 1 diabetes, grocery shopping during the early days of a pandemic was an infuriating task. Everything was sold out, except for the one type of food he couldnt eat.

The only things left were carbs, carbs, carbs, the Van Nuys resident said. Ive never been more furious than back in March.

Winneys disease has deprived his body of insulin, a hormone thats needed to turn the sugar in carbohydrates into energy. Without it, his blood sugar can spike to dangerous levels, eventually leading to serious health problems like cardiovascular disease, nerve damage and kidney failure.

But the insulin pens he relies on to keep his body in balance cost him upwards of $1,000 a month, since his health insurance doesnt cover the medication.

After the coronavirus outbreak cost him his job as a receptionist at a hair salon, that expense was beyond his reach. He went six weeks without the long-acting insulin he usually takes every day.

COVID-19 presents a unique set of challenges to the roughly 34 million Americans like Winney who are living with diabetes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people with Type 1 diabetes are probably more susceptible to a severe case of COVID-19. Those with Type 2 diabetes the more common form that begins when people lose their sensitivity to insulin are definitely at increased risk of severe COVID-19, according to the CDC.

For instance, a study of more than 7,300 COVID-19 patients in China found that those with Type 2 diabetes needed more medical care and were nearly 50% more likely to die than patients without diabetes.

The risk of death was especially high for people who had trouble controlling their blood sugar, researchers reported. Another study of more than 1,200 COVID-19 patients in the U.S. found that the mortality rate for those with diabetes or high blood sugar was 29%, compared with 6% for those without diabetes.

The extent to which you control your diabetes is a risk factor, said Dr. Daniel Drucker, a senior scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute at the University of Toronto. Theres a lot we can do about that, by making sure that your diabetes is optimally controlled.

Insulin is essential for keeping blood sugar in check, but the pricey medicine is harder to get if a job disappears, along with the health insurance that came with it.

The cost of insulin varies from patient to patient. It depends on the type of insulin they need some take effect within 15 minutes; others last more than a day _ as well as the dose. Some insurance plans pick up more of the tab than others.

The financial strain brought on by the pandemic has forced Royce Jonathan Miller of Yuba City to consider rationing the insulin he takes for Type 1 diabetes. He has kept his job as an optician at Walmart, but since his father-in-law lost his job at a maintenance company that closed operations due to the pandemic, Miller has become the sole provider for the four people in his household.

Miller has an insulin pump, which uses a tube to continuously deliver a small amount of insulin directly to the pancreas. He is supposed to change out the pieces that connect to his body every three days. Lately, hes been wondering if thats absolutely necessary.

Im starting to think, I can stretch that up for two cycles, every six days, and hopefully it doesnt get infected, Miller said. But I do realize that if I am to make myself sick and wind up in the hospital, that will be a bigger burden.

A nationwide survey of 5,000 people with diabetes conducted for the American Diabetes Assn. found that one in four have rationed supplies to cut the cost of their diabetes care since the start of the pandemic.

Now is not the time to let up on helping these individuals manage their disease, because it may in fact be helpful in preventing them from getting severe COVID-19, Drucker said.

People with Type 2 diabetes may face even greater hardship in affording their insulin, said Dr. Francisco Prieto, a family health physician in Sacramento.

Not everyone who has Type 2 has to take insulin, Prieto said. Those who do are typically folks who either have the most severe cases of diabetes or have failed all the previous oral and injectable treatments. That means they may need to take even more insulin on a daily basis than Type 1 patients, he said.

Since 2019, 11 states have set limits on the amount insurance companies can set as co-payments for insulin. Each of those states has enacted price caps ranging from $25 to $100 per month since the coronavirus outbreak took off in March.

California may soon join the list. In February, Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian, D-North Hollywood, introduced a bill that would cap insulin copays at $50 for a 30-day supply, or $100 per month. It passed in June by a 64-4-11 vote, but the Senate Health Committee has not scheduled a hearing that would allow the bill to move forward.

Winney said a price cap would give him some peace of mind. These days he relies on free samples provided by one of his doctors, but that generosity may not last.

I see that as an incentive to finally change insurance, he said.

Ensuring an affordable supply of insulin would help people with diabetes manage their disease better, said Brandi DaVeiga, a stay-at-home mom in Lakewood with Type 1 diabetes. She has good coverage now through her husbands health insurance plan, but when she was between plans three years ago, she began skipping insulin doses to make her supply last longer. On several occasions, her blood sugar levels rose dangerously high, and she ended up in the emergency room.

Its really stressful, she said of managing diabetes during a pandemic. And that doesnt help your blood sugar.

The fact that people with diabetes are rationing their insulin when they need it most points to larger problems with health care access in this country, Drucker said.

COVID-19 is reminding us of the importance of doing everything we can in our vulnerable, at-risk populations, he said. Lets do everything we can to optimize their health because that may, in turn, reduce their risk of having a bad outcome with this virus.
