Is interaction between smoking and functional polymorphism in the TGFB1 gene associated with ischaemic heart disease and myocardial infarction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis : a cross-sectional study?
Interaction between smoking and polymorphism in the TGFB1 gene may influence the risk of IHD and MI in patients with RA.
This analysis provides an updated clinical perspective which suggests the selection of blue light-filtering IOLs for patients of any age, but especially for pediatric and presbyopic lens exchange patients with a longer pseudophakic life. Without clinically substantiated potential risks, these patients should experience the benefit of overall better quality of vision, reduced glare disability at least in some conditions, and better protection against retinal phototoxicity and its associated potential risk for AMD.
