Background Superoxide dismutase (SOD) reduces the reactive oxygen species formation associated with oxidative stress. An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can lead to accelerated aging. GliSODin® Skin Nutrients Advanced Anti-Aging Formula (GAAF) is an SOD-containing dietary nutricosmetic formulated with other nutraceuticals that prom...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system that primarily afflicts young adults. Approximately 400,000 people in the United States are affected by MS. Although several forms of MS exist, the most common course is known as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), which affects about 85% of MS patients. This fo...

Glaucoma is a long-term ocular neuropathy defined by optic disc or retinal nerve fiber structural abnormalities and visual field abnormality. Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. Currently available treatments, initiated in a stepwise process, focus on intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, and initially include topical d...

Glaucoma is a family of diseases characterized by optic neuropathy that leads to vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma affects approximately 2.5 million people in the US and is expected to increase to 60.5 million people worldwide by 2010. The annual costs of glaucoma are significant, with costs to the US government estimated to be $US1.5 billion. El...

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of glaucoma treatment with bimatoprost compared with other intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications in adult patients with chronic glaucoma or ocular hypertension (IOP of between 22mm Hg and 34mm Hg), from a US healthcare payers’ perspective. Methods Estimated yearly c...

Several documents guide screening and detection of glaucoma. The AAO guidelines are considered the current standard. The VA has established the need for regular screening based on identified factors. Finally, a task force working with NCQA to develop a glaucoma-related HEDIS measure may provide future direction in populationwide care.
