<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The purpose of this study was to use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to compare the morphology characteristics of type 1 and 2 choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> This is a retrospective, observational study of 51 eyes with nAMD using OCTA from July 2016 through March 2017. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In total, 51 eyes of 50 patients were included in the analysis. According to the anatomical classification based on OCT, 27 eyes (53%) were diagnosed with type 1 CNV, and 24 eyes (47%) were type 2 CNV. Type 2 CNV was characterized by smaller flow area, smaller greatest vascular caliber (GVC), smaller greatest linear dimension (GLD), and shorter duration of disease. The duration of disease only correlated with GVC (<i>p</i> = 0.026) in multivariate linear regression results. Meanwhile, GLD correlated with GVC and flow area whereas GVC was not associated with flow area. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This study demonstrated that type 2 CNV was characterized by shorter duration of disease, smaller GVC, smaller GLD, and smaller flow area compared with type 1 CNV. Additionally, we showed that the duration of the disease correlated with GVC of the CNV.
The aerodynamic design of hypersonic inlets is a critical issue for the overall performance of an air-breathing propulsion system. The design procedure of basic Busemann inlet is presented. Five truncated Busemann inlets with a contraction ratio of 9 are designed for Mach 6. These inlets have different truncation angles range from 0°to 6°. Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the effects of truncation on inlet performance. The results of numerical simulations confirmed the good performance of the Busemann inlet. The truncation angle of 4°is preferred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
