Trends in prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment over 30 years: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study by Rupert Bourne (603842)

“…Globally, between 1990 and 2020, among adults aged 50 years or older, age-standardised prevalence of blindness decreased by 28·5% (–29·4 to −27·7) and prevalence of mild vision impairment decreased slightly (–0·3%, −0·8 to −0·2), whereas prevalence of moderate and severe vision impairment increased slightly (2·5%, 1·9 to 3·2; insufficient data were available to calculate this statistic for vision impairment from uncorrected presbyopia). …”

Impact of trace noble metals on the catalytic performance of LaNiMgO towards methane dry reforming by Yahia H. Ahmad (14340210)

“…In addition, the presence of noble metals at the Ni surface afforded a high density of adsorbed oxygen species, which enhanced coke gasification and consequently decreased the extent of deactivation of the catalysts by coke formation. …”

“…Geographical disparities in access to improved water across units decreased in 76·1% (95% UI 71·6–80·7) of countries from 2000 to 2017, and in 53·9% (50·6–59·6) of countries for access to improved sanitation, but remained evident subnationally in most countries in 2017. …”

The burden of unintentional drowning: global, regional and national estimates of mortality from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 Study by Richard Charles Franklin (9154052)

“…Oceania was the region with the highest rate of age-standardised YLLs in 2017, with 45 434 (40 850 to 50 539) YLLs per 100 000 across both sexes.</p> <h2>Conclusions</h2> <p>There has been a decline in global drowning rates. …”
