How can you use “macular” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We therefore constructed appropriate annular zones in the macula for percentage (multiplicative) increases in brightness to be empirically determined using published data on the spatial distribution of macular pigment [ 29 30 ] . These observers found that the macular pigment density (hence optical density) is greatest centrally, drops to half-maximum within a diameter of 500 to 600 μm, reaches a quarter-maximum at a diameter of about 1000 μm, and thence tapers slowly to a low constant level within a 2000 μm diameter region.
By applying our findings with respect to macular reflectance patterns we have developed a reproducible, validated semi-automated method for leveling the macular background and segmenting drusen by a uniform threshold.
Macular background leveling in images with drusen
Power/type 2 error appears to be a major factor—if the genetic effect is sufficiently large ( HLA in Type 1 diabetes mellitus or CFH in age-related macular degeneration)—or, if the sample size is large, then there appears to be a greater chance of “hard” replication.
This protective mechanism declines with age because a study analyzing metallothionein levels in RPE of macular region showed a dramatic decrease in aged donors (mean age = 80-yr) as compared to those from younger donors (mean age = 58-yr) [ 36 ] . A separate report concluded that there was also an age-dependent decrease of catalase activity in RPE [ 37 ] . These studies suggest RPE in the elderly are more susceptible to oxidative stress induced damage, which may contribute to age-related RPE dysfunction and vision loss.
