Our findings further highlight the need of a more refined, ethnic-specific normative database for GCIPL thickness, which in turn may improve the detection and diagnosis of glaucoma in Asians. OBJECTIVES Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. This prospective study aimed to investigate predisposition of proteins and metabolites correlated to POAF after CABG and related cellular pathways. METHODS Preoperative plasma samples from patients undergoing CABG procedures were prospectively collected. After CABG, the patients were grouped to POAF or sinus rhythm (N = 170; n = 90 in the discovery set and n = 80 in the validation set). The plasma samples were analyzed using proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics to identify the differential proteins and differential metabolites. The correlation between differential proteins and POAF was also investigated by multivariable regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic analysis. RESULTS In the POAF(+) group, 29 differential proteins and 61 differential metabolites were identified compared with the POAF(-) group. The analysis of integrated omics revealed that preopermay be developed as biomarkers to predict POAF. OBJECTIVE Esophageal aperistalsis has been considered a relative contraindication for lung transplant because of a higher risk of allograft dysfunction secondary to reflux and aspiration induced by poor esophageal clearance. We previously reported that esophageal motility improves in some patients after lung transplant. We reviewed the clinical course of lung transplant recipients diagnosed with an aperistaltic esophagus on pretransplant testing. METHODS We identified patients diagnosed with pretransplant aperistaltic esophagus on high-re
