Zinc-monocysteine and rheohemapheresis showed significantly better effects on BCVA (logMAR) improvement, and compared with the blank control, rheohemapheresis and the antioxidant complex showed better effects on BCVA (letters) improvement. Other treatments have potential effects on DAMD, including alprostadil, eculizumab, and lampalizumab. However, there is no effective treatment for GA area reduction.

Lifting for handling and flatbed truck transportation to the job site are important processes during manufacture of prefabricated wooden construction units like mini homes and building modules. Significant damage can occur to sections or components of units during these operations. Although damage usually will not impair its structural safety, it is costly to fix and causes the public to perceive prefabricated wooden buildings as low quality products. Field observations and preliminary numerical models for prefabricated units subject to lifting and transportation forces are summarized here. Once fully developed and verified, models will support the creation of damage mitigation strategies centered on structural details indicating how units are to be supported during lifting and transportation.
