This sex difference was also found for pinguecula, present in 73.6 and 66.3% of men and women, respectively (OR 1.5; 95% Cl 1.3-1.7). A slight age-related increase in prevalence was found for both pterygium and pinguecula. Conclusions: The study found significant associations between pterygium...
(5 d/wk) using strontium-90 applicators. There was no significant difference in crude recurrence rates (7.1% vs 6.7%) or pterygium control (92.3% vs 93.9%;P= .616). Excellent or good cosmetic effect was favored in the lower-dose group (92% vs 70%;P= .034), and scleromalacia was ...

However, most of this difference can be explained by the relative levels of lymphocyte infiltration. Leukocyte infiltration is a hallmark of both pterygium and pinguecula, although the number of infiltrating cells and the profiles of cell types is quite variable (see Supplementary Table S1). ...
