Search for: [Abstract = "Elevated levels of zinc and iron have been observed for patients treated for diabetes, which is consistent with other published data. On the other hand, samples from glaucoma patients showed the highest Zn content, often reaching values of several hundred ppm. In case of glaucoma it was impossible to refer to other studies because there is no literature on this topic. For any of the elements studied, no significant differences in the medians of gender have been found. All p values were significantly higher than the assumed significance level of 0.05. The p levels were as follows\: for zinc 0.2319, for iron 0.9227 and for calcium 0.9204. Using the decision tree method, the percentage and probability of diabetes and glaucoma were determined based on the content of zinc, iron and calcium in the lens. High calcium \(above 449 ppm\) and zinc \(above 80 ppm\) levels were observed among glaucoma patients and elevated iron levels \(above 16 ppm\) in diabetic patients. \; The current research suggests new directions in medical diagnosis because cataract removal is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the world. The application of the PIXE method has shown numerous advantages over other methods of determining the content of bioelements due to its high accuracy, ease of sample preparation and large amount of information obtained from a single study. Based on the studies conducted in"]
