Several studies have found a broad range of incidence of PVD, from 20% of autopsy cases to 57% in a more elderly population of patients (average age was 83.4 years). [4] People with myopia (nearsightedness) greater than 6 diopters are at higher risk of PVD at all ages. Posterior vitreous detachment does not directly threaten vision.
Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from a condensed phase to a ...
The Prescribing Information follows one of two formats: "physician labeling rule" format or "old" (non-PLR) format. For "old" format labeling a "product title" may be listed first and may include the proprietary name (if any), the nonproprietary name, dosage form(s), and other information about the product.

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare form of pulmonary hypertension caused by progressive blockage of the small veins in the lungs. [2] The blockage leads to high blood pressures in the arteries of the lungs, which, in turn, leads to heart failure.
Peripheral vascular disease, obstruction of large arteries not within the coronary, aortic arch vasculature, or brain Peripheral vision (horizon) display , an aircraft cockpit instrument which assists pilots in maintaining proper attitude
Peripheral vascular disease, or PVD usually involves the arteries, and so sometimes it’s also referred to as peripheral artery disease or PAD. PVD is most often caused by a blockage, called organic PVD, most commonly caused by atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of lipids and fibrous material just under the inner lining of the blood vessel ...
