This retrospective, comparative, multicenter study aimed to evaluate the real-world outcomes and predictors of failure of Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) at 12 months in glaucoma patients. Predictors of failure of absolute success in bilateral cases (422 eyes of 308 patients) included pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP; IRR = 1.02; p = 0.

(Anacardiaceae) is an arboreal and allogamous fruit tree native from southern Mexico to southeastern Brazil, with great potential for economic exploitation. This study aimed to evaluate the structure and genomic diversity of yellow mombin accessions collected in nine locations in Brazil using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) markers.

- Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a promising non-domesticated palm species with potential for oil production, comparable to the commercially used oil palm, driving interest in its genetic study for domestication efforts.
- The study utilized various genotyping strategies to identify SNPs in 201 palms and performed GWAS to associate genetic traits with vegetative and oil production characteristics, despite lacking a reference genome.
- Results indicated significant genetic variation among traits, with heritability values suggesting the presence of favorable genotypes for breeding programs; a total of 92 significant SNPs were identified in single-trait GWAS using de novo data.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to delineate a novel manifestation linked to the mutation of the MFRP gene: a macular neovascular membrane (MNV). The authors provide detailed insights into this rare condition, shedding light on a previously unreported observation and proposing potential pathophysiological mechanisms.
Methods: A single case report from a tertiary center in Brazil was conducted for evaluation.
Orphan perennial native species are gaining importance as sustainability in agriculture becomes crucial to mitigate climate change. Nevertheless, issues related to the undomesticated status and lack of improved germplasm impede the evolution of formal agricultural initiatives. - neotropical palm with potential for oil production - is an example.
