Calculation of vessel pulse wave velocities in retinal vein segments within the optic disc centre.

The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) method is used clinically to determine degrees of stiffness and other indices of disease. It is believed PWV measurement in retinal vessels may allow early detection of diseases. In this paper we present a new non-invasive method for estimating PWVs in retinal vein segments close to the optic disc centre, based on the measurement of blood column pulsation in retinal veins (reflective of vessel wall pulsation), using modified photoplethysmography (PPG).

Association between medication adherence and blood pressure control and factors associated with antihypertensive medication adherence in the Melaka Tengah District: A cross-sectional survey.

Introduction: The burden of cardiovascular disease and early morbidity and mortality is exacerbated by hypertension. According to the 2019 National Health and Morbidity Survey, 30% of adults in Malaysia aged over 18 years had hypertension. Our study aimed to investigate the association between medication adherence and blood pressure control and the factors associated with antihypertensive medication adherence.

Repurposing the antipsychotic drug penfluridol for cancer treatment (Review).

Cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases and the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the improved survival rates of cancer in recent years, the current available treatments often face resistance and side effects. Drug repurposing represents a cost‑effective and efficient alternative to cancer treatment.

A Review and Analysis of Evaluation Practices in VIS Domain Applications.

This paper presents a review and analysis of evaluation practices within the visualization and visual analytics (VIS) domain, with a focus on domain application work accepted at the IEEE VIS conference from 2018 to 2022. Through the analysis of 140 pertinent papers, we establish a detailed classification principle for evaluation practices, using the Who, When, What, and How indicators. This principle covers facets such as analysis methods, targets, scenarios, participant expertise, and stages of occurrence.

Pupil Unleashed: Unraveling the Enigma of an Unusual Traumatic Head Injury: A Case Report.

Introduction: Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy after mild traumatic brain injury is unusual and prognostically significant due to unclear mechanisms and recovery challenges. We present a case of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy following minor head trauma, shedding light on this unusual occurrence.

Case Report: A 24-year-old male experienced severe vision loss and right-sided oculomotor nerve palsy after a motor vehicle collision.
