New horizons in aniridia management: Clinical insights and therapeutic advances.

Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic eye disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of the iris from birth. Various theories and animal models have been proposed to understand and explain the pathogenesis of aniridia. In the majority of cases, aniridia is caused by a mutation in the gene, which affects multiple structures within the eye.

A global examination of ecological niche modeling to predict emerging infectious diseases: a systematic review.

Introduction: As emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) increase, examining the underlying social and environmental conditions that drive EIDs is urgently needed. Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is increasingly employed to predict disease emergence based on the spatial distribution of biotic conditions and interactions, abiotic conditions, and the mobility or dispersal of vector-host species, as well as social factors that modify the host species' spatial distribution. Still, ENM applied to EIDs is relatively new with varying algorithms and data types.

Corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) in eye bank.

This case series highlights the challenges in eye banking and the importance of a quality assurance program. Three cases triggered corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) to improve the processes. Case 1 emphasized training to prevent retrieval failures.
