Delphi-Based Global Consensus on Adopting Endothelial Keratoplasty: An Endothelial Keratoplasty Learners Group Initiative.

Purpose: To identify areas of consensus among experts on the performance of endothelial keratoplasty by using a modified Delphi approach, to help create a framework for novice surgeons to adopt these procedures.

Methods: Thirty-one international experts in endothelial keratoplasty participated. Two rounds of electronic survey were followed by a hybrid, virtual meeting.

Bridging the divide in organismal physiology: a case for the integration of behaviour as a physiological process.

The role of behaviour in animal physiology is much debated, with researchers divided between the traditional view that separates physiology and behaviour, and a progressive perspective that sees behaviour as a physiological effector. We advocate for the latter, and in this Commentary, we argue that behaviour is inherently a physiological process. To do so, we outline the physiological basis for behaviour and draw parallels with recognised physiological processes.

The effects of seasonal human mobility and Aedes aegypti habitat suitability on Zika virus epidemic severity in Colombia.

The Zika virus epidemic of 2015-16, which caused over 1 million confirmed or suspected human cases in the Caribbean and Latin America, was driven by a combination of movement of infected humans and availability of suitable habitat for mosquito species that are key disease vectors. Both human mobility and mosquito vector abundances vary seasonally, and the goal of our research was to analyze the interacting effects of disease vector densities and human movement across metapopulations on disease transmission intensity and the probability of super-spreader events. Our research uses the novel approach of combining geographical modeling of mosquito presence with network modeling of human mobility to offer a comprehensive simulation environment for Zika virus epidemics that considers a substantial number of spatial and temporal factors compared to the literature.

Evidence and Case Report in a Portuguese Hospital: Is Therapeutic Ultrasound a Viable Solution in the Treatment of Mastitis?

Mastitis is a very common maternal complication of lactation and contributes to early cessation of breastfeeding. Therapeutic ultrasound has been proposed as a non-invasive therapeutic alternative and has been added to the latest recommendations aimed at the treatment of mastitis spectrum disorders. In this article, we highlight the successful utilization of therapeutic ultrasound as part of the therapeutic program after the diagnosis of mastitis in a woman who was breastfeeding three newborn children.

Roadmap on computational methods in optical imaging and holography [invited].

Unlabelled: Computational methods have been established as cornerstones in optical imaging and holography in recent years. Every year, the dependence of optical imaging and holography on computational methods is increasing significantly to the extent that optical methods and components are being completely and efficiently replaced with computational methods at low cost. This roadmap reviews the current scenario in four major areas namely incoherent digital holography, quantitative phase imaging, imaging through scattering layers, and super-resolution imaging.
