The authors report a case of nontraumatic orbital subperiosteal hematoma after general anesthesia with patient in the prone position. The patient, who was on aspirin, clopidogrel, and subcutaneous heparin, presented immediately after sacral ulcer debridement with acute bilateral vision loss and periorbital edema. While the OD improved with conservative management, the OS continued to have 20/200 vision, decreased color vision, afferent pupillary defect, and extraocular movement limitation after lateral canthotomy and cantholysis.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mavacamten is a groundbreaking drug approved for treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), showing notable improvements in heart function and symptoms in 50 real-world patients.
  • - Patients experienced significant reductions in heart wall thickness and related complications, with only a small number needing to temporarily stop treatment due to minor decreases in heart function.
  • - The approach taken at the care center allowed for the rapid introduction and monitoring of this new therapy, reinforcing mavacamten's safety and effectiveness outside of traditional clinical trial settings.

How well a caption fits an image can be difficult to assess due to the subjective nature of caption quality. What is a caption? We investigate this problem by focusing on image-caption ratings and by generating high quality datasets from human feedback with gamification. We validate the datasets by showing a higher level of inter-rater agreement, and by using them to train custom machine learning models to predict new ratings.

Article Synopsis
  • - The You Described, We Archived (YuWA) dataset is a project by San Francisco State University and The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, gathering audio description data globally from 2013-2022 through the YouDescribe tool, aimed at making YouTube videos accessible for blind and visually impaired viewers.
  • - YouDescribe allows users to request and create audio descriptions for YouTube videos, supported by a community of over 3,000 volunteers who script and record descriptions, resulting in over 5,500 audio described videos.
  • - The YuWA dataset, which includes audio descriptions along with metadata about describers and viewers, can be used for research in areas like AI, machine learning, and sociolinguistics, enhancing

To investigate synergistic effect between geometric and electronic structures on directing CORR selectivity, water phase synthetic protocol and surface architecture engineering strategy are developed to construct monodispersed Bi-doped Cu-based nanocatalysts. The strongly correlated catalytic directionality and Bi dopant can be rationalized by the regulation of [*COOH]/[*CO] adsorption capacities through the appropriate doping of Bi electronic modulator, resulting in volcano relationship between FE/TOF and surface EVBM values. Spectroscopic study reveals that the dual-site binding mode ([Cu─μ─C(═O)O─Bi]) enabled by CuBi motif in single-phase CuBi nanocatalyst drives CO2-to-CO conversion.
