Custom ocular prostheses incorporating braille for a patient with bilateral anophthalmia: A clinical report.

Bilateral anophthalmia, a clinical condition characterized by the absence of globe and ocular tissues from both the orbits, presents considerable challenges to a patient's daily routine and use of prostheses. The patient's inability to orientate custom ocular prostheses (COPs) 3-dimensionally is understandable, and they typically rely on caregivers to manage the prostheses and prevent inadvertent injury to the socket. This clinical report describes the successful integration of braille script into COPs as a solution to these challenges by improving prosthesis management, decreasing caregiver dependence, and encouraging independence.

Homeopathic Management of Bulky Uterus with Uterine Fibroid in a 40-year-old Patient: An Evidence-Based Case Report.

Background:  Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumours that arise in the uterine smooth muscle tissue and are characterized by the production of excessive quantities of extracellular matrix. Various therapeutic options, from medical management to surgical intervention, exist for uterine fibroids, for which homeopathy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option in patient-centered care.

Case History:  A 40-year-old woman presented with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding, with pain in the pelvic region and back.

Detrimental to Our Digital Well-Being: Campus Sexual Misconduct and Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence Among University Students in Singapore.

Although increasingly prevalent in Singapore, campus sexual assault and harassment and technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) remain underresearched. Conducted by scholars across social work, gender studies, policy studies, communication, and computer science, this interdisciplinary study explores the impact of technologies such as social media and online platforms on the digital well-being of university students in Singapore who experience TFSV and campus sexual misconduct. We conducted online surveys with 314 students and interviews with 28 students, the majority of whom were women and identified as victim-survivors.

Near field communication tag to provide a unique identification aid for custom ocular prostheses.

This technique describes a smartphone-enabled near field communication tag used as an identification aid for a custom ocular prosthesis for a pediatric patient. Near field communication tags are straightforward to read, can be readily connected to smartphone devices without the need for specialized equipment, store data in a variety of ways, are inexpensive, exceptionally thin, and flexible, and tolerate resin polymerization temperatures, making them suitable as an identification aid for an ocular prosthesis.

Correlation of pain perception and fentanyl consumption after major abdominal surgery with CGRP 4218T/C polymorphism: A prospective interventional study.

Background And Aims: Genetic polymorphisms contribute to patients' variability in pain perception and response to opioid treatment. The present study evaluated the association of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) 4218T/C polymorphisms with fentanyl consumption over 24 h postoperatively in patients after major abdominal surgery.

Methods: Eighty-five patients undergoing major abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia were recruited.
