Article Synopsis
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is an ingredient in artificial tears that may impact gut microbiome diversity, but this study aims to evaluate its effect on the ocular surface microbiome instead.
- A clinical trial with 80 healthy participants found that CMC did not significantly change microbiome diversity or composition when compared to a control substance, polyethylene glycol.
- While CMC decreased certain bacterial taxa and increased others, it did not show any significant advantages over polyethylene glycol in improving Ocular Surface Disease Index scores or overall effectiveness.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disease in premature neonates that requires a skilled workforce for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Artificial intelligence is a valuable tool that clinicians employ to reduce the screening burden on ophthalmologists and neonatologists and improve the detection of treatment-requiring ROP. Neural networks such as convolutional neural networks and deep learning (DL) systems are used to calculate a vascular severity score (VSS), an important component of various risk models.

Methods: This systematic review was performed using PRISMA-P guidelines. PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Trials, and Embase were queried for articles evaluating the relationship between humeral lengthening and clinical outcomes inclusive of range of motion (ROM), strength, outcome scores, and pertinent complications (acromial and scapular spine fractures, nerve injury) after RSA.
Background: Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) may adopt different movement patterns and participate in physical activity during different states of disease.
Research Question: Which specific features of gait and physical function performance differ among children with active or inactive JIA compared to healthy children?
Methods: Forty-three children participated (14.5 ± 4.
Purpose: To analyze vision outcomes after open globe injury and propose modifications to the ocular trauma score to offer more specific vision prognoses.
Design: Validity and reliability analysis.
Methods: Patients presenting to the University of Florida with a new open globe injury from October 2015 to January 2021 with subsequent follow-up were included in the study.
Background: Patient survivorship and risk factors of mortality after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are seldom and inadequately studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mortality rates and predictors of 1-year and overall mortality after RTSA.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1518 consecutive adult patients who underwent RTSA at our institution.
