Outcomes of resident-performed laser-assisted vs traditional phacoemulsification.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery (CPS) by resident surgeons.

Setting: Parkland Memorial Health and Hospital System, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Design: Prospective randomized study.

Supervised resident manual small-incision cataract surgery outcomes at large urban United States residency training program.

Purpose: To examine the outcomes of resident-performed manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) in an urban academic setting.

Setting: Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy and RNA Foci in Patients With Myotonic Dystrophy.

Purpose: The most common cause of Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is an intronic CTG repeat expansion in TCF4. Expanded CUG repeat RNA colocalize with splicing factor, muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1), in nuclear foci in endothelium as a molecular hallmark. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of DMPK.
