Comparison of Efficacy of Micropulse Laser Settings for Glaucoma Management.

: This study aims to compare micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) laser parameters and determine the optimal laser setting. : A retrospective study was performed on 351 eyes from patients who underwent MP-TSCPC at four power settings (1500 mW, 2000 mW, 2250 mW, and 2500 mW) from June 2018 to December 2021. The primary measurements of the efficacy of MP-TSCPC were the degree of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and the number of glaucoma medication reductions.

Early literacy training among medical students.

Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics regards literacy promotion as essential. Medical professionals are in a key position to promote children's early literacy, however this requires knowledge of existing literacy programmes. This study describes medical student training, awareness, experiences, and attitudes towards early literacy and the 'Reach Out and Read' (ROR) initiative.
