Purpose: To assess the refractive predictability of the Carlevale sutureless scleral fixation intraocular lens (IOL) (Sole-ko IOL Division) power calculation.

Methods: This retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series included patients without a capsular support having undergone sutureless scleral fixation IOL implantation in two French hospitals between October 2019 and April 2022. IOL calculation was performed with the Barrett Universal II, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulas with constant optimization to achieve a mean arithmetic prediction error equal to zero.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether high-flow nasal oxygen improves respiratory function in patients with acute heart failure compared to noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
  • It includes a pilot study with 60 adult patients experiencing acute respiratory failure, focusing on changes in respiratory rate as the primary outcome within the first hour of treatment.
  • After comparing the results, high-flow nasal oxygen showed a slightly greater reduction in respiratory rates than NIV, though the difference was not statistically significant.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between sebaceous neoplasms (SNs) and Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS), aiming to find the best methods for early detection of associated internal cancers.
  • It involves 107 patients and employs immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular biology techniques to assess the presence of deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) in these tumors, alongside calculating a Mayo Clinic risk score for MTS.
  • Findings suggest that using the Mayo Clinic risk score as a first step, followed by IHC testing, offers the most effective and cost-efficient approach to screen for MTS in patients with SNs.

Background: The Generic Adherence for Chronic Diseases Profile is a French generic scale (GACID-P) developed to measure adherence in several disease areas such as cardiology, rheumatology, diabetes, cancer and infectiology.

Method: We aimed to study the measurement invariance of the Generic Adherence for Chronic Diseases Profile by an item response model, optimize the new instrument version from item response model and qualitative content analyses results, and validate the instrument. The metric properties of the optimized version were studied according to classical test theory and item response model analysis.
