Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how common Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and other eye diseases are in late preterm infants at a hospital in Turkey and whether routine ROP screenings are necessary.
- It included 600 late preterm infants from a neonatal intensive care unit, finding that 3.3% developed ROP and 4.8% had other eye issues, with a significant link between these conditions and lower birth weight and gestational age.
- The researchers concluded that while the incidence of ROP in late preterm infants is low, routine screening is essential to identify and treat ROP and other ocular problems early, preventing serious vision loss.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of superior (SI) and temporal (TI) clear corneal incisions on corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery with healthy corneas and mild astigmatism.
- 102 eyes were analyzed, with measurements taken before and 6 weeks after surgery, revealing significant changes in HOAs only in the SI group, particularly vertical and horizontal coma.
- The findings suggest that while SI can alter corneal HOAs and potentially impact vision quality post-surgery, TI may offer advantages by not producing significant changes.
Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite infecting all mammals including humans and causes toxoplasmosis. There is no vaccine available for humans and thus vaccine development efforts continue using novel antigens and/or vaccine platforms. Since our previous microarray screening study showed that ROP6 is a suitable antigen to be used in vaccine studies, in this study, we aimed to design an optimized mRNA construct encoding the ROP6 protein and then demonstrate its efficiency and immunogenicity using in vitro methods.

Methods: In this registry study, 558 patients from 47 centers who were treated with at least one immunosuppressive agent and had adequate follow-up data were included. Primary outcome was defined as complete (CR) or partial remission (PR).
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and potential risk factors associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in very low birth weight (BW) ROP patients stratified by different BW categories.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined very low BW patients (≤1500 g) treated at a neonatal intensive care unit and subsequently assessed for ROP at the outpatient clinic. Data on gestational age (GA), BW, ROP severity, treatments, and outcomes were collected following international ROP classification criteria.
