Background: Three-dimensional printing is an underutilized technology in ophthalmology training; its use must be explored in complex educational scenarios. This study described a novel approach to trainee education of orbital fracture repair utilizing three-dimensional (3D) printed models as a teaching tool.
Methods: Ophthalmology residents and oculoplastic fellows from multiple training institutions underwent an educational session on orbital fractures, learning through four different models.
Objective: To report the incidence of and evaluate demographic, ocular comorbidities, and intraoperative factors for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and retinal tear (RT) after cataract surgery in the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Patients aged ≥ 40 years who underwent cataract surgery between 2014 and 2017.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find geographic and socioeconomic factors affecting how close people live to Phase 3 ophthalmology clinical trial sites across the US.
- The analysis used traffic data and census information to reveal that people in rural areas and certain regions (Midwest, South, West) tend to live farther from these trial sites, especially if they have visual impairments or lower socioeconomic status.
- Findings indicate significant disparities in access to clinical trials based on location and demographics, highlighting the need for improved access for those in underserved communities.
Background: We sought to improve the referral process to a community paramedicine (CP) program following a 9-1-1 encounter.
Methods: An electronic health record (EHR) for CP records with the ability to link to emergency EHR was identified and implemented with a single-click referral to the CP program. Referrals were tracked for 15 months before and after implementation.
Background: Intraoperative ultrasound (IUS) localization for breast cancer is a noninvasive localization technique. In 2015, an IUS program for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) was initiated in a large, integrated health care system. This study evaluated the clinical results of IUS implementation.
