Background: It is unknown at this time whether Jetstream atherectomy (JET) and paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) provides a superior outcome to balloon angioplasty (PTA) followed by PCB in treating femoropopliteal (FP) arterial disease.

Methods: The JET-RANGER study was a multicenter (eleven US centers) randomized trial, core lab-adjudicated, designed to demonstrate the superiority of JET + PCB versus PTA + PCB in treating FP arterial disease. The study intended to enroll 255 patients, but was stopped early because of poor enrollment due to COVID-19 and concerns about the association of paclitaxel with mortality.

Purpose: To evaluate the dose-response relationship for primary bilateral medial rectus resection in children with exotropia, based on outcomes with this procedure.

Methods: Dose-response at both distance and near were calculated as prism diopters correction per millimeter (PD/mm) of rectus resection. All surgeries were performed under general anesthesia through a fornix incision, using doubled-armed 6-0 polyglactin sutures.

: Age norms and testability for 3-5 year old children have been reported for the PASS III stereotest using a pointing response. We aimed to expand the normative data to children as young as 6 months, assess testability, and evaluate validity use of the PASS III as a preferential-looking test for younger children and children with special needs. : 68 control children, 362 children with eye conditions, and 167 children with special needs were tested with the PASS III.

Objectives: To report the myopic shift in the aphakic eyes of a cohort of children who underwent unilateral cataract surgery during infancy and were then followed longitudinally for 10.5 years.

Methods: One-half of the children enrolled in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS) were randomized to aphakia and contact lens correction after unilateral cataract surgery.
