Introduction: Evaluating clinical and biometric factors leading to a prediction error related to lens position in pars plana vitrectomy Methods: This study was conducted as a consecutive retrospective case series at the Department of Ophthalmology, Montpellier University Hospital. All medical files and PCI biometrical reports from a single surgeon were reviewed from 2017 to 2019. Patients who had phacoemulsification with the ASPHINA 509MP® IOL were selected and stratified into 3 groups: phacoemulsification alone (group 1), phacoemulsification and vitrectomy with gas tamponade (group2), and phacoemulsification and vitrectomy without tamponade (group 3).

A TiO/graphene quantum dots composite (TiO/GQDs) obtained by in situ synthesis of GQDs, derived from coffee grounds, and peroxo titanium complexes was used as electrode modifier in the simultaneous electrochemical determination of uric acid and hypoxanthine. The TiO/GQDs material was characterized by photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray mapping. The TiO/GQDs-GCE exhibits better electrochemical activity for uric acid and hypoxanthine than GQDs/GCE or TiO/GCE in differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements.

Aeromonas hydrophila has been identified as a causative agent of necrotizing fasciitis and myonecrosis, with most reported cases having a connection to aquatic-related trauma. Cases without such trauma history are rare in existing literature. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old cirrhotic patient who lacked any prior aquatic-related trauma and arrived at the emergency department in a state of septic shock.

Article Synopsis
  • A method was developed to create cobalt ferrite/graphene quantum dot nanoparticles (CF/GQDs) through a thermal hydrolysis process using iron nitrate, cobalt nitrate, and starch at temperatures of 140, 180, and 200 °C for 24 hours.
  • The resulting CF/GQDs nanoparticles, characterized using various techniques, showed sizes of around 8-10 nm and exhibited promising fluorescent and superparamagnetic properties essential for catalytic use.
  • These nanoparticles effectively catalyze the degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light and can be recycled using a magnetic field, maintaining about 95% efficiency even after three uses.

Background: Mental disorders are the leading global cause of health burden among adolescents. However, prevalence data for mental disorders among adolescents in low-income and middle-income countries are scarce with often limited generalisability. This study aimed to generate nationally representative prevalence estimates for mental disorders in adolescents in Kenya, Indonesia, and Viet Nam.
