Background: This study was developed to determine whether a machine learning model could be developed to assess blood pressure with accuracy comparable to arm cuff measurements.
Methods: A deep learning model was developed based on the UK Biobank dataset and was trained to detect both systolic and diastolic pressure. The hypothesis was formulated after data collection and before the development of the model.

Background: Diabetes poses a risk to diabetic keratopathy in up to two-thirds of patients. Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a protease that can break down insulin and several growth factors and may impair wound healing. Increased IDE levels have been found in fluid from diabetic skin ulcers.

- The study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown in Israel impacted the number and nature of ophthalmic consultations in a pediatric emergency department (PED) from March to April 2020, comparing it with the same period in 2019.
- Findings revealed a 52% decrease in PED visits during the lockdown, with a shift towards younger patients (ages 1-5) and later visit times, and notable changes in trauma patterns, including more sharp injuries occurring at home.
- The authors recommend that parents be educated on injury prevention and treatment, and suggest increasing the use of telemedicine and senior physician consultations in pediatric ophthalmic care during crises like pandemics.
Purpose: To investigate disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) as a biomarker in eyes with diabetic macular oedema (DME) treated by intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant.
Methods: Multicentre, retrospective study including eyes with DME treated with DEX implant and follow-up of 12 months after the first injection. OCT scans were evaluated for the presence of DRIL and other structural features.
