Background: Several studies show that optical coherence tomography (OCT) metrics e with cognition, disability, and brain structure in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). This review the correlation between OCT parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements in PwMS.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed, including studies published in English up to November 29, 2024 to identify studies reporting quantitative data on the correlation between baseline OCT parameters and MRI measurements in PwMS.
Background: Alterations in structural connectivity of brain networks have been linked to complex cognitive functions in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). However, a definitive consensus on the optimal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) markers as indicators of cognitive performance remains incomplete and inconclusive. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the evidence on the correlation between DTI metrics and cognitive functions in PwMS.

MSrCI manifests across all disease stages, mainly impacting working memory, information processing, and attention. To date, the underlying mechanisms of MSrCI remain unclear, with its pathogenesis considered multifactorial.

Case Presentation: A 47-year-old male presented with a solitary, giant mass on his left upper eyelid, which had recently shown progressive enlargement.
Article Synopsis
- Bacterial keratitis (BK) is a serious eye infection that can cause blindness if not treated quickly, and this study presents a new treatment method using a composite hydrogel.
- The hydrogel combines silk fibroin and sodium alginate with antibiotic-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) that effectively deliver vancomycin and ceftazidime.
- The study shows that the hydrogel has good drug loading capacity, sustained release of the antibiotics, and confirmed safety for cell compatibility, suggesting it could improve BK treatment outcomes.
