Article Synopsis
- Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) can cause retinal toxicity, prominently manifesting as bull's eye maculopathy, but can be confused with other conditions.
- Identifying HCQ-related retinal toxicity is complicated due to similarities with other drug-related toxicities, genetic retinal disorders, and systemic diseases.
- The review highlights essential clinical and diagnostic differences to aid ophthalmologists and primary care providers in accurately diagnosing HCQ retinopathy.
Climate change, a significant factor in global health disparities, has been linked to numerous health issues, including oral health disorders such as dental caries and enamel hypoplasia. Sustainable Developmental Goal 13 (SDG 13) accentuates immediate action to battle climatic changes and their complications. This scoping review aimed to explore the existing evidence in the literature linking SDG 13 with Early Childhood Caries (ECC).

Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated outcomes of Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy in 260 eyes of 260 patients with uveitis. The main indications for performing capsulotomy were a visually significant posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and inability to visualize the posterior segment.
Introduction: The modified OXIS (O - open contact, X - point contact, I - straight contact, S - curved contact) classification provides a useful framework for assessing interproximal contacts in primary canines and predicting caries risk. The study aimed to assess the incidence of modified OXIS classification of canine interproximal contacts in six-to-nine-year-old children from the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the interproximal contact areas between primary canine and first molar among six-to-nine-year-old children (n=400) according to the modified OXIS classification using the die stone study model.
Article Synopsis
- Dietary lipids are crucial for energy, cell structure, and various physiological processes, with PUFAs being examined in diets for pigs in this study.
- The research focused on two pig breeds, Polish Landrace and PLxDuroc, comparing a normal diet to a PUFAs-enriched one while analyzing liver miRNA profiles for their impact on important agricultural traits.
- Findings highlighted significant gene interactions related to traits like meat color and fat thickness, revealing specific miRNA clusters linked to muscle development and other essential biological functions.
