Purpose: To describe a surgical technique for retinal detachment with undetected retinal breaks, which combines pars plana vitrectomy and external subretinal fluid (SRF) drainage.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, patients with a diagnosis of retinal detachment with undetected retinal breaks were enrolled. Standard three-port 25-gauge (G) core and peripheral pars plana vitrectomy was performed.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the microcirculation of the macula, the optic nerve, and the choroid in patients with migraine by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) during spontaneous migraine attacks, comparing the findings with scans performed in the interictal period in the same subjects and healthy controls (HCs).
Methods: In this case-crossover design study, patients diagnosed with migraine who underwent an OCTA during a migraine attack were enrolled. A cohort of HCs was recruited for comparison.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the characteristics of advanced ocular surface squamous neoplasia and eyelid tumors, as well as the effectiveness of post-operative high-dose-rate interventional radiotherapy in their management.
- Nineteen patients with advanced cancers underwent surgery followed by HDR-IRT, delivering a total of 49 Gy in 14 fractions, focusing on local disease control as the primary outcome along with survival and toxicity as secondary outcomes.
- Results showed local recurrences in some cases, particularly with conjunctival melanomas and squamous cell carcinoma, with a median overall survival of 56.3 months; however, treatment effectiveness varied, highlighting the need for larger multicenter studies.
Background: Visual snow (VS) and visual snow syndrome (VSS) are becoming increasingly recognized. However, their prevalence worldwide is unknown. This study aimed to investigate lifetime prevalence and describe the clinical characteristics of VS and VSS in a representative population sample from Italy.

This paper uses content analysis to investigate such negative social externalities within local communities and neighbourhoods. Through a corpus of 90 news articles about traffic incidents caused by navigation technologies, we identified negative traffic and safety-related externalities, including congestion, damage, pollution, and accidents.
