Purpose: To characterize long-term real-world clinical outcomes of standalone canaloplasty and trabeculotomy using the OMNI Surgical System (Sight Sciences) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Design: Retrospective, clinical cohort study utilizing the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) data.
Subjects: Patients/eyes in the IRIS Registry with POAG or ocular hypertension with known laterality on or after January 1, 2016 and undergoing standalone canaloplasty and trabeculotomy using the OMNI Surgical System with at least 6 months and up to 36 months of postoperative follow-up were included.
Background: Preconception health education is critical to improve pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, but people with mobility disabilities have specific, often unique issues related to preparing for pregnancy. This study sought to develop consensus-based domains for a preconception education curriculum for people with mobility disabilities.
Methods: We used a mixed methods approach, including a literature review and a Delphi method to develop consensus.
The human-mediated transportation of stowaway individuals to non-native regions is a major driver of new biological invasions, and the post-establishment spread of the invader in its introduced range. In order for the stowaway individuals to successfully establish in the non-native region, they must survive the harsh conditions during the journey (e.g.

When crossing ecological barriers, like the open sea, they are exposed to an increased mortality risk due to energetically demanding long-distance flights and unexpected inclement weather events. How such barriers affect bat migratory movements is still poorly known.

Despite initial quality improvement efforts, our influenza vaccination rate plateaued at 72%, which prompted a survey of patients and families to assess provider vaccine recommendations, influenza knowledge, and barriers to influenza vaccination.
Methods: Patients on immunosuppressive medication or their parent were eligible to complete a survey between July 2019 and January 2020.
