Sample characteristics for quantitative analyses in Body Image: Issues of generalisability.

Psychological research frequently encounters criticism regarding the representativeness of the samples under study, highlighting concerns about the external validity of the obtained results. Here, we conducted a comprehensive survey of all the quantitative samples from the journal Body Image for 2021 (n = 149 samples). Our primary objective was to examine the extent to which the sampled populations deviated from the population at large, which could potentially compromise the generalizability of findings.

Methodological issues when using face prototypes: A case study on the Faceaurus dataset.

Prototype faces, created by averaging faces from several individuals sharing a common characteristic (for example a certain personality trait), can be used for highly informative experimental designs in face research. Although the facial prototype method is both ingenious and useful, we argue that its implementation is associated with three major issues: lack of external validity and non-independence of the units of information, both aggravated by a lack of transparency regarding the methods used and their limitations. Here, we describe these limitations and illustrate our claims with a systematic review of studies creating facial stimuli using the prototypes dataset 'Faceaurus'.

Posterior Corneal Asphericity and the Refractive Outcome after Combined Phacovitrectomy.

Background: We assessed the correlation of posterior corneal asphericity and the refractive prediction error of the SRK-T and Barrett II Universal formulas for eyes following phacovitrectomy with peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 41 eyes of 41 patients following a combined phacovitrectomy with ILM peeling. Surgeries were performed by one fellowship-trained vitreoretinal surgeon between 2016 and 2021.

Visual Outcomes after Implantation of Lucidis EDOF IOL.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual performance and clinical outcomes after implantation of Lucidis EDOF IOL following cataract surgery.

Design: In this retrospective study, medical records from all enrolled patients were analyzed, and the following information was extracted retrospectively over 3 months following surgery.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed retrospectively 181 eyes of 98 patients, who underwent cataract surgery with Lucidis extended depth of focus IOL.

Influence of Posterior Corneal Asphericity On Power Calculation Error After Laser In Situ Keratomileusis or Photorefractive Keratectomy for Myopia.

Objectives: To assess the impact of posterior corneal asphericity on postoperative calculation error using the Haigis-L and the Barrett formulas for eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

Methods: We assessed the mean absolute error (MAE) of two power calculation formulas, Barrett true-K and Haigis-L formulas, in a retrospective analysis of 34 eyes of 34 patients who underwent cataract surgery. We performed a regression analysis between corneal parameters (anterior and posterior Q values, Kmax, K1, and K2) and the MAE of each formula.
