Purpose: To analyze patients with optic disc drusen (ODD), with emphasis on modern diagnostics.
Materials And Methods: Research of the literature was conducted, together with a retrospective statistical analysis of patients with ODD. The group included individuals with ODD diagnosed using at least one of the following (ultrasound - USG, optical coherence tomography - OCT, fundus autofluorescence - FAF).
Article Synopsis
- Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight-threatening condition affecting mainly premature infants, still a major cause of childhood blindness globally despite advances in care.
- This research presents a comprehensive dataset of 6,004 retinal images from 188 newborns, with details from ROP screenings in the Czech Republic, utilizing three different imaging camera systems.
- The study introduces an automated software tool, ReLeSeT, for segmenting retinal lesions and enhancing features in retinal images, along with pre-processing tools to improve classification and segmentation models for ROP analysis.
This contribution gives basic information about the mechanical behavior of the facial part of the human skull cranium, i.e., the splanchnocranium, associated with external loads and injuries caused mainly by brachial violence.

This paper presents a retrospective review of patterns found in cases of homicides by sharp force over a 13-year period at the Department of Forensic Pathology of the Ostrava University Hospital, Czech Republic. The review summarizes all frequently discussed aspects of such cases including the number and localization of injuries, the presence of defensive wounds, the type of the offending weapon, the cause of death, the place of death, victims' and perpetrators' profiles, their relationship, or toxicological findings. Furthermore, special attention was paid to the evaluation of any accompanying blunt force trauma that may be indicative of an escalation of the assault.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 69 patients with OFBF was performed (35 treated conservatively, 34 surgically). The role of orthoptics in referring to surgery or conservative treatment was retrospectively evaluated, the factors with the highest significance for decision making were identified, and a scoring system proposed using Logistic regression.
