Article Synopsis
- - Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging technique for assessing coronary artery disease (CAD) and is increasingly complemented by AI technology, enhancing its accuracy and efficiency in comparison to traditional methods.
- - AI-driven CCTA (AI-CCTA) drastically reduces radiation exposure while maintaining high-quality imaging and achieving similar accuracy to expert human analysis, making it a safer option for patients.
- - Despite its advancements, AI-CCTA still faces challenges such as being in the early stages of development, requiring further AI model improvements, and needing more validation studies before it can be widely implemented in clinical practice.
Prcis: Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) may be an effective first-line surgery for decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden in patients with uveitis-related ocular hypertension (OHT) or glaucoma.
Objective: The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of GATT in lowering IOP in uveitis-related OHT or glaucoma.
Methods: Retrospective case series that included patients with uveitis-related OHT or glaucoma who underwent GATT with or without concomitant cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation at 2 Canadian academic centres from July 2018 to May 2022.
An 81-year-old male with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease presents with asymptomatic bradycardia. Examination was notable for an early diastolic heart sound. 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed sinus bradycardia with a markedly prolonged PR interval and second-degree atrioventricular block, type I Mobitz.

Design: Non-comparative single-centre cohort study.
Participants: Twenty patients (40 eyes) with significant cataracts and corneal astigmatism who underwent immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery with the AcrySof IQ Vivity Extended Vision Lens (Alcon Laboratories Inc, Fort Worth, Tex.
