Retrobulbar/intraconal tube placement in patients with glaucoma: Ahmed FP-7 and tube extender case series with 1 year follow-up.

Purpose: The Ahmed FP-7 valve is useful in the management of refractory glaucoma. However, this can often have ocular hypertensive phase and subconjunctival fibrosis that can lead to increased medication use and failure. We report how retrobulbar and intraconal plate placement with tube extension can avoid the ocular hypertensive phase, lower intraocular pressure, and reduce medication burden.

The influence of mood on the jumping to conclusions bias in individuals with schizotypal traits: an experience sampling paradigm.

The jumping to conclusions bias (JTC) refers to making a decision before collecting a sufficient amount of information to warrant doing so. Very little research has been conducted on the ways in which mood influences JTC in schizophrenia and healthy individuals along the continuum of risk for psychosis. It was hypothesized that elevations in schizotypal traits will be associated with greater JTC, and that negative affect will moderate the relationship between schizotypal traits and JTC.

Validation of a Novel Low-Cost Glaucoma Risk Calculator for Community-Based Screening in High-Risk Populations.

Purpose: To assess the validity of a novel, low-cost glaucoma screening calculator in determining glaucoma risk in high-risk New York communities.

Patients And Methods: This prognostic community-based study was conducted in New York City neighborhoods from 2022 to 2024 among participants aged 40 years and older. Glaucoma screenings were held at community gatherings including local fairs, senior citizen homes, places of worship, and in the lobby of medical offices.

Background: Preventing sexual assault in the United States (U.S.) military is essential to safeguard the overall well-being of military personnel and support the military to function in alignment with its intended mission and objectives.

Disruption of serotonin homeostasis in intestinal organoids provides insights into drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity.

Drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity is a frequent clinical adverse event that needs to be carefully monitored and managed to ensure patient compliance. While preclinical assessment of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity mostly relies on animal experimentation, intestinal organoids have gained increasing attention to identify gastrointestinal toxicants in vitro. Nonetheless, current in vitro protocols primarily assess structural alterations induced by drugs, whereas gastrointestinal adverse events can often stem from functional disturbances.
