Background: Ocular surface disease (OSD) severity varies among glaucoma patients and is exacerbated by intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications.
Purpose: To determine OSD prevalence and dry eye severity among glaucoma patients at nine private clinics in Malaysia.
Methods: This multicentre, cross-sectional observational study recruited glaucoma patients undergoing routine eye examinations, with IOP ≤21mmHg receiving anti-glaucoma eye drops.
Background And Objective: Neuroanatomy is both terrifying to learn and problematic to teach, and the different methods of neuroanatomical education have their own strengths and weaknesses. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the perception of undergraduate medical students towards the combined use of plastinated and formalin-preserved brain specimen in their neuroanatomy course.
Methods: A bridging program was designed for students whose medical education was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in order to reinforce the knowledge and understanding of anatomy that they acquired in a virtual environment.
Background And Objective: The pandemic acted as an accelerator for the development of online teaching formats in anatomy and histology worldwide. The authors introduce a bridging program that reinforces the knowledge and understanding of gross and correlative anatomy and histology acquired in a virtual environment in preparation for its future clinical application. The study aims to evaluate the Learning Enhancement in Anatomy Program (LEAP) conducted among first-year medical students at the College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila.

- * A study involving 596 schoolchildren aged 8-12 years revealed a high prevalence of xerophthalmia (48.8%), primarily identified by conjunctival xerosis, and linked to factors like malnutrition and socio-demographic status.
- * Boys and indigenous Orang Asli children showed a higher risk for xerophthalmia, while overweight/obese children had a lower risk, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address VAD and its related health issues in these communities.
Article Synopsis
- Fibrous dysplasia is a rare condition where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, leading to skeletal lesions, as observed in an 18-year-old male with lesions in multiple skull bones.
- The patient underwent surgery involving the removal of the tumor, followed by a complex skull base reconstruction using various grafts and a custom 3D-printed model to replicate the skull structure.
- The case highlights the effectiveness of personalized reconstruction techniques using 3D printing and affordable materials in treating skull base defects after fibrous dysplasia surgery.
