Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanoparticles having different optical and electrical properties when compared to larger particles. They exhibit photoluminescence when irradiated with ultraviolet light, which is due to the transition of an excited electron from the valence band to the conductance band followed by the return of the exciting electron back into the valence band. The size and material of QDs can affect their optical and other properties too.

Intramedullary nails, long and short, are widely used for fixation of trochanteric femur fractures. In theory, long nails may be able to protect the entire length of the femur from a future periprosthetic fracture, providing that the nail spans the length of the entire femoral canal. The described technique for long nail insertion calls for the use of an intramedullary guidewire and depth gauge for premeasurement of the length of the canal, as well as the use of a reamer.

Background: Osteochondral lesions of the tibial plafond (OLTPs) remain less common than osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), but recognition of the condition has increased.

Purpose: To systematically evaluate the literature on lesion locations and treatment outcomes of OLTPs, whether in isolation or in combination with OLTs.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Background: Peripapillary sparing is a characteristic that is traditionally described as pathognomonic for Stargardt disease.

Materials And Methods: We present a multimodal assessment of four Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) cases with congenital macular atrophy and severely attenuated electroretinogram findings caused by bilallelic mutations in RDH12.

Results: Fundus autofluorescence imaging revealed a general loss of retinal pigment epithelium across the macula except for the peripapillary region in both eyes of all patients.
