Purpose: To compare the corneal epithelial thickness along the flat and steep meridians of corneas with low and high toricity.
Methods: This was a prospective observational comparative study on healthy subjects with normal corneas seeking preoperative evaluation for refractive surgery at a university-based hospital. Subjects with up to 2 diopters (D) of corneal with-the-rule astigmatism were defined as low corneal toricity (CT), whereas cylinder > two-dimensional was considered as high CT.

Objectives: Leadership within medical academic institutions often adheres to hierarchical structures, relying on factors like seniority and context, with limited focus on leadership development. This study aims to develop a structured framework by examining the traits, aspirations, and pre-requisites of academic leaders within medical school faculties.
Methods: A cross-sectional study collected input from regular medical faculty and those in leadership roles through an online questionnaire, followed by quantitative and qualitative analyses.
Article Synopsis
- Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are rare congenital disorders of the female reproductive system, affecting about 0.5%-5.0% of the population due to abnormal development of the Müllerian ducts.
- A case study describes a 16-year-old Middle Eastern girl with primary amenorrhea and abdominal pain, diagnosed with uterine didelphys accompanied by a transverse vaginal septum.
- This specific combination is exceptionally uncommon, with this being only the third reported case in medical literature, differing from the more typical association of uterine didelphys with a longitudinal vaginal septum.
Background: Empathy is an essential core competency for future doctors. Unfortunately, the medical curriculum is infamously known to burn out aspiring doctors, which may potentially lead to a decline in empathy among medical students. This research was planned to understand the evolution of empathic approaches among students across the curriculum using the Interpersonal reactivity index (IRI) as a benchmark at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland - Medical University of Bahrain (RCSI-MUB) and University of Sharjah (UoS).
