Resolution of Lipemia Retinalis With Lifestyle Modification.

To describe a case of lipemia retinalis, a rare ocular manifestation of hypertriglyceridemia that is characterized by a creamy-white to salmon-colored appearance to the fundus. A 55-year-old man was referred for an evaluation for diabetic retinopathy and was subsequently found to have marked lipemia retinalis. The patient's triglyceride levels were 3141 mg/dL; therefore, treatment was initiated with high-intensity statin therapy and lifestyle modifications.

Development of an affordable light emitting diode spectrophotometer paired with a Python program for calibration and linearity testing and the measurement of uranium(VI).

Uranium (U) is a radiologically and chemically toxic element that occurs naturally in water, soil, and rock at generally low levels. However, anthropogenic uranium can also leach into groundwater sources due to mining, ore refining, and improper nuclear waste management. Over the last few decades, various methods for measuring uranium have emerged; however, most of these techniques require skilled scientists to run samples on expensive instrumentation for detection or require the pretreatment of samples in complex procedures.

Electrohydraulic musculoskeletal robotic leg for agile, adaptive, yet energy-efficient locomotion.

Robotic locomotion in unstructured terrain demands an agile, adaptive, and energy-efficient architecture. To traverse such terrains, legged robots use rigid electromagnetic motors and sensorized drivetrains to adapt to the environment actively. These systems struggle to compete with animals that excel through their agile and effortless motion in natural environments.

Establishing Optic Nerve Diameter Threshold Sensitive and Specific for Optic Atrophy Diagnosis.

Purpose: To determine a potential threshold optic nerve diameter (OND) that could reliably differentiate healthy nerves from those affected by optic atrophy (OA) and to determine correlations of OND in OA with retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, visual acuity (VA), and visual field mean deviation (VFMD).

Methods: This was a retrospective case control study. Magnetic resonance (MR) images were reviewed from individuals with OA aged 18 years or older with vision loss for more than 6 months and an OA diagnosis established by a neuro-ophthalmologist.

PROPHYLACTIC TREATMENT OF LATTICE DEGENERATION IN FELLOW EYES AFTER REPAIR OF UNCOMPLICATED PRIMARY RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT.

Purpose: To evaluate prophylactic treatment (PTx) of lattice degeneration (LD) on retinal tear (RT) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) risk in fellow eyes of patients after primary RRD repair in the first eye.

Methods: This was a consecutive case series with cohort control involving patients with RRD repair from January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2017. Patients received PTx (PTx cohort) or no PTx (No-PTx cohort) in fellow eye with 5-year follow-up.
