Infectious keratitis is a significant ocular disease that, if left untreated, can lead to blindness. Fungi are among the causative agents that can result in severe symptoms. Keratitis infections are prevalent globally, with a higher incidence reported in tropical and subtropical regions.

Generally, the preparation of reliable groundwater vulnerability maps provides targeted and practical scientific measures for the protection and management of groundwater resources. In this study, in order to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability of Kerman-Baghin plain aquifer, two developed indicators including composite DRASTIC index (CD) and nitrate vulnerability index (NVI) based on DRASTIC index were considered.

Here we present a case of a 63-year-old man with coronavirus disease 2019 infection, along with rhinosinusitis mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus delemar.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old Iranian man suffering from a coronavirus disease 2019 infection with symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and generalized body pain.
Objectives: To assess the influence of age and gender on ocular biometric values and corneal astigmatism features in individuals undergoing phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens implantation.
Methodology: This retrospective study measured ocular biometrics and corneal keratometric astigmatism using the IOLMaster 700 instrument prior to phacoemulsification surgery and intraocular lens implantation.
Results: Analysis included ocular biometric and keratometric values from 3385 eyes of 3385 patients.
Article Synopsis
- iRBD (idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder) may signal the early onset of α-synucleinopathies like Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, but there is a lack of studies on cortical surface morphology.
- This research examined 30 patients with probable iRBD and 33 healthy controls, utilizing MRI and neurophysiological tests to analyze cortical thickness, gyrification, and sulcal depth.
- Results showed that piRBD patients had reduced cortical thickness and volume in several brain regions and found correlations between brain morphology and clinical assessments, suggesting potential early diagnostic markers for iRBD.
