A Nomogram to Improve the Predictability of High Myopic Astigmatism in Small Incision Lenticule Extraction Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate a new regression-derived nomogram for high myopic astigmatism in small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery.

Methods: In this prospective study, data from 180 eyes with myopic astigmatism ranging from -2.50 to -4.

Noninvasive assessment of hepatic steatosis grades by ultrasound derived fat fraction in metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease.

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) and clinical prediction models in assessing hepatic steatosis grades in MASLD patients, with liver biopsy as reference standard.A total of 85 obese patients who were found to have fatty liver by B-mode ultrasound and underwent UDFF measurement, with liver biopsy available, were enrolled. The diagnostic performance of UDFF, clinical prediction models including fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), ZheJiang University index (ZJU index) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) for hepatic steatosis was assessed.

Dosimetric comparison and evaluation of different convergence modes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma using VMAT treatment deliveries.

Background: This study investigates the impact of convergence mode (CM) in Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems) on the quality and complexity of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 21 NPC patients. For each patient, three VMAT plans with different CM settings (Off, On, and Extended) were created using identical optimization objectives.

Application of disitamab vedotin in the multiline treatment of EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma with Her-2 overexpression.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of c in the multiline treatment of late-stage lung adenocarcinoma with Her-2 overexpression and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

Methods: We summarize the diagnosis and treatment of a female patient with EGFR 21L858R mutation combined with Her-2 overexpression in advanced lung adenocarcinoma, and analyze the effect of c in her treatment process.

Results: The patient was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma 8 years ago.

Whether perceived limb heaviness affects return to work among patients with ischemic stroke.

This study aims to explore the relationship between perceived limb heaviness and return to work (RTW) among ischemic stroke patients. We retrospectively reviewed the data of consecutive participants recruited in the CIRCLE study. Perceived limb heaviness was gathered from self-reported by 1-year follow-up.
