Pterygium is considered as important clinical problem due to its special characteristics such as high incidence, multi-factorial disorder and high recurrence rate. The purpose of this study is to identify the postoperative recurrence rate of pterygium and examine the association between systemic inflammation and the type of pterygium and pterygium recurrence. From January 2017 to January 2018, a total of 196 pterygium patients who received surgery were included in this study.

- Sleep deprivation (SD) negatively impacts the nervous system, particularly the retina, though the specific effects on retinal structures and functions are not fully understood.
- A study using a chronic SD mouse model found that four months of sleep loss led to decreased visual functions without significant morphological changes in the retina, revealing mitochondrial damage and increased oxidative stress.
- Resting and supplementing with antioxidants like α-lipoic acid and N-acetyl-l-cysteine can reduce oxidative stress, repair damaged mitochondria, and restore retinal functions, highlighting the importance of sleep and antioxidants for retinal health.
Background: To investigate microstructural alterations of white matter in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) patients by tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). . DTI was performed on 14 RVO patients and 14 normal controls (HCs).

Aim: To investigate the relationship between this brain activity and clinical manifestations and behaviors of DR patients by using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) technique.
Introduction: Orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare childhood malignancy with a good prognosis, but the optimal treatment remains unclear. Using a population-based cancer registry, we assessed the prognoses and survival outcomes of patients with orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma according to the local treatment strategy.
Patients And Methods: Patients diagnosed with orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma between 1988 and 2012 as part of the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program were included.
