The authors describe a case of reverse pupillary block with pigment dispersion following sequential phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation for high myopia, in a young female patient. The intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation began 3 weeks postoperatively, for which Nd-YAG laser peripheral iridotomies (PIs) were attempted elsewhere. Despite maximum medical therapy, the IOP was uncontrolled.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of mother-infant dyads with potential congenital syphilis in a Missouri hospital system.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic reduced the general accessibility of health services. Many sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment sites modified services (e.g.

Additionally, sulfur is relatively abundant and environmentally benign. Yet, issues like the low conductivity of sulfur, polysulfide (PS) formation, and shuttling have hindered the development of sulfur chemistries.

Over its first 5 years, TIDIRH provided an in-person, week-long training to 197 investigators who were new to the dissemination and implementation (D&I) field. This paper evaluates the long-term impact of TIDIRH on trainees' use of D&I methods, collaborations, and research funding.
