The purpose of this study is to investigate the improvement in visual acuity when applying Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses (RGPCL) compared to spectacles in patients after surgical treatment for infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). A total of 33 patients with nystagmus who had nystagmus surgery from October 2020 to July 2021 were enrolled and all were fitted RGPCL. SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the difference between best-corrected visual acuity with spectacle(BCSVA) and best-corrected visual acuity with RGPCL (BCRVA) in these patients.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether video laryngoscopy could improve the clinical outcomes of emergency tracheal intubation.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane databases up to 5 September 2024.
Article Synopsis
- Ferroptosis, a type of cell death, is gaining attention in cancer research as a potential treatment target, particularly in hepatoblastoma (HB).
- The study reveals that LATS2, a key player in the Hippo pathway, is decreased in HB cells and its overexpression can trigger ferroptosis, thereby inhibiting tumor cell growth.
- The mechanism for reduced LATS2 involves m6A modification, which promotes its degradation and links the YAP1/ATF4/PSAT1 pathway to HB progression, suggesting LATS2 as a viable therapeutic target for HB.
Article Synopsis
- * Industrial production methods primarily include chemical hydrogenation, but microbial fermentation and catalysis are gaining attention due to their advantages, such as higher specificity, no harmful by-products, and mild reaction conditions.
- * Although microbial methods face challenges like high costs and longer production times, advancements in technology and substrate utilization may enhance their viability, contributing to greener manufacturing and the development of bio-based products in the future.
Background: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) or its earlier stage Acute lung injury (ALI), is a worldwide health concern that jeopardizes human well-being. Currently, the treatment strategies to mitigate the incidence and mortality of ARDS are severely restricted. This limitation can be attributed, at least in part, to the substantial variations in immunity observed in individuals with this syndrome.
