Article Synopsis
- Extraocular electrical stimulation can protect retinal cells but currently relies on patients frequently setting up external electrodes, which is inconvenient.
- A new minimally-invasive implant has been developed to provide a reliable method for chronic electrical stimulation of the retina, aimed at improving patient adherence to treatment.
- In a study with adult felines, the device showed surgical and stimulation safety with no adverse effects, stable electrode performance, and no significant changes to retinal health, suggesting it could be a viable long-term solution.
Foodborne zoonotic trematodiasis is a public health problem in many countries. A study on digenean larvae (cercariae stage) obtained from snails in all ten main small canals and two rice fields was carried out in Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam to identify the snail composition and digenean prevalence in snails. The snails were sampled in the dry season (January 2022) and the wet season (June 2022).
