A proposed framework to address metric inflation in research publications.

Background: Since the advent of online research metrics, which began with Web of Science in 1997, these metrics have been increasingly used to rank researchers and universities. Over the last two decades, the easy access to research metrics has greatly benefitted the academic community and beyond by providing quantitative measures for ranking researchers, universities and departments. However, this accessibility, accompanied by a tendency to quantitatively evaluate research quality and impact, has also shifted the focus toward practices aimed at enhancing research metrics rather than pursuing high-quality, potentially path-breaking research.

Potential impacts of optimised care pathways on carbon impact of anaesthesia consultation - a monocenter prospective study.

Background: Global warming presents major public health challenges, with healthcare transportation significantly contributing to carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (eCO). While the greenhouse effects of anaesthetic gases are well-documented, the eCO of pre-anaesthesia consultations remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate and propose strategies to reduce the carbon impact of these consultations at a Tertiary University Hospital.

Olaparib as Treatment Versus Nonplatinum Chemotherapy in Patients With Platinum-Sensitive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer: Phase III SOLO3 Study Final Overall Survival Results.

Olaparib treatment significantly improved objective response rate (primary end point) and progression-free survival versus nonplatinum chemotherapy in patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer in the open-label phase III SOLO3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02282020). We report final overall survival (OS; prespecified secondary end point), post hoc OS analysis by number of previous chemotherapy lines, and exploratory BRCA reversion mutation analysis.

Iris Fixation for Intraocular Lens Dislocation: Relocation with Iris Suture Versus Exchange to Sutureless Iris Claw IOL.

: To compare the clinical outcome of suture and sutureless iris fixation techniques for dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs). : Retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent surgery for late IOL dislocation over a 10-year period. IOL repositioning was achieved either by suturing the original IOL to the iris using the Siepser slipknot technique or by replacing it with a retropupillary sutureless iris claw IOL.

Safety and efficacy of the yellow sub-threshold micropulse laser for uveitic macular edema: A pilot study.

Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of the yellow sub-threshold micropulse laser (YSML) in eyes with uveitic macula edema (UME).

Methods: A prospective interventional study. Eyes with non-infectious UME and an unsatisfactory response to prior conventional treatments underwent navigated YSML (NAVILAS).
