Purpose: To describe clinical characteristics and management in a large cohort of patients with retinal detachment due to a giant retinal tear (GRT).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study with 222 eyes of 206 patients with a primary and non-traumatic GRTs between 2005 and 2022. We analysed the relevant clinical and surgical data from these patients.
Importance: Idiopathic multifocal choroiditis (MFC) is poorly understood, thereby hindering optimal treatment and monitoring of patients.
Objective: To identify the genes and pathways associated with idiopathic MFC.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) and protein study of blood plasma samples conducted from March 2006 to February 2022.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a sight threatening condition that warrants immediate surgical intervention. To date, 29 genes have been associated with monogenic disorders involving RRD. In addition, RRD can occur as a multifactorial disease through a combined effect of multiple genetic variants and non-genetic risk factors.

Sustained attentions have been paid to efficient and economical preparation of l-methionine. In this work, a novel method for l-methionine production was established using -acetyl-homoserine (OAH) and 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde (MMP) as substrates by catalysis of the yeast OAH sulfhydrylase MET17.
