Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy: Efficacy and Outcomes Performed by Optometrists.

Significance: An increasing number of optometrists are performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy procedures; however, there is limited published information on the outcomes of these procedures.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of capsulotomy procedures performed by optometrists.

Methods: Subjects diagnosed with posterior capsule opacification causing reduced vision and subjective visual complaints were recruited for this study.

Optimizing the use of technology to support people with diabetes: research recommendations from Diabetes UK's 2019 diabetes and technology workshop.

Aims: To identify key gaps in the research evidence base that could help improve how technology supports people with diabetes, and provide recommendations to researchers and research funders on how best to address them.

Methods: A research workshop was conducted, bringing together research experts in diabetes, research experts in technology, people living with diabetes and healthcare professionals.

Results: The following key areas within this field were identified, and research recommendations for each were developed: Matching the pace of research with that of technology development Time in range as a measure Health inequalities and high-risk groups How to train people to use technology most effectively Impact of technology usage on mental health CONCLUSIONS: This position statement outlines recommendations through which research could improve how technology is employed to care for and support people living with diabetes, and calls on the research community and funders to address them in future research programmes and strategies.

A disulfide constrains the ToxR periplasmic domain structure, altering its interactions with ToxS and bile-salts.

ToxR is a transmembrane transcription factor that, together with its integral membrane periplasmic binding partner ToxS, is conserved across the Vibrionaceae family. In some pathogenic Vibrios, including V. parahaemolyticus and V.

Durable infrared optical coatings based on pulsed DC-sputtering of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H).

Optical properties of low-temperature pulsed DC-sputter deposited ($ {\le} {70° {\rm C}}$≤70°C) hydrogenated carbon are presented. Increasing hydrogen incorporation into the sputter deposited carbon significantly decreases infrared optical absorption due to a decrease in deep absorptive states associated with dangling bonds. Hydrogen flow is optimized (hydrogen flow 3 sccm), achieving the best compromise between increased infrared transmittance and hardness for durable coating performance.
