Article Synopsis
- * Using Mendelian randomization, it was found that higher BMI is linked to increased myopia, with fat mass being a significant contributor, while factors like height and waist-hip ratio showed no notable connection.
- * Educational attainment was shown to negatively affect myopia and mediated approximately 33% of the relationship between BMI and myopia, suggesting that higher BMI might contribute to greater myopia indirectly through its impact on education.
Aim: To investigate botulinum toxin A (BTXA) efficacy on small-angle (≤25) acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) in early-stage patients.
Methods: The electronic medical record data of AACE patients during March 2019 and June 2023 were collected in this retrospective and hospital-based cohort study. A total of 72 small-angle AACE patients received BTXA extraocular muscle injection.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze myopia distribution in Hubei and the impact of regional Sunshine Duration on myopia in children and adolescents.
Patients And Methods: The Cross-sectional study included students (kindergarten to grade 12) through multistage cluster stratified sampling in 17 cities (103 areas) of Hubei, China, who underwent ophthalmic examinations from September 2021 to November 2021. The association of sunshine duration with the prevalence and distribution of myopia was analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates myopia trends in elementary school students from grades 1 to 3 in Hubei Province, analyzing factors that influence the progression of refractive errors and developing a predictive model for high myopia risk.
- A total of 15,512 students were followed over three years (2019-2021) using visual acuity tests and questionnaires to gather data on lifestyle and parental myopia.
- Results showed an increasing prevalence of myopia from 17.56% to 40.37% over the years, with findings indicating that girls had a higher progression rate and that factors like higher body mass index and frequent consumption of sweets increased the risk of myopia progression.
Article Synopsis
- Exercise therapy has gained attention as an effective, low-cost rehabilitation method for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), prompting a significant amount of research in the field.
- A bibliometric analysis of 172 articles published from 1999 to 2023 revealed a steady increase in publications, with notable contributions from China, North America, and Western Europe.
- The analysis highlights current research trends focused on how exercise therapy improves the quality of life for adolescents with AIS, providing essential insights for future studies in this area.
Introduction: Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience initial hesitation, slowness of movements, decreased balance and impaired standing ability, which can significantly impact their independence. Transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation are two widely used and promising non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) modalities for treating PD. The supplementary motor area (SMA), associated with motor behaviour and processing, has received increasing attention as a potential stimulation target to alleviate PD-related symptoms.

The increasing application of TMS has promoted an increasing number of clinical studies. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis of existing studies was conducted to reveal current research hotspots and guide future research directions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: To observe the surgical effects of slanted bilateral lateral recession (S-BLR) versus conventional bilateral lateral recession (C-BLR) in convergence insufficiency intermittent exotropia (CI-IXT).
Methods: Using a randomized, double-blind, prospective design, 22 patients with CI-IXT who were admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from July 2019 to December 2020 were included. Patients were randomly divided into either S-BLR or C-BLR group for their subsequent strabismus surgery.
