Effectiveness of the addition of visual aids to conversational preoperative education in glaucoma filtering surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative visual aids on anxiety and pain management in patients with low educational backgrounds undergoing glaucoma filtering surgery.

Methods: A randomized, single-blinded, single-center clinical trial was conducted at a tertiary eye hospital in Shantou, China. Patients scheduled for glaucoma filtering surgery were randomly assigned to either a conventional oral education group or a visual aids group.

METAGENOMIC NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING DETECTS PATHOGENS IN ENDOPHTHALMITIS PATIENTS.

Purpose: To investigate the utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in identifying the pathogens in endophthalmitis.

Methods: In this prospective study, 36 cases of endophthalmitis were recruited. All patients received surgical treatment and intraocular drug lavage.

The NIa-Protease Protein Encoded by the Is a Pathogenicity Determinant and Releases DNA Methylation of .

It is well documented that the canonical function of NIa-protease (NIa-Pro) of the potyviruses is responsible for cleaving the viral polyprotein into functional proteins. Although NIa-Pro is vital for the infection cycle of potyviruses, the function of NIa-Pro in the interaction of the potyvirus host is not clear. In this study, NIa-Pro is ectopically expressed from a (PVX) vector and infiltrates wild type and 16-TGS.
