Updates on Treatment Modalities for Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, a severe eye condition, presents anatomic separation of the neurosensory retina from its outermost layer-the retinal pigment epithelium. Early recognition of this relatively common finding and proper referral of patients to the retinal surgery department is essential in order to minimize its consequent possible severe reduction in vision. Several major surgical methods for the repair of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment have been in use over the last several decades, and they all aim to find and close the break in the retina that has caused the detachment.

Labeling of Baropodometric Analysis Data Using Computer Vision Techniques in Classification of Foot Deformities.

: Foot deformities are the basis of numerous disorders of the locomotor system. An optimized method of classification of foot deformities would enable an objective identification of the type of deformity since the current assessment methods do not show an optimal level of objectivity and reliability. The acquired results would enable an individual approach to the treatment of patients with foot deformities.

Interconnection between Mixed-Handedness, Digit Ratios and Hand and Foot Minor Anomalies in Predicting Schizophrenia.

Background: According to the neurodevelopmental theory, brain structuring early markers could be seen in different body parts as minor physical anomalies. Alongside minor physical anomalies, handedness and index to ring finger ratio are brain development indicators, specifically brain lateralization. Studies are consentient about the association of these findings with schizophrenia, though there is inconsistency about individual anatomical regions' contribution.

Olfactory Perception and Different Decongestive Response of the Nasal Mucosa During Menstrual Cycle.

Background: Sex hormones are known to have some influence on nasal functions, but their effect on the decongestive response of the nasal mucosa during menstrual cycle is still undetermined.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the nasal physiology, the interconnectedness of olfactory and respiratory nasal function and the decongestive response of the nasal mucosa during menstrual cycle.

Methods: This study included 101 healthy women aged 23.
