The utilization of artificial intelligence in glaucoma: diagnosis versus screening.

With advancements in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in different ophthalmology disciplines, it continues to have a significant impact on glaucoma diagnosis and screening. This article explores the distinct roles of AI in specialized ophthalmology clinics and general practice, highlighting the critical balance between sensitivity and specificity in diagnostic and screening models. Screening models prioritize sensitivity to detect potential glaucoma cases efficiently, while diagnostic models emphasize specificity to confirm disease with high accuracy.

Assessing the Impact of Simulated Color Vision Deficiency on Ophthalmologists' Ability to Differentiate between Choroidal Melanoma and Choroidal Nevus.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of research articles published on the topic of IOL power calculation formulas.

Intrastromal corneal ring segments for keratoconus patients: up to 12 years follow up.

Purpose: Intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation is a surgical technique developed with the purpose of avoiding the progression of corneal protrusion and is considered a viable option for managing patients with keratoconus as it stabilizes or improves vision thus delaying or excluding the need of more advanced surgical intervention such as penetrating keratoplasty. However, long term follow up is still limited to determine its actual success in achieving this goal. The current project aims to provide an extended follow up reporting a mean followup of around 5 years, extending up to 12.

Career Regret and Health-Related Quality of Life among Medical Students: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study in Jordan.

Objectives: Medical students have a lower quality of life (QoL) when compared to the general population. This lower QoL is associated with multiple factors such as burnout and depressive symptoms. QoL can be reflected in the degree of career satisfaction and career regret.

The impact of COVID-19 on open access publishing in radiology and nuclear medicine: an in-depth analysis.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous initiatives have been implemented to ensure open access availability of COVID-19-related articles to make published articles accessible for anyone. This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on open-access publishing in radiology and nuclear medicine. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of articles and reviews published in these fields during the COVID-19 publishing era using the Web of Science database.

ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence in Transplantation Research: Is It Always Correct?

Introduction: ChatGPT (OpenAI, San Francisco, California, United States) is a chatbot powered by language-based artificial intelligence (AI). It generates text based on the information provided by users. It is currently being evaluated in medical research, publishing, and healthcare.

Artificial Intelligence and Glaucoma: Going Back to Basics.

There has been a recent surge in the number of publications centered on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose various systemic diseases. The Food and Drug Administration has approved several algorithms for use in clinical practice. In ophthalmology, most advances in AI relate to diabetic retinopathy, which is a disease process with agreed upon diagnostic and classification criteria.

Application of robotics in abdominal organ transplantation: A bibliometric analysis.

Background: Robotic transplant surgery has garnered worldwide attention since 2002. Discussions on this issue have led to more publications over the past decade. This study assessed global robotic organ transplantation studies using bibliometric analysis.

Quality of life and tomography indices in patients with keratoconus.

Objective: Keratoconus is a corneal ectasia that leads to thinning and steepening of the corneal surface. We aimed to assess the relationship between quality of life and corneal tomography indices, irrespective of visual acuity.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a translated and validated Keratoconus Outcomes Research Questionnaire (KORQ) in Arabic language.

The Impact of Color Vision Deficiency on the Capability of Ophthalmologists to Diagnose Benign and Malignant Choroidal Tumors.

Background: Color vision deficiency (CVD) is an under-reported problem among medical personnel, and its impact is still not well characterized. We aim to assess the impact of CVD among ophthalmologists on the accuracy of diagnosing different benign and malignant choroidal lesions.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on ophthalmologists.

Impact of COVID-19 on abdominal organ transplantation: A bibliometric analysis.

Background: Abdominal solid organ transplant (SOT) programs have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was officially declared as such on March 11, 2020. Over two years, the tightening and softening of limitations in response to the "waves" of infection and COVID-19 fluctuations have provided distinct issues for waitlisted patients, transplant recipients, and transplant organizations.

Method: We searched Scopus using the terms "transplant" and "transplantation," and organ-related phrases like "intestin*," "liver," "kidney," "hepatic," "renal," and "pancrea*," as well as COVID-19 terms such as "COVID-19," "coronavirus," and "SARS-CoV-2.
