Article Synopsis
- - Electromyography (EMG) is being explored as a way to predict the severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) by analyzing muscle activation patterns during walking, linked to patient-reported measures like WOMAC and VAS.
- - This study collected EMG data from the lower leg muscles of 84 patients with advanced knee OA to analyze how muscle activity and co-contraction relate to functional limitations experienced by these patients.
- - Using machine-learning models, the researchers found high accuracy (coefficient of determination) in predicting WOMAC and VAS scores based on muscle activity, revealing that greater muscle co-contraction correlates with more severe OA symptoms.
In response to climate change, the use of digital livestock systems and probiotic mixtures as technological strategies to improve animal health and production is driving new innovations in the farm animal industry. However, there is little information available regarding the effects of digital livestock systems and probiotic mixtures (consisting of , and ) on the growth performance of the growth-finishing swine. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of digital livestock systems and probiotic mixtures on the immune function, cecal bacteria, short-chain fatty acids, nutrient digestibility, and growth performance of growth-finishing swine.

Methods: We performed a retrospective medical record review of 602 patients diagnosed with uveitis at seven tertiary ophthalmology centers between January and December 2013.
Results: The most common type of uveitis was anterior uveitis (n = 281), followed by posterior uveitis (n = 152), panuveitis (n = 126), and intermediate uveitis (n = 43).
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the quantitative changes of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) atrophy during a 24-month follow-up period of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study. Sixty-five eyes of 62 consecutive patients with naοve exudative AMD who had received treatment with anti-VEGF therapy and followed for more 24 months were enrolled.
Purpose: To evaluate the in vivo repeatability and reproducibility of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) measurements of total retinal thickness (TRT) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in rats.
Methods: Retinal thickness was measured using an RNFL circular scan with AutoRescan and TruTracking modes in 20 eyes of Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats. Three RNFL circular scan images were acquired with a brief rest between measurements to evaluate intra-session repeatability.
Purpose: To evaluate the visual and morphologic outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) in eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) based on the morphologic pattern on optical coherence tomography.
Methods: A prospective and consecutive series of 55 eyes with DME was classified according to OCT features: diffuse retinal thickening (DRT), cystoid macular edema (CME), and serous retinal detachment (SRD). Patients received three consecutive monthly injections of IVR and as needed thereafter.
Purpose: To evaluate the topographic changes in macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness after vitrectomy with indocyanine green-guided internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in eyes with idiopathic macular hole.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 58 consecutive eyes with surgically closed macular hole after vitrectomy with indocyanine green-guided ILM peeling. Further, 31 eyes that had undergone vitrectomy without ILM peeling were used as the control group.
Purpose: To investigate diurnal variations in choroidal thickness (CT) in relation to various factors in healthy Korean subjects using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 100 healthy volunteers who each underwent measurements of CT in the same subfoveal area using an enhanced depth imaging technique with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography at 8 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM. Possible correlations between the diurnal variation of CT and other factors, such as sex, axial length (AL), baseline CT (8 AM), blood pressure, and intraocular pressure, were evaluated.
