Article Synopsis
- - The Japanese Fellowship Program at the U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka has been connecting U.S. Navy patients with Japanese hospitals since 1952, especially during critical transfers.
- - The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 prompted the development of a new transfer framework incorporating the Public Health Center to ensure safe patient transfers.
- - This report details two successful international transfers of COVID-19 positive patients, marking the first documented use of this framework for such cases, which can serve as a guide for future patient transfers involving infectious diseases.
Purpose: To assess the effect of vectored thermal pulsation treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction on objective measures of lipid layer thickness (LLT) and tear osmolarity.
Methods: One hundred patients with meibomian gland dysfunction diagnosis were recruited to participate. At their initial visit, baseline study parameters were recorded, and vectored thermal pulsation treatment was administered.
Angiostrongyliasis is the most common cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide and is primarily characterized by eosinophilic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, or myelitis. It is caused by ingestion of the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm (or apple snail). The most common route of infection is by ingestion of parts of the intermediate hosts like mollusks or food contaminated with infective third stage larvae.

Methods: Retinal nerve fiber layers were obtained in normals using the Cirrus optic disc cube 200 × 200 protocol during a single encounter. Five RNFL scans were obtained with a SS of 9 or 10.
