Significance: Cataract surgery is one of the most performed surgical procedures worldwide. As a potential complication following cataract surgery, dry eye has the potential to impact visual outcomes, lower patient satisfaction, and be detrimental to quality of life.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cataract surgery on dry eye outcomes postoperatively.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of mini-implant (MI) anchorage versus conventional anchorage for the treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 64 patients with skeletal class II malocclusion. The patients were divided into two groups: 1) 32 patients underwent conventional anchorage, and 2) 32 patients underwent MI anchorage.
To minimize off-target adverse effects and improve drug efficacy, various tissue-specific drug delivery systems have been developed. However, even in diseased organs, both normal and stressed, dying cells coexist, and a targeted delivery system specifically for dying cells has yet to be explored to mitigate off-target effects within the same organ. This study aimed to establish such a system.

DHF is characterized by endothelial damage and vascular leakage. Despite its severity, no specific antiviral treatments exist, and the viral factors responsible for endothelial damage remain unclear.

- Crop establishment is crucial for rice production; this study focuses on mechanized wet direct seeding (mDSR) as a better alternative to traditional methods in Vietnam’s Mekong River Delta.
- The research compares various seeding techniques over two cropping seasons, highlighting how mDSR with lower seed rates significantly reduces seedling density variation and maintains comparable yields to broadcast seeding (bDSR), while also improving nitrogen productivity.
- mDSR not only leads to higher incomes and lower fertilizer use but also results in a smaller carbon footprint compared to bDSR, making it a more sustainable option for rice production.
