Purpose: Cosmetic products, such as mascara, are known to adhere to the surface of silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses (SiHySCLs), potentially affecting lens performance and comfort. However, little is known about how different SiHySCL materials influence cosmetic adhesion. Recent reports suggest that the newly introduced lehfilcon A, a 2-week frequent replacement SiHySCL with Water Gradient and Celligent technology, may exhibit reduced lipid and cosmetic adherence.

This study aimed to develop an automated 3D surface cephalometry system using mesh fitting based on landmarks identified by artificial intelligence (AI) and to evaluate its accuracy.
Methods: A total of 185 CBCT images from adult Japanese patients (system training, n = 152; evaluation, n = 33) were used in this study.
Introduction: Lung resection after open esophagectomy poses significant technical challenges, particularly when the reconstructed gastrointestinal tract is on the same side as the lung lesion. The advent of 4K 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopic systems with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has improved the precision of thoracic surgeries. We present a case of successful right upper lung segmentectomy for primary lung cancer after open esophagectomy, utilizing a 4K 3D endoscopic system and NIR imaging.

Cellular schwannoma is a schwannoma subtype with histopathologic features resembling those of malignant tumors. We report a case of a cellular schwannoma arising at the resection margin of an anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcoma. An 88-year-old woman who had undergone resection of an anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcoma 2 years previously developed a mediastinal tumor at the resection margin, raising suspicion of leiomyosarcoma recurrence.
