Claims of industrially induced seismicity vary from indisputable to unpersuasive and yet the veracity of industrial induction is vital for regulatory and operational practice. Assessment schemes have been developed in response to this need. We report here an initial assessment of the reliability of all globally known cases of proposed human-induced earthquakes and invite specialists on particular cases to refine these results.

- The study assesses how effective and safe intravitreal chlorhexidine (CHX) is in sterilizing the vitreous cavity for bacterial endophthalmitis.
- In vitro, CHX concentrations above 6.25 µg/mL effectively killed bacteria, and doses below 200 µg/mL did not harm retinal cells.
- Animal testing showed that CHX concentrations of 20-100 µg/mL could sterilize the vitreous without causing harmful effects, suggesting potential for clinical application.*
Purpose: To assess the value of increased perifoveal retinal vascular tortuosity in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images as a biomarker of early hypertensive retinopathy and compare its clinical sensitivity and accuracy with traditional morphological changes used for Scheie classification.
Methods: OCTA images of 81 eyes (40 eyes from 20 hypertensive subjects and 41 eyes from 21 control subjects) were obtained retrospectively. Hypertensive retinopathy changes in randomized eyes were graded according to the Scheie classification, and perifoveal vessels were traced in a masked fashion.
Purpose: To study the vitreopapillary interface in nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) for features that may predispose to optic nerve perfusion defects.
Design: Case-control study.
Participants And Controls: Patients with NAION (study group) were compared with healthy non-NAION patients with crowded discs (control group I) and noncrowded optic discs (control group II).
