Digital vs manual axis marking for toric phakic intraocular lens alignment: prospective randomized intraindividual trial.

Purpose: To compare visual and refractive outcomes and postoperative axis alignment for toric implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in astigmatic myopia using manual vs digital marking techniques.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.

Design: Prospective randomized single-centered intraindividual comparison.

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy in otherwise, young healthy female patients.

Purpose: The retina is supplied with blood through superficial and deep capillary systems. Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) is a relatively new terminology based on pathognomonic findings in the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A connection with various retinal vascular diseases has been described, which is indicative of an ischemic etiology.

Automated Measurement and Three-Dimensional Fitting of Corneal Ulcerations and Erosions via AI-Based Image Analysis.

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI)-tools hold great potential to compensate for missing resources in health-care systems but often fail to be implemented in clinical routine. Intriguingly, no-code and low-code technologies allow clinicians to develop Artificial intelligence (AI)-tools without requiring in-depth programming knowledge. Clinician-driven projects allow to adequately identify and address real clinical needs and, therefore, hold superior potential for clinical implementation.

Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels on hospital admission as a correlate of protection against mortality.

Background: Millions of people have now been vaccinated against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, it is still unclear which antibody levels provide protection against mortality. It is further unknown whether measuring antibody concentrations on hospital admission allows for identifying patients with a high risk of mortality.
