Article Synopsis
- Traditional glaucoma diagnostics use standard fundus images to assess features like the optic cup-to-disc ratio but may miss important details.
- This study introduces a new hyperspectral imaging technique that detects changes in oxygen saturation within retinal vessels, providing a richer analysis for diagnosing glaucoma.
- By employing machine learning algorithms like the Vision Transformer, researchers found that a specific spectral band (610-780 nm) achieved high accuracy in classification, suggesting that hyperspectral imaging could revolutionize how glaucoma is diagnosed compared to conventional methods.
Hydroxychloroquine, also known as quinine, is primarily utilized to manage various autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome. However, this drug has side effects, including diarrhea, blurred vision, headache, skin itching, poor appetite, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Blurred vision is caused by irreversible retinal damages and can only be mitigated by reducing hydroxychloroquine dosage or discontinuing the drug under a physician's supervision.

Therefore, the current stage of DR in a patient can be identified by analyzing the oxygen content in blood vessels through fundus images. This enables medical professionals to make accurate and prompt judgments regarding the patient's condition.

Eye floaters are one of the diseases that affect humans. Herein, we present a functional ophthalmic dressing that can permeate the skin tissues of the eyes through oxygen and hydrogen to improve the symptoms of floaters.

Methods: Sixty cases of cervical hypertension patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group by using random table method. For patients of treatment group bilateral cervical Jiaji (EX-B 2) were punctured, and for those of control group, Fengchi (GB 20), Taichong (LR 3), Quchi (LI 11), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 9) were punctured.
