Purpose: To estimate the incidence of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy up to five years after cataract surgery with different single-piece acrylic monofocal IOLs in a Spanish cohort.

Patients And Methods: Data were extracted from electronic medical records. Eligible participants were aged ≥65, had cataract surgery with one of five different acrylic monofocal IOLs (Alcon AcrySof, AJL LLASY60, Medicontur Bi-flex, IOL Tech Stabibag and Zeiss Asphina), and more than six months baseline data.

One of the challenges in the field of human activity recognition in smart homes based on IoT sensors is the variability in the recorded data. This variability arises from differences in home configurations, sensor network setups, and the number and habits of inhabitants, resulting in a lack of data that accurately represent the application environment. Although simulators have been proposed in the literature to generate data, they fail to bridge the gap between training and field data or produce diverse datasets.

Article Synopsis
  • There is a demand for new quick-acting treatments for affective disorders, particularly through the use of 3α-reduced neurosteroids like allopregnanolone, which enhance GABA receptor activity.
  • These neurosteroids are produced by the translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO), which also influences mitochondrial function and has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Recent developments show that TSPO ligands and 3α-reduced neurosteroids, including etifoxine and brexanolone, could offer promising treatment options for conditions like depression and anxiety.
