Metamorphopsia after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Improvements in surgical techniques have led to 90% success in the surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). However, anatomical reattachment of the retina does not ensure complete recovery of visual function. The incidence of metamorphopsia remains the most common postoperative complaint, from 24% to 88.

Low-Cost Silicon from Natural Sand with Tunable Oxygen Content and Its Effects on the Electrochemical Properties of Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes.

Silicon (Si) is recognized as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the significant volume expansion during lithiation poses a make-or-break challenge for the commercial adoption of silicon as an anode. The solutions to mitigate the challenge often depend on processes that can increase costs for the LIB.

Spontaneous Hydrogen Production Coupled with Glucose Valorization through Modulating Au-Pt Coordination on Ultrathin Au3Pt Twin Nanowires.

Organics electrooxidation coupled hydrogen production has attracted increasing attention due to the low operation voltage. Nevertheless, the spontaneous production of hydrogen coupled with organics valorization remains challenging. Herein, we develop ultrathin Au/Pt twin nanowire (NW) catalysts for both electrochemical glucose oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction towards a spontaneous hydrogen production system.

Effect of platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin on healing of burn wound with dual-species biofilm.

This study evaluated the impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on burn wound with dual-species biofilm. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Potential role of formononetin as a novel natural agent in Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis comorbidity.

Background: The growing aging population has led to an increase in the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoporosis (OP), both of which significantly impair quality of life. The comorbid nature of these conditions suggests a shared genetic etiology, the understanding of which is crucial for developing targeted therapies.

Objective: This study aims to explore the shared genetic etiology underlying AD and OP, using a system biology approach to identify potential therapeutic targets and natural compounds for treatment.
