Purpose Of Review: To summarize recent knowledge concerning ophthalmic regional anaesthesia.
Recent Findings: Ophthalmic regional anaesthesia has changed considerably over the past few years. Alternatives to retrobulbar anaesthesia have been proposed to reduce the number of complications without detriment to efficiency. Finally new local anaesthetics have been adopted and the indications have broadened, especially in vitroretineal surgery.
Summary: New developments in ophthalmic regional anaesthesia are presented in this review. Different methods, indications and side effects are described in order to facilitate the clinician's choice, without any claim to single out an ideal technique.

Background: This presentation maps the journey of an evidence-based dementia care program from effectiveness trial design to adoption by policymakers as an ongoing program available to eligible older adults living at home with dementia and their care partners. Care of People with Dementia in their Environments (COPE) is a non-pharmacologic program that seeks to maximize physical function and quality of life in people with dementia and build dementia management skills in care partners. Efficacy trial results showed that, compared to controls, people with dementia receiving COPE had greater functional independence in activities of daily living and care partners receiving COPE reported improved well-being and increased confidence using dementia management skills.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) includes conditions with autoimmune genesis, which are manifested by attacks of optic neuritis (ON) and transverse myelitis (TM), and also express aquaporin 4 (NMO-IgG) or myelin oligo-endocytic glycoprotein (MOGAb) antibodies. In rare cases, the disease may also have a clinical presentation with only TM, without ON or with ON, without TM. These conditions are also included in the spectrum.

Background: Modern reconstruction algorithms for computed tomography (CT) can exhibit nonlinear properties, including non-stationarity of noise and contrast dependence of both noise and spatial resolution. Model observers have been recommended as a tool for the task-based assessment of image quality (Samei E et al., Med Phys.
