Experiments on pigs were made for determination of safe distance to blast center for a diver using the isolating breathing apparatus IDA-71U and aqualung AVM-5. The animals were placed at the distance 12, 9, 7 and 5 m from the blast center. After the explosion, basic physiological parameters and severity of traumas were monitored. Differences in morphological characteristics of the damage done on the earth and under water were identified. Safe distance was 12 m.

Objective: To assess refractive and visual outcomes of a spherical Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) followed by planned postoperative adjunctive laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of high compound hyperopic astigmatism.
Methods: In this prospective, multi-center, multi-surgeon, single-arm trial, eyes with ≥ 3.50 D hyperopia and ≥ 2.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the subjective and objective visual outcomes following Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) surgery in high myopic patients with varying axial lengths (AL).
Methods: The study enrolled 113 highly myopic patients (202 eyes) who underwent SMILE surgery at Shanghai's Tenth People's Hospital from July 2021 to September 2023. Patients were classified into three groups based on the axial length before surgery: Group A (AL < 26mm, 62 eyes), Group B (26mm ≤ AL < 27mm, 88 eyes), and Group C (AL ≥ 27mm, 52 eyes).

Objectives: The objective of the investigation is to examine the long term efficacy, safety, and predictability of ICL-V4c implantation for high and super-high myopic patients in order to provide reliable guidance for the selection of refractive surgical procedures.
Methods: We reviewed 125 eyes from 64 patients who implanted ICL-V4c at the Refractive Surgery Center of West China Hospital in Chengdu, China, between May 2015 and January 2017. These eyes were divided into two groups based on their preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) degree: high myopia (≥ -10D) and super-high myopia groups (< -10D).

Objective: This study aimed to describe the anatomical landmarks for intervertebral disc (IVD) percutaneous approaches (transpedicular TPA and transannular TAA) using CT scans in humans and dogs for regenerative medicine research.
Method: CT scans of 57 human (30 supine, 27 prone) and 49 canine (29 chondrodystrophic, 20 non-chondrodystrophic) lumbar spines were analyzed. Morphometric data, cutaneous landmarks, and approach angles were measured, with additional sections assessing nerve root distances from TPA routes.

Posterior Component Separation (PCS) is a surgical technique used in abdominal wall reconstruction. Understanding the relationship between the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis muscles and the location of intercostal nerves is crucial for minimizing nerve injury during PCS. This cadaveric study aimed to investigate these anatomical relationships and propose practical guidelines for safer PCS procedures.
