AI Article Synopsis
- Be alert for signs of angle closure glaucoma if a patient has symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, or a red eye.
- These symptoms may indicate increased pressure in the eye, which can lead to serious complications.
- Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss in affected patients.

Steric stabilization and lubrication give loop polymer brushes enhanced antifouling properties. In the study, linear zwitterionic poly(NMASMCMS) brushes were first constructed on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) surface through surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (SI-RAFT) polymerization. The tethered linear brushes on sheets were then thiolated with ethanolamine, followed by oxidation to form loop brushes.

To examine ultrastructural changes in the trabecular meshwork (TM) in patients with primary and secondary glaucoma using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This was a qualitative descriptive hospital-based study on the ultrastructure of the TM. Pure TM samples were collected after microincisional trabeculectomy from 26 patients with primary or secondary glaucoma and 10 control samples from eye bank donor corneas.

Background: Studies have revealed abnormalities of the epiphyseal plate of the distal femur in patients with trochlear dysplasia, but it is unclear whether the epiphyseal plate could be remodeled after surgical correction of patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate whether the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlea could be improved after medial patellar retinaculum plasty in skeletally immature patients and to investigate the correlations between the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlear dysplasia as well as clinical outcomes.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background Investigation of the safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification with trabecular microbypass Stent W implantation in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Methods Between August and December of 2023, this prospective study evaluated PACG patients who underwent phacoemulsification with iStent inject W implantation. All patients were 18 years and older and were monitored for 6 months after surgery.
