Department of Ophthalmology, Liyang Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Liyang, China.
Purpose: To describe a custom bent 27-gauge needle-guided suture snare technique for scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses (PCIOL).
Methods: An 8-0 polypropylene suture was threaded into the lumen of a custom bent 27-gauge needle, and the needle tip was advanced into the eye from the intraocular lens (IOL) fixation point. The suture was threaded through the posterior limbal incision inside the IOL haptic loop and pulled out.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition of multifactorial origin, is a major cause of irreversible vision loss in industrialized countries. The dry late stage of the disease, known as geographic atrophy (GA), is characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelial cells in the central retina. An estimated 300 000 to 550 000 people in Germany suffer from GA.

Background and objectives The persistent nature of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is mainly attributable to compromised wound healing mechanisms, which are aggravated due to poor blood flow, neuropathy, and infection. Growth factors have become essential agents in the treatment of DFUs, serving as primary mediators that enhance wound healing through the stimulation of cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. This prospective open-label, randomised, comparative, multi-centre, investigator-initiated study compared the safety and effectiveness of adjuvant therapy with topical application of autologous growth factor concentrate (AGFC) using the Healrex therapy kit (Wockhardt, India) versus standard of care (SoC) in DFUs.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hematologic disease caused by sickle hemoglobin as the predominant RBC hemoglobin or by sickle hemoglobin in combination with other abnormal β-hemoglobin variants like HbC, HbD and others. Sickling of erythrocytes under deoxygenated conditions is the basis of inflammatory and thrombotic cascades which result in multiple serious complications, leading to early morbidity and mortality. While HLA-matched allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is potentially curative, it has considerable limitations due to potential severe toxicities.

Background Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are commonly prescribed in epilepsy. However some have been associated with adverse cardiac outcomes including cardiac arrhythmias. Methods We conducted an observational study evaluating patients aged ≥16 years undergoing ambulatory video - electroencephalographic (EEG) - electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring (AVEEM) between 2020 and 2023 in Australia.
