Purpose: To report visual outcomes and complications of modified McCannel iris suture fixation of small-incision foldable acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) for aphakia in the absence of capsule support.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Participants: Forty-six patients who underwent foldable acrylic IOL implantation using peripheral iris suture fixation for aphakia in the absence of capsule support.
Methods: Data from 46 patients who underwent iris fixation of a foldable acrylic IOL were retrospectively evaluated for underlying diagnoses, surgical history, clinical results, and complications.
Main Outcome Measures: Postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent, and surgical complications.
Results: Best-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/100 to 20/50 (P = 0.01), with 97% of eyes maintaining or improving BCVA after a mean (+/- standard deviation) follow-up of 24.1+/-12.4 months. Complications included transient low-grade uveitis (3 [6.5%]), transient pigment dispersion (3 [6.5%]), IOL dislocation (2 [4.3%]), elevated intraocular pressure (1 [2.2%]), and retinal detachment (1 [2.2%]). No new cases of cystoid macular edema or worsening of glaucoma occurred.
Conclusion: Small-incision peripheral iris fixation of 3-piece acrylic foldable IOLs in the absence of capsule support appears to be an effective technique with few severe adverse events.

Efficacy and safety of oral Chinese patent medicine for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
Objective: This paper aims to evaluate the disparities in efficacy and safety across various oral Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), using a frequency-based reticulated meta-analysis.
Methods: The researchers searched the following databases: Web of Science, PubMed, Excerpta Medical Database (Embase), Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and China Science and Technology Periodicals Database (VIP). Besides, the researchers collected all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of oral Chinese patent medicines, as well as simple preparations and simple preparations for benign prostatic hyperplasia from the establishment of the database until July1, 2024.
Iris retractor-assisted optic capture of a 3-piece intraocular lens.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
December 2024
Capital Health, Trenton, NJ, USA.
Optic capture of a three-piece lens in the absence of posterior capsule support is an effective strategy for stabilizing and sequestering the optic to reduce the risk of dislocation and UGH syndrome compared to sulcus placement. We present a novel technique that facilitates optic capture in the presence of a contracted, fibrotic rhexis opening, while minimizing stress on the zonules by using iris retractors to assist in stabilization and expansion of the rhexis, followed by direct injection of the optic of the lens behind the anterior capsule opening into an optic captured configuration.

Beckground And Aims: Individuals with a higher body fat percentage may have higher serum levels of caffeine and its metabolites and process caffeine more slowly than individuals with a lower body fat percentage, so the aim of this study is to compare the occurrence of positive and negative effects of caffeine in nonobese and obese women.
Methods And Results: One hundred and sixty women were included in the study. Body fat was determined using the mBCA 515 SECA analyzer.
Soy Protein Isolate Improved the Properties of Fish Oil-Loaded Chitosan-Sodium Tripolyphosphate Capsules.

In this paper, the effect of soybean isolate protein (SPI) content on the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate (CS-STPP)-loaded fish oil capsules was investigated. The SPI/CS-STTP capsules formed after the addition of different amounts of SPI were larger in size and more homogeneous in morphology than the CS-STPP capsules, and the SPI was encapsulated on the surface of the CS matrix, altering the surface properties and morphology of the particles. The study of different CS-to-SPI blend ratios (1:0, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2) showed that the water content of the microcapsules increased from 49.
