Since the initial description of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) by von Graefe in 1866, various risk factors for this condition have been described and discussed. In addition to established factors, such as the use of corticosteroids, psychosomatic factors, particularly stress, have increasingly come into focus in the literature. Studies have shown that psychological stress and emotional stressors not only impair well-being but also trigger physiological responses that could increase the risk of CSC.

Post-corneal transplantation endothelial decompensation and subsequent bullous keratopathy often result in unfavorable clinical outcomes regardless of the treatment strategy employed. In this report, we present the outcomes of a patient managed with in vitro expanded human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) transplantation facilitated by a nanocomposite gel (NC gel) sheet over 16 years. A 40-year-old male patient who presented with signs of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty underwent HCEC transplantation.

3D printing initially captured the public eye when mainstream media began writing about Enabling the Future, a volunteer network that had begun designing and 3D printing prosthetic hands. Many of the stories focused on how this technology was going to disrupt the prosthetic sector. The response from prosthetists was skepticism and concern, in particular warning that 3D printed components would not be robust enough to withstand the activities of daily living.

Nerve block, nerve damage, and fluid injection pressure: overturning the myth.

Histological and micro-ultrasound evidence rebuffs deep-rooted views on the nature of nerve block, nerve damage, and injection pressure monitoring. We propose that the ideal position of the needle tip for nerve block is between the innermost circumneural fascial layer and outer epineurium, with local anaesthetic passing circumferentially through adipose tissue. Thin, circumferential, subepineural expansion that is invisible to the naked eye was identified using micro-ultrasound, and could account for variability of outcomes in clinical practice.
