Purpose: To assess the predictability, efficacy, safety, and stability of collagen copolymer toric phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation to correct moderate to high myopic astigmatism.
Setting: Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain.
Methods: This study comprised eyes that had implantation of a toric Intraocular Collamer Lens for moderate to high myopic astigmatism. The uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuities, refraction, pIOL vault, and adverse events were evaluated over 12 months.
Results: Preoperatively, the mean sphere in the 55 eyes was -4.65 diopters (D) +/- 3.02 (SD) (range -0.50 to -12.50 D) and the mean cylinder, -3.03 +/- 0.79 D (range -1.25 to -4.00 D). At 12 months, the mean Snellen decimal UDVA was 0.80 +/- 0.20 and the mean CDVA, 0.85 +/- 0.18; 62.0% of eyes had a CDVA of 20/20. More than 50.0% of eyes gained 1 or more lines of CDVA. The treatment was highly predictable for spherical equivalent (SE) (r(2) = 0.99) and astigmatic components J0 (r(2) = 0.97) and J45 (r(2) = 0.99). Of the eyes, 94.5% were within +/-0.50 D of the attempted SE and all were within +/-1.00 D. For J0, 94.5% of eyes were within +/-0.50 D and for J45, 98.2% of eyes; all eyes were within +/-1.00 D. The efficacy index was 0.95 at 3 months and 1.08 at 1 year.
Conclusions: The UDVA and CDVA with toric pIOLs were good and highly stable over 12 months, confirming the procedure is safe, predictable, and effective for correction of moderate to high astigmatic.

Background: With the growing number of high-risk pregnant women, echocardiography frequently reveals pericardial effusion (PE). However, the clinical implications of PE are unknown.
Method: We analyzed a cohort of 406 high-risk pregnant women who underwent echocardiography in the third trimester between November 2019 and December 2022.

Karst small towns globally face challenges due to limited disaster-resilient resources, making it difficult to handle increasingly severe disaster environments. Improving the efficiency of disaster-resilient resource utilization and maintaining a tight balance state of disaster-resilient resources (TBS) are crucial for enhancing disaster adaptability and resilience. This study used urban and disaster data from a representative karst region in China (2017-2021) to conduct a quantitative analysis of TBS in karst small towns, exploring the mechanisms and interactions within this state and identifying obstacle factors.

The dual task cost of gait (DTC) is an accessible and cost-effective test that can help identify individuals with cognitive decline and dementia. However, its neural substrate has not been widely described. This study aims to investigate the neural substrate of the high DTC in older adults across the spectrum of cognitive decline.

Estimating spatiotemporal maps of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is important for understanding climate change and developing mitigation strategies. However, current methods face challenges, including the coarse resolution of numerical models, and gaps in satellite data, making it essential to improve the spatiotemporal estimation of GHGs. This study aims to develop an advanced technique to produce high-fidelity (1 km) maps of CO and CH over the Arabian Peninsula, a highly vulnerable region to climate change.

Oropharyngeal and orthognathic surgeries cause more postoperative pain than simple dental procedures. The lack of detailed pain pattern analysis after dental surgeries makes pain management challenging. We assessed postoperative pain patterns in patients undergoing various dental surgeries, categorized based on changing pain levels, and identified the most frequent surgical procedures within each pain pattern cluster.
