Purpose: To evaluate the technique and outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) combined with phacoemulsification for corneal opacity with coexisting cataract.
Setting: Cornea Service, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Design: Cohort study.
Methods: Eyes with cataract of varied nucleus grade and with different corneal pathologies were selected. Modified triple procedures were performed in all eyes.
Results: Twenty eyes were evaluated. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) after 3 months was 20/60 or better in 18 eyes. One eye had 20/80 CDVA as a result of perioperative and postoperative complications. One graft became opaque after postoperative infection.
Conclusion: Simultaneous DALK with phacoemulsification was feasible in eyes with coexisting corneal and lenticular pathology, and the outcomes were encouraging.

Methods: This six-month prospective study was conducted on students in grades 1 to 8 at a school in Chongqing, China. All participants underwent a standard ophthalmologic examination including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), noncycloplegic refraction, AL, and corneal topography in March 2023.
Connectome-based disentangling of epilepsy networks from insular stereoelectroencephalographic leads.

Department of Neurosurgery and Neurotechnology, Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen, Germany.
Objective: Epilepsy is considered as a network disorder of interacting brain regions. The propagation of local epileptic activity from the seizure onset zone (SOZ) along neuronal networks determines the semiology of seizures. However, in highly interconnected brain regions such as the insula, the association between the SOZ and semiology is blurred necessitating invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).

Objective: Surgeons routinely check the pupils to assess, in part, the brain stem function and the neural integrity of the visual system. Where a relative afferent pupillary defect is difficult to notice during surgery, an efferent pupillary defect or mydriasis is clearly recognizable. Visual loss in orbital surgery is attributed to compromised perfusion of the optic nerve, retina, or choroid, but an association with mydriasis is generally not assumed.

In this case report, the role of a myocardial bridge of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and recent use of cannabis in a sudden death of a drug user is discussed, also considering the relevance of histopathological pulmonary findings. A 37-year-old man with a history of drug abuse was found dead in his house. External and autoptic examination were performed, as well as histologic and toxicologic analyses of tissues, organs and body fluids samples.

To validate the clinical feasibility of deep learning-driven magnetic resonance angiography (DL-driven MRA) collateral map in acute ischemic stroke. We employed a 3D multitask regression and ordinal regression deep neural network, called as 3D-MROD-Net, to generate DL-driven MRA collateral maps. Two raters graded the collateral perfusion scores of both conventional and DL-driven MRA collateral maps and measured the grading time.
