AI Article Synopsis
- Glaucoma is a serious, irreversible disease that requires improved prevention and treatment efforts, yet challenges remain in prioritizing its management in China.
- Key issues include a lack of established national organizations, insufficient knowledge dissemination among ophthalmologists, and poor public awareness about glaucoma prevention.
- To address these challenges, a national management system for glaucoma should be created, focusing on organization, training, regulation, and research to enhance detection rates and reduce blindness and associated social costs.
Article Abstract
It is important and necessary to strength the prevention and treatment of glaucoma, since glaucoma is a serious irreversible blinding disease. Although we have done a lot of works in the prevention and treatment of glaucoma in China, there still exist some problems as follows: prevention and treatment of glaucoma have not been taken as the priority in the prevention of blindness, the national ranks and organizations for the prevention and treatment of glaucoma have not been established, the knowledge on glaucoma has not been popularized and updated in ophthalmologists, the supply network of glaucoma medicine has not been organized, the knowledge for prevention of glaucoma has not been disseminated in the public. For settling these problems, we should construct the national system for the management of glaucoma. Its major goal is to raise the detection rate of the glaucoma patients, to decrease the blinding rate caused by glaucoma, to improve the life quality of glaucoma patients, and to save the social cost from the glaucoma blindness. For better conducting these work, we should take the public health path, not only rely on the clinical path. In constructing the national system for the management of glaucoma, we may start out to organize the organizations for prevention and treatment of glaucoma matching with the local socio-economic status, to train and educate the professional teams for the prevention and treatment of glaucoma, to formulate the rules and regulations for managing glaucoma, and to strength the research works for the glaucoma.

Do transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks improve pain after laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repairs beyond the recovery unit? A randomized control trial.
Hernia
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, One Gustave L. Levy Place, Box 1259, New York, NY, 10029, USA.
Purpose: While surgeons agree that perioperative field blocks should be performed for open inguinal hernia surgery, there lacks consensus in the minimally invasive context. Prior small-scale randomized trials study pain scores only up to 24 h postoperatively. Thus, we sought to investigate the analgesic benefits of a bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in the first 4 postoperative days.

Curr Nutr Rep
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to determine whether muscle mass and function can be effectively maintained without relying on animal-based protein sources. We evaluate the quality, digestibility, and essential amino acid profiles of plant-based proteins to understand their potential in preventing and managing sarcopenia.
Recent Finding: Recent studies indicate that while animal-based proteins have traditionally been considered the gold standard for supporting muscle protein synthesis, certain plant-based protein blends, fortified with leucine or other essential amino acids, can produce comparable anabolic responses.
Giant encephalocele in newborns: prenatal diagnosis, management and outcome.
Childs Nerv Syst
January 2025
Department of Global Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton, ON, L8S 4L8, Canada.
Background: A giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation is a rare congenital anomaly from a cephalad neural tube defect. Early prenatal diagnosis and parental counseling are essential; as early surgical intervention can improve outcomes.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2023, twenty-seven newborns out of 43,815 delivered at our institution were diagnosed with encephaloceles, including seven cases of giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation type III.
Nutritional Strategies for Battling Obesity-Linked Liver Disease: the Role of Medical Nutritional Therapy in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) Management.
Curr Obes Rep
January 2025
Dipartimento Psicologia e Scienze della Salute, Università Telematica Pegaso, Centro Direzionale Isola F2, Via Porzio, Naples, 80143, Italy.
Purpose Of Review: This narrative review explores the role of Medical Nutritional Therapy (MNT) in managing Metabolic-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), previously known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It aims to examine the effectiveness of specific nutritional strategies in preventing and treating this obesity-linked liver disease.
Recent Findings: Emerging evidence underscores the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, low-carbohydrate diets, and intermittent fasting in reducing liver fat, improving insulin sensitivity, and mitigating inflammation.
Effects of different approaches of infraclavicular brachial plexus block on perfusion index and tissue perfusion.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Medicine Faculty, Zonguldak, Türkiye.
Background: Although both the lateral sagittal and costoclavicular approaches are applied at the cord level in the infraclavicular region, there is a major difference between the distributions of the two approaches. We aimed to investigate the effects of this different distribution on tissue perfusion and oxygenation.
Methods: Sixty patients undergoing elective elbow, forearm, wrist and hand surgery under infraclavicular brachial plexus block were included in the study.
