Purpose: To explore the repeatability of lower-order and higher-order ocular aberrations measured in patients with keratoconus.
Methods: The IRX-3 (Imagine Eyes, Paris, France) aberrometer was used to record lower-order and higher-order aberrations in 31 eyes of 31 patients with keratoconus. Four monocular measurements were taken consecutively for each patient. The aberrometry data were analysed up to the 5th Zernike order for a 4-mm pupil diameter. The data were evaluated using repeated-measures anova and Friedman analyses. Repeatability was analysed using within-subject standard deviation (S(W) ) and the repeatability limit (r) calculated as 1.96 ×√2 × S(w).
Results: Of the 11 aberration terms evaluated, the repeatability of Z (2,0) (mean = 1.36 μm; S(W) = 0.09 μm; r = 0.26 μm); Z (2,±2) RMS (mean = 1.05 μm; S(W) = 0.09 μm; r = 0.24 μm) and Z (4,0) aberrations (mean = 0.34 μm; S(W) = 0.09 μm; r = 0.24 μm) showed the highest variability. In contrast, Z (3,±1) RMS aberrations (mean = 0.85 μm; S(W) = 0.06 μm; r = 0.16 μm) and Z (4,±2) RMS aberrations (mean = 0.40 μm; S(W) = 0.07 μm; r = 0.18 μm) showed comparatively better repeatability.
Conclusions: The lower-order and higher-order aberrations measured in this group of keratoconic patients showed higher levels of variability compared to previous investigations of visually-normal subjects. These results may be of interest to eyecare practitioners involved in the design and fitting of aberration-controlling contact lenses for patients with keratoconus.

Background: Centrifugal compressors are dynamic machines utilizing a rotating impeller, efficiently accelerate incoming gases, transforming kinetic energy into pressure energy for compression. They serve a wide range of industries, including air conditioning, refrigeration, gas turbines, industrial processes, and applications such as air compression, gas transportation, and petrochemicals, demonstrating their versatility. Designing a centrifugal compressor poses challenges related to achieving high aerodynamic efficiency, surge and choke control, material selection, rotor dynamics, cavitation, erosion, and addressing environmental considerations while balancing costs.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates, with male cases of AAM being less frequently reported. This study presents a rare case of primary prostatic AAM characterized by a prostatic urethral mass obstructing the bladder outlet, resulting in acute renal dysfunction.
Case Description: The 51-year-old male patient presented with lumbar pain, nausea, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination.

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Columbus, OH, USA.
Background: Rotator cuff repairs may fail because of compromised blood supply, suture anchor pullout, or poor fixation to bone. To augment the repairs and promote healing of the tears, orthobiologics, such a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biologic scaffolds have been applied with mixed results. Adipose allograft matrix (AAM), which recruits native cells to damaged tissues, may also be a potential treatment for rotator cuff tears.

Purpose To develop and evaluate the performance of NNFit, a self-supervised deep-learning method for quantification of high-resolution short echo-time (TE) echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) datasets, with the goal of addressing the computational bottleneck of conventional spectral quantification methods in the clinical workflow. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 89 short-TE whole-brain EPSI/GRAPPA scans from clinical trials for glioblastoma (Trial 1, May 2014-October 2018) and major-depressive-disorder (Trial 2, 2022- 2023). The training dataset included 685k spectra from 20 participants (60 scans) in Trial 1.
