Complications of inadvertent filtering blebs after cataract extraction.

J Cataract Refract Surg

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Virginia Medical Center, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.

Published: March 2012

Unlabelled: We report 2 cases of inadvertent filtering blebs that developed vision-threatening complications many years after uneventful cataract extraction with scleral incisions. These inadvertent blebs can create complications similar to the intentionally produced blebs from trabeculectomy surgery; thus, follow-up and management should be handled in a similar manner.

Hidden threat in turbid waters: Quantifying and modeling the bioaccumulation and risks of particulate metals to clams.

Environ Pollut

January 2025

Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory for Coastal Ecology and Environmental Studies, State Key Lab of Marine Environmental Science, College of the Environment and Ecology, Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, 361102, China. Electronic address:

A major proportion of metal contaminants in aquatic environments is bound to suspended particulate matter (SPM), yet environmental monitoring typically focuses on dissolved metals, with the filtration step removing SPM. This step may inadvertently hide the potential risks posed by particulate metals. In this study, we used stable isotope tracers to quantify the contributions of SPM-bound metals to the bioaccumulation of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in Ruditapes philippinarum, a widely distributed clam crucial to global aquaculture.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as a silent menace, infiltrating groundwater systems worldwide. Many countries, preoccupied with tackling legacy pollutants, have inadvertently neglected the emerging threat of PFAS. This review provides an exhaustive analysis beyond the current state of knowledge and sustainable pathways vis-a-vis addressing PFAS in groundwater systems globally.

The patch-clamp technique allows us to eavesdrop the gating behavior of individual ion channels with unprecedented temporal resolution. The signals arise from conformational changes of the channel protein as it makes rapid transitions between conducting and non-conducting states. However, unambiguous analysis of single-channel datasets is challenging given the inadvertently low signal-to-noise ratio as well as signal distortions caused by low-pass filtering.

High-efficient nanoemulsions separation by surface manipulation of sands.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Advanced Metallic Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Southeast Road 2nd, Nanjing 211189, PR China. Electronic address:

Oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions, prevalent in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries, present significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health upon their inadvertent release into the environment. However, the nanoscale droplet size and robust interfacial film of nanoemulsions confer exceptional stability, rendering their separation a formidable challenge. Developing an economical and efficient method to remove nanoemulsions is crucial, offering a cost-effective and energy-saving alternative to traditional techniques.

An elderly patient who presented with 1 week of fever and respiratory symptoms was tested for dengue infection with an Abbott Bioline™ Dengue Duo immunochromatographic assay. Unexpectedly, the control line of the dengue non-structural protein 1 (NS1) component was absent, necessitating result invalidation. It remained absent when the test was repeated on the SD Biosensor Standard™ Q Dengue Duo, but present on the Wells Bio careUS Dengue Combo and Asan Easy Test® Dengue DUO assays, suggesting potential interference.
