Objective: To compare the clinical features of primary vs secondary retinal vasoproliferative tumors (VPTs).
Methods: Retrospective case series of 334 tumors in 295 eyes of 275 patients.
Results: Of 275 patients with VPT, 41% (n = 113) were male and 59% (n = 162) were female, with a mean age of 44 years at presentation. Primary VPT occurred in 80% (n = 219) and secondary VPT, in 20% (n = 56) of patients. Secondary VPT (n = 67) occurred in eyes with retinitis pigmentosa (n = 15, 22%), pars planitis (n = 14, 21%), Coats disease (n = 11, 16%), previous retinal detachment surgery (n = 8, 12%), idiopathic peripheral retinal vasculitis (n = 4, 6%), familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (n = 3, 4%), and others (n = 12, 18%). The mean interval between diagnosis of underlying ocular condition and secondary VPT was 160 months. Statistically significant differences (P < .05) in clinical features (primary vs secondary VPTs) included mean age at presentation (46 vs 38 years), visual symptoms (74% vs 87%), poor visual acuity worse than 20/200 (15% vs 28%), bilaterality (4% vs 20%), multifocality (5% vs 15%), postequatorial tumor location (20% vs 33%), tumor basal dimension (6 vs 7 mm), anterior chamber cells (16% vs 30%), and vitreous cells (19% vs 48%).
Conclusions: Retinal vasoproliferative tumor can be primary (80%) or secondary (20%). Compared with primary VPT, secondary VPT is more often bilateral, multiple, and larger and occurs at an earlier age associated with poorer visual acuity.

CT-based liver peritumoral radiomics features predict hepatic metastases sources as gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal.
Br J Radiol

Department of Radiology, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, China.
Objectives: To investigate the feasibility of radiomics models for predicting the source of hepatic metastases from gastrointestinal (GI) vs. non-gastrointestinal (non-GI) primary tumors on contrast enhanced CT(CECT).
Methods: 347 patients with liver metastases (180 from GI and 167 from non-GI) and abdominal CECT including arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases were divided into training (221) and validation (96) sets at a ratio of 7:3 and an independent testing set (30).
A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Alpha-Lipoic Acid on Neuropathic Symptoms in Diabetic Neuropathy Patients on Gabapentin or Pregabalin.

Introduction Chronic hyperglycemia is a key factor in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), contributing significantly to the progression of this condition through the induction of oxidative stress. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause damage to neuronal cells and exacerbate neuropathic symptoms. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes ROS and reduces oxidative damage.

Background: Vital pulp therapy (VPT) has recently been reported as an effective approach for preventing and treating carious pulp injury in permanent teeth. Compared with root canal treatment (RCT), which involves complete removal of the pulp tissue, VPT effectively maintains pulp vitality and retains the physiological functions of the pulp. In the research pool, large-scale randomized controlled trials evaluating the treatment outcome of VPT using calcium silicate cements and RCT in cariously exposed permanent teeth are lacking.

Objective: To examine if the annual patient volume of infants born very preterm (VPT, gestational age <32 weeks) at a hospital is associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity.
Study Design: We performed an observational, secondary data analysis using a 20-year panel of birth certificates linked to hospital discharge abstracts, including transfers in California, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina from 1996 through 2015. The study included all in-hospital VPT deliveries (n = 208 261).

criteria were randomized to each irrigant, 65 in the NaOCl and 60 in the NSS groups. ProRoot® MTA was used as a pulp dressing material in both groups and teeth were followed for 12 months. The primary outcome was the success of VPT; requiring both clinical and radiographic success to be considered as success.
