Purpose: To describe a new technique for suturing of the intracorneal ring segments to stabilize it in the proper location and to prevent recurrent displacement of the ring.
Methods: Two patients with recurrent ring segment migration toward the incision were treated with this new surgical technique between 2010 and 2013. The first case had Intacs ring (Addition Technology, Fremont, CA) and migration occurred 2 months after implantation. The second case had Keraring segment (Mediphacos, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) and migration occurred 1 week postoperatively. The ring segments were fixated to the cornea with a 10-0 nylon suture through the channel. The suture was removed at 1 month postoperatively.
Results: Ring segments remained in the desired location with a follow-up period of at least 6 months after implantation.
Conclusions: This newly described ring suturing technique is an effective procedure that can be used to treat ring segment migration in the channel.

The coffee-ring effect, involving spontaneous solute separation, has demonstrated promising potential in the context of patient serum analysis. In this study, an approach leveraging the coffee-ring-based analyte redistribution was developed for spectral analysis of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). By performing radical SERS scanning through the coffee-ring area and sampling across the coffee ring, complicated chemical information was spatially gathered for further spectra analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine (EPB-TBM) with a horseshoe-shaped cross section was tested for its structural integrity in a loess mountain tunnel, leading to full-scale ring tests to examine its behavior.
- The tests revealed that the most significant structural failures occurred in the arch area of the segmental lining, while the invert structure remained stable.
- Findings indicated similarities in deformation and failure mechanisms between horseshoe-shaped and circular tunnel linings, with joint positioning affecting bending moments and initial segment damage frequently happening at the inferior joints.

Introduction: The standard treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is surgery with perioperative chemotherapy. A tumor response to systemic therapy confirmed at pathology examination is the strongest predictor of survival, but it cannot be adequately predicted in the preoperative setting. This bi-institutional retrospective study investigates whether CT-based radiomics of CRLM and peritumoral tissue provides a reliable non-invasive estimation of the pathological tumor response to chemotherapy.
