Purpose: To report the long-term visual outcomes and biocompatibility of a single-piece hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with uveitis having cataract surgery.
Setting: Tertiary referral center, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Design: Retrospective case review.
Methods: The review included consecutive uveitis patients in whom phacoemulsification and acrylic IOL implantation was performed by the same surgeon. Outcomes measures are reported as rate/eye-year and included visual acuity and signs of bioincompatibility.
Results: The review identified 171 eyes (140 patients; mean age 51 years [range 16 to 85 years]) with uveitis. The mean follow-up was 3.8 years (range 0.9 to 10.3 years). Signs of uveal bioincompatibility were found in 31 eyes, with visually insignificant deposits on the IOL in 17 eyes. The rate of uveal bioincompatibility was 0.06/eye-year. Signs of capsule bioincompatibility were found in 107 (63%) of 171 eyes (0.31/eye-year). Posterior capsule opacification was documented in 102 eyes (0.29/eye-year); neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy was required in 31 eyes (0.05/eye-year). The rate of failure to maintain a 3 logMAR line improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 0.08/eye-year; to maintain better than 0.3 logMAR, 0.15/eye-year; and to maintain either, 0.04/eye-year. At 1 year, 85% of eyes had a CDVA of better than 0.3 logMAR or maintained a 3 logMAR-line improvement. Eyes with preexisting macular or optic nerve disease had significantly worse visual outcomes.
Conclusions: The long-term safety profile of the hydrophilic acrylic IOL was good in uveitis cases, leading to good visual outcomes and a low rate of vision-impairing uveal and capsule complications.

Correlation analysis between preoperative odontoid incidence and clinical outcomes 2 years after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, 510405, China.
Objective: This study presents a novel odontoid parameter, the odontoid incidence (OI), to examine the correlation between OI on preoperative cervical sagittal radiographs and 2-year clinical outcomes following short-segment anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 87 patients with CSM who underwent ACDF surgery from January 2018 to December 2023 was conducted. The patients were categorized into a larger OI group (44 patients, OI > 12.
Neighborhood environment associations with cognitive function and structural brain measures in older African Americans.
BMC Med
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Background: Since older adults spend significant time in their neighborhood environment, environmental factors such as neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, high racial segregation, low healthy food availability, low access to recreation, and minimal social engagement may have adverse effects on cognitive function and increase susceptibility to dementia. DNA methylation, which is associated with neighborhood characteristics as well as cognitive function and white matter hyperintensity (WMH), may act as a mediator between neighborhood characteristics and neurocognitive outcomes.
Methods: In this study, we examined whether DNA methylation in peripheral blood leukocytes mediates the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and cognitive function (N = 542) or WMH (N = 466) in older African American (AA) participants without preliminary evidence of dementia from the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA).
Laparoscopic varicocelectomy: Does intraoperative lymphography with vital dye influence the outcome?
J Pediatr Urol
December 2024
Pediatric Urology Unit, Bambino Gesù Children Hospital and Research Center IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Vital dyes lymphography during laparoscopic varicocelectomy (LV) has been suggested to allow for lymphatic mapping thereby allowing for lymphatic sparing (LS) and subsequent reduction of hydrocele formation. Intratesticular injection of the dye seems to achieve the best lymphatic visualization, however, the potential toxicity of some agents, is a cause of concern for the risk of testicular pathological changes. We report our experience with LV, to test the hypothesis that Intraoperative lymphography with methylene blue (BL), is safe and reduces the rate of post-operative hydrocelectomy.

Background: Screening for atrial fibrillation is rising and may worsen or improve quality of life.
Methods: We assessed quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) data in 6,004 participants with stroke risk factors randomised to usual care (n=4,503) or implantable loop recorder with anticoagulation upon detection of atrial fibrillation (n=1,501). Five domains (mobility, selfcare, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each scored from one to five were calculated into individual index scores (worst=-0.
Comparison of the efficacy of repeated greater occipital nerve block and pulsed radiofrequency therapy in chronic migraine patients: a randomized controlled study.

Department of Anesthesiology & Algology, Adnan Menderes University Medical Faculty, 09100 Aydin, Turkey.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of greater occipital nerve (GON) block and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment in chronic migraine patients. Seventy patients admitted to the Neurology and Algology outpatient clinic between September 2023 and December 2023 and diagnosed with chronic migraine according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd Edition (ICHD-3) criteria were included in the study. Patients were randomized into 2 groups to receive ultrasound-guided repeated GON block and PRF.
