Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze choroidal thickness (CT), along with macular thickness (MT), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and macular vascular density (MVD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in children with unilateral amblyopia, and compare the same with normal fellow eyes and normal eyes of normal children before and following occlusion therapy.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal study of 60 children (4-18 years); 30 children had unilateral amblyopia and remaining 30 were normal. Group 1 consisted of 30 amblyopic eyes of children with unilateral amblyopia; Group 2 consisted of 30 fellow normal eyes of Group 1; Group 3 consisted of normal eyes of normal children.
Background: Diabetic mononeuropathies, which are focal neuropathies, are less common than peripheral neuropathy in diabetes. They are frequently underreported or misdiagnosed due to mild or unnoticed cases. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent worsening nerve damage and complications.

Background: This study aimed to establish a model for predicting the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction based on a Bayesian network to meet following requirements: (1) analyse the interaction of the primary risk factors; (2) output quantitative difficulty-evaluation results based on the patient's personal situation; and (3) identify key surgical points and propose surgical protocols to decrease complications.
Methods: Relevant articles were searched to identify risk factors. Clinical knowledge and experience were used to analyse the risk factors to establish the Bayesian network.

Purpose: The branching pattern of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve (DBUN) in the hand is complex. The anatomy of the motor branch innervating the fourth lumbrical (4L), where paralysis results in a claw hand deformity after ulnar nerve injury, is not well defined. This cadaver study focused on mapping and defining anatomical landmarks in relation to the motor branch to the 4L.

The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of arthroscopic subscapularis tendon repair combined with coracoplasty in the treatment. The study involved 80 patients (46 males, 34 females; aged 33 to 73 years), who underwent arthroscopic repair for subscapularis tears (type I, II, and III) presenting symptoms of anterior shoulder pain and tenderness. Subcoracoid impingement was defined as a coracohumeral distance of less than 6 mm on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, with a follow-up of was at least two years.
