Objective: To evaluate GWAS significant associated SNP for primary angle closure glaucoma.

Methods: Experimental study. Taking advantage of different statistical models, the usefulness was evaluated by sensitivity, specificity and the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC), which indicates the accuracy of genetic profiling in discriminating between primary angle closure glaucoma patients and normal controls.

Results: rs11024102 (PLEKHA7) had a sensitivity of 55.88% with a specificity of 51.31%; the sensitivity and specificity of rs3753841 (COL11A1) was 54.47% and 51.00% respectively. The sensitivity of rs1015213 (PCNTD1-ST18) and rs1401999 (ABCC5) were 59.93% and 52.97%. The specificity of these two SNP were 45.32% and 50.00%. The positive predictive value curves of these four SNP were nearly reference line. The area under the curve (AUC) of four SNP combined was 0.51 and 0.52 in two situations.

Conclusion: These four GWAS significant SNP could not be used for primary angle closure glaucoma patients screening in clinic.

Background Recommendations regarding long-term postoperative activity are intended to prevent adverse events, but no common policy or best practice exists among ophthalmologists for pediatric patients. We surveyed ophthalmologists on their postoperative guidelines after the one-month postoperative period following childhood cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Methods A 28-question anonymous Qualtrics survey was distributed via listservs and social media.

Purpose: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have risen exponentially in usage and have been shown to exert neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple organ systems. This study investigates whether GLP-1RAs influence the risk for age-related ocular diseases.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative bladder neck thickness (BNT) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can guide surgical decisions in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) patients with a small volume (≤30 mL).

Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients were retrospectively collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare subjective (IPSS-voiding) and objective (Qmax) postoperative outcomes.

Modification of Liposomal Properties by an Engineered Gemini Surfactant.

Langmuir

January 2025

Department of Physics, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, United States.

Lipid membranes form the primary structure of cell membranes and serve as configurable interfaces across numerous applications including biosensing technologies, antifungal treatments, and therapeutic platforms. Therefore, the modification of lipid membranes by additives has important consequences in both biological processes and practical applications. In this study, we investigated a nicotinic-acid-based gemini surfactant (NAGS) as a chemically tunable molecular additive for modulating the structure and phase behavior of liposomal membranes.

Background: Intraoperative hip capsule management is increasingly recognized as an important component of hip arthroscopy for the prevention of capsular-related instability. The periportal capsulotomy, relative to the interportal capsulotomy, has been proposed as a minimally invasive technique for decreasing postarthroscopy hip instability; however, the biomechanical effects of this technique are not well established.

Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to provide a biomechanical characterization of interportal and periportal capsulotomies, helping inform surgeon choice of capsulotomy type and repair, potentially guiding clinical practice in hip arthroscopy.
