Objectives: To compare peripapillary choroidal thickness (PP-CT) measurements using a spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) device with and without enhanced depth imaging (EDI).
Methods: Sixty healthy subjects aged from 18 to 40 years were included in this study. PP-CTs were measured in the right eyes by manual segmentation via SD-OCT both with and without EDI. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for each technique and comparison of PP-CT measurements between two techniques were evaluated. The correlation between retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and PP-CT was also explored on images of SD-OCT without EDI.
Results: The PP-CT measurements of 55 subjects were evaluated. The ICC was 0.999 (95% CI: 0.998-1.0, p < 0.001) for SD-OCT with EDI and 0.996 (95% CI: 0.995-0.997, p < 0.001) for SD-OCT without EDI. The mean PP-CT measurements in all regions and the overall mean PP-CT measurements between the two techniques were not different (p > 0.05). Additionally, there was no correlation between RNFL thickness and PP-CT (r = -0.109; p = 0.335).
Conclusions: The PP-CT measurements via SD-OCT without EDI were consistent with the measurements via SD-OCT with EDI. Ophthalmologists who do not have access to EDI technology can use images of SD-OCT without EDI to measure the peripapillary choroid for research purposes. However, thicker peripapillary choroids cannot be measured using this technique and require further modifications or newer technologies, such as SD-OCT with EDI.

Common Genetic Factors May Play a Role in the Relationships Between Body Composition, Adipokines, and Low-Back-Pain-Related Disability.

Article Synopsis
- * It used family-based statistical analysis methods to find that there is a significant genetic component influencing both LBP_DS and the measured body composition aspects and adipokines.
- * The results suggest that different genetic factors impact LBP_DS, showing a complex relationship where adipokine variations and body composition measurements may independently affect back pain disability without overlapping genetic influences.
MRI-based quantification of carbon and oxygen concentrations in human soft tissues for range verification in proton therapy.

Department of Radiological Technology, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan.
Background: In-situ range verification of particle therapy based on the detection of secondary emitted radiation requires highly accurate assignment of elemental concentrations (particularly carbon and oxygen) in the human body.
Purpose: A method for quantitatively predicting carbon and oxygen concentrations in human soft tissues is proposed. This method relies on an empirical one-to-one correspondence between the mass fraction and water content (WC), which is a measurable tissue quantity based on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (referred to as "MRWC-based method").

Slip-Related Changes in Plantar Pressure Distribution, and Parameters for Early Detection of Slip Events.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Hanyang University Guri Hospital, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Guri, Korea.
Objective: To investigate differences in plantar pressure distribution between a normal gait and unpredictable slip events to predict the initiation of the slipping process.
Methods: Eleven male participants were enrolled. Subjects walked onto a wooden tile, and two layers of oily vinyl sheet were placed on the expected spot of the 4th step to induce a slip.
Variation in the location of the shoe sole flexion point influences plantar loading patterns during gait.

Background: Several footwear design characteristics are known to have detrimental effects on the foot. However, one characteristic that has received relatively little attention is the point where the sole flexes in the sagittal plane. Several footwear assessment forms assume that this should ideally be located directly under the metarsophalangeal joints (MTPJs), but this has not been directly evaluated.
