The objective was to explore the effectiveness of glenohumeral joint distension for the treatment of frozen shoulder. We searched electronic data sources including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase from the earliest records available to February 2017. Eleven randomized controlled trials including at least one pair of comparisons between capsular distension and a reference treatment were included, comprising 747 participants. Patients' characteristics, details of reference treatments, aspects of capsular distension therapy, and outcome measurement were evaluated at three points in time: baseline, early following intervention, and at the trial's end. The primary and secondary outcomes were the between-group standardized mean differences of changes in shoulder function and range of motion, respectively. Regarding the long-term primary outcome, the superiority of capsular distension to reference treatments was not identified. One secondary outcome (external rotation limitation) showed a probable early positive response to capsular distension when compared to intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Aspects of approaches, imaging guiding techniques and doses of distension were not found to modify treatment effectiveness. In conclusion, distension of the glenohumeral joint provides a similar long-term efficacy to all reference treatments. A single dose of a corticosteroid-contained regimen introduced through the ultrasound-guided posterior approach is a preferable practice of capsular distension for the management of frozen shoulder.

The Lens Dysfunction Syndrome includes two widespread ocular disorders: presbyopia and cataract. Understanding its etiology, onset, progression, impact, prevention, and treatment remains a significant scientific challenge. The lens is a fundamental structure of the ocular dioptric system that allows for focus adjustment or accommodation to view objects at different distances.

Background: This study aimed to compare hydrodilatation with or without corticosteroid administration on the outcomes of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, blinded study of 82 patients with adhesive capsulitis treated with hydrodilatation with corticosteroids (HDC) or without corticosteroids (HDA). Assessments were performed at 48 h and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Article Synopsis
- Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare ovarian germ cell tumor with about 5% becoming malignant (MSO), and this study analyzed clinical data from 23 patients with varying types of SO from 2013 to 2023.
- The research found that benign SO typically occurs in older, postmenopausal women, while MSO patients often show no symptoms, making early detection challenging; it also highlighted key surgical approaches that affect recurrence risk in MSO.
- The study emphasizes the importance of surgical strategy, particularly recommending salpingo-oophorectomy for lower recurrence rates, and advises thorough preoperative discussions for patients concerned about fertility preservation.

Purpose: Describe the clinical features and management of this uncommon case of late-onset Capsular bag distension syndrome that occurred 33 years after cataract surgery.
Observation: An 87-year-old male was referred to our clinic complaining of blurred and gradual, painless reduction in vision in his left eye over the past year. A complete ophthalmological examination, Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and optical biometry were performed to confirm the diagnosis.
