Purpose: To compare the visual and refractive outcomes after FEMTOLASIK with and without iris registration.
Methods: In this randomized, prospective, comparative, contralateral eye study, 118 eyes of 59 patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism underwent LASIK using the Femto LDV femtosecond laser (160 µm) and the MEL80 with or without iris registration. For each patient, iris registration FEMTOLASIK was performed on one eye and non-iris registration FEMTOLASIK was performed on the other eye, assigned at random. Patients were evaluated before and 12 months. Uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, manifest refraction, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were evaluated.
Results: At 12 months, the mean UDVA was 0.002 ± 0.07 logMAR (20/19) in iris registration eyes and 0.00 ± 0.06 logMAR (20/24) in non-iris registration eyes (P = 0.9). 61% of iris registration eyes and 71.2% of non-iris registration eyes achieved a UDVA of 20/20 or better (P = 0.31); 98.3% of eyes with the iris registration FEMTOLASIK and 94.9% with the non-iris registration FEMTOLASIK were within ±0.50 D from emmetropia (P = 0.71). No statistically significant difference was found in postoperative contrast sensitivity between groups at 3, 6, 12, or 18 cycles/degree (P > 0.05). There was significant increase in total HOA root mean square in two groups. The mean error magnitude of surgically induced astigmatism 12 months postoperatively was -0.33 in iris registration eyes and -0.24 in the non-iris registration eyes (P = 0.36).
Conclusions: FEMTOLASIK with and without iris registration provides similar results in myopic and myopic astigmatism patients.

Introduction: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) treats osteoarthritis in one knee compartment, while total knee arthroplasty (TKA) addresses all compartments. The debate focuses on UKA's advantages of quicker recovery and fewer complications versus TKA's lower long-term revision rates, emphasizing the need for thorough outcome evaluations. The aim of the present study is to describe and compare the pain, functional and psychological trajectories during a 6-month postoperative rehabilitation period between total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasties.

Introduction: This umbrella review identified the current high-quality systematic reviews on e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid. What is the comparative effectiveness of e-cigarettes compared to other cessation treatments or approaches? We also investigated the systematic reviews for reporting biases.
Methods: This umbrella review was based on the Methods for Overviews of Reviews (MOoR) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of Reviews (PRIOR).

Background: Loneliness, a major public health concern, could be alleviated through social interventions with nature contact as a primary component. "Friends in Nature" is a complex nature-based social intervention designed to be implemented as part of "Reimagining Environments for Connection and Engagement: Testing Actions for Social Prescribing in Natural Spaces" (RECETAS). This project aims to alleviate loneliness and promote health-related quality of life in six different geographic areas worldwide.

Objective: To compare the effects of compression or stretching exercises on the flexion-relaxation response (electromyography signals of back muscles) in patients with DGS.
Effect of ventricular fibrillation on infarct size after myocardial infarction: a translational study.

Ventricular fibrillation (VF)-induced cardiac arrest frequently complicates ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although larger infarct sizes (IS) correlate with a higher risk of VF, the influence of VF itself on IS has remained poorly investigated. To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed the effect of VF on IS in patients and two experimental models.
