A student squinting to see the board or holding a textbook inches from his or her nose often provides the first indication of a visual impairment. For most, the cause is a refractive error, readily correctible with eyeglasses. However, for an estimated 40-65 million people globally with functional low vision, the fuzzy words pose a lifelong challenge.

Algorithmic individual fairness and healthcare: a scoping review.
JAMIA Open
February 2025
Intelligent Systems Program, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, United States.
Objectives: Statistical and artificial intelligence algorithms are increasingly being developed for use in healthcare. These algorithms may reflect biases that magnify disparities in clinical care, and there is a growing need for understanding how algorithmic biases can be mitigated in pursuit of algorithmic fairness. We conducted a scoping review on algorithmic individual fairness (IF) to understand the current state of research in the metrics and methods developed to achieve IF and their applications in healthcare.

Background: Laparoscopic resection of hepatic segment 7 is considered particularly difficult. We analyzed anatomic variation of this segment in caudally oriented 3-dimensional (3D) magnified computed tomographic (CT) images obtained prior to liver resection.
Methods: Analysis included 105 patients with preoperative 3D CT evaluation preceding liver resection for hepatobiliary malignancies between April 2021 and April 2024.
Early crack resistance and life cycle assessment of seawater-mixed sintered sludge cement paste.

Article Synopsis
- - The research shows that using sintered sludge ash (SSA) in seawater-mixed cement (SC) paste improves early crack resistance and increases splitting tensile strength by 24.4%, countering the brittleness caused by chloride and sulfate.
- - Digital image correlation technology reveals that SSA helps control crack propagation, reducing crack width by 30% and extending the time before cracking occurs during the inhomogeneous shrinkage process.
- - Incorporating 50% SSA not only enhances the microstructure but also leads to a 4.1% reduction in carbon emissions, contributing to a 47.8% decrease in global warming potential, showcasing the environmental benefits of using this material.
Neurosurgical applications of the exoscope: from in vitro studies to real-life surgical use in selective dorsal rhizotomy.

Background: The microscope has been the gold standard in neurosurgical practice due to its ability to magnify anatomical structures. However, it has limitations, including restricted visual fields and ergonomic challenges that can lead to surgeon fatigue and musculoskeletal issues. The exoscope is an emerging technology that may address these limitations by offering comparable magnification with improved ergonomics.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a global health crisis, profoundly impacted all aspects of daily life. Adolescence, a pivotal stage of psychological and social development, is heavily influenced by the psychosocial and socio-cultural context. Hence, it is imperative to thoroughly understand the psychosocial changes adolescents experienced during the pandemic and implement effective management initiatives.
