Malignant glaucoma (MG), also known as aqueous misdirection and cilio-vitreo-lenticular block, is an infrequent cause of secondary angle closure glaucoma. Despite conventional treatment, it often has a poor visual outcome. It is recognized clinically by raised intraocular pressure associated with shallowing of the peripheral and central anterior chamber in the presence of a patent peripheral iridotomy/iridectomy. Despite being known to occur after a variety of surgical procedures, it most commonly presents following filtration surgery in hypermetropic eyes with angle closure glaucoma. It can present within a range of postsurgical latencies, ranging from 1 day to many months. We describe a case of pseudophakic MG that was unusual in that it presented spontaneously many years following cataract surgery. We postulate the etiology of our spontaneous onset pseudophakic MG was the anterior subluxation of the large diameter intraocular lens secondary to zonular weakness.

Linear incrementality in focus and accentuation processing during sentence production: evidence from eye movements.
Front Hum Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China.
Introduction: While considerable research in language production has focused on incremental processing during conceptual and grammatical encoding, prosodic encoding remains less investigated. This study examines whether focus and accentuation processing in speech production follows linear or hierarchical incrementality.
Methods: We employed visual world eye-tracking to investigate how focus and accentuation are processed during sentence production.

The etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear, treatment options unsatisfactory and disease development difficult to predict for individual patients. Dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiota and disruption of the biological clock have been implicated and studied as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Here, we examine the relationship of IBD to biological clock and gut microbiota by using the IL-10 deficient () mouse model for microbiota-dependent spontaneous colitis in combination with altered (4 h/4 h) light/dark cycles to disrupt and time-restricted feeding (TRF) to restore circadian rhythmicity.

Background: Spinal cord vascular malformations (SCVMs) in children are relatively rare and present unique challenges due to their distinct physiological characteristics. These malformations often manifest with nonspecific clinical symptoms, increasing the likelihood of misdiagnosis. The treatment of pediatric SCVMs requires a tailored approach, with the choice between microsurgical intervention and endovascular embolization depending on the specific type of malformation and individual patient factors.

Background: Hematoma expansion after intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in anticoagulated patients signifi-cantly influences clinical outcomes and mortality, emphasizing the need for effective reversal agents. Andexanet alfa is a specific reversal agent for factor Xa associated major bleeding.
Aims: The ASTRO-DE study collected real-world evidence on the effect of andexanet alfa on mitigat-ing hematoma expansion and altering prognosis in rivaroxaban- or apixaban-treated patients with ICH.
Interfacial Rheology as a Tool to Characterize the Dynamics of Spontaneous Emulsification.

Water-in-oil emulsions are critical in various fields, including food, agriculture, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. In some situations, spontaneous emulsification occurs in emulsions with high concentrations of oil-soluble surfactants, in which the parent water drops fragment into finer droplets, forming a network near the interface, which exhibits interfacial elasticity. This study investigates this phenomenon using a water/Span 80-paraffin oil system.
