Background: Advancements in cataract surgery have necessitated the availability of intraocular lens preloaded delivery systems that can safely, effectively and predictably deliver IOLs in the eye. Preloaded delivery systems simplify and reduce procedural variability during surgery preparation.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical acceptability, delivery characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients implanted with new generation hydrophobic acrylic Intraocular Lens with Preloaded delivery system.
Methods: This was a single centre retrospective study. Total 41 patients were enrolled in the study to get at least 38 patients for evaluation. All patients were assessed on day1 and 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Results: EYECRYL-SERT showed 'excellent' ease of insertion and handling in all 41(100%) patients. Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) improved from 0.74±0.58 logMAR during screening to 0.03±0.04 logMAR 6 months after surgery. The Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (CIVA) and Corrected Near Visual Acuity (CNVA) were 0.10±0.04 and 0.01±0.02 logMAR post 6 months surgery, respectively. The refractive spherical equivalence was -1.94±2.51 D during screening, which improved significantly (p=0.0018) to -0.21±0.47 D post 6 months surgery. The low and high contrast sensitivity was 0.06±0.06 and -0.05±0.06 logMAR after 6 months surgery, respectively. The endothelial cell loss was 5.67%, 7.22% and 9.75% at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, respectively, as compared to screening. None of the subjects reported any adverse event during the study period.
Conclusion: The IOL delivery system (EYECRYL_SERT) provided desired delivery characteristics during cataract surgery and was effective in improving clinical outcomes in cataract patients.

Perioperative Trends in Distress Among Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cancer Med

Department of Neurosurgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Introduction: Distress is common among cancer patients, especially those undergoing surgery. However, no study has systematically analyzed distress trends in this population. The purpose of this study was to systematically review perioperative rates of distress, as well as differences across cancer types, in cancer patients undergoing surgical intervention.

Department of Ophthalmology, 930003, University of Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.
Background: Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease, remains a significant public health concern in many regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and in Yobe State, Nigeria. One approach for elimination involves administering tetracycline eye ointment (TEO) to children <6 months of age as part of annual mass drug administration (MDA), aligning with the World Health Organization's 'A' component of the SAFE (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial hygiene and Environmental sanitation) strategy for elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. However, suboptimal compliance rates in affected populations pose challenges, potentially serving as a reservoir for reinfection and hindering progress toward trachoma elimination.

Background: The importance of subjective quality of life questionnaires in evaluating post-rhinoplasty outcomes and patient satisfaction is increasing.
Objective: This study aimed to measure the aesthetic and functional satisfaction of patients following septorhinoplasty using the Rhinoplasty Health Inventory and Nasal Outcomes (RHINO), Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE), and Nasal Obstructive Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaires.
Methods: This prospective study included 306 patients who underwent a primary open-technique septorhinoplasty.
Opioid withdrawal syndrome induced by naldemedine administration in a cancer patient without brain metastasis.

Departments of Psycho-oncology, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Objectives: Naldemedine is a peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonist used to treat opioid-induced constipation. As this drug does not cross the blood-brain barrier, it is believed that patients without brain metastases do not experience opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Methods: Here, we experienced a case in which a cancer patient without brain metastasis presented with anxiety and restlessness that was severe enough to interfere with daily life.

High pressure injection injuries to upper extremities are largely rare occurrences. The direct and indirect effects of the injected substance can cause debilitating consequences for those affected and can lead to digit amputation. This case series includes three patients with high pressure injection injuries admitted to a single tertiary centre over one year.
