Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy at which visual field global indices could be estimated from OCT scans of the retina using deep neural networks and to quantify the contributions to the estimates by the macula (MAC) and the optic nerve head (ONH).
Design: Observational cohort study.
Participants: A total of 10 370 eyes from 109 healthy patients, 697 glaucoma suspects, and 872 patients with glaucoma over multiple visits (median = 3).
Methods: Three-dimensional convolutional neural networks were trained to estimate global visual field indices derived from automated Humphrey perimetry (SITA 24-2) tests (Zeiss, Dublin, CA), using OCT scans centered on MAC, ONH, or both (MAC + ONH) as inputs.
Main Outcome Measures: Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and absolute errors calculated for 2 indices: visual field index (VFI) and mean deviation (MD).
Results: The MAC + ONH achieved 0.76 Spearman's correlation coefficient and 0.87 Pearson's correlation for VFI and MD. Median absolute error was 2.7 for VFI and 1.57 decibels (dB) for MD. Separate MAC or ONH estimates were significantly less correlated and less accurate. Accuracy was dependent on the OCT signal strength and the stage of glaucoma severity.
Conclusions: The accuracy of global visual field indices estimate is improved by integrating information from MAC and ONH in advanced glaucoma, suggesting that structural changes of the 2 regions have different time courses in the disease severity spectrum.

In order to address the issue of tracking errors of collision Caenorhabditis elegans, this research proposes an improved particle filter tracking method integrated with cultural algorithm. The particle filter algorithm is enhanced through the integration of the sine cosine algorithm, thereby facilitating uninterrupted tracking of the target C. elegans.

Because of its benign nature and rarity, circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) often receives limited attention, leading to a high rate of misdiagnosis and a lack of standardized treatment protocols. We provide a thorough clarification of the demographics, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of CCH. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid databases up to December, 2023, to identify relevant studies.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of administering intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) on altering visual field clarity (VFC) during arthroscopic hip preservation surgery for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-design trial was conducted over a seven-month period between October 2023 and May 2024 at a single tertiary musculoskeletal hospital. Inclusion criteria included consecutive patients that were diagnosed with FAIS through clinical history, physical exam and advanced imaging and indicated for hip arthroscopy after having failed conservative management.

Rapid and accurate detection of Chlamydia psittaci, the causative agent of psittacosis, is crucial for both human and animal health but presents significant challenges, particularly in grassroots health institutions. Our previous PDTCTR fluorescence sensing platform, which combined the engineered Cas12f1_ge4.1 system with recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), significantly enhanced detection efficiency.

Background: We aimed to assess impairments on health-related quality of life, and mental health resulting from Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with monocular visual field loss and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) with full or partial hemianopia using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: In a prospective study, consecutive patients with acute RAO on fundoscopy and PCIS on imaging were recruited during their surveillance on a stroke unit over a period of 15 months. Baseline characteristics were determined from medical records and interviews.
