Purpose: To investigate the effect of disease progression on the monocular preferred retinal locus (PRL) of the better eye (BE) and worse eye (WE) of patients with central vision loss.
Methods: Fifty-one patients with bilateral macular diseases were included. The monocular PRL was recorded for each eye ( = 102 eyes) with the MP-1 microperimeter in two visits that were 458 ± 249 days apart. For each eye and visit, the PRL distance from the former fovea, polar angle, and scotoma size were measured. The change in PRL location from visit 1 to visit 2 was evaluated with the differential map analysis.
Results: Scotoma size increased significantly in both eyes. The PRL distance from the former fovea increased significantly from visit 1 to visit 2 in the BE, but not in the WE. The polar angle was relatively stable in both visits for the BE. The change in PRL location in the BE was predicted only by the PRL distance from the former fovea in visits 1 and 2, but not by polar angle or scotoma size. For the WE, the change in PRL location depended on the change in PRL location in the BE, rather than on measurements made on that eye.
Conclusions: Disease progression affects monocular PRL location differently in the 2 eyes. The results suggest a recalibration of the oculomotor system with its reference at the PRL from the BE.
Translational Relevance: These findings are important for deciding the course of treatment and/or for developing rehabilitation techniques focusing on PRL relocation.

The elongation of primary feathers in neonatal chicks is delayed by the late-feathering K gene located on the Z chromosome. We recently found that the K gene slows feather growth by reducing the number of functional prolactin (PRL) receptor (PRLR) dimers. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which PRL promotes feather elongation.

Objective: Prevalence, susceptibility genes, and clinical and radiological features may differ across different ethnic groups of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aim to characterize brain lesions in Chinese patients with MS by use of 7-T MRI.
Methods: MS participants were enrolled from the ongoing China National Registry of Neuro-Inflammatory Diseases (CNRID) cohort.

Objective: Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are a biomarker of chronic active lesions (CALs), and an important driver of neurological disability in multiple sclerosis (MS). The reason subtending some acute lesions evolvement into CALs is not known. Here we ask whether a relatively lower oxygen content is linked to CALs.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the elemental composition of the Moon's surface to understand its formation and evolution, utilizing data from multiple lunar missions.
- Recent in situ measurements from India's Chandrayaan-3 mission reveal that the southern high-latitude regions of the Moon are primarily made up of ferroan anorthosite, indicating a history of crystallization from a lunar magma ocean.
- The presence of higher magnesium levels compared to calcium suggests that there is mixing with additional mafic materials, while the consistent composition within the surrounding area lends support to remote sensing data accuracy.
Molecular characterization of canine circovirus based on the Capsid gene in Thailand.

Background: Canine circovirus (CanineCV) is a single-stranded circular DNA virus that infects domestic and wild canids in many countries. CanineCV is associated with gastroenteritis and diarrhea, respiratory disease, and generalized vasculitis leading to a fatal event. The Capsid protein (Cap) is a structural protein of the virus which has high genetic variability and plays a role in the canine immune response.
