Purpose: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) by a swept source can visualize the ciliary body. The study was performed for analyzing the feasibility of a new swept-source OCT (Anterion) device for measuring iris ciliary sulcus, ciliary body thickness, and iris thickness.
Methods: It is a pilot study among 30 normal young participants and hospital employees with their consent. The ciliary body, iris thickness, and ciliary sulcus were measured and compared to the results in the literature. We obtained 28 good-quality results. The main outcome measures were iris thickness (near and away from the pupillary margin), ciliary body thickness, and iridociliary sulcus measurement.
Results: The iris thickness 2.5 mm from the pupillary margin was 0.70 ± 0.10 mm in the right eye and 0.68 ± 0.11 in the left eye. Closer to the root, the iris thickness varied from 0.55 ± 0.16 mm (right eye) and 0.57 ± 0.12 (left eye). Ciliary body thickness: Right eye 0.59 ± 0.14mm (28 good images), left eye 0.58 ± 0.13mm; ciliary sulcus (inner angle): right eye 82.65 ± 26.6°, left eye 83.66 ± 30.1°.
Conclusion: Anterion OCT is feasible in our setting for various measurements and can provide valuable inputs to ophthalmologists for the treatment of ocular diseases.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) plays a crucial role in glaucoma development, involving the dynamics of aqueous humor (AH). AH flows in from the ciliary body and exits through the trabecular meshwork (TM). IOP follows a circadian rhythm synchronized with the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the circadian pacemaker.

Background: The following case report details the genetic evaluation and treatment of a 30-year-old male with a history of asthenoteratospermia and notable abnormalities of the sperm flagella.
Methods: Genetic evaluation was performed via a multi-gene panel of genes associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) prior to the couple's in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.

Persistent hypotony following Tanito microhook trabeculotomy (TMH) is rare but may occur due to the development of cyclodialysis clefts. We report a case of a Japanese man in his 40s who developed persistent hypotony and hypotony maculopathy after TMH in the left eye. Fourteen months after the surgery, the patient was referred to our institution due to prolonged hypotony that remained undiagnosed and untreated despite evaluations with gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) at the referring clinic.
