Purpose: To report a unique case of topiramate and hydrochlorothiazide associated with acute myopia and angle narrowing.
Patients And Methods: A 34-year-old Asian woman presented with prominent binocular visual acuity decrease 6 h after taking only one dose of 25 mg topiramate, 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide, and 22.4 mg fluoxetine to lose weight. She was subsequently diagnosed with acute bilateral myopia and angle narrowing and was started on topical therapy.
Results: Initial examination revealed a decreased visual acuity of 20/100 bilaterally, an elevated intraocular pressure of 23 mmHg in the right eye and 24 mmHg in the left eye, suprachoroidal effusions, and angle narrowing. After the discontinuation of these drugs and the use of IOP-lowering medication, the patient made full recovery.
Conclusion: We speculate that there is a drug-drug interaction between topiramate and hydrochlorothiazide that may lead to the angle narrowing in a short time and at a low dose. Timely discontinuation of the drug usually leads to complete recovery within days to weeks.

Wavelength-tunable infrared metasurfaces with chiral bound states in the continuum.

In recent years, research on chiral bound states in the continuum (BIC) has surged, leading to the development of various chiral metasurfaces with narrow bandwidths by breaking of in-plane and out-of-plane symmetries. However, the ability to dynamically tune the working band remains relatively unexplored, which is valuable for chiral sensing applications. Optical phase-change materials, with tunable dielectric constants and switchable properties during phase transition, offer the potential for dynamic control of optical metasurfaces.

Photogrammetric evaluation of extended midline strip craniectomy with bilateral parietal osteotomies on frontal morphology in patients with isolated sagittal synostosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a surgical procedure (extended strip craniectomy with bilateral barrel staving) for treating isolated craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture in infants, specifically focusing on its impact on cranial shape without directly addressing forehead issues.
- Results showed significant improvements in aspects like bossing angle and cephalic index over a year, although the cranial shape did not entirely match that of healthy peers, indicating partial normalization but not complete correction.
- The research validates 3D photogrammetry as a useful noninvasive tool for assessing cranial changes post-surgery, suggesting potential for wider clinical applications in monitoring cranial morphology.

Objective: Sagittal synostosis is the most common type of craniosynostosis, resulting in deformity with distinctive morphological characteristics. These include occipital narrowing, parietal narrowing, anteriorly shifted vertex with parietal depression, and exaggerated frontal bossing. The traditional cephalic index affords limited reliability in quantifying initial severity and correction.

Background & Aims: Phase angle (PhA) is viewed as a holistic indicator of quantity and quality of cellularity and hydration status and has emerged as a significant predictor of patient outcome in clinical medicine. We sought to analyze the impact of hospitalization as a surrogate for disease on the distribution of PhA and its dependency on influence variables age, sex, height and weight without any assumption as to the form of PhA-distribution.
Methods: First PhA measurements obtained from 2418 women (median age 75 IQR[63; 82]) and 2541 men (median age 70 IQR[60; 79]) hospitalized in a Community General Hospital were analyzed.
