Plastics pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems, owing to their slow biodegradability. Microplastics (MPs), in particular, affect marine life and maricultural organisms and can enter the food chain via ingestion by marine organisms, leading to bioaccumulation in predators, including humans. This study assessed the toxic interactions between polystyrene microplastic particles (PSMPs) and cadmium (Cd) and phenanthrene (Phe) using marine bivalves.

This study aims to analyze the impact of different 3D printed biomimetic midsole structures on gait phase and gait ratio to optimize running shoe design. Participants wore shoes with various 3D printed midsoles while gait ratio(heel rotation, foot balance, forefoot balance, hallux stiffness, medial forefoot balance, and meta loading) and gait phase(forefoot off phase, foot flat phase, forefoot contact phase, and initial contact phase) data were collected using a gait analysis system. These metrics reflect foot pressure distribution, gait symmetry, and balance, providing insights into how midsole structures affect gait.

Methods: In this study, axial length (AL), flat (K1), and steep (K2) axis, and the average (K-avg) keratometry values measured with the Lenstar LS 900 and the Nidek AL-Scan in patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification and the mean absolute error (MAE) of both devices were compared.
Results: One hundred five eyes of 105 patients were examined.
Purpose: To report the visual and tomographic outcomes 1 year after porcine collagen lenticule implantation in eyes with advanced keratoconus.
Methods: Patients older than 18 years with advanced keratoconus having central corneal thickness (CCT) greater than 350 µm and visual acuity of 20/40 or better with contact lens, but intolerant to contact lenses, were included. A femtosecond laser-assisted stromal pocket was created at a depth of 140 µm.

Backgrounds: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal disorders. Flatfoot and weakness of the hip and core muscles have been introduced as distal and proximal factors associated with this syndrome, respectively. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a combination of a proximal strengthening exercise (PSE) program and a foot orthosis (PSEFO) on pain and function in women with PFPS and a pronated foot (PF).
