Myopia, short-sightedness, is the most frequent cause of vision difficulty and its prevalence is expected to rise. Nowadays, the usage of atropine drops is effective for myopia progression control. Studies on the Asian population showed that atropine 0.01% is more efficient and safer than solutions that have a higher concentration. In this study, we report findings from a multicenter Spanish study that showed that atropine 0.01% decreases the progression of myopia in a pediatric population, with relatively few adverse effects. The results of this study may be relevant to doctors who treat children who have myopia, as well as to the children treated and their parents.

Introduction: Cancer has emerged as one of the leading causes of fatality all over the world. Phytoconstituents are being studied for their synergistic effects, which include disease prevention by altering molecular pathways and immunomodulation without side effects. The present experiment aims to explore the cancer preventive activities of Linn leaves extract in skin cancer cell lines (A431) and colon cancer cell lines (COLO 320DM)).

Article Synopsis
- Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe facial pain, and percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) is a common treatment, though it can provoke trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR), resulting in heart complications.
- This study compares the effects of remimazolam and propofol anesthesia on the occurrence of TCR during PBC in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
- Results showed that remimazolam significantly reduced the incidence of TCR and severe TCR compared to propofol, while also maintaining a higher heart rate, with no increase in adverse events.

Background: On optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of the optic nerve head, peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are sometimes seen as a sign of axonal distension. The phenomenon has been reported more frequently in myopic subjects. We investigated PHOMS-prevalence in a myopic pediatric cohort, associated risk factors, and PHOMS development over 18 months during low-dose atropine treatment.
