This appraisal of state-of-the-art manuscript highlights and expands upon the thoughts conveyed in the lecture of Dr. Jean-Pierre Valentin, recipient of the 2021 Distinguished Service Award of the Safety Pharmacology Society, given on the 2nd December 2021. The article reflects on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that surrounded the evolution of safety and secondary pharmacology over the last 3 decades with a particular emphasis on pharmaceutical drug development delivery, scientific and technological innovation, complexities of regulatory framework and people leadership and development. The article further built on learnings from past experiences to tackle constantly emerging issues and evolving landscape whilst being cognizant of the challenges facing these disciplines in the broader drug development and societal context.

Purpose: In this study, it was planned to compare the macular ganglion cell analysis (GCA) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) of the patients with preperimetric glaucoma (PPG), early stage glaucoma (EG) and the control group.
Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 103 eyes: 38 from EG patients, 30 from PPG patients, and 35 from healthy individuals at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Glaucoma Unit between January 2018 and September 2021. Eyes were categorized into control, PPG, and EG groups based on visual field (VF) classification.

The objective identification of depression using physiological data has emerged as a significant research focus within the field of psychiatry. The advancement of wearable physiological measurement devices has opened new avenues for the identification of individuals with depression in everyday-life contexts. Compared to other objective measurement methods, wearables offer the potential for continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, which can capture subtle physiological changes indicative of depressive states.

Machine learning is used to analyze images by training algorithms on data to recognize patterns and identify objects, with applications in various fields, such as medicine, security, and automation. Meanwhile, histological cross-sections, whether longitudinal or transverse, expose layers of tissues or tissue mimetics, which provide crucial information for microscopic analysis. : This study aimed to employ the Google platform "Teachable Machine" to apply artificial intelligence (AI) in the interpretation of histological cross-section images of hydrogel filaments.
