AI Article Synopsis
- An inherited eye disease has been identified in Slate turkeys, causing secondary angle closure glaucoma.
- The disease starts with low-grade aqueous cell and flare reactions, leading to complications like pupillary block and iris bombé.
- Female turkeys show more severe symptoms, and significantly elevated intraocular pressure occurs only after complete iris bombé develops.
Article Abstract
An inherited eye disease leading to a secondary angle closure glaucoma has been observed in turkeys (Meleagris gallapavo) of the Slate variety. The initial indications of the disease involve a low grade aqueous cell and flare reaction, associated with progressive posterior synechiae formation resulting in pupillary block and iris bombé. A midperipheral iridocorneal adhesion follows, accompanied by corneal edema, breaks in Descemet's membrane, and buphthalmos. IOP is not elevated substantially until a complete iris bombé occurs. Expression of the defect is sex-influenced, with females exhibiting the most severe pathological changes.

Evaluation of Retentive Force and Long-Term Performance of 4 Mol% Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia (4Y-PSZ) Double Crowns.

December 2024
Department of Prosthodontics, Graduate School of Dentistry, Showa University, Tokyo, JPN.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of taper angle and the number of insertion-removal cycles on the retention force of 4 mol% yttria partially stabilized zirconia (4Y-PSZ) double crowns over time.
Materials And Methods: Primary and secondary crowns were fabricated using 4Y-PSZ with taper angles of 2°, 4°, and 6° (n=15). Retention force during crown removal was measured after applying 50-N and 100-N loads.
Visually significant ocular decompression retinopathy following laser peripheral iridotomy in a patient with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Department of Ophthalmology, Ross Eye Institute, University at Buffalo, 1176 Main Street, Buffalo, NY, 14209, United States.
Purpose: We report a single case of ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR) following neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser peripheral iridotomy (Nd:YAG LPI) for primary acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with delayed visual recovery secondary to optic nerve head edema and macular thickening.
Observations: A 56-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma. After topical and IV therapy did not improve intraocular pressure (IOP), an Nd:YAG LPI was performed.
Limb Axis Disorder During Leg Length Discrepancy Treatment with Temporary Epiphysiodesis Using Eight-Plate Implants.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Paediatric Orthopaedics, Medical University of Lublin, 20-059 Lublin, Poland.
: A common problem in pediatric orthopedics is leg length discrepancy (LLD). In adulthood, this may result in overload and degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, hip, and knee joints of the longer limb, and the fixed equinus position of the foot of the shorter limb. Surgical treatment using temporary epiphysiodesis with eight-plate implants is a minimally invasive, safe, and patient-tolerated procedure in LLD.

: Supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs) are the most common pediatric elbow injuries and often require surgical intervention. Despite guidelines, optimal timing for surgical management, particularly for cases without neurovascular compromise, remains unclear. This study evaluates the influence of surgical timing on short-term outcomes, focusing on fracture reduction quality and surgical parameters.

Background And Objectives: the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity of understanding the factors influencing susceptibility and disease severity, as well as a better recovery of functional status, especially in postcritical patients. evidence regarding the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in reducing the severity of COVID-19 is still insufficient due to the lack of primary robust trial-based data and heterogeneous study designs. the principal aims of our study were to determine the impact of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency on complications during intensive care unit (icu) stay, as well as its role in muscle mass and strength improvement as well as morphofunctional recovery during a multispecialty 6-month follow-up program based on adapted nutritional support and specific physical rehabilitation.
