Purpose: None of the authors has any financial/conflicting interests to disclose.The aim of this study was to report a surgical technique of cyclopexy, wherein two laps of encircling continuous sutures are placed around the limbus to treat refractory extensive cyclodialysis.
Methods: This study employed swept-source optical coherence tomography for anterior segment, color fundus photography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for the macula.
Results: Previous attempts, including indirect cyclopexy and direct external cyclopexy with gas injection, failed to successfully resolve the severe cyclodialysis and associated hypotonic maculopathy. In the third surgery, two laps of encircling continuous sutures were placed around the limbus at the distances of 2-3 mm and 3-4 mm, respectively, along with phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and capsular tension ring placement. After surgery, hypotony and hypotonic maculopathy were effectively resolved, resulting in a significant improvement in VA that has been maintained over a year.
Conclusion: The described surgical technique of encircling continuous sutures may be a viable option for the treatment of severe cyclodialysis.

Background: The Pediatric Life Support Consensus on Science With Treatment Recommendations states that chest compressions (CC) be performed with the 2-thumb-encircling and if the chest can not be encircled the 2-finger-technique.
Aim: To compare the hemodynamic effects of four different compression methods during CC in a piglet model of infant asphyxia.
Methods: Nine asphyxiated infant piglets were randomized to CC with 2-thumb-encircling, 2-thumb-, 2-finger-, and one-hand-techniques for one minute at each technique.

Introduction: Moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects a large segment of the US population and is characterized by repetitive and reversible obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Untreated OSA is associated with increased incidence of heart attack, stroke, and motor vehicle accidents due to sleepiness. Continuous positive airway pressure is often prescribed, but most patients with OSA are nonadherent.

The peripheral nervous system of the octopus is among the most complex of any animal. In each arm, hundreds of serial ganglia form a central core of nervous tissue processing sensory input, issuing motor commands, and exchanging information with the central brain. In addition to the central cord, there are two other types of neural elements: fine intramuscular nerve cords (INCs) and small sucker ganglia at the base of each sucker.

Survival motor neuron protein (SMN), which is linked to spinal muscular atrophy, is a key component of the Gemin complex, which is essential for the assembly of small nuclear RNA-protein complexes (snRNPs). After initial snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm, both snRNPs and SMN migrate to the nucleus and associate with Cajal bodies, where final snRNP maturation occurs. It is assumed that SMN must be free from the Cajal bodies for continuous snRNP biogenesis.
