Purpose: To investigate and compare the morphological features and differences among Gaussian, Sagittal, and Tangential anterior corneal curvature maps obtained with an anterior segment optical coherence tomographer combined with a Placido disc MS-39 device in keratoconus (KC) and normal eyes.
Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional study including 37 KC and 51 healthy eyes. The pattern of astigmatism and maximum keratometry (Kmax), keratometry at the thinnest point (Ktp) and 2 mm diameter (K 2mm ), and inferior-superior dioptric asymmetry values were obtained and calculated from Gaussian, Tangential, and Sagittal curvature maps using the MS-39 (CSO).
Results: In KC eyes, an asymmetric bowtie pattern was observed in 64.86% (24/37), 64.86% (24/37), and 0% in the Sagittal, Tangential, and Gaussian maps, respectively. In normal eyes, 51.0% (26/51), 51.0% (26/51), and 0% showed a symmetric bowtie pattern in the Sagittal, Tangential, and Gaussian maps, respectively. There was a significant difference for the variables Kmax, Ktp, and K 2mm inferior among the Gaussian, Tangential, and Sagittal maps in both normal and KC groups. Sensitivity discriminating between normal and KC eyes was 100%, 97.3%, and 90.9% and specificity was 94.1%, 100%, and 100% for Kmax coming from the Tangential, Gaussian, and Sagittal maps, respectively.
Conclusions: Gaussian maps displayed significantly different morphological features when compared with Sagittal and Tangential maps in normal and KC eyes. Anterior curvature maps from Gaussian maps do not show the morphological pattern of symmetric bowtie in normal eyes nor asymmetric bowtie in KC eyes. Kmax from Gaussian maps are more specific, however less sensitive than Tangential maps in discriminating KC from normal eyes.

Introduction The facial nerve displays a lot of variations and anomalies in its course. Having sound knowledge about the surgical anatomy along with its intricacies is essential in mastoid surgeries. In this study, we have documented the angle of deviation of the mastoid segment of the facial nerve during its intratemporal course and the importance of this angle during mastoid surgeries.

Background: To compare the efficiency of three artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks (Standard Machine Learning (ML), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Convolution Neural Networks (CNN)) with a reference method (Mean radius of curvature (K)) to predict the posterior radius of curvature of the best-fitted rigid contact lens (RCBFL) in keratoconus eyes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 197 keratoconus eyes of 135 patients fitted with Rose K2® (Menicon®, Nagoya, Japan) rigid contact lenses with one or more topographies available (MS39®, CSO®, Ferrara, Italy) between January 2020 and September 2022. Two types of topographic data (indices and reconstructed maps from raw data) were used for AI analysis.

Trochanteric fractures are common in the elderly population, and their incidence increases twice every decade after age 50. Intramural fixation has achieved good clinical efficacy in the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures, but there have been complications reported in the literature in the Asian population. Most complications arise from a mismatch between the increase in the anterior femoral bow with advancing age and the proximal femoral nails (PFN) on the market, which still have straight designs on the sagittal plane.
