Prcis: The screening program using imo strongly correlates with 10-2 standard automated perimetry in detecting central visual field defects in early glaucoma, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for efficient screening and severity quantification.
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between abnormalities within the central 10 degrees of the screening program using imo, a portable head-mounted perimeter, and 10-2 standard automated perimetry in early-stage glaucoma with central visual field defects.
Methods: This retrospective study included early glaucoma with (26 eyes) and without (38 eyes) central visual field defects. The correlation between the numbers of abnormal points within the central 10 degrees of the imo screening program and those in the probability plot of 10-2, and mean total deviation and pattern deviation, were analyzed.
Results: The imo screening program demonstrated sensitivity (80%) and specificity (98.7%) in detecting abnormalities, with a 91.6% agreement rate of 10-2. The mean number of anomalies in the 10-2 plot (pattern deviation) with P <1% was 0.85, 7.75, and 9.69 (95% CI: 0.18-1.51, 5.38-10.1, and 6.89-12.5, respectively) for no, 1, and 2 anomalies in the imo screening program, respectively. The number of anomalies with P <1% was significantly higher when the imo screening program detected 1 anomaly versus none ( P <0.01) and 2 versus 1 ( P <0.05). Mean total deviation values were -1.15, -7.5, and -15.2 (95% CI: -2.32 to 0.03, -11.21 to -3.78, and -19.7 to -10.6, respectively), while mean pattern deviation values were -1.57, -9.0, and -16.0 (95% CI: -2.57 to -0.57, -12.5 to -5.49, and -21.4 to -10.7, respectively), for no, 1, and 2 anomalies in the imo screening program, respectively.
Conclusions: The imo portable head-mounted perimeter was found to correlate with 10-2 standard automated perimetry in glaucoma patients with central visual field defects and has the potential to shorten visual field testing times.

Purpose This study evaluated the efficacy of oral melatonin therapy for visual acuity and retinal and choroidal structures in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methods Fourteen patients with CSCR were included; eight received oral melatonin (3 mg nightly), and six formed the control group. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), central choroidal thickness (CCT), and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were assessed at baseline and after one month.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, particularly among the elderly population. Two forms of late AMD are described: neovascular AMD (nAMD), characterized by abnormal choroidal blood vessel growth, and atrophic (dry) AMD, involving retinal cell degeneration. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents have transformed nAMD treatment, with Brolucizumab emerging as a promising therapy.

Objectives: To systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis of studies on peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) for fibromyalgia (FM) treatment.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINHAL, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases were searched from inception to July 2023 for studies in adult patients with FM treated with PMS. Studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation were excluded.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationships between kinesiophobia and injury severity, balance ability, knee pain intensity, self-efficacy, and functional status in patients with meniscus injuries and to identify key predictors of kinesiophobia.
Design: A single-center, prospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 123 patients diagnosed with meniscus injuries at Fujian Provincial Hospital was conducted.

Background: Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a highly effective procedure for corneal endothelial dysfunction; however, once a DMEK graft is deployed, repositioning can be challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a technique that utilizes infusion and small air bubbles to reposition a misaligned deployed graft.
Methods: This retrospective interventional case series enrolled patients who underwent DMEK between January 2022 and July 2023, including cases where the DMEK graft was attached and unfolded in off-center positions".
