Purpose: The purpose of this brief review is to analyze the outcomes of customized photorefractive keratectomy in the correction of refractive errors and irregular astigmatism after corneal graft surgery.
Methods: Two reviewers (M.S.K. and J.L.A.) independently performed a literature search in the MEDLINE/PubMed database, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate from January 2001 to October 2023. To analyze the efficacy, safety, and predictability of the procedure, primary outcomes such as mean change in uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, and root mean square value (RMS) of higher order aberrations were studied. The complications and adverse reactions were analyzed to predict the safety of this procedure.
Results: We identified those studies where customized (topography guided/wavefront guided) photograph refractive keratectomy was performed in patients with postkeratoplasty. Significant change in uncorrected distance visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, RMS of higher order aberrations, refractive cylinder, and mean spherical equivalent were observed. Corneal haze was the most common complication documented; however, this was more commonly documented by authors who have not used Mitomycin C in their patients.
Conclusions: We found out that customized photograph refractive keratectomy is a safe, effective, and predictable method of treatment for refractive error and irregular astigmatism after keratoplasty.

Impaired visual attention and numerical processing in children with anisometropic amblyopia and after visual acuity recovery.

Amblyopia affects more than visual acuity. To compare the performances of visual selective attention and numerical processing in children with anisometropic amblyopia and children with normal vision, and investigate whether performance would be improved after visual acuity recovery, we performed 3 visual attention tasks (identifying number location task, numerical comparison task, and specific number comparison task) in children with anisometropic amblyopia, children who had recovered from anisometropic amblyopia, and children with normal vision in 6-8 and 9-11 years groups. The numerical processing ability, visual selective attention, and numerical distance effect were assessed by their reaction time of different tasks.

Purpose: This study compares the functional outcomes of correction using two different types of aberrational extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Material And Methods: The study was conducted in two standardized groups (20 patients, 20 eyes in each group). Patients in group 1 were implanted EDOF IOL I, in group 2 - EDOF IOL II.
CLARE-XR: explainable regression-based classification of chest radiographs with label embeddings.
Sci Rep

Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering Technology and Science (INESC-TEC), Porto, 4200-465, Portugal.
An automatic system for pathology classification in chest X-ray scans needs more than predictive performance, since providing explanations is deemed essential for fostering end-user trust, improving decision-making, and regulatory compliance. CLARE-XR is a novel methodology that, when presented with an X-ray image, identifies the associated pathologies and provides explanations based on the presentation of similar cases. The diagnosis is achieved using a regression model that maps an image into a 2D latent space containing the reference coordinates of all findings.

Novel and simple spectrophotometric and distance based procedures for thiols (L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, and glutathione) determination in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals have been proposed based on their inhibitory action on the oxidation of catechol in the presence of Agaricus bisporus crude extract (ABE). The influence of L-glycine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-methionine, L-cystine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and bilirubin on the thiol determination has been investigated. Uric acid, bilirubin, L-cystine (oxidized thiol), and L-amino acids do not interfere with the determination.

Background: In clinical practices, doctors usually need to synthesize several single-modality medical images for diagnosis, which is a time-consuming and costly process. With this background, multimodal medical image fusion (MMIF) techniques have emerged to synthesize medical images of different modalities, providing a comprehensive and objective interpretation of the lesion.
Purpose: Although existing MMIF approaches have shown promising results, they often overlook the importance of multiscale feature diversity and attention interaction, which are essential for superior visual outcomes.
