Purpose: To report the initial experience of a modified intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation technique using 6/0 prolene in a double-flanged sutureless technique with a 27-gauge needle.
Methods: Twenty-nine consecutive patients with IOL surgery were retrospectively reviewed between December 2021 and October 2023. Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters, spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatism axial degree, and intraocular pressure were evaluated at baseline and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Surgery-related complications were evaluated during follow-up.
Results: Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters or SE at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postoperation was significantly improved compared with baseline levels. Patients with younger (estimate [SE] = 8.011 [2.485], P = 0.006), preoperative lens drop (estimate [SE] = 8.621 [2.906], P = 0.009), idiopathic cataract (estimate [SE] = 6.021 [2.099], P = 0.048), high baseline Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters (estimate [SE] = 15.449 [2.352], P < 0.001), or low baseline SE (estimate [SE] = 6.357 [2.406], P = 0.018) had the greatest improvement in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters during follow-up. Patients with preoperative lens or IOL dislocation had a greater postoperative SE improvement than those with preoperative lens or IOL subluxation (dislocation vs. subluxation: estimate [SE] = -189.235 [70.692], P = 0.016). There were no cases of vitreous hemorrhage, cystoid macular edema, endophthalmitis, subluxation, or dislocation were observed during the 6-month follow-up.
Conclusion: This modified IOL scleral fixation technique is a simple, safe, and efficient method that avoids haptic manipulation and slippage, reduces postoperative complications, achieves completely sutureless surgery, and results in an achievement of surgical refractive goals.

Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a pressing global ecological and environmental challenge. Our study is dedicated to exploring the various factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and predicting their future trends. To this end, we have analyzed data from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region spanning from 1978 to 2022, aiming to estimate the carbon emissions associated with animal husbandry in the region.

Background: Predictive equations often inaccurately estimate energy needs in critically ill patients. This study evaluated the level of agreement between resting energy expenditure using 12 and 25 kcal/kg as recommended by the 2021 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition critical care guidelines for nutrition support and energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry in patients in the intensive care unit.
Methods: An agreement study was conducted on mechanically ventilated adults who had a documented measured energy expenditure within 10 days of intensive care unit admission.
Early-pregnancy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and maternal post-pregnancy weight trajectory.

Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate associations of early-pregnancy plasma per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with maternal post-pregnancy weight trajectory parameters.
Methods: We studied 1106 Project Viva participants with measures of early-pregnancy plasma concentrations of eight PFAS. We measured weight at in-person visits at 6 months and 3, 7, and 12 years after pregnancy and collected self-reported weight via annual questionnaires up to 17 years after pregnancy.
A review in analytical progress for house dust mite allergens.

House dust mite (HDM) allergens are one of the most important causes of allergenic diseases in the indoor environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined risk thresholds for Group I HDM allergens as a concentration of 2 and 10 μg/mL in dust for producing asthma risk and polar asthma attacks, respectively. Continuing exposure to high concentrations of HDM allergens greatly increases the risk of developing allergic diseases.

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the 10-year clinical benefits and economic value of weight loss in a Swedish population with obesity using a value of weight-loss simulation model.
Methods: Data on the prevalence of and costs associated with obesity and obesity-related complications (ORCs) were applied within an adapted simulation model to evaluate weight-loss benefits for a 2023 Swedish population over 10 years. The 10-year incidence of 10 ORCs and treatment costs in a random cohort of 10,000 individuals were estimated for a stable weight scenario and four weight-loss (5%-20%) scenarios.
