Purpose: To evaluate the two-year outcomes of combined surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI), goniosynechialysis (GSL), and goniotomy (GT) for advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) without cataract.
Design: Multicenter prospective study.
Methods: The study included patients who received a combined SPI + GSL + GT for advanced PACG without cataract, all completed a 24-month follow-up. Outcome measures included changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), use of anti-glaucoma medications, surgical success, and postoperative complications over the 24-month period.
Results: A total of 63 eyes from 51 patients with advanced PACG were included in the study. Among these, 37 eyes (58.7 %) achieved complete success, and 55 eyes (87.3 %) achieved qualified success. The mean IOPs at baseline and after 24 months were 28.8 ± 7.51 mm Hg and 15.8 ± 4.40 mm Hg, respectively (P < 0.001). The average number of anti-glaucoma medications decreased from 1.9 ± 1.4-0.8 ± 1.2 over the 24-month period (P < 0.001). The overall BCVA was stable during the follow-up period (P = 0.225). The primary complications observed included IOP spike (n = 9), hyphema (n = 7), and shallow anterior chamber (n = 3), all of which occurred within the first month postoperatively. Regression analysis showed that older age was positively associated with both complete success [odds ratio (OR) = 1.05; P = 0.030] and qualified success (OR = 1.08; P = 0.024).
Conclusions: SPI + GSL + GT demonstrated safety and effectiveness in treating advanced PACG without cataract over the 24-month study period. This combined surgical approach should be considered a viable alternative to trabeculectomy for these patients.

Background: Many prognostic factors associated with healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair have been evaluated. It has been shown from previous literature that osteoporosis is an independent risk factor for poor healing and increased need for revision surgery. To our knowledge, there has not been a study reporting patient reported outcomes (PROs) for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients with osteoporosis.

Introduction: Palmoplantar Keratoderma (PPK) is a heterogeneous group of hereditary and acquired cornification disorders defined by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, often resulting in significant discomfort and reduced quality of life. The clinical features include well defined yellowish hyperkeratotic plaques on palm and soles. Treatment typically relies on topical keratolytic agents, including salicylic acid, lactic acid, urea and in more severe cases, systemic therapy with oral retinoids may be required.

Prcis: Patients with clinically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma submitted to isolated gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy or combined with phacoemulsification not only achieved low mean IOPs, but also demonstrated stable IOP patterns during a 24-month follow-up.
Purpose: To assess the impact of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) on long term intraocular pressure (IOP) variation.
Patients And Methods: An unicentric retrospective study including 169 consecutive patients who had undergone standalone GATT or combined with phacoemulsification (PHACOGATT) due to clinically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma, with at least 12 months of follow-up was conducted.

Background: Quality indicators for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been implemented in Queensland, Australia, to assess performance across 28 elements relating to diagnosis, access, treatment, and outcomes.
Methods: Linked data were sourced from the population-based Queensland Oncology Repository. Eligible people were diagnosed with NSCLC between 2012 and 2021, with follow-up on treatment and mortality available to 31 December 2022.

Background: This is a semidouble-blind randomized controlled trial comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of fixation of displaced 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures with an intramedullary nail versus a locking plate.
Methods: Seventy-nine patients aged 45 to 81 years (mean 66.5 years) were randomized to open reduction and osteosynthesis with either locking nails or plates.
