Aim: Exploring the lived experience of women concerned about following a healthy and sustainable diet: subjectivity, ideas, descriptive concepts, and constitutive strategies.
Method: Based on the epistemological paradigm of phenomenology, the theoretical perspective of symbolic interactionism, and the methodological perspective of phenomenological reduction, a qualitative discourse analysis was performed through different strategies (thematic content analysis and interpretive phenomenological analysis, applying techniques).
Findings: The phenomenological field of healthy eating intermittently unfolds in both experience and discourse, akin to a process of expansion and contraction, in the narrative "Expanding the Consciousness of Healthy Eating".

In this paper we report a human ex vivo model of Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans infection of the cornea. We demonstrate the ability to monitor fungal growth on the cornea through optical and immunofluorescence microscopy. Additionally, we establish a method for collection of fungal antigens in polyethersulfone (PES) membrane-based sample collectors from the surface of fungal inoculated corneas.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of different surgical methods in congenital preauricular fistula surgery.
Methods: 60 patients with congenital preauricular fistula were selected and randomly divided into a microscope group of 30 cases and a macroscopic group of 30 cases. The microscope team used the fistula separation method to perform surgery along with the fistula opening.

Purpose: Describe aims, methods, characteristics of donors, donor corneas and recipients, and potential impact of the Diabetes Endothelial Keratoplasty Study (DEKS).
Methods: The DEKS is a randomized, clinical trial to assess graft success and endothelial cell density (ECD) 1 year after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using corneas from donors with versus without diabetes in a 1:2 minimization assignment. Diabetes severity in the donor is assessed by medical history, postmortem HbA1c, and donor skin advanced glycation end-products and oxidation markers.
