The authors analyze the value of automated static perimetry for the early diagnosis of glaucoma. A total of 232 patients were examined, in 74 of them with primary open-angle glaucoma belonging to two age groups a reliable reduction was revealed of the mean retinal light sensitivity (p < 0.0001 vs. control and in suspected glaucoma in subgroups 1 and 2 p < 0.0001 and p < 0.01, respectively). Diffuse and local depression of light sensitivity in the central visual field was found in glaucoma patients and subjects with the condition suspected. Kinetic perimetry revealed narrowing of the peripheral borders of the visual field in 20% of glaucoma patients.

The Comic Research Abstract: Graphic Medicine as Interdisciplinary Health Research (Example: Intergenerational Storytelling).
J Med Humanit
January 2025
Department of Health & Society, University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), Toronto, ON, M1C1A4, Canada.
This article explores the rise of comics-based research (CBR) as an innovative method for disseminating and translating academic findings to broader audiences. Rooted in the established use of comics in technical communication, CBR takes the unique strengths of graphic media-accessibility, multimodal engagement, and visual storytelling-to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, particularly in health-related disciplines. A recent development in this field is the comic research abstract, a concise, visually enriched alternative to traditional textual abstracts.

Eye Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Purpose: To observe the changes in the axial length (AL) in patients of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) undergoing vitrectomy and investigate the correlated factors.
Methods: Retrospective case series. Patients diagnosed as ARN undergoing vitrectomy with silicone oil (SO) tamponade, and with attached retina more than one year after silicone oil removal (SOR) were included.
Explainable Deep Learning for Glaucomatous Visual Field Prediction: Artifact Correction Enhances Transformer Models.
Transl Vis Sci Technol
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning approach that restores artifact-laden optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans and predicts functional loss on the 24-2 Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) test.
Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study used 1674 visual field (VF)-OCT pairs from 951 eyes for training and 429 pairs from 345 eyes for testing. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness map artifacts were corrected using a generative diffusion model.
Bibliometric analysis of metformin as an immunomodulator (2013-2024).
Front Immunol
January 2025
School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, Changsha, China.
Background: Metformin, the frontline treatment for diabetes, has considerable potential as an immunomodulator; however, detailed bibliometric analyses on this subject are limited.
Methods: This study extracted 640 relevant articles from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection and conducted visual analyses using Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace.
Results: The findings showed that research on the immunomodulatory function of metformin has grown steadily since 2017, with China and the United States being the leading contributors.
