: Ocular proprioception is implicated in balance control and heterophoria is associated with abnormal posture, though previous research focused mainly on the role of vertical phoria and the use of vertical prisms. This study aims to evaluate whether ocular misalignment and prismatic correction of horizontal phoria affect posture. : Sixty-nine ( = 69) young healthy subjects were included and equally divided by horizontal distance phoria: orthophoria ( = 23), esophoria ( = 23) and exophoria ( = 23).

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a group of hematologic neoplasms accompanied by dysplasia of bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic cells with cytopenia. Recently, digitalized pathology and pathomics using computerized feature analysis have been actively researched for classifying and predicting prognosis in various tumors of hematopoietic tissues. This study analyzed the pathomic features of hematopoietic cells in BM aspiration smears of patients with MDS according to each hematopoietic cell lineage and dysplasia.

Background: There is currently no consensus on the role, method or frequency of surveillance following curative treatment of oesophageal cancer; re-investigation largely relying on symptom triggers which may delay detection of recurrence and impact survival. We hypothesised that intensive surveillance with endoscopy and imaging was more likely to detect recurrent or new cancer at a curable stage and this study examined the outcomes of this surveillance policy.
Patients And Methods: A prospective database of curatively treated oesophageal carcinoma patients was interrogated for patients with new or recurrent disease detected on surveillance and amenable to salvage surgery.

Background: Angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is commonly observed in patients with stable angina undergoing coronary angiography. Current guidelines recommend non-invasive stress testing as the first step in diagnosing coronary microvascular disease (CMD). This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of non-invasive stress testing in patients invasively diagnosed with CMD.
