AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the impact of cataract surgery and IOL implantation on eye development in 16 children, examining various visual metrics before and after the procedure.
- Many operated eyes showed a tendency toward myopia, with some cases reaching up to -11.00 diopters, though the increase in axial length was similar for both operated and unoperated eyes.
- It was suggested that the myopic trend in operated eyes may be due to the increased proportion of the vitreous body behind the intraocular lens as the axial length of the eye grows.
Article Abstract
We studied the effect of cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (14 unilateral and 2 bilateral cases) on eye growth in 16 children. Visual acuity, refractive power, axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth in both the operated and unoperated eyes were measured before and after surgery. The operated eyes tended to become myopic (maximum, -11.00 diopters). However, though the axial length of two eyes increased significantly after surgery, there was no significant difference between the postoperative increase in axial length in the operated and in the unoperated eyes. The anterior chambers of the unoperated eyes tended to be deeper. We suggest that the tendency to become myopic in the operated eyes occurred because, as axial length increases with growth, the proportion occupied by the vitreous body, ie, the part posterior to the IOL, also increases.

Genetic influence on choroidal vascularity index.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: To investigate the heritability of genetic influence on macular choroidal vascularity index (CVI).
Methods: Total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), and CVI was measured using horizontal scan of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging in the 373 healthy twin participants. Characteristics of the participants were investigated, including age, sex, axial length, hypertension, diabetes, drinking habits, and smoking status.
Knee kinematics during gait in patients with discoid lateral meniscus: a systematic review.
Minerva Pediatr (Torino)
January 2025
Transalpine Center of Pediatric Sports Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Monza, Monza-Brianza, Italy.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and healthy knees in terms of gait analysis.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review was conducted from the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus. The review was performed on studies that reported data on kinematics, gait analysis, biomechanics in discoid lateral meniscus, before and after surgery.
Evaluation of the Femoral Condyle Radius of Curvature at the Chondral Surface Shows Significant Correlation With the Anterior-Posterior Length.
Cartilage
January 2025
Department of Radiology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Background: Accurate donor-recipient matching of the femoral condyle radius of curvature (ROC) in osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation may aid in minimizing articular surface incongruities. Matching linear femorotibial dimensions, such as the femoral condyle anterior-posterior length (APL), femoral condyle width (lateral-medial length, LML), femoral hemicondyle width (HCW), and tibial plateau width (TPW), can provide similar results if they correlate well with ROC. This study investigates the relationship between femorotibial dimensions and ROC at the cartilage surface using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Purpose: To assess the effect of anterior chamber depth on corneal endothelium using specular microscopy following uneventful phacoemulsification among cataract patients with different axial lengths.
Methods: The study was conducted in a quasi-experimental design including 300 eyes of 300 patients with grade three age-related nuclear cataract distributed equally based on their axial length into three equal groups. All eyes had grade three nuclear cataract.
