Absence of an anemic, cystic bleb site, as well as reduced fluorescein fluorescence in this area after transcleral fistulizing surgery, infer failure. One method to create or augment bleb formation in suitable eyes is with the use of eccentric suction. This method creates localized ocular message, mobilizes conjunctiva and episclera, and provides a quantitative measure of bleb function.

In human adults, visual perception varies throughout the visual field. Performance decreases with eccentricity and varies around polar angle. At isoeccentric locations, performance is typically higher along the horizontal than vertical meridian (horizontal-vertical asymmetry [HVA]) and along the lower than the upper vertical meridian (vertical meridian asymmetry [VMA]).

Purpose: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is associated with altered tendon's morphological and mechanical properties, yet it is unclear whether these properties are reversed upon mechanical loading to promote tendon healing. This study aims to determine the extent to which pathological tendon's morphological and mechanical properties adapt throughout a 12-week eccentric rehabilitation protocol.
Methods: Forty participants with midportion AT were recruited and participated in a 12-week eccentric rehabilitation program.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fixation stability deficits in anisometropic amblyopia and various visual functions, as well as the underlying retinal structure.
Methods: All 164 patients with anisometropic amblyopia were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) was measured using the qCSF method, whereas the MP-3 microperimeter was used to assess fixation stability and locate the preferred retinal locus.

Background: Consuming collagen hydrolysate (CH) may improve symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD); however, its acute effects have not been compared to dairy protein (DP), the most commonly consumed form of protein supplement. Therefore, this study compared the effects of CH and DP on recovery from EIMD.
Methods: Thirty-three males consumed either CH ( = 11) or DP ( = 11), containing 25 g of protein, or an isoenergetic placebo ( = 11) immediately post-exercise and once daily for three days.

Connections between the mechanical properties of DNA and biological functions have been speculative due to the lack of methods to measure or predict DNA mechanics at scale. Recently, a proxy for DNA mechanics, cyclizability, was measured by loop-seq and enabled genome-scale investigation of DNA mechanics. Here, we use this dataset to build a computational model predicting bias-corrected intrinsic cyclizability, with near-perfect accuracy, solely based on DNA sequence.
