Relative Ellipsoid Zone Reflectivity in Macular Telangiectasia Type 2.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
July 2023
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
Purpose: The relative ellipsoid zone reflectivity (rEZR) has been proposed as an innovative biomarker for photoreceptor integrity. This study evaluates the rEZR in macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) eyes of different disease stages.
Methods: The mean rEZR (ratio ellipsoid zone [EZ]/external limiting membrane [ELM] reflectivity [arbitrary units {AUs}], grey level range = 0-1) was analyzed for an entire spectral domain optical coherence tomography volume scan (global) and for each subfield of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid (topographic) in patients with MacTel and controls.
Vestibular loss disrupts visual reactivity in the alpha EEG rhythm.

The alpha rhythm is a dominant electroencephalographic oscillation relevant to sensory-motor and cognitive function. Alpha oscillations are reactive, being for example enhanced by eye closure, and suppressed following eye opening. The determinants of inter-individual variability in reactivity in the alpha rhythm (e.

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for nurses, leading to increased workloads, emotional strain, and ethical dilemmas during the first wave.
- A study involving 18 nurses from eight European countries collected narratives of their experiences throughout May-June 2020, analyzed through thematic analysis.
- The findings revealed three main themes: opportunities for professional growth, care management strategies, and the emotional and ethical challenges faced by nurses during the crisis.

Raman spectroscopy for medical diagnostics--From in-vitro biofluid assays to in-vivo cancer detection.

Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique based on inelastic scattering of light by vibrating molecules and can provide chemical fingerprints of cells, tissues or biofluids. The high chemical specificity, minimal or lack of sample preparation and the ability to use advanced optical technologies in the visible or near-infrared spectral range (lasers, microscopes, fibre-optics) have recently led to an increase in medical diagnostic applications of Raman spectroscopy. The key hypothesis underpinning this field is that molecular changes in cells, tissues or biofluids, that are either the cause or the effect of diseases, can be detected and quantified by Raman spectroscopy.

Gloucestershire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Department of Critical Care, Cheltenham General Hospital, Gloucester,, UK.
Aim: To examine the feelings, support and feedback available to health care assistants (HCA) when caring for acutely ill ward patients.
Background: The role of the HCA continues to evolve with increased responsibility for patient care. Contextual issues that affect their contribution to acute care management of the ward patient have been given limited attention.
