Objectives: This study reports demographic characteristics of scleral lens providers and indications for scleral lens prescription as assessed by a worldwide online survey.
Methods: The Scleral Lenses in Current Ophthalmic Practice: an Evaluation (SCOPE) study group designed the online survey regarding current scleral lens prescription and management practices. The Mayo Clinic Survey Research Center administered the survey, which was open from January 15 to March 31, 2015.

Objectives: To assess current scleral lens prescription and management practices by conducting an international online survey of eye care providers.
Methods: The SCOPE (Scleral Lenses in Current Ophthalmic Practice: an Evaluation) study group designed and administered an online survey regarding current scleral lens prescription and management practices. The survey was open from January 15 to March 31, 2015, and generated 723 responses from individuals who had fit at least 5 patients with scleral lenses.

Fasting glucose and insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals and in 16,491 T2D cases and 81,877 controls. We identify a novel association of a low-frequency nonsynonymous SNV in GLP1R (A316T; rs10305492; MAF=1.

Centre of Physics (CFUM) (M.L., M.E.C.D.R.O., M.F.M.C.), University of Minho, Braga, Portugal; and Department of Physics (J.B.V-D.), University of Vigo, Pontevedra, Spain.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of different lens care systems in surface roughness and refractive index (RI) of contact lenses (CL). This information provides us with a better understanding of how care solutions affect CL materials.
Methods: Several CL and three commercially available and appropriate lens care solutions were used (two polyhexamethylene biguanide and one hydrogen peroxide care systems).

Article Synopsis
- Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are effective for treating PTSD, but their neurobiological impacts and predictive capabilities for treatment outcomes are not well understood.
- A systematic review of 23 publications from 16 randomized controlled trials showed that TF-CBT resulted in decreased heart rate and blood pressure, with some changes in brain activity related to symptom improvement, while EMDR did not show significant differences in neurobiological effects compared to other treatments.
- Although TF-CBT may influence brain regions involved in fear responses and cognitive functions, evidence suggests that these changes could be generic effects of therapy rather than specific to TF-CBT; more rigorous

Health Care Division, Hospital Vozandes, H.C.J.B., Quito, Ecuador, South America.
This study is concerned with the relationship between palpable onchocercal nodules and Onchocerca volvulus microfilarial loads in the skin. The number of microfilariae in clinically normal skin decreases as the distance from the nodule increases. Surgical removal of nodules reduces the microfilarial loads in 40 of 46 patients studied over a period of five months, with an average reduction of 65.
