Impact of neuro-optometric rehabilitation on adult oculomotor challenges - A systematic review.

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation has a broad range of potential rehabilitative applications in neurological and developmental conditions affecting the eye. There is a dearth of evidence supporting its effectiveness, especially in adults. To address this issue, we systematically reviewed literature published in English between January 2000 and June 2022, obtained from search engines such as PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL, using keywords including "neuro optometry," "rehabilitation" or a related term, and "oculomotor problem" or "neurological problem" or a related term.

Retrospective, Observational, Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Goel's Technique of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Endometrial Carcinoma.

Background Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a substitute for the abdominal hysterectomy technique for endometrial carcinoma. Goel's technique is a unique laparoscopic hysterectomy. The main feature of Goel's technique is that vaginal manipulators or myoma screws are not used in the procedure as vaginal manipulators or myoma screws contribute to an increased risk of spread of malignancy in the systemic circulation.

Biallelic EPB41L3 variants underlie a developmental disorder with seizures and myelination defects.

Erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 like 3 (EPB41L3: NM_012307.5), also known as DAL1, encodes the ubiquitously expressed, neuronally enriched 4.

ISCCM Position Statement for Improving Gender Balance in Critical Care Medicine.

Unlabelled: Gender disparity in Critical Care Medicine (CCM) persists globally, with women being underrepresented. Female Intensivists remain a minority, facing challenges in academic and leadership positions at the workplace and within academic societies. The Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) recognized the need for addressing issues related to gender parity and constituted its first Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee in 2023.

A Real-World Observational Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Fluticasone Furoate-Oxymetazoline Fixed Dose Combination Nasal Spray in Patients with Allergic Rhinitis.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) has shown an increasing prevalence leading to a considerable medical and social burden. Nasal congestion is the cardinal symptom of AR, and the upper respiratory tract is most affected by this long-lasting ailment. Intranasal corticosteroids alleviate nasal congestion, along with other symptoms of AR, but their effect is not evident immediately.

Treatment outcomes in patients with Ewing sarcoma of the spine in a resource-challenged setting: 17-year experience from a single center in India.

Ewing sarcoma (ES) of the spine is a rare childhood cancer with sparse literature on treatment outcomes. We aimed to describe survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with spinal ES treated at a single institute in a resource-challenged setting. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with spinal ES registered at a tertiary care oncology center between 2003-2019.

An unusual case of sarcoidosis presenting as calf pain.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disease predominantly affecting the lungs. Myositis as a presenting manifestation of sarcoidosis is extremely uncommon and seldom reported. Here we report a 20-year-old male who presented with bilateral calf pain for six months.

Del Nido cardioplegia versus blood cardioplegia in coronary artery bypass grafting.

Purpose: The del Nido cardioplegia (DC) has been extensively used in congenital heart surgery for over two decades and is becoming popular in adult cardiac surgery. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of DC, compared to conventional blood cardioplegia (BC), in adult patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: This metachronous study included a total of 2330 consecutive patients who underwent isolated CABG.

Nomenclature of Extracorporeal Blood Purification Therapies for Acute Indications: The Nomenclature Standardization Conference.

The development of new extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) techniques has led to increased application in clinical practice but also inconsistencies in nomenclature and misunderstanding. In November 2022, an international consensus conference was held to establish consensus on the terminology of EBP therapies. It was agreed to define EBP therapies as techniques that use an extracorporeal circuit to remove and/or modulate circulating substances to achieve physiological homeostasis, including support of the function of specific organs and/or detoxification.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Drug-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Cases.

Introduction: Drug-induced acute kidney injury (DI-AKI) is a frequent adverse event. The identification of DI-AKI is challenged by competing etiologies, clinical heterogeneity among patients, and a lack of accurate diagnostic tools. Our research aims to describe the clinical characteristics and predictive variables of DI-AKI.

Five-year outcomes of off and on-pump CABG: Insights from PROMOTE Patency Trial.

Background: There are limited studies reporting follow-up outcome data comparing of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) with on-pump (ONCAB) technique. The aim of the study was to report the 5-year clinical outcomes of OPCAB and ONCAB in a post hoc analysis of the PROMOTE patency trial.

Methods: From March 2016 through March 2017, a total of 321 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were randomised to either the off-pump or the on-pump technique.

Management of proximal tibial stress fracture associated with advanced knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review.

Purpose: Tibial stress fracture associated with knee osteoarthritis is an unusual and difficult clinical scenario. There is no clear existing treatment guideline for this uncommon clinical disease. The aim of this study is to review the impact of various treatment options for patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis associated with proximal tibial stress fracture.

Medial tibial bone resorption following total knee arthroplasty comparing a traditional with a kinematic design.

Background: New total knee prostheses are being designed to improve clinical outcome, survivorship and patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A new knee system was developed with improvements in patellofemoral joint, trochlear geometry, polyethylene formulation and tibial baseplate. Aim of this study was to compare the newer kinematic knee system with its existing predecessor knee system in terms of clinical outcome, revision rates, radiographic outcomes specifically medial tibial bone resorption.

Oncocytic sialolipoma of parotid gland: Case report and literature review.

Neoplastic lipomatous lesions of the salivary glands constitute ≤0.5% of all the salivary gland tumors. Oncocytic sialolipoma of the parotid glands is extremely uncommon.

Further validation of craniosynostosis as a part of phenotypic spectrum of BCL11B-related BAFopathy.

Heterozygous disease-causing variants in BCL11B are the basis of a rare neurodevelopmental syndrome with craniofacial and immunological involvement. Isolated craniosynostosis, without systemic or immunological findings, has been reported in one of the 17 individuals reported with this disorder till date. We report three additional individuals harboring de novo heterozygous frameshift variants, all lying in the exon 4 of BCL11B.
