Design: Prospective, interventional study.

Current and potential treatment of colorectal cancer metastasis to bone.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) with subsequent bone metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis compared with patients who do not develop bone metastasis. However, metastasis in bone is rare, contrasted with more common locations such as the liver and lungs. As a result, the treatment methods targeting CRC bone lesions are limited.

Performance of IOL calculation formulas that use measured posterior corneal power in eyes following myopic laser vision correction.

Purpose: To compare the predictive accuracy of the biometer-embedded Barrett True-K TK and new total corneal power methods of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyes with prior laser vision correction (LVC) for myopia.

Setting: Academic clinical practice.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Circulating Tumor DNA in Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Future Clinical Applications and Perspectives.

Gastric cancer (GC) is still one of the most aggressive cancers with a few targetable alterations and a dismal prognosis. A liquid biopsy allows for identifying and analyzing the DNA released from tumor cells into the bloodstream. Compared to tissue-based biopsy, liquid biopsy is less invasive, requires fewer samples, and can be repeated over time in order to longitudinally monitor tumor burden and molecular changes.

Symptoms and Satisfaction Levels Associated with Intraocular Lens Implants in the Monofocal and Premium IOL Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Study.

Purpose: To develop a questionnaire with standardized questions and images about visual symptoms and satisfaction administered before and after cataract surgery with monofocal and various (premium) intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Design: A prospective, observational study of cataract surgery patients completing a self-administered questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively at 4 to 6 months.

Participants: Five hundred fifty-four patients with plans to undergo implantation of the same IOL in both eyes on separate occasions in 20 ophthalmology practices.

Development of a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure to Assess Symptoms Associated with Cataract Surgery and Intraocular Lens Implants.

Purpose: To develop a standardized patient-reported outcome measure of visual perceptions and symptoms for implanted premium and monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Design: Observational study before and after IOL implants to assess the measure and symptom experience.

Participants: Adults scheduled for binocular implantation of the same IOL type completed the survey at baseline prior to surgery (n = 716) and postoperatively (n = 554).

Accuracy of IOL Power Calculation Formulas for AcrySof SN60WF versus Tecnis ZCB00 Intraocular Lenses.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of various intraocular lens power formulas for two monofocal hydrophobic foldable lenses, the AcrySof SN60WF and the Tecnis ZCB00.

Methods: This retrospective study included 409 eyes from 409 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery (299 eyes with SN60WF and 110 eyes with ZCB00). Biometry was performed for all eyes with an IOLMaster 700.

Inclusivity in Leader Selection: An 8-Step Process to Promote Representation of Women and Racial/Ethnic Minorities in Leadership.

At a systemic level, organizations need to take intentional steps to build inclusion, equity, and diversity at all levels. In accordance with this need, organizations have been catalyzed by national conversations surrounding gender and racial/ethnic discrimination to generate sustainable change that addresses the disenfranchisement of women and racial/ethnic minorities. Although progress toward addressing the systemic issues that perpetuate these inequities has been made in recent years, research indicates that underrepresentation at the leadership level persists in academic medicine.

Astigmatism analysis and reporting of surgically induced astigmatism and prediction error.

Purpose: To provide a method for determining the vector that, when added to the preoperative astigmatism, results in no prediction error (PE) and to specify statistical methods for evaluating astigmatism and determining the 95% confidence convex polygon.

Setting: Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, and University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California.

Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Use of P1-P4 Purkinje reflections as a surrogate sign for intraoperative patient fixation.

Circumferential, even anterior capsular overlap maximizes intraocular lens stability and posterior capsular opacification mitigation and provides best long-term outcomes for the cataract patient. P1 and P4 Purkinje reflections at patient fixation may provide a reliable marker for capsulotomy centration. However, patient fixation may be hindered during surgery because of anesthesia or light sensitivity.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the Hill-RBF 3 formula, with and without direct measurements of total corneal power, using a heteroscedastic statistical method for analysis.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

Design: Retrospective, consecutive case series.

Accuracy of theoretical IOL formulas for Panoptix intraocular lens according to axial length.

The accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculations is suboptimal for long or short eyes, which results in a low visual quality after multifocal IOL implantation. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of IOL formulas (Barrett Universal II, SRK/T, Holladay 1, Hoffer Q, and Haigis) for the Acrysof IQ Panoptix TFNT IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc, Fort Worth, Texas, United States) implantation based on the axial length (AXL) from a large cohort of 2018 cases and identify the factors that are associated with a high mean absolute error (MAE). The Barrett Universal II showed the lowest MAE in the normal AXL group (0.

Core conditions of team effectiveness: Development of a survey measuring Hackman's framework.

Leaders and team development practitioners working toward increasing interprofessional team effectiveness frequently need to quickly and accurately determine the extent to which a team possesses the most essential and foundational components required for effective teamwork. While there is no shortage of team theories, there are few freely available, practical, short, and well-developed surveys to measure team functioning across a variety of team types. We developed a 9-item team assessment to fill this gap in the literature, measuring the most fundamental criteria for optimising team functioning, based on Hackman's widely used framework of the foundational conditions for team effectiveness.
