The BCVA improved to 0.5 ± 0.1 log MAR at 6 months (P < 0.001) and then stabilized. The U shaped closure was the commonest pattern (n = 22, 54%), followed by V-shaped closure (n = 16, 39%) while irregular closure was seen in 3 eyes (7%).

Retinal massage after ILM peeling is a very simple, and as yet under-utilized manoeuvre that may…[Read more]

On the basis of model surgery and animal experiments, preliminary experiments were carried out clinically. Based on the early results of 6 patients, the robot-assisted approach appears to be a safe and effective strategy for genioplasty.Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is known for its aggressiveness associated with poor prognosis.

Core decompression is the most common procedure for early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study investigated outcomes of core decompression with/without bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), based on the…[Read more]

001) and strain (42.2% vs 5.6%, p<0.001) compared with those with minor/no LARS. Among those who were working preoperatively (n=100), the majority of participants with major LARS reported an impact of their new bowel function on their ability to work (70.6%), including delayed return to work (44.1%), the need to change schedules (35.3%) or roles…[Read more]

The present investigation is directed to determine if a natural/botanical addition, from Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) cactus, increases durability for cement-based materials exposed to CO2-laden environments (urban and industrial). The use of this botanical addition in cement-based material applications has shown good performance when these…[Read more]

The artifact intersection with basal and lateral segments was none or negligible (up to 2%). The portion of left ventricular (LV) myocardium affected by the artifact was significantly higher in systole (8 ± 4%) compared to diastole (10 ± 3%; p < .001).

In the management of growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenomas, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has been the gold standard not only for diagnoses but also for the determination of biochemical remission. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is an essential biomarker, although it should be adjusted for both age and sex.
