A new study found that an artificial intelligence reading label system improves ophthalmologists' diagnostic accuracy for retinal diseases and could be valuable in future medical education.

Researchers introduce a multistage dual-branch network to improve accuracy and efficiency.

Below a specific threshold, FCP exerts a protective effect, but above that threshold the protective effect becomes uncertain.

Good safety profile and “meaningful improvement” in vision in Leber congenital amaurosis patient.

Although it improved interdisciplinary communication, ongoing review and safety monitoring are necessary for successful clinical implementation.

A study found that children with early-onset atopic dermatitis have a higher risk of developing uveitis and should be closely monitored for its onset.

Tertiary syphilis, which can develop years to decades after the initial infection, is characterized by chronic inflammatory damage affecting multiple organ systems.

Researchers from the Czech Republic found that an AI system showed higher sensitivity and specificity for screening diabetic retinopathy compared to telemedicine evaluations.

The ZAP-X system is described by researchers as a "dedicated, self-contained, and self-shielded surgical robot" designed for performing stereotactic surgery (SRS) on the brain, head, and neck. This technology was utilized to treat a patient with uveal melanoma.

A study on the effects of methylphenidate in children with ADHD found that treated children had lower corneal endothelial cell counts compared to untreated children and a control group.

Ocular signs may be early indicators of multiple myeloma or relapse, and early recognition and collaboration between hematologists and ophthalmologists can improve outcomes.

Researchers assessed the costs to patients and caregivers in Germany, Bulgaria and the US

This large study sought to determine if daily supplementation with cocoa extract, a source of flavanols, reduces the occurrence or progression of AMD.

The authors examined vascular and neural structures in the eye, assessing the foveal avascular zone and choroidal thickness

One intravitreal injection of the dexamethasone implant in patients with refractory DME induced significant anatomic and functional improvements, but these improvements only lasted for short periods of up to 4 months.

A retrospective study showed that the gender of the ophthalmologist influenced the amount of communication with the patient, and that the pandemic had an impact.

Investigators advised clinicians of the potential for dystrophies that mimic age-related macular degeneration and other atrophic macular pathologies to be incorrectly diagnosed, which can impact treatment.

The investigators retrospectively evaluated 126 consecutive treatment-naïve nAMD patients (126 eyes) who received a loading dose of a minimum of three monthly intravitreal aflibercept injections that was followed by a TAE.

Systemic evaluation key to the cause of the detachments

Yu reviewed the benefits and limitations of various electrophysiologic technologies in a diverse group of inflammatory conditions affecting the retina and optic nerve.

Additionally, the prognosis of macular edema may help clinicians evaluate renal function, investigators reported

A total of 43 patients who recovered from the SARS-CoV-2 infection with mild pneumonia were included along with 45 healthy individuals.

Visual acuity with both approaches was comparable and the device was efficacious and safe.

Risk factors vary in both short-term and long-term periods following Boston Type 1 keratoprosthesis surgery.
