Rotational Stability and Subjective Results of Tecnis Eyhance Toric II Intraocular Lens.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate rotational stability and patient-reported outcomes associated with Tecnis Eyhance toric II "monofocal plus" intraocular lens (IOL), particularly in light of a modified haptic design.

Methods: A prospective, interventional study was conducted with patients undergoing routine cataract surgery and Tecnis Eyhance toric II IOL implantation. The inclusion criteria were topographic corneal astigmatism of 0.

Breast Cancer Local Recurrence in Patients With and Without Post-Mastectomy Immediate Breast Reconstruction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Despite rising rates of post-mastectomy immediate breast reconstruction (IBR), there are fears of local recurrence (LR) among patients and physicians. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare long-term LR incidence in patients with mastectomy and IBR (Mast + IBR) to patients with mastectomy alone (Mast - IBR). Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant articles.

The Value of the Nurse Navigator in Complex Cancer Care: A Scoping Review.

: Many Canadians experience challenges navigating the healthcare system during their cancer care. Nurse navigators are uniquely positioned to support patients with their clinical expertise in oncology and patient care, but they have not been widely implemented. This study aimed to examine the impact of nurse navigators and barriers to successful implementation of a nurse navigator program.

ETDRS-style distance visual acuity charts for Indigenous Canadians: development and validation using Canadian Aboriginal syllabics.

Objective: To develop and validate a logMAR Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-style visual acuity chart imprinted with Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS) optotypes.

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, within-subject analysis.

Participants: 22 Indigenous patients from the Ullivik residence (Montreal, QC) for Inuit patients who were able to interpret Latin and CAS characteristics.

Retinitis Pigmentosa: Novel Therapeutic Targets and Drug Development.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of hereditary diseases characterized by progressive degeneration of retinal photoreceptors leading to progressive visual decline. It is the most common type of inherited retinal dystrophy and has a high burden on both patients and society. This condition causes gradual loss of vision, with its typical manifestations including nyctalopia, concentric visual field loss, and ultimately bilateral central vision loss.

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Drops for Evaporative Dry Eye Disease from Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) drops for evaporative dry eye (EDE) disease from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Methods: This is a retrospective, consecutive case series of 20 eyes of 10 patients with EDE from MGD treated with PRP drops from November 2020 to November 2021 at a single outpatient clinic in Ontario, Canada. PRP drops were prepared from whole blood using a two-step centrifugation method.

Safety and Efficacy of BroadBand Intense Pulsed Light Therapy for Dry Eye Disease with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

Background: BroadBand light intense pulsed light (BBL-IPL) therapy has shown to reduce hordeolum and blepharitis frequency. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BBL-IPL therapy in patients with dry eye disease (DED) from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Methods: This is a retrospective, consecutive case series of 48 patients with DED from MGD who underwent BBL-IPL therapy from October 2016 to January 2019 at a single, outpatient clinic in Ontario, Canada.
