Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding floaters among patients with floaters.

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled participants diagnosed with floaters between April 2023 and October 2023 in Weifang, China. Demographic information and KAP regarding floaters were collected via web-based questionnaires.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare ocular biometric measurements using SS-OCT and Scheimpflug tomography in cataract patients before surgery.
  • A total of 212 eyes were analyzed, measuring various parameters like corneal thickness and keratometry with different devices, assessing their reliability and correlation.
  • Results showed significant differences in most measurements among devices, indicating that results from IOLMaster700, CASIA2, and Pentacam are not interchangeable.

Introduction: Qi-Fu-Yin has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) in China. Oxidative stress has been recognized as a factor in AD progress. To date, there is no quality control method to ensure batch-to-batch consistency of Qi-Fu-Yin, and the potential antioxidant compounds in Qi-Fu-Yin remain uncertain.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare corneal curvature measurements from two SS-OCT devices (Scheimpflug and ray tracing aberrometer) in cataract patients, focusing on differences in posterior corneal, total corneal, and true net power values among devices IOLMaster 700, CASIA2, and Pentacam.
  • Involving 200 patients with an average age of about 66, the research utilized various statistical tests and measurements to assess the similarities and differences in the devices.
  • The results indicated no significant differences between IOLMaster 700 and Pentacam for keratometry values, but notable variations and low correlations in posterior and total corneal measurements were observed, suggesting these devices shouldn't be used interchangeably.

Purpose: Norrie disease (ND) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characteristic of early childhood blindness. While several mutations in the NDP gene have been reported as causative for ND, the genetic etiology remains unknown for many patients. This study aims to describe a novel mutation and explore the clinical manifestations in a Chinese family with two affected males.
