Eye bank pre-stripped versus surgeon-stripped graft for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

To summarize the evidence examining the outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using eye bank pre-stripped versus surgeon prepared grafts. Systematic review and meta-analysis. This study was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses consensus statement (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023457120).

The utility of artificial intelligence in ophthalmic clinical trials.

Purpose Of Review: The current article provides an overview of the utility of artificial intelligence approaches to aid in the design, recruitment, execution, and dissemination of ophthalmic clinical trials.

Recent Findings: Within the last decade, artificial intelligence has heralded a new age for ophthalmology, with novel applications habitually appearing within the literature. Though clinical trials are considered the gold standard for driving evidence-based practice, remarkably few studies have examined the potential for machine learning to augment the clinical trial pipeline.

Poroelastic modeling of magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia: Effects of infusion-induced tissue deformation on drug distribution and thermal damage.

This study presents a comprehensive poroelastic modeling approach to investigate the effects of infusion-induced tissue deformation on drug distribution and thermal damage during magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia treatment. A three-dimensional computational model of a breast tumor nodule was developed, which incorporated interstitial fluid flow, nanoparticle transport, and heat transfer. The model accounted for the elastic deformation of the soft tissue caused by the infusion pressure at the needle tip.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dental Program Evaluations: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review.

Objective: Over the last 20 years, the disparity in oral health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and other Australians has continued to grow. This suggests that further programmes and programme improvements are needed to reach equitable oral health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This mixed methods systematic review aims to assess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dental Programme Evaluations by measuring outcomes and cultural safety via the Lowitja Institute Evaluation Framework to Improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health.

Genetic Variants and Alteration in Transcription Factor 7-Like 2 (TCF7L2) mRNA Level in Ischemic Stroke Patients Among Bengali and Gujarati Population from India.

Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia are major risk factors for stroke across the world population. TCF7L2, a key regulator of the WNT signaling pathway shows genetic association with these metabolic disorders in ethnicity dependant manner. However, its role in stroke pathogenesis (if any) is not well characterized.
