Article Abstract
Background: To investigate the accommodative loads change needed to maintain binocular fusion in patients with intermittent exotropia (IXT).
Methods: Seventeen consecutive patients with basic IXT and 15 normal controls were recruited. The WAM-5500 autorefractor (GrandSeiko, Fukuyama, Japan) was used to measure refractive error (D) under binocular and monocular viewing conditions at 6 m, 50 cm, 33 cm and 20 cm. The difference between binocular and monocular refractive error (D) at each distance defined the change in the accommodative load. The changes in accommodative load were compared between IXT patients and normal controls. We also investigated the change in accommodative loads according to the fixing preference in patients with IXT.
Results: In IXT patients, the mean angles of deviation were 20.2 ± 7.19 and 21.0 ± 8.02 prism diopters at 6 m and 33 cm, respectively. Under binocular viewing, the changes in accommodative loads of each eye in IXT patients were significantly higher at 50, 33 and 20 cm than those of normal controls (p < 0.05, all). The changes in accommodative loads of fixating and deviating eyes at 6 m were not significantly different between IXT patients and normal controls (p = 0.193, 0.155, respectively). The changes in accommodative loads of the fixating eye at each distance were not significantly different from those of the deviating eye in IXT patients (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The changes of accommodative loads at near fixation increased more in IXT patients than they did in normal controls while maintaining binocular fusion.

Ensuring the fidelity and security level of stored information is essential for information carrier materials to safeguard data and prevent counterfeiting. However, low resolution, limited encryption modes, and complex fabrication hinder existing information carriers from meeting evolving technological demands. Herein, a solvent exchange strategy from DMSO to water is employed to stably anchor hydrophobic fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with multiple emission states onto a 3D framework of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) chains, forming a simple two-component CDs/PVA hydrogel with tunable fluorescent colors and recyclability.

Background: Growing concern surrounds the risk of neurodegenerative diseases in high-level collision sports, but research on Rugby Union's connection to these diseases is limited.
Objective: This study sought to examine the long-term neurodegenerative disease risk associated with participation in high-level Rugby Union ('rugby'), utilising whole-population administrative records.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study in New Zealand compared males born between 1920 and 1984 who were active in high-level (provincial or higher) rugby between 1950 and 2000 (n = 12,861) with males from the general population (n = 2,394,300), matched by age, ethnicity, and birthplace.

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction are an energetic bottleneck for green hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The reaction proceeds over a surface that undergoes (frustrated) phase transitions to accommodate bias-dependent excess charge. Here we perform Arrhenius analysis of common catalysts and correlate the activation energy and pre-exponential factor with the oxide's structural adaptation via operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy and high-energy X-ray diffraction.

Achieving high energy density and long-term cycling stability in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries under practical conditions, namely high sulfur loading (≥ 5 mg cm) and lean electrolyte content (E/S ratio < 5 µL mg), remains a formidable challenge due to severe volume expansion, interfacial instability, and polysulfide shuttling. Herein, a rationally designed 3D cross-linked polyether binder (PTPO) is reported, synthesized via cationic copolymerization of glycerol triglycidyl ether (TEP) and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL). This multifunctional binder integrates high mechanical flexibility, superior interfacial adhesion, and strong chemical affinity toward lithium polysulfides through its abundant ether linkages and epoxy groups.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensors are widely used for cancer marker detection due to their high selectivity, but their reuse is limited by the need for electrode reconditioning after each assay, hindering large-scale application. In our work, a novel quasi-solid-state ECL immunosensor is designed. A gel-cast cellulose membrane is used as our sensor platform, providing a new location for biomolecular-specific identification.
