Background: Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Non-contrast MR angiography (MRA) using time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) may offer potential advantages over 3D time-of-flight (TOF)-MRA for simultaneous visualization of carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries, but remains uninvestigated.

Purpose: To determine optimal black blood inversion time (TI) for visualizing the carotid and subclavian arteries using three-dimensional (3D) fast field echo (FFE) Time-SLIP MRA, and to compare its image quality with 3D TOF-MRA.

Aufbau Suppressed Coupled Cluster As a Post-Linear-Response Method.

J Chem Theory Comput

September 2025

Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, United States.

We investigate the ability of Aufbau suppressed coupled cluster theory to act as a post-linear-response correction to widely used linear response methods for electronically excited states. We find that the theory is highly resilient to shortcomings in the underlying linear response method, with final results from less accurate starting points nearly as good as those from the best starting points. This pattern is especially stark in charge transfer states, where the approach converts starting points with multi-eV errors into post-linear-response results with errors on the order of 0.

Purpose: To study the efficacy and safety of pro re nata regimen of brolucizumab, without loading dose, in treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Case Series: Retrospective, observational study. We included all consecutive patients diagnosed with treatment- naïve nAMD undergoing Brolucizumab in Humanitas eye clinic, Turin, Italy between April 2022 and May 2023.

Purpose: To evaluate the time required for refractive error (RE) stabilization after standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery and identify preoperative factors influencing this duration.

Methods: This prospective case series study enrolled patients who had undergone phacoemulsification cataract surgery. RE stabilization was defined as 0.

Incision capsular bag herniation during subluxated lens surgery: mechanisms, management, and prevention.

Front Med (Lausanne)

August 2025

Eye Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism, intraoperative characteristics, management, and prevention of incision capsular bag herniation (ICBH), a previously unreported complication during cataract surgery in eyes with lens subluxation.

Methods: A retrospective observational case series was conducted on five male patients who developed ICBH during phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation between January 2019 and December 2024. Among 867 subluxated-lens surgeries performed during this period, the estimated incidence of ICBH was 0.
