Background And Objectives: While reductions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) pRNFL and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses have been shown to be associated with brain atrophy in adult-onset MS (AOMS) cohorts, the relationship between OCT and brain MRI measures is less established in pediatric-onset MS (POMS). Our aim was to examine the associations of OCT measures with volumetric MRI in a cohort of patients with POMS to determine whether OCT measures reflect CNS neurodegeneration in this patient population, as is seen in AOMS cohorts.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with retrospective ascertainment of patients with POMS evaluated at a single center with expertise in POMS and neuro-ophthalmology.

Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide, traditionally viewed as a disease of aging. However, emerging evidence highlights its increasing prevalence among middle-aged adults (40-59 years), a population critical to socioeconomic stability. This study is designed to assess the burden of OA among middle-aged adults.

Background: Accurate acetabular cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for successful outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to evaluate acetabular cup placement. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of purely visual estimation of cup inclination and anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy, considering different surgeon experience levels and cup designs.

Objectives: To provide insights into the financial burden and opportunity cost of vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in the US by using net present value (NPV) of direct medical and nonmedical costs.

Methods: Assumptions, including economic (discount rate, median income, cost-of-living, Social Security and Medicare taxes, public insurance/supplemental benefits, nutrition assistance, and prescription drug assistance), medical (federal National Health Expenditure tables, a recent retrospective claims analysis, and Optum Health claims database) and demographic (mortality rate, increase in mortality due to visual impairment, progression of blindness, probability of survival, retirement rate, rate of disability, and RP diagnosis probability) were made to develop a NPV model. Scenario analyses were performed on benefits and costs arising from patients with RP, if vision could be preserved via novel gene therapies.

Hamilton Glaucoma Center, Shiley Eye Institute, Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, United States.

Precis: Artificial intelligence applied to OCTA images demonstrated high accuracy in estimating 24-2 visual field maps by leveraging information from pararpapillary area.

Purpose: To develop deep learning (DL) models estimating 24-2 visual field (VF) maps from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) optic nerve head (ONH) en face images.

Methods: A total of 3148 VF OCTA pairs were collected from 994 participants (1684 eyes).
