Article Abstract

Poor control of intermittent exotropia may be used as an indication for surgery. However, control fluctuates during the day and from day to day. The standardized triple office control score (mean of three scores on a 6-point ordinal scale) is representative of repeated assessments throughout the day, but lacks validation against an objective measure of eye movements. We report the agreement between the triple office control score measured by the referring eyecare professional and lab-measured vergence instability using an EyeLink video eye tracker. Near and distance triple office control scores were moderately correlated with vergence instability. Near, but not distance, triple office control score was moderately correlated with the percentage of time intermittent exotropia was manifest during EyeLink recording. Larger triple office control scores for intermittent exotropia provide a meaningful description of larger vergence instability, supporting its use in clinical decisions and as a measure in clinical trials.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic performance of a nomogram integrating clinical parameters with deep learning radiomics (DLRN) features derived from ultrasound and multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting survival, recurrence, and metastasis in patients diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included 103 patients with histopathologically confirmed TNBC across four institutions. The training group comprised 72 cases from the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang, while the validation group included 31 cases from three external centers.

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy for patients with previously untreated locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.

Methods: A Markov model was developed to track patients' transitions over 3-week cycles and evaluate the health and economic outcomes over a 10-year horizon for the two competing treatments. The survival data were gathered from the KEYNOTE-355 trial, and cost and utility values were obtained from the published studies.

Free phenol and cresol isomers in human samples have drawn interest, particularly in the field of forensic toxicology. In this study, a simultaneous analytical method for the detection of unchanged phenol and three structural isomers of cresol in human blood was developed using GC-MS/MS. This method was applied to authentic human heart and peripheral vein blood samples obtained from a fatal intoxication case involving accidental exposure to liquified phenol containing cresol isomers.

Aims: Hypertension and obesity frequently coexist and synergistically increase cardiovascular (CV) risk. Incretin-based therapies with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/GLP1-RAs, and glucagon/GIP/GLP-1RAs lead to substantial weight loss. However, their antihypertensive efficacy and safety profile have not been comprehensively quantified.

Background: Novel single-pill combinations with blood pressure (BP)-lowering agents are needed to increase treatment options for hypertension.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of a novel single-pill (candesartan cilexetil, amlodipine, and chlorthalidone) compared with an active control (valsartan, amlodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide) for uncontrolled hypertension.

Methods: OPTION TREAT was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, noninferiority trial conducted across 19 sites in Brazil.
