Article Abstract

Purpose: To compare visual performance and photic visual disturbances of patients implanted with 2 different extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs) using mini-monovision.

Setting: Ambulatory surgical center at the University of São Paulo in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.

Design: Prospective, examiner-masked, randomized clinical trial.

Methods: Patients were assigned to either a bilateral Symfony (SYM) or Vivity (VIV) IOL group, with 1 eye targeted for myopia (-0.75 diopter [D]). Defocus curve, contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson), Patient-Reported Spectacle Independence Questionnaire, and Quality of Vision questionnaire were recorded at 3 months postoperatively.

Results: A total of 126 patients finished the follow-up: group SYM: n = 60 and group VIV: n = 66. Regarding near visual acuity, 80% of patients in the SYM group and 84% of patients in the VIV group achieved J2 or better on the near-planned eye ( P = .3840). No significant differences were found between groups for distance visual acuity, defocus profiles, PRISC, contrast sensitivity, or reading speed ( P > .05). Notably, significant between-group differences were observed for bothersome visual disturbances ( P = .0235), with 45% of patients in the SYM group with a score of 0 for bothersome disturbances compared with 66% in the VIV group.

Conclusions: Mini-monovision using these EDOF IOLs was well-tolerated in the patient cohort. No significant differences were found for visual performance tests between the VIV and SYM groups. However, the data suggest that Vivity IOL is associated with a lower probability of bothersome visual disturbances compared with Symfony IOL.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.

Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Alpha oscillations have been implicated in the maintenance of working memory representations. Notably, when memorised content is spatially lateralised, the power of posterior alpha activity exhibits corresponding lateralisation during the retention interval, consistent with the retinotopic organisation of the visual cortex. Beyond power, alpha frequency has also been linked to memory performan ce, with faster alpha rhythms associated with enhanced retention.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patient-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) behave differently than normal ones, creating a more protective environment for leukemia cells, making relapse harder to prevent. This study aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers and elucidate relevant biological pathways in AML by leveraging microarray data and advanced bioinformatics techniques. We retrieved the GSE122917 dataset from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus and performed differential expression analysis (DEA) within R Studio to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among healthy donors, newly diagnosed AML patients, and relapsed AML patients.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.

Purpose: The study aimed to assess the interconnection of quality of life (QoL) variables and identify key areas for which interventions could improve QoL among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Jinan of Shandong Province, between October to December 2020. Undirected network analyses were conducted to examine and visualize the interconnections between QoL variables among MSM living with HIV.
