The terminology "vitreous cortex remnants" (VCR) indicates the outermost lamellae of vitreous cortex that remains attached to the retinal surface as a consequence of vitreoschisis. The relevance of VCR removal in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is unknown. We conducted a review from January 1, 2000, to July 30, 2023, examining 1493 eyes. Outcome measures included: prevalence of VCR, relationship between VCR and detachment recurrence due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and relationship between VCR and epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation. A meta-analysis was performed with data reported as odds ratios (OR) or mean difference and 95 % confidence intervals. Prevalence of macular and peripheral VCR was 53.4 and 46.8, respectively, with an overall VCR prevalence of 50.8 (95 % CI 42.6, 59.1) Given the scarcity of available data, meta-analysis regarding the relationship between peripheral VCR and redetachment due to PVR was not feasible. The odds of developing ERM were not statistically different between eyes that had had macular VCR removal vs. eyes that had not (log OR -0.08 [95 % CI -1.06, 0.89 p= 0.89]. Additional prospective studies are required to verify whether removal of VCR may reduce the odds of recurrence of RRD due to PVR and the development of ERM.

Background: Maternal dietary intervention utilizing complex additives rich in β-carotene has demonstrated the capacity to enhance embryonic intestinal development and influence microbial composition in offspring. Nevertheless, the extended impact of maternal β-carotene inclusion on the intestinal health of post-hatching chicks is still not fully elucidated.
Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the impacts of maternal β-carotene supplementation on the intestinal development and microbial communities in chicks after hatching.

Background And Objectives: Non-invasive pre-procedural prediction of post-PCI vessel morphology and CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) can inform coronary revascularisation planning. However, the capabilities of different CT-based virtual coronary revascularisation (VCR) techniques need further investigation.
Methods: This study compared two CT-based VCR techniques: a virtual coronary intervention (VCI) method and a radius correction (RC) method.

In this study, nanofibrous scaffolds composed of Polycaprolactone/Collagen (PCL/COL) infused with FeO/Lanthanum/SiO nanocomposite were developed. FeO and La-doped FeO nanoparticles were synthesized using a straightforward co-precipitation method. Silica extracted from Ulmus leaves via green synthesis was used to coat the FeO-La nanocomposite.

We aimed to assess the 5-year survival probability of childhood cancer in Iran, utilizing data from eight population-based cancer registries across the country. The study employed data from 1809 childhood cancer patients aged 0-14 years, diagnosed between 2014 and 2016. Patients underwent active and passive follow-up procedures, and cases with uncertain vital status were excluded.

The effect of fertilizers application based on "fertilizing the soil versus fertilizing the crop" which ensure real balance between the applied and available soil nutrient is urgently needed. Hence, the present study was conducted during two consecutive crop seasons (Kharif 2022 and Kharif 2023) to assess the effect of imbalanced and balanced fertilization based on initial soil test values and targeted yields, and to determine the effect of different approaches of nutrient recommendation on soil quality, nutrient acquisition, and yield of green gram. The eight fertilizer treatments were laid out in a randomized block design with three replications.
