Purpose: This study aims to validate the usefulness of T10-pelvic angle (T10PA) in predicting pelvic tilt (PT) restoration, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) development, and clinical outcomes after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 213 ASD patients who underwent fusion from the lower thoracic spine (T9 or T10) to the pelvis. T10PA was measured on 6-week postoperative radiographs as the angle between the center of T10 and the hip center, and from the hip center to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate.

Even small deviations in modulation timing (DMT) can cause discrepancies between the originally set modulation period (P) and the actual P in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) analysis. This study explored the impact of DMT on the accuracy of the second dimensional retention time (t) and the second dimensional retention index (I) calculations and introduced a line detection technology (LDT) based on the Hough Transform to correct DMT-induced t shifts. The correction was achieved by automatically adjusting candidate P values until the slope of the line(s) (CB_line(s)) formed by column bleeding compound peaks in the isothermal section of the contour plot approached zero, thereby determining the actual P.

Topic: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate best-corrected visual acuity (VA) outcomes following transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in patients with refractory glaucoma.
Clinical Relevance: TSCPC is typically reserved for cases of refractory glaucoma, due to apprehension of negative affects on VA. Prior studies have reported the VA outcomes from TSCPC, but no comprehensive review of the literature has yet been conducted.

The QT interval is a key indicator in assessing arrhythmia risk, evaluating drug safety, and supporting clinical diagnosis in cardiology. The QT interval is significantly influenced by heart rate so it must be accurately corrected to ensure reliable clinical interpretation. Conventional correction formulas, such as Bazett's formula, are widely utilized but often criticized for inaccuracies, either under- or overcorrecting QT intervals in different physiological conditions.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is a contraindication to correction of tricuspid regurgitation.
Case Summary: A 75-year-old Italian woman with previous episodes of right heart failure was diagnosed with World Health Organization (WHO) functional class IV pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) complicated by torrential tricuspid regurgitation. After 6 months of treatment with diuretic agents, macitentan, and tadalafil, she improved to WHO functional class III, with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) decreasing from 5.
