Article Abstract

This literature review explores the emerging role of digital twin (DT) technology in ophthalmology, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize personalized medicine. DTs integrate diverse data sources, including genetic, environmental, and real-time patient data, to create dynamic, predictive models that enhance risk assessment, surgical planning, and postoperative care. The review highlights vital case studies demonstrating the application of DTs in improving the early detection and management of diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. While implementing DTs presents challenges, including data integration and privacy concerns, the potential benefits, such as improved patient outcomes and cost savings, position DTs as a valuable tool in the future of ophthalmic care. The review underscores the need for further research to address these challenges and fully realize the potential of DTs in clinical practice.

Assessing the need for bed rest after anterior skull base reconstruction: insights from a multicentre retrospective observational study.

Rhinology

September 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong, China.

Skull base reconstruction is a critical component of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS). Bed rest remains an indispensable element of post-operative care, which should be carefully considered for reducing the risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and enhancing surgical outcomes (1, 2). However, the necessity of bed rest continues to be controversial as indicated by the expert consensus on perioperative management of skull base reconstruction, due to a lack of high-quality evidence to support its effectiveness (1-4).

Oropouche virus (OROV) is emerging as a growing public health concern, with increasing numbers of case, an expanding global spread and the potential for severe clinical outcomes. However, despite the increasing incidence, the clinical features of OROV infections have not yet been thoroughly examined. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of clinical manifestations in OROV infections.

Purpose: Michigan Screening and Intervention for Glaucoma and Eye Health through Telemedicine Program (MI-SIGHT) was developed to facilitate access to glaucoma and eye disease screening and improve attendance at recommended follow-up in underserved communities. MI-SIGHT offered free eye disease screenings, low-cost glasses and for those who screened positive for glaucoma, personalized education, and language-concordant coaching grounded in motivational interviewing. The primary aims of this study were 1) To explore barriers to eye care among Latine participants with limited English proficiency (LEP) who screened positive for glaucoma, 2) to understand whether and how the MI-SIGHT program facilitated access to care and 3) to understand participant experience in MI-SIGHT to inform the development of future interventions.

Epidemiology of ocular trauma in limited-resource settings: a narrative review.

Front Med (Lausanne)

August 2025

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Scheie Eye Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, United States.

Ocular trauma disproportionately impacts low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and contributes significantly to blindness and disability in these settings. While numerous publications address the epidemiology of ocular trauma in limited-resource settings, there are no systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or large-scale review articles investigating this topic further. In this article, the authors summarize, compare, and contrast the extant literature on ocular trauma in LMICs.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
