Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate whether differences in asphericity or corneal spherical aberration (SA) affect intraocular lens (IOL) power and visual acuity (VA) among different ethnicities.
Design: Modeling and simulation study based on published clinical data.
Methods: Individual eye models were developed with corneas designed to represent different ethnicities, based on clinical study data, to simulate and determine SA for a 6-mm pupil. The study included Black, Brazilian, Chinese, Egyptian, Indian, Japanese, Portuguese, Saudi Arabian, Tanzanian, Taiwanese, and White population groups. Corneal SA ranged from 0.17 to 0.31 µm among different ethnic and age groups. Differences in power in model eyes with various ethnic asphericities were assessed using spherical SA60AT, Clareon CNA0T0 (-0.20 µm SA), and a monofocal aspheric IOL (-0.28 µm SA). Modulation transfer function (MTF) and VA were calculated at different defocus. Defocus was applied from -0.5 to 0.5 D, using 0.05 D intervals.
Results: Emmetropic IOL power for CNA0T0 was 20.756 D based on the A-Constant and an SRK/T model with 0.28-µm SA. For all ethnicities with CNA0T0, the maximum IOL power difference was approximately -0.1 D when compared with an average cornea. For spherical IOL, MTF was 0.562 units at best focus and 0.529 units at 0.1 D defocus; VA was -0.028 logMAR at best focus and -0.023 logMAR at 0.1 D defocus. For aspheric IOLs, MTF was 0.604 units at best focus and 0.579 units at 0.1 D defocus; VA was -0.033 logMAR at the best focus and -0.030 logMAR at 0.1 D defocus.
Conclusion: The calculated A-Constants for CNA0T0 for different ethnicities ranged from 119.029 to 119.151. Based on the specific model eye generated from published clinical data for each ethnicity and using a spherical and two aspheric monofocal intraocular lenses, the use of a different A-Constant for different ethnic populations would not impact visual outcomes.

Background: Population pharmacokinetic models can potentially provide suggestions for an initial dose and the magnitude of dose adjustment during therapeutic drug monitoring procedures of imatinib. Several population pharmacokinetic models for imatinib have been developed over the last two decades. However, their predictive performance is still unknown when extrapolated to different populations, especially children.

This study applied Raman spectroscopy (RS) to ex vivo human cadaveric femoral mid-diaphysis cortical bone specimens ( = 118 donors; age range 21-101 years) to predict fracture toughness properties via machine learning (ML) models. Spectral features, together with demographic variables (age, sex) and structural parameters (cortical porosity, volumetric bone mineral density), were fed into support vector regression (SVR), extreme tree regression (ETR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and ensemble models to predict fracture-toughness metrics such as crack-initiation toughness (K) and energy-to-fracture (J-integral). Feature selection was based on Raman-derived mineral and organic matrix parameters, such as νPhosphate (PO)/CH-wag, νPO/Amide I, and others, to capture the complex composition of bone.

From the moment of fertilization, human development takes a phenomenal pace. In no other period of life are more biological and developmental milestones met than in the first 1,000 days after conception. All organs and systems are formed, and children start to discover the world, learn whom to trust and where to find comfort in times of distress.

Many people living with a stoma face challenges beyond their physical needs. Although stoma care products and services have advanced, significant gaps persist in national policies and equitable access. Current policies appear to prioritise cost savings over the wellbeing of people living with a stoma, not appreciating the expertise of specialist stoma care nurses (SSCNs) and the experience of people living with a stoma.

Chronic hyponatremia is increasingly recognized as a potential contributor to impaired bone health, although the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Experimental studies have demonstrated that low serum sodium levels affect both osteoclast and osteoblast function, resulting primarily in increased bone resorption and secondarily in reduced bone formation. In humans, however, evidence regarding the effects of hyponatremia on bone remains limited.
