Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of combined Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and secondary sulcus hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for hyperopic correction in a pseudophakic eye with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy.
Observation: A 74-year-old woman with Fuchs' dystrophy and a history of phacoemulsification with a hydrophilic IOL in her left eye (refraction: +5.25 D/-1.00 D × 68°; best corrected visual acuity [BCVA]: 20/40) underwent a preparatory yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) iridotomy followed by implantation of a hydrophobic add-on +8 D IOL in the ciliary sulcus through a 2.4 mm incision. DMEK was performed using a 90 % fill of 10 % sulfur hexafluoride (SF). Two months after surgery, refraction improved to -0.25 D/-1.75 D × 62° (BCVA: 20/25), with restored corneal clarity and an endothelial cell density of 1920 cells/mm. At 10 months, refraction was +0.75 D/-1.25 D × 54°, and BCVA further improved to 20/20, with an endothelial density of 1778 cells/mm and normalized corneal thickness. No IOL opacification was observed.
Conclusion And Importance: This case indicates that combining DMEK with secondary sulcus hydrophobic IOL implantation can effectively correct hyperopia in pseudophakic eyes with Fuchs' dystrophy.

Purpose: The primary purpose was to assess sulcus angle (SA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements and determine diagnostic cutoff values along four axial levels on cartilaginous and osseous surfaces comparing those with patellar dislocations (PD) versus controls. A secondary aim was to identify differences in SA between patients with one-time dislocation (OTD) versus recurrent patellar dislocations (RPDs).
Methods: Paediatric patients with a history of PD were retrospectively grouped into those with an OTD versus RPDs.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of traumatic cataract and factors influencing visual outcomes following cataract extraction in a tertiary centre in Malaysia.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients treated for traumatic cataract at the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital XXX, between January 2012 and December 2022. Data were retrieved from the Malaysian Cataract Registry.

Bipartite patella revisited: the not so asymptomatic accessory ossicle.
Pediatr Radiol

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Texas Children's Hospital, 6621 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77030, United States.
Background: The bipartite patella is a controversial variant, with definitions spanning from normal to stigmata related to patellofemoral dysplasia.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively determine if a bipartite patella is in the spectrum of normal versus forme fruste of underlying patellofemoral dysplasia in children using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. A secondary purpose is to assess the MRI findings of the symptomatic bipartite and its implications for patient care.
Mapping the Olfactory Brain: A Systematic Review of Structural and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Changes Following COVID-19 Smell Loss.

Smell and Taste Clinic, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Technische Universität Dresden, Fetscherstrasse 74, 01307 Dresden, Germany.
Background: Olfactory dysfunction (OD)-including anosmia and hyposmia-is a common and often persistent outcome of viral infections. This systematic review consolidates findings from structural and functional MRI studies to explore how COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2-induced smell loss alters the brain. Considerable heterogeneity was observed across studies, influenced by differences in methodology, population characteristics, imaging timelines, and OD classification.
