1) The authors ask the original study authors to clarify whether gas-forced infusion was used during surgery, as it prevents endothelial cell loss by decreasing intraoperative surges.
2) In their own previous study, the authors found lower endothelial cell loss with gas-forced infusion compared to without it.
3) Several techniques can maintain stability during biaxial phacoemulsification, and gas-forced infusion is one successful method to prevent surges.
The document discusses various retinal laser treatments used in ophthalmology, including pan retinal photocoagulation for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. It describes the different types of lasers and laser delivery systems, factors affecting retinal photocoagulation, and protocols for treating various fundus disorders. The laser treatments are aimed at reducing neovascularization, macular edema, and the risk of vision loss.
The document describes the neural pathway for vision, including the retina, optic nerve, optic tracts, lateral geniculate bodies, optic radiations, and visual cortex. It notes that the pathway involves three orders of neurons. It discusses how the nasal and temporal halves of the retina project to different sides of the brain, causing visual field defects when different areas are damaged. Common lesions that can cause visual field defects include those of the optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tracts, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations, and occipital lobe.
The document summarizes interesting facts about human eyes. It discusses the main parts of the eye like the retina, sclera, cornea, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, lens, and their functions. It also mentions that the eye has over 500 shades of gray vision and weighs 28 grams. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness. The highest sneeze speed is 165 km/hr and babies cannot produce tears until 6-8 weeks old.

Autonomic innervation of ocular strucures and Pupillary reflexesDhanyasree Nair
The document discusses the autonomic innervation of ocular structures and pupillary reflexes. It notes that the autonomic nervous system innervates structures like the iris, ciliary muscle, eyelids, blood vessels and lacrimal gland. The sympathetic system prepares the body for emergencies and supplies structures like the iris dilator and parasympathetic restores resting state and supplies the iris sphincter. Pupillary reflexes like light, near and darkness are discussed along with their pathways. Abnormalities in afferent pathways can cause total or relative afferent defects while efferent defects affect the light reflex. Conditions like Adie's tonic pupil and Argyll Robertson pupil that cause diss
Glaucoma is caused by a number of different eye diseases that in most cases produce increased pressure within the eye. This elevated pressure is caused by a backup of fluid in the eye. Over time, it causes damage to the optic nerve. Through early detection, diagnosis and treatment, you and your doctor can help to preserve your vision.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
