Ocular perfusion in primary angle-closure suspect and primary angle-closure eyes without prior acute angle closure by Reni Philip, Venkateshwaran Kannan, Lingam Vijaya, Rashima Asokan, Shantha Balekudaru, Annadurai Parivadhini, Ronnie George

“…CONCLUSION: Similar OCTA parameters were seen in normal, PACS, and PAC eyes without prior APAC, suggestive of absence of vascular factors in eyes without APAC in angle-closure disease. Functional impairment, despite similar structural and perfusion parameters in PAC eyes compared to PACS eyes, may be suggestive of ganglion cell dysfunction prior to loss.…”

A modified measurement method for functional spinal unit ROM of cervical spine by Jianxi Wang, Hao Zhou, Bo Hu, Fazhi Zang, Wen Yuan, Huajiang Chen, Lei Liang

“…However, the ISM method presents the measurement results in millimeters which cannot be directly compared with the Cobb angle measurement data. We proposed a modified measurement method for cervical functional spinal unit range of motion  (FSU ROM) and evaluate its repeatability and reliability in measuring the ROM of the surgical segment after cervical artificial disc replacement surgery. …”

Expanding of Excimer Laser Photoablation’s Functionality in Ophthalmology by V. A. Alekseev, V. G. Kostin, A. V. Usoltseva, V. P. Usoltsev, S. I. Yuran

“…When using excimer laser vision correction devices, it has been proposed to change the angle of the laser beam incidence on the cornea with a distance from the working area (ablation zone) center to the periphery during the surgery by introducing an optical corrective system based on a lightweight controllable and movable mirror, which allows achieving the coincidence of the direction of the laser beam incidence on the corneal surface with the normal.The studies have shown that the coincidence of the laser beam incidence on the corneal surface at any point with the normal when using a priori data on the specifics of the patient's eye allows expanding the functional opportunities of excimer laser photoablation, i. e., expand the ablation zone by 30 % and eliminate the possibility of errors caused by the human factor. …”
