Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy, predictability, and safety of custom laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using the Visx wavefront platform CustomVue for the treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism. Stanford University Eye Laser Center, Stanford, California, USA. This retrospective analysis was of the initial 140 eyes of 78 patients treated consecutively with LASIK for myopia using the Visx Star S4 excimer laser. Primary outcome variables, including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, and complications, were evaluated at 1 week and 1 and 3 months. Vector analysis was performed on eyes that received astigmatic correction. Mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) was reduced from -3.89 diopters +/- 1.48 (SD) to an SE of -0.21 +/- 0.36 D at 1 month and -0.28 +/- 0.36 D at 3 months (P < .001). At 1 and 3 months, UCVA was 20/20 or better in 84.3% and 87.9%, respectively. Eighty-six percent of eyes at 1 month and 81.4% of eyes at 3 months were within +/-0.5 D of emmetropia. No eyes lost more than 2 lines of BSCVA. Vector analysis yielded an index of success of 0.39, indicating a 61% success rate in achieving the astigmatic surgical correction at 3 months. The preopera...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
