Ray-Tracing Customization in Myopic and Myopic Astigmatism LASIK Treatments for Low and High Order Aberrations Treatment: 2-Year Visual Function and Psychometric Value Outcomes of... by Kanellopoulos AJ

“…High order aberrations, contrast sensitivity as well as the subjective psychometric input based on the VFQ-25 questionnaire demonstrated actual improvement.Conclusion: This longer-term follow-up, single-arm retrospective consecutive case series documents LASIK treatment customization that appears to be safe and effective in the correction of myopia and myopic astigmatism. Markedly improved objective and subjective visual function post-operatively, underlying the potential importance of simultaneously attempting to correct high order aberrations and improving the spatial alignment of total, measured human eye optics.Keywords: raytracing excimer customization of myopic corrections, topography-guided, wavefront-guided, femtosecond-laser assisted myopic LASIK, customized excimer laser ablation: human eye optical tilt between the cornea and the crystalline lens…”

Osteoporosis and sarcopenia-related traits: A bi-directional Mendelian randomization study by Chao Liu, Chao Liu, Ningyuan Liu, Yu Xia, Yu Xia, Ziyue Zhao, Ziyue Zhao, Tao Xiao, Tao Xiao, Hui Li, Hui Li

“…Meanwhile, a Mendelian randomization (MR) study can overcome these confounders to assess causality.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the causality between OP and SP, informing new strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteosarcopenia.MethodsInstrumental variables (IVs) at the genome‐wide significance level were obtained from published summary statistics, and the inverse variance weighted method and several other MR methods were conducted to evaluate the bi-directional causality between SP and OP. Myopia was analyzed as a negative control outcome to test the validity of IVs.ResultsFemoral neck bone mineral density (FN BMD), lumbar spine BMD (LS BMD), and forearm BMD (FA BMD) had a direct causal effect on appendicular lean mass (ALM) [FA BMD-related analysis: odds ratio (OR) = 1.028, 95% confidence interval (CI) = (1.008,1.049), p = 0.006; FN BMD-related analysis: OR (95% CI) = 1.131 (1.092,1.170), p = 3.18E-12; LS BMD-related analysis: OR (95% CI) = 1.080 (1.062,1.098), p = 2.86E-19]. …”
