PURPOSE: To report the visual outcomes and complications of congenital cataract surgery with primary intraocular lens implantation in microphthalmic eyes of children younger than 4 years of age. METHODS: This retrospective interventional case series included 14 microphthalmic eyes from 10 children who underwent congen…

BACKGROUND: Self-efficacy has been identified as one of the most consistent variables that predict the outcome of alcohol treatment. However, many previous studies in this field failed to control for other important predictors (e.g., dependences severity, psychiatric symptoms, and treatment goal). Our study's first goa…

Some quantitative behavioral studies in the USA have concluded that bisexually behaving Latino men are less likely than White men to disclose to their female partners that they have engaged in same-sex risk behavior and/or are HIV-positive, presumably exposing female partners to elevated risk for HIV infection. Neverth…

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Apert syndrome, a disorder of craniosynostosis, syndactyly, and other craniofacial malformations, is caused by point mutations (Ser252Trp or Pro253Arg) in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene. This study's goal was to determine ophthalmic phenotype/genotype correlations in patients with eith…

Patients initially diagnosed with type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) have been reclassified as type 2 after a more exhaustive analysis in several studies. Our study's objectives were (1) to reanalyze patients that were previously diagnosed as type 1 to achieve a more accurate diagnosis and (2) to compare the von Wille…

PURPOSE: While the etiopathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear, it is assumed that muscular asymmetries contribute to curve progression. As previous studies have found asymmetries of the thoracic paraspinal muscles in AIS patients, our study's aim was to analyze differences in the erector…

Most tasks performed in everyday life require both hands to perform asymmetric movements. Such tasks require one hand to act as a manipulator and the other hand as a stabiliser, and choosing the hand to perform each role is termed hand role selection. The dominant and non-dominant hand are usually spontaneously assigne…

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a core component of good health for people living in contexts affected by conflict, displacement or other crises. This paper explores how SRH needs are understood by the international humanitarian community, and the implications for the relative prioritisation of different compon…

Endometrial cancer (EC) ranks among the least prevalent gynecological tumors worldwide, with rising incidence due to aging and obesity.

Understanding the role of IncF plasmids in the success of drug-resistant bacteria has far-reaching implications for tackling antibiotic resistance. The study's use of a novel CRISPR-Cas9-mediated plasmid-curing system provides a precision tool for dissecting the specific impact of IncF plasmids on ExPEC clones, especia…

COVID-19-related stigmatization of affected people or people at risk of infection has been shown to enhance the reluctance of affected individuals to use health services and reduce their mental health. It is thus highly important to gain a thorough understanding of COVID-19-related stigmatization. The present study's f…
