Evaluation of Corneal Irregular Astigmatism and Visual Quality Following Bilateral Sequential SMILE and LASEK: A Six-Year Comparative Study. [PDF]
J OphthalmolPurpose To compare the corneal spherical component (SC), regular astigmatism (RA), irregular astigmatism (IA, including asymmetry and irregularity), and visual quality 6 years after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for mild‐to‐moderate myopia.

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review. [PDF]
HeadachePlain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

Bibliometric indices as a measure of long-term competitive balance in knockout tournaments [PDF]
, 2020 We argue for the application of bibliometric indices to quantify long-term uncertainty of outcome in sports. The Euclidean index is proposed to reward quality over quantity, while the rectangle index can be an appropriate measure of core performance ...

Tetanic Stimulation Leads to Increased Accumulation of Ca^(2+)/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II via Dendritic Protein Synthesis in Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]
, 1999 mRNA for the ɑ-subunit of CaMKII is abundant in dendrites of neurons in the forebrain (Steward, 1997). Here we show that tetanic stimulation of the Schaffer collateral pathway causes an increase in the concentration of ɑ-CaMKII in the dendrites of ...
