This study addresses the growing interest in Dry Eye Disease (DED) by evaluating quality of DED videos on YouTube, gauging audience engagement, and identifying factors influencing viewership. In this cross-sectional study, we collected videos, during July to September 2023, using keyword 'dry eye'. A data collection form, including general characteristics engagement metrics, was employed. Two medical experts rated Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Audio Visual (PEMAT-A/V) custom clinical scoring tool. Among total 52 assessed, 80.8% speakers were Medical Doctors. Regarding symptoms, only 21.2% mentioned excessive tearing 34.6% stated blurry vision. The majority (69.2%) eye drops as a treatment. Lifestyle modification limiting screen use addressed videos.

ABSTRACT Compromised hydration and biolubrication leads to untreatable disorders like osteoarthritis (OA), dry eye disease (DED) mouth (xerostomia). Only symptomatic treatment is possible through bioactive molecules. This study aims investigate the properties of natural modified phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PGNPs) which have shown superlubricious behaviour at mica‐mica sliding interface. PGNPs were cationised (CPGNPs) by modifying hydroxyl groups into quaternary amine groups. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used characterise size zeta‐potential both PGNPs. The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) their adhesion collagen type II mucin. tribological studied using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)‐glass system, cartilage‐glass (synovial) eye‐eyelid (ocular) systems. CPGNPs adhered better than on synovial ocular surfaces. Both particle types showed good lubrication for cartilage but no differences between in system observed. Overall, observed lubricating indicating great potential towards a implementation osteoarthritis.

Over 2.2 billion people across the globe face significant barriers to accessing essential ophthalmic care, with elderly, rural, and refugee populations being disproportionately affected, deepening existing disparities in eye care. Three-dimensional printing is a novel technology that has potential transform field improve access by alleviating many patient-specific barriers. This article delves into evolution of 3D within ophthalmology, highlighting its current applications future potential. It explores various techniques numerous biomaterials discussing their effectiveness creating advanced solutions such as bioengineered corneas, ocular prosthetics, innovative treatments for dry syndrome, from punctal plugs lacrimal gland models. Additionally, revolutionized drug delivery systems conditions like glaucoma, retinal diseases, brachytherapy. Whether through printed contact lens-based or polycaprolactone implants biodegrade provide sustained release without adverse effects, these hold immense field. Despite promise, integration clinical practice presents challenges, which addresses alongside strategies overcoming them. By mapping out technological advancements this review offers roadmap enhancing global care accessibility improving patient outcomes on scale.

Abstract Background This study aims to assess how Romanian medical students suffer from dry eye disease symptoms, establish the prevalence and severity of (DE) symptoms identify potential risk factors. Methods An analytical, cross-sectional was conducted on “Carol Davila” University Medicine, Romania, after final examination period July 2022. The OSDI score (Ocular Surface Disease Index©) applied in an online survey. adopted standards used by other authors, who defined symptomatic DED as greater than 12. chi-square test statistical significance at a cutoff value p < 0.05. predictive model created using linear logistic regression analysis. goodness fit assessed Hosmer-Lemeshow test. When outcome had nominal categorical form, multinomial analysis with normal subjects reference performed. distribution severe type symptomatology across sex categories years analyzed nonparametric (Independent-Samples Kruskal-Wallis Test). Results A total 274 answers were received 81.4% females 18.6% males response rate 35.58%. mean age 22.7 ± 1.66 range between 20 25 old. Using score, we established that overall DE 83.6% (95%CI: 79.6%, 88%), 85.2% 80.5%, 89.8%) 76.5% 65%,88%) males. form most prevalent, regardless year or sex.

Scalable and sustainable synthesis of key fragments with a low environmental impact is crucial for API synthesis. Herein, we report the benzofuran-6-carboxylic acid, fragment drug lifitegrast used treating keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Unlike existing routes, this features transition metal-free, three-step protocol using general reagents. The scalability process was successfully demonstrated on 100 g scale. target compound obtained in pure form (98.2% HPLC purity) without chromatographic purification. methods avoid use metals cryogenic temperatures employed known routes. A life cycle analysis comparison current routes indicated that present route leaves smaller carbon footprint. By metal-free base catalyst, significant benefits, mainly CO2 emission savings, enhanced human health quality, lower mineral depletion, affirming sustainability lowering reaction steps. Designing chemical syntheses alternative pathways reduces input, supports chemists decision-making, addresses to low-carbon processes products.

Abstract The significance of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the Paris Climate Agreement is continuously increasing because its growing energy consumption. Here we examine question smartphone extend investigation to more aspects sustainability. Critical issues are identified ten UN Sustainable Development Goals. Measurements consumption show that a significant savings potential can be unlocked by reducing data outflow large amount personal stored in centers. Main discrepancies also traced oligopolistic market structure operating systems (OSs), messenger services, social media apps. Technical means sustainable use suggested as alternative OSs, channels Fediverse, well free open‐source software. Finally, societal conditions emphasized make OSs apps diverse so generally prevail.
