Summary: This study reports the incidence, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of laser goniopuncture (LGP) in patients with previous deep sclerectomy (DS). The estimated incidence of LGP was 33.3%, 56.3%, and 62.8% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. LGP was effective at rescuing eyes with a failing DS. Higher pre-LGP IOP and medication number were associated with increased failure risk, while male gender, intraoperative mitomycin C, and longer interval between DS and LGP were associated with reduced failure.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to correlate histopathological changes of trabecular meshwork (TM) with clinical features in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). The findings suggest that fused trabecular beams are associated with higher baseline intraocular pressure (IOP), while thicker TM and lower trabecular endothelial cell (TEC) count are associated with lower IOP at final follow-up. Larger studies are required to validate these results.

Summary: The effects of slip on mixed convection nanofluid flow past a plate in the presence of first-order chemical reaction have been investigated. By considering zero nanoparticle flux at the plate and using similarity transformations, the partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Numerical solutions are obtained using the Runge-Kutta method and shooting technique. The results have significant implications for flow, heat, and mass transport characteristics, with changes in velocity and thermal slip parameters affecting fluid velocity, temperature, and heat transport speed.

Summary: The study compares body adiposity and blood pressure among two ethnically and climatically diverse populations in India and suggests that thermoregulatory adaptive mechanism may protect Indigenous populations from adverse consequences of increased adiposity. The findings show that while Monpa individuals have higher levels of body fat compared to Santhal individuals, the prevalence of hypertension is comparable between the two groups.

Summary: In recent years, the emergence of COVID-19 has caused disastrous health effects worldwide. Doxycycline, a member of the tetracycline group, has been prescribed as a treatment companion for this catastrophe. However, the extensive use and high solubility of doxycycline have led to its presence in water bodies, which can result in fatal resistance in organisms and pose health problems. Therefore, the development of suitable technologies to remove these unwanted antibiotics from wastewater has become necessary from a geoenvironmental perspective.

Summary: This paper analyzes the DC and RF performance of a dual material double gate-drain underlapped tunnel FET (DMUDG TFET) and its channel pocketing variant (DMUDG-CP TFET). The study shows that these devices can deliver high ON current while maintaining the ambipolar current of a conventional TFET. The proposed structural engineering improves the subthreshold swing and optimizes the gate capacitance and gate-to-drain capacitance. The analysis of electrical characteristics reveals the potential of these devices in RF and low-power VLSI applications.
