Accuracy of the Kane Formula for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Comparison with Existing Formulas: A Retrospective Review.
To evaluate the accuracy of the Kane formula for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in comparison with existing formulas by incorporating optional variables into calculation. ⋯ Although slightly better refractory outcome was noted in the Barrett Universal II formula, the performance of the Kane formula in refractive prediction was comparable in IOL power calculation, marking its superiority over many conventional IOL formulas, such as HofferQ, Haigis, Holladay1, and Holladay2.

Sex Comb on Midleg Like-2 Accelerates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Proliferation and Metastasis by Activating Wnt/β-Catenin/EMT Signaling.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of sex comb on midleg like-2 (SCML2) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and potentially related mechanisms. ⋯ SCML2 silencing inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin/EMT pathway.

Medications and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Use of the Landmark Method.
This study aimed to determine whether the use of drugs in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease is related to the risk of colorectal cancer using a Cox proportional hazards model with the landmark method to minimize immortal time bias. ⋯ In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the preventive effect of drug exposure on colorectal cancer varies depending on the application of the landmark method. Hence, the possibility of immortal time bias should be considered.

Serum Clusterin Level Could Reflect the Current Activity of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis.
We investigated whether serum clusterin levels could reflect the current antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV)-specific indices. ⋯ Serum clusterin levels could reflect the current disease activity in patients with AAV.
