Combination of a monofocal and one type of extended depth-of-focus (zonal refractive) intraocular lens (COMEDI) in bilateral cataract surgery protocol: a monocentric, randomised, p... by Sorcha Ní Dhubhghaill, Silke Oellerich, Wilfried Cools, Heleen Delbeke, Iva Krolo, Karolien Termote, Roger Van Schoor

“…In contrast, EDOF IOLs provide a greater range of vision, extending spectacle independence to intermediate distance, while multifocal IOLs enable spectacle independence at all distances with the drawback of positive dysphotopsias and reduced contrast perception.EDOF lenses are an attractive compromise with fewer dysphotopic side effects than multifocals. …”

Based on bioinformatics, SESN2 negatively regulates ferroptosis induced by ischemia reperfusion via the System Xc−/GPX4 pathway by Jiejie Hu, Lijun Qin, Guoqiang Zhu, Jingjing Ren, Hongxia Wang, Jing Jin, Haixue Zheng, Dan Li, Zhaoming Ge

“…Differentially expressed gene (DEG) enrichment analysis highlighted ferroptosis-related pathways.ResultsUsing Venn analysis, nine ferroptosis-related DEGs were identified, namely, Slc3a2, Slc7a11, Ccn2, Tfrc, Atf3, Chac1, Gch1, Lcn2, and Sesn2. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis combined with molecular complex detection (MCODE) identified six hub genes, namely, Ddit3, Atf3, Sesn2, Trib3, Ppp1r15a, and Gadd45a. …”
