Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Trigeminal Ganglion for Treating Postherpetic Neuralgia of the Ophthalmic Branch by Dong-Yang Liu, Jin-Sheng Chen, Ze-Zang Fang, Shao-Yan Liu, Li Wan

“…Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a painful, long-lasting condition as a consequence of nerve damage resulting from a herpes zoster infection. Although there are many different treatments available to reduce pain duration and severity, PHN is often refractory to them and no single therapy shows an effective cure for all cases of PHN, especially for those involving the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. …”

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy in severe male factor infertility: protocol for a multicenter randomised controlled trial by Li Wang, Li Jin, Yao Lu, Chen Zhang, He-Feng Huang, Yun Sun, Xian-hua Lin, Meng-xi Guo, Dan-dan Wu, Jian-lin Zhang, Cheng-liang Zhou, Chen-ming Xu, Song-chang Chen, Song-ying Zhang, Xiao-xi Sun, Yan-ting Wu

“…However, there are controversies regarding the selection and the damage to gametes during the ICSI procedure. Although preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) can give genetic information about embryos for transfer and improve fertility rate, and it is widely used in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion or advanced age, PGT-A is not only more expensive but also has unclear effectiveness with respect to the improvement of fertility rate among couples with severe male infertility. …”

Changes in Ganglion Cell Complex and Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer after Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery Compared to Manual Phacoemulsification in Patients Re... by Carmen Sánchez-Sánchez, Laureano A. Rementería-Capelo, Virginia Carrillo, Juan Pérez-Lanzac, Inés Contreras

“…During femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), there is a significant increase in intraocular pressure, which might lead to ganglion cell damage. We aimed to determine whether there were differences in the changes produced in the ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness, as evaluated with optical coherence tomography (OCT), between phacoemulsification and FLACS, after implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). …”
