Increasing age, higher IOP tied to primary angle-closure disease in Asians
The incidence of primary angle-closure disease (PACD) in a multi-ethnic Asian population is 3.50 percent over 6 years, a study has shown. Increasing age, higher intraocular pressure (IOP), and shallower anterior chamber contribute to the increased risk of incident PACT, while late posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) is associated with a lower likelihood of developing PACD.

Mini-slings on par with mid-urethral slings for female SUI
In terms of patient-reported success, the newer, adjustable, anchored single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) were noninferior to the synthetic, tension-free, standard mid-urethral slings (SMUS) for the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, the SIMS study suggests.

Reactive oxygen species from neutrophils tied to severe COVID-19, sepsis
In patients with severe COVID-19 or sepsis, high levels of neutrophils seem to be able to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which might contribute to disease pathology, a recent study has found.

Netarsudil use for glaucoma may cause punctal stenosis
Use of topical netarsudil 0.02% for the treatment of glaucoma results in the development of reversible punctal stenosis, a recent study has found. This inflammation-mediated stenosis can cause tearing and related symptoms and may lead to treatment discontinuation with sufficient severity.
