New Publication in the Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology: Hybrid Tip Efficiency in Cataract Surgery I am excited to announce the publication of my latest research in the Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of a hybrid phacoemulsification tip in removing grade 3 and 4 cataracts under both high and low intraocular pressure (IOP) settings. This prospective, randomized study compares critical operative metrics such as phacoemulsification time, aspiration time, fluid use, and postoperative outcomes, including central corneal thickness and IOP changes. Our findings suggest that the hybrid tip, used in conjunction with the Centurion Vision System, provides excellent efficiency for cataract removal, irrespective of IOP settings. Notably, the hybrid tip demonstrated comparable performance in both high (50 mmHg) and low (20 mmHg) IOP groups, with no significant differences in phaco time, aspiration time, or fluid usage. This is especially important for minimizing postoperative complications like corneal edema, which can be associated with higher IOP settings. These results are promising for advancing safety in cataract surgery, offering the potential to reduce IOP without sacrificing efficiency or increasing the risk of complications. The full article is now available for reading in the Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology. I look forward to further discussions and feedback from the ophthalmic community on these important findings.

Glad I could contribute to our recently published paper on decongestant effect of Coldamaris akut nose spray! ✅ Coldamaris is known as a gentle, effective, and safe prevention and treatment of various viral respiratory infections. ✅ Now we have also demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Much like how PPE 🥽, proper training 📚, and clear protocols 📝 keep us safe at work, protecting our brain is equally as important 🧠 In our new study that focuses on trainees within the academic medical center, we found that psychological safety is driven by belonging, recognition, and respect. But here’s the key: getting there means digging deeper into what truly drives these feelings. ✅ Trust and confidence in mentors or supervisors influences trainees' sense of belonging and respect ✅ Trainee perception of organizational support plays a crucial role in fostering recognition and belonging ✅ Clarity in role expectations and autonomy were important for fostering a sense of recognition Whether you're a leader of graduate students and postdocs, or medical students, residents, and fellows - fostering psychological safety in demanding research-intensive or clinical settings is essential for trainee success. What are you doing to support #PsychologicalSafety in your trainees? Thank you to the team that made this paper possible - David Rogers, Katherine A. Meese, Ph.D, Katherine Sweeney, Christine Loyd, PhD, Megan Hays, Ph.D., ABPP, FAACVPR, and Robert Estes. Huge thank you to Valerie Minor, MS who is keeps me well and is my thought partner in all things creative (👀 that graphic!!). And, last but certainly not least, thank you to Advances in Medical Education and Practice (Dove Medical Press) for a seamless and enjoyable publishing process! #TraineeSupport #AcademicMedicine

This study explores the pharmacoeconomic impact and quality-of-life benefits of icodec, an innovative basal insulin with weekly administration. By reducing injection frequency from 365 to 52 times per year, icodec not only improves treatment adherence and patient satisfaction but also optimizes costs for the National Health Service (NHS). Key findings include: •𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Thanks to a reduction in needle consumption and improved adherence, icodec generates an annual economic benefit of approximately €105.95 per patient. •𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: With an incremental utility in terms of Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs), icodec proves to be a cost-effective alternative, showing a dominant Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) over daily insulin degludec. •𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: The reduced injection frequency also contributes to sustainability, decreasing CO2 emissions by approximately 62% per patient annually. This analysis demonstrates that icodec offers a valuable economic and therapeutic option for diabetes management in Italy, delivering enhanced quality of life without additional costs to the NHS. 🔎 Read the full study to explore these findings (link): https://lnkd.in/dA2f9u8U 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐡𝐬: Enrico Torre, Sergio Di Matteo, Giacomo M.
