    Abstract Purpose: This research evaluates the effectiveness of the Spot Vision Screener (SVS) before and after cycloplegia to detect amblyogenic refractive errors in children.
    Methods: Children ages 3 to 10 years old were screened by the SVS before and after cycloplegia. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, paired t-test, Bland-Altman plot and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve were evaluated by comparing the results of the SVS (v3.0.05) measurements with the results of the cycloplegic Topcon autorefractometer according to the 2021 guidelines of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
    Results: Both eyes of 211 patients aged 3 to 10 years old were included. Regarding the amblyopia risk factors, the noncycloplegic SVS had 65.7 % sensitivity, 94.9 % specificity, 81.2 % positive predictive value and 89.3 % negative predictive value. The SVS's sensitivity increased from 65.7 % to 81.9 % with cycloplegia compared to noncycloplegic SVS results. The sensitivity detection of hyperopia was improved from 4.2 % to 100 % after cycloplegia. Areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve for noncycloplegic SVS and cycloplegic SVS were 0.506 (95 % CI, 0.395 to 0.646, p = 0737) and 0.905 (95 % CI, 0.915 to 0.971, p < 0.001) for hyperopia, respectively. Using the +1.64 D revised cutoff criteria for hyperopia increased sensitivity from 4.2 % to 78 %.
    Conclusion: Noncycloplegic SVS measurements showed relatively high specificity in detecting amblyopia risk factors. The fact that noncycloplegic measurements have a very low sensitivity for hyperopia is an important weakness of the SVS, especially because hyperopia is the most frequently encountered refractive error in very young children. It should be noted that amblyogenic hyperopia may be overlooked by an SVS without cycloplegia.

    Abstract Objectives: To analyze the effect of macular choroidal thickness (MCT) and peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT) on the classification of obese and healthy children by comparing the performance of the random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and multilayer perceptrons (MLP) algorithms.
    Materials and methods: Fifty-nine obese children and 35 healthy children aged 6 to 15 years were studied in this prospective comparative study using optical coherence tomography. MCT and PPCT were measured at distances of 500 μm, 1,000 μm, and 1,500 μm from the fovea and optic disc. Three different feature selection algorithms were used to determine the most prominent features of all extracted features. The classification efficiency of the extracted features was analyzed using the RF, SVM, and MLP algorithms, demonstrating their efficacy for distinguishing obese from healthy children. The precision and reliability of measurements were assessed using kappa analysis.
    Results: The correlation feature selection algorithm produced the most successful classification results among the different feature selection methods. The most prominent features for distinguishing the obese and healthy groups from each other were PPCT temporal 500 μm, PPCT temporal 1,500 μm, PPCT nasal 1,500 μm, PPCT inferior 1,500 μm, and subfoveal MCT. The classification rates for the RF, SVM, and MLP algorithms were 98.6%, 96.8%, and 89%, respectively.
    Conclusion: Obesity has an effect on the choroidal thicknesses of children, particularly in the subfoveal region and the outer semi-circle at 1,500 μm from the optic disc head. Both the RF and SVM algorithms are effective and accurate at classifying obese and healthy children.

    Abstract L-serine is an important amino acid that ensures neuronal differentiation and development. The SLC1A4 gene encodes proteins that transport amino acids such as serine, alanine, threonine and glutamate into neurons. Pathogenic variants in SLC1A4 gene interneuron transport of L-serine impaired and a severe global developmental delay occurs, characterized by microcephaly and refractory seizures. In this article, we would like to describe the demographic, clinical, electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of a patient with a novel pathogenic variant in the 6th exon of the SLC1A4 gene (p.Gly374Arg) detected by whole-exome sequencing, which is extremely rare (there have been twenty patients reported in the literature). It is emphasized that SLC1A4 gene variants should be kept in mind if the patients have microcephaly, global developmental delay, refractory seizures, and there are no abnormalities in basal metabolic investigations, and the thin corpus callosum and myelination delay is seen on the MRI.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of cryopreserved human amniotic membrane transplantation (hAMT) in patients with infectious ulcerative keratitis.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on medical records of patients who underwent hAMT procedure over a 2-year period (2020-2021) was conducted at Ege University Hospital, Turkey. Cryopreserved hAM was used. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured with the Snellen chart. Detailed ophthalmological examination was performed at all visits. Treatment success was defined as complete healing including disappearance of corneal infiltrates, epithelial defect closure, reduction in anterior segment reaction.
    Results: A total of 13 eyes of 12 patients were diagnosed with ulcerative keratitis between 2020 and 2021. hAMT was performed in severe keratitis patients in which corneal infiltrates extending to middle to deep stromal and patients with neurotrophic component, in other words, having trouble for wound healing. The mean age was 60.9 ± 18.7 years, and 66.6% of the patients were male. Average ulcer horizontal diameter was 9.7 ± 2.8 mm. A single-layer human amniotic membrane (hAM) was transplanted 92.3% of eyes. Overlay technique was used in all patients for hAMT. The mean residence time of the amniotic membrane on the ocular surface was 14.1 ± 10.2 days. The mean time from the first presentation to the hAM transplantation was 9.7 ± 6.8 days. The average hospitalization time of all patients was 15 ± 12.1 days, pre-hAMT was 10.2 ± 7.3 days and post-hAMT was 4.8 ± 9.1 days. The mean follow-up time was 3 months. Recovery response was positive in 76.9%. Average healing time was 32.1 ± 14.04 days.
    Conclusions: hAMT was effective in the treatment of infectious ulcerative keratitis by accelerating and supporting wound healing. Performing hAM transplantation at the early stages of the disease and prolonged residence of membrane on the ocular surface increase the success of the treatment and moreover shortens hospitalization time.

    Abstract The development of taxane resistance remains a major challenge for castration resistant prostate cancer (CR-PCa), despite the effectiveness of taxanes in prolonging patient survival. To uncover novel targets, we performed an epigenetic drug screen on taxane (docetaxel and cabazitaxel) resistant CR-PCa cells. We identified BRPF reader proteins, along with several epigenetic groups (CBP/p300, Menin-MLL, PRMT5 and SIRT1) that act as targets effectively reversing the resistance mediated by ABCB1. Targeting BRPFs specifically resulted in the resensitization of resistant cells, while no such effect was observed on the sensitive compartment. These cells were successfully arrested at the G

    Abstract Purpose: To provide an age and sex-classified reference dataset for normal fornix depth by measuring the lower and upper conjunctival fornix depth (FD) in healthy volunteers.
    Methods: An epidemiological, prospective, cross-sectional study evaluates conjunctival FDs in 301 healthy Turkish volunteers aged 20-83. Fornix measurements were made using a validated fornix depth measurer (FDM).
    Results: The mean age was 49.2 ± 19 in males and 48.6 ± 16.2 in females. The mean upper and lower conjunctival FDs were 15.9 (12-21) mm and 10.1 (6-13) mm, respectively. The mean upper and lower FDs were 15.4 (13-20) mm and 9.7 (6-13) mm in females, and 16.3 (12-21) mm and 10.5 (8-13) mm in males, respectively.   .
    Conclusion: When the normative dataset created in healthy Turkish volunteers, it was observed that both the upper and lower FDs were shallower in females and that they gradually became shallower with age. Accordingly, when an evaluation for conjunctival pathology is to be made, the expected normal FD value for both age and sex should be considered.
