A mobile intelligent guide system for visually impaired pedestrian

Wenjie Chen et al.

Summary: In this paper, an intelligent guide system based on a smartphone is proposed. Videos of tactile paving captured by the phone camera are processed and analyzed, and guide messages are sent to the user in the form of sound or vibration. A fine-tuned MobileNet model is used for feature extraction, and Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) is employed for TWSI detection. The user's position is determined using the Score Voting algorithm, and corresponding guide information is provided. The system achieves high accuracy and real-time performance, and can replace bumpy tactile paving with flat stickers or paint with TWSI patterns.

Human ocular mucins: The endowed guardians of sight

Pablo Argueso

Summary: Mucins are a type of ancient glycoproteins that provide viscoelastic, lubricating, and hydration properties to wet surfaced epithelia. They form a barrier with selective permeability to protect underlying tissues. In the eye, mucins are expressed, processed, and spatially distributed based on specific organ requirements to protect against environmental insults while allowing the passage of light. The adaptation of human ocular surface epithelia includes the production of a thin and watery tear film containing soluble mucin. Transmembrane mucins play a significant role in the tear film, occupying up to one-quarter of its total thickness. Understanding the properties and functions of ocular mucins is crucial for developing applications with potential biological and clinical impact.

Summary: Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a group of rare disorders of the retina, with an increasing number of genes being identified as causes. In Saudi Arabia, recessive mutations in TRPM1 and CABP4 are most common, associated with high myopia or hyperopia. Four novel mutations were discovered, and fundus albipunctatus was described for the first time in two patients, caused by mutations in RDH5 and RPE65. No cases of dominantly inherited CSNB were found.

Visual field defects in temporal lobe epilepsy surgery

Vejay N. Vakharia et al.

Summary: Surgery for drug-refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy can provide long-term seizure remission, but can lead to postoperative visual field defects (VFDs) and driving license ineligibility. Various modifications to surgical approaches have been made to minimize damage to the optic radiation, with advancements in microsurgical techniques introducing minimally invasive alternatives such as laser interstitial thermal therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery. Intraoperative use of optic radiation tractography and interventional MRI can help reduce VFDs and improve outcomes for patients undergoing surgery.
