Why do most people wait until something hurts before calling a provider? It happens all the time. The sore knee gets worse. That odd mole changes. Blood pressure creeps up (then spikes). Preventive care feels optional.  Until it’s not. That’s where frontline providers step in. Working in busy clinics, rural hospitals and community health centers, […]

Orthopedic surgeons are living in an era of unprecedented technological advancement. Robotic-assisted surgery, AI-driven preoperative planning and patient-specific instrumentation have transformed the OR.
Robotic-assisted surgery promises submillimeter accuracy, reproducible implant placement and personalized reconstruction. We are guided by real-time feedback and sophisticated algorithms. Yet as we embrace these tools with enthusiasm, a thoughtful question can linger: Where is the high-quality evidence that the technological advances consistently translate into superior patient outcomes?

This influenza season has not offered much of a reprieve from last season, which ranks as one of the worst in the past 20 years, according to the CDC.
Across the United States, the CDC estimates there have been at least 22 million illnesses, 280,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 deaths related to influenza in the 2025-2026 season. At the same point last year, the numbers were slightly higher: 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths.
So far, the CDC has received reports of 60 pediatric deaths associated with influenza this season, mostly among children who were not fully

Over my 11 years in practice, I have watched glaucoma management evolve significantly.
MIGS procedures have given us safer alternatives to traditional filtering surgery, but a gap has persisted. What do we offer patients who need more pressure reduction than angle-based MIGS provides but who are not ideal candidates for filtering surgery?
The reemergence of uveoscleral outflow enhancement, now supported by bio-interventional technology such as AlloFlo Uveo (Iantrek), presents a meaningful solution. By accessing the uveoscleral pathway via cyclodialysis that is reinforced with a homologous,

A 69-year-old retired radio host and disc jockey was referred to the neuro-ophthalmology service for evaluation of a 3-month history of intermittent binocular diplopia and left-sided ptosis.
He described the diplopia as fluctuating, at times perceiving a vertical “shadow” and at other times horizontal image separation. Symptoms were present only with both eyes open and resolved with either eye closed. The diplopia fluctuated throughout the day, was worse in the evening and was more pronounced at distance, without a consistent gaze-dependent pattern.
He denied systemic, neurologic or other

Central serous chorioretinopathy is an idiopathic retinal disorder characterized by localized serous neurosensory detachment of the macula with or without pigment epithelial detachment.
Some of the associated risk factors are steroids in any form, psychological stress, renal or heart transplantation, pregnancy, Helicobacter pylori infection and drug use. Serous detachment of the macula occurs due to a dysfunctional hyperpermeable retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), leading to leakage of fluid from the choriocapillaris (Gupta et al.; Salmon).
There are only a few reports on retinal complications
