Results published in Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online showed both ultrasound-guided and open carpal tunnel release provided safe and effective symptom relief.
“Carpal tunnel surgery should be performed in a wide-awake fashion,” Victor M. Marwin, MD, MBA, orthopedic surgeon, hand and upper extremity surgery at Bluegrass Orthopaedics, told Healio. “We have really good minimally invasive techniques that are incredibly safe; it can be done in less intimidating clinical environments, like the office or surgery center; and a lot of these patients who are being put to sleep under general

WASHINGTON — The Tecnis PureSee extended depth of focus IOL provides good distance and intermediate vision, according to a real-world study presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
Brian Schwam, MD, said the PureSee extended depth of focus IOL (Johnson & Johnson) has a purely refractive design that helps patients extend their range of vision while minimizing dysphotopsias and maximizing tolerance to residual refractive error.
“The lens has a continuous changing curvature along the posterior surface,” he said during a presentation. “The anterior surface

An FDA initiative to implement real-world clinical trials could dramatically accelerate the pace at which new treatments become available to patients, according to physicians from two institutions involved in the effort’s initial phase.
The approach will leverage electronic health records and an AI-powered platform to allow FDA scientists to track safety signals and efficacy endpoints while studies are in progress. The goal is to streamline data collection and facilitate earlier regulatory decisions.
“Our capabilities for drug and device development, and our ability to evaluate data, are much

SAN FRANCISCO — Psychedelics in mental health treatment is a rapidly changing landscape, but it is important for primary care providers to keep up, according to a speaker here.

Patients reported satisfaction with having cataract surgery in both eyes on the same day and highlighted communication as a key factor in making it go smoothly, according to a study.
“Cataracts are predominantly age related, and as the population ages, the need for treatment continues to rise,” Trang Truong Laursen, a PhD student at Odense University Hospital, Denmark, and colleagues wrote in Global Journal of Cataract Surgery and Research in Ophthalmology. “In response, health care systems have explored innovative solutions, such as same-day bilateral cataract surgery, which

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — In this Healio video, Alissa J. Cooper, MD, a thoracic oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses research on the effect of low-dose CT screening in a non-risk-based population.
Results of a prospective, interventional study presented at European Lung Cancer Congress showed a significant reduction in lung cancer mortality associated with a one-time low-dose CT screening.
“This is very provocative,” Cooper said. “This really indicates that maybe screening should be even more widely applied than we are performing currently.”

After a top U.S. health official blocked the publication of a study showing that COVID-19 vaccines prevent hospitalization, an emergency physician in Boston obtained the study and published it online himself.
Jeremy Faust, MD, MS, attending physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, published the study on his popular Substack, “Inside Medicine,” after obtaining a copy through an anonymous source.
“I want people to ask why the government is suddenly not publishing its own noncontroversial science,” Faust told Healio.
The study showed that that
