Abstract
Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have achieved a burning plasma state with neutron yields exceeding 170 kJ, roughly 3 times the prior record and a necessary stage for igniting plasmas. The results are achieved despite multiple sources of degradations that lead to high variability in performance. Results shown here, for the first time, include an empirical correction factor for mode-2 asymmetry in the burning plasma regime in addition to previously determined corrections for radiative mix and mode-1. Analysis shows that including these three corrections alone accounts for the measured fusion performance variability in the two highest performing experimental campaigns on the NIF to within error. Here we quantify the performance sensitivity to mode-2 symmetry in the burning plasma regime and apply the results, in the form of an empirical correction to a 1D performance model. Furthermore, we find the sensitivity to mode-2 determined through a series of integrated 2D radiation hydrodynamic simulations to be consistent with the experimentally determined sensitivity only when including alpha-heating.

Abstract
Purpose To determine which donor characteristics, like previous diseases and surgeries, influence the severity of the DM/endothelial lamella preparation prior to DMEK-surgery. Patients and Methods Retrospective cross-sectional single-center study is presented. Eight hundred and forty-six eyes with DMEK-surgery between 01/2018 and 01/2021 performed at the University Hospital Cologne, Germany, were included. Information regarding the donors' previous diseases and surgeries were provided by a large database of a cornea bank (Multi Tissue Bank Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) and merged with the Cologne DMEK database, which contains information regarding preparation characteristics of the surgeon-prepared graft directly preoperatively. Three preparation groups (easy, difficult and very difficult) were correlated to the donors' previous diseases and surgeries. The following characteristics were used for the assignment in one of the three groups: stripping difficulty, rolling and staining behavior, central and peripheral adherences, tissue fragility and DM-splitting. Results Significant risk factors for DM-splitting were diabetes mellitus (DMel) type II, heart failure, chronic kidney disease and previous cataract surgery (p=0.022, p=0.012; p=0.047 and p<0.001 respectively). Previous DMel (especially type 2) was significantly associated with the occurrence of central adherences (p=0.009). Several cardiovascular diseases (p-values between <0.001 and p=0.038), DMel type II, chronic kidney disease and previous cataract-surgery were associated with peripheral adherences (p=0.004; p=0.020 and p<0.001 respectively). Furthermore, pseudophakic donor eyes presented a higher degree of fragility of the graft (p<0.001). Age was a significant risk factor for difficult preparation (p<0.001). The staining of the graft was poorer in donors with chronic kidney disease (p=0.037). Conclusion Donor diabetes mellitus type 2, heart failure, previous cataract surgery, chronic kidney disease and age are associated with a difficult DMEK graft preparation. For every one-year increment in donor age, the odds of having very difficult preparation were increased by 3%. Also, chronic kidney disease predisposes to a poor tissue staining with trypan blue during preparation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Good vision highly depends on the transparency of the cornea, which is the "windscreen" of the eye. In fact, corneal blindness due to transparency loss is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide, and corneal transplantation is the main cure. Importantly, the cornea is normally avascular but can secondarily be invaded by pathological (blood and lymphatic) vessels due to severe inflammation, and the survival prognosis of a corneal graft mainly depends on the preoperative vascular condition of the recipient's cornea. Whereas transplants placed into avascular recipient beds enjoy long-term survival rates of > 90%, survival rates significantly decrease in pathologically pre-vascularized, so-called high-risk recipients, which account for around 10% of all performed transplants in Germany and > 75% in lower and middle-income countries worldwide. METHODS This parallel-grouped, open-randomized, multicenter, prospective controlled exploratory investigator-initiated trial (IIT) intends to improve graft survival by preconditioning pathologically vascularized recipient corneas by (lymph)angioregressive treatment before high-risk corneal transplantation. For this purpose, corneal crosslinking (CXL) will be used, which has been shown to potently regress corneal blood and lymphatic vessels. Prior to transplantation, patients will be randomized into 2 groups: (1) CXL (intervention) or (2) no pretreatment (control). CXL will be repeated once if insufficient reduction of corneal neovascularization should be observed. All patients (both groups) will then undergo corneal transplantation. In the intervention group, remaining blood vessels will be additionally regressed using fine needle diathermy (on the day of transplantation). Afterwards, the incidence of graft rejection episodes will be evaluated for 24 months (primary endpoint). Overall graft survival, as well as regression of corneal vessels and/or recurrence, among other factors, will be analyzed (secondary endpoints). DISCUSSION Based on preclinical and early pilot clinical evidence, we want to test the novel concept of temporary (lymph)angioregressive pretreatment of high-risk eyes by CXL to promote subsequent corneal graft survival. So far, there is no evidence-based approach to reliably improve graft survival in the high-risk corneal transplantation setting available in clinical routine. If successful, this approach will be the first to promote graft survival in high-risk transplants. It will significantly improve vision and quality of life in patients suffering from corneal blindness. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05870566. Registered on 22 May 2023.

Abstract
On December 5, 2022, an indirect drive fusion implosion on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved a target gain G_{target} of 1.5. This is the first laboratory demonstration of exceeding "scientific breakeven" (or G_{target}>1) where 2.05 MJ of 351 nm laser light produced 3.1 MJ of total fusion yield, a result which significantly exceeds the Lawson criterion for fusion ignition as reported in a previous NIF implosion [H. Abu-Shawareb et al. (Indirect Drive ICF Collaboration), Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 075001 (2022)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.129.075001]. This achievement is the culmination of more than five decades of research and gives proof that laboratory fusion, based on fundamental physics principles, is possible. This Letter reports on the target, laser, design, and experimental advancements that led to this result.

Abstract
In this work we present the design of the first controlled fusion laboratory experiment to reach target gain G>1 N221204 (5 December 2022) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 065102 (2024)10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.065102], performed at the National Ignition Facility, where the fusion energy produced (3.15 MJ) exceeded the amount of laser energy required to drive the target (2.05 MJ). Following the demonstration of ignition according to the Lawson criterion N210808, experiments were impacted by nonideal experimental fielding conditions, such as increased (known) target defects that seeded hydrodynamic instabilities or unintentional low-mode asymmetries from nonuniformities in the target or laser delivery, which led to reduced fusion yields less than 1 MJ. This Letter details design changes, including using an extended higher-energy laser pulse to drive a thicker high-density carbon (also known as diamond) capsule, that led to increased fusion energy output compared to N210808 as well as improved robustness for achieving high fusion energies (greater than 1 MJ) in the presence of significant low-mode asymmetries. For this design, the burnup fraction of the deuterium and tritium (DT) fuel was increased (approximately 4% fuel burnup and a target gain of approximately 1.5 compared to approximately 2% fuel burnup and target gain approximately 0.7 for N210808) as a result of increased total (DT plus capsule) areal density at maximum compression compared to N210808. Radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of this design predicted achieving target gain greater than 1 and also the magnitude of increase in fusion energy produced compared to N210808. The plasma conditions and hotspot power balance (fusion power produced vs input power and power losses) using these simulations are presented. Since the drafting of this manuscript, the results of this paper have been replicated and exceeded (N230729) in this design, together with a higher-quality diamond capsule, setting a new record of approximately 3.88MJ of fusion energy and fusion energy target gain of approximately 1.9.

Abstract
An indirect-drive inertial fusion experiment on the National Ignition Facility was driven using 2.05 MJ of laser light at a wavelength of 351 nm and produced 3.1±0.16 MJ of total fusion yield, producing a target gain G=1.5±0.1 exceeding unity for the first time in a laboratory experiment [Phys. Rev. E 109, 025204 (2024)10.1103/PhysRevE.109.025204]. Herein we describe the experimental evidence for the increased drive on the capsule using additional laser energy and control over known degradation mechanisms, which are critical to achieving high performance. Improved fuel compression relative to previous megajoule-yield experiments is observed. Novel signatures of the ignition and burn propagation to high yield can now be studied in the laboratory for the first time.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) for treating remaining anterior corneal opacities after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS This cohort study analyzed 67 eyes of 66 patients undergoing PTK in addition to and after DMEK between 2012 and 2021 at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Cologne. Patients who were treated by PTK after previous DMEK on the same eye were included. The outcome parameters were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), changes in refraction, endothelial cell density, corneal densitometry, central corneal thickness, and total corneal higher order aberrations. Patients with visual limitations in addition to anterior opacification were analyzed separately for their visual outcome. Eyes with severe visual limitations that have a very limited visual potential were excluded from the study. In addition, patients with not at least 1 postoperative follow-up examination were excluded from the study. RESULTS In this study, 67 eyes of 66 patients met all inclusion criteria. The median follow-up period was 13.1 (quartiles: 4.1; 30.7; interquartile range 26.6) months. The mean (±SD) BCVA improved from (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) 0.54 (±0.32) to 0.38 (±0.27) at the first postoperative visit ( P < 0.001) and remained significantly improved at all follow-up examinations compared with preoperative BCVA. Refraction and endothelial cell density did not change significantly after PTK. There was a significant decrease in corneal backscatter in the anterior corneal layer ( P < 0.001), and the total higher order aberration ( P = 0.02) and central corneal thickness were significantly reduced at the most recent postoperative visit ( P < 0.001). No immune reactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS Excimer laser PTK after DMEK for persisting anterior corneal opacities has the potential to significantly improve patients' vision without affecting refractive parameters or endothelial cell density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing corneal abrasion as part of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) under general anesthesia suffer from early burning pain postoperatively. This pain appears to be poorly treatable with systemic analgesics. This study aims to evaluate postoperative pain management using topical lidocaine gel after DMEK with iatrogenic corneal abrasion. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 28 consecutive patients undergoing DMEK with corneal abrasion from October 19, 2021, to November 12, 2021, at a German university hospital. Patients during week 1 and 2 received peri-operative standard pain treatment (cohort S) and additional local lidocaine gel during week 3 and 4 immediately postoperatively (cohort L). RESULTS 13 patients were included in cohort S and 15 patients in cohort L. At awakening all patients (100%) in cohort S reported burning pain, and six of 15 patients (40%) in cohort L reported burning pain. Burning pain scores were significantly lower in cohort L (p < 0.001 at awakening, p < 0.001 at 10 min, p < 0.001 at 20 min, p < 0.001 at 30 min, p = 0.007 at 40 min after awakening, and p < 0.001 at leaving recovery room). No significant differences between cohort S and cohort L were detected concerning surgical outcome during 1-month-follow-up (p = 0.901 for best corrected visual acuity). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing DMEK with corneal abrasion suffer significant pain in the recovery room. A single dose of topic lidocaine gel reduces the early postoperative burning pain sufficiently and does not affect the surgical outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The success of keratoplasty strongly depends on the health status of the transplanted endothelial cells. Donor corneal tissues are routinely screened for endothelial damage before shipment; however, surgical teams have currently no means of assessing the overall viability of corneal endothelium immediately prior to transplantation. The aim of this study is to validate a preoperative method of evaluating the endothelial health of donor corneal tissues, to assess the proportion of tissues deemed suitable for transplantation by the surgeons and to prospectively record the clinical outcomes of a cohort of patients undergoing keratoplasty in relation to preoperatively defined endothelial viability. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In this multicentre cohort study, consecutive patients undergoing keratoplasty (perforating keratoplasty, Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), ultra-thin DSAEK (UT-DSAEK) or Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty) will be enrolled and followed-up for 1 year. Before transplantation, the endothelial viability of the donor corneal tissue will be evaluated preoperatively through trypan blue staining and custom image analysis to estimate the overall percentage of trypan blue-positive areas (TBPAs), a proxy of endothelial damage. Functional and structural outcomes at the end of the follow-up will be correlated with preoperatively assessed TBPA values. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol will be reviewed by the ethical committees of participating centres, with the sponsor centre issuing the final definitive approval. The results will be disseminated on ClinicalTrials.gov, at national and international conferences, by partner patient groups and in open access, peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05847387.

Abstract
Historically, the eye has been considered as an organ free of lymphatic vessels. In recent years, however, it became evident, that lymphatic vessels or lymphatic-like vessels contribute to several ocular pathologies at various peri- and intraocular locations. The aim of this review is to outline the pathogenetic role of ocular lymphatics, the respective molecular mechanisms and to discuss current and future therapeutic options based thereon. We will give an overview on the vascular anatomy of the healthy ocular surface and the molecular mechanisms contributing to corneal (lymph)angiogenic privilege. In addition, we present (i) current insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms occurring during pathological neovascularization of the cornea triggered e.g. by inflammation or trauma, (ii) the role of lymphatic vessels in different ocular surface pathologies such as dry eye disease, corneal graft rejection, ocular graft versus host disease, allergy, and pterygium, (iii) the involvement of lymphatic vessels in ocular tumors and metastasis, and (iv) the novel role of the lymphatic-like structure of Schlemm's canal in glaucoma. Identification of the underlying molecular mechanisms and of novel modulators of lymphangiogenesis will contribute to the development of new therapeutic targets for the treatment of ocular diseases associated with pathological lymphangiogenesis in the future. The preclinical data presented here outline novel therapeutic concepts for promoting transplant survival, inhibiting metastasis of ocular tumors, reducing inflammation of the ocular surface, and treating glaucoma. Initial data from clinical trials suggest first success of novel treatment strategies to promote transplant survival based on pretransplant corneal lymphangioregression.

Abstract
The change in the power balance, temporal dynamics, emission weighted size, temperature, mass, and areal density of inertially confined fusion plasmas have been quantified for experiments that reach target gains up to 0.72. It is observed that as the target gain rises, increased rates of self-heating initially overcome expansion power losses. This leads to reacting plasmas that reach peak fusion production at later times with increased size, temperature, mass and with lower emission weighted areal densities. Analytic models are consistent with the observations and inferences for how these quantities evolve as the rate of fusion self-heating, fusion yield, and target gain increase. At peak fusion production, it is found that as temperatures and target gains rise, the expansion power loss increases to a near constant ratio of the fusion self-heating power. This is consistent with models that indicate that the expansion losses dominate the dynamics in this regime.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a novel corneal surgical technique combining Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) with grafting of allogeneic limbal stem cells (limbo-DALK) as treatment for eyes with corneal stromal pathology and limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). METHODS This is a series of six Limbo-DALKs in five eyes of five patients. One patient received a second limbo-DALK after graft failure following the first procedure. Two of the donor corneae were HLA matched. Clinical records of included patients were reviewed retrospectively. All patients had been diagnosed with LSCD due to various pathologies. Analysed data included demographic data, diagnoses and clinical history, graft visualization and thickness measurements by anterior segment OCT, visual acuity and epithelial status. Follow-up visits were 6 weeks and 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months postoperatively with final suture removal at 18 months and further follow-up examinations twice yearly thereafter. RESULTS Two grafts showed total epithelial closure after 2 days, two after 14 days. In one eye, full closure of corneal epithelium did not occur after the first limbo-DALK, but could be achieved one month after second limbo-DALK. No endothelial graft rejection was seen. CONCLUSION Based on data from this pilot series, limbo-DALK seems to be a novel viable surgical approach for eyes with severe LSCD and stromal corneal pathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to quantify preparation difficulties and complications during DMEK graft preparation and their influence on clinical outcome. METHODS A retrospective evaluation of 214 consecutive DMEK surgeries from the prospective Cologne DMEK database was performed between July 2018 and December 2019. Preparation conditions (such as central and peripheral adherences, tissue fragility, and Descemet membrane splitting) were quantified and divided into 3 groups: easy, difficult, and very difficult preparation. At follow-up (3, 6, and 12 months after DMEK), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, endothelial cell count (ECC), and rebubbling rates were evaluated and compared between groups. RESULTS An easy preparation was possible in 41.6% of cases (group 1, n = 89), a difficult preparation of the DMEK graft occurred in 30.8% (group 2, n = 66), and a very difficult preparation occurred in 27.6% (group 3, n = 59). There was no difference between groups for best spectacle-corrected visual acuity at 3, 6, and 12 months ( P = 0.179, P = 0.325, and P = 0.682, respectively) or for ECC at 3 and 6 months ( P = 0.537 and P = 0.606, respectively). Only at 12 months, the ECC was slightly significant between groups ( P = 0.045). Regarding the rebubbling rate, there was no difference ( P = 0.585). 17.9% of eyes from group 1, 25.7% of eyes from group 2, and 23.7% of eyes from group 3 received at least 1 rebubbling. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that difficult preparation conditions do not lead to any worsening of visual acuity or rebubbling rate in the 1-year outcome after DMEK. The endothelial cell density at 12 months showed slightly poorer results in the cases of very difficult preparation.

Abstract
The gravitational pressure in many astrophysical objects exceeds one gigabar (one billion atmospheres)1-3, creating extreme conditions where the distance between nuclei approaches the size of the K shell. This close proximity modifies these tightly bound states and, above a certain pressure, drives them into a delocalized state4. Both processes substantially affect the equation of state and radiation transport and, therefore, the structure and evolution of these objects. Still, our understanding of this transition is far from satisfactory and experimental data are sparse. Here we report on experiments that create and diagnose matter at pressures exceeding three gigabars at the National Ignition Facility5 where 184 laser beams imploded a beryllium shell. Bright X-ray flashes enable precision radiography and X-ray Thomson scattering that reveal both the macroscopic conditions and the microscopic states. The data show clear signs of quantum-degenerate electrons in states reaching 30 times compression, and a temperature of around two million kelvins. At the most extreme conditions, we observe strongly reduced elastic scattering, which mainly originates from K-shell electrons. We attribute this reduction to the onset of delocalization of the remaining K-shell electron. With this interpretation, the ion charge inferred from the scattering data agrees well with ab initio simulations, but it is significantly higher than widely used analytical models predict6.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm enabling corneal surgeons to predict the probability of rebubbling after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) from images obtained using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Anterior segment OCT data of patients undergoing DMEK by 2 different DMEK surgeons (C.C. and B.B.; University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany) were extracted from the prospective Cologne DMEK database. An AI algorithm was trained by using a data set of C.C. to detect graft detachments and predict the probability of a rebubbling. The architecture of the AI model used in this study was called EfficientNet. This algorithm was applied to OCT scans of patients, which were operated by B.B. The transferability of this algorithm was analyzed to predict a rebubbling after DMEK. RESULTS The algorithm reached an area under the curve of 0.875 (95% confidence interval: 0.880-0.929). The cutoff value based on the Youden index was 0.214, and the sensitivity and specificity for this value were 78.9% (67.6%-87.7%) and 78.6% (69.5%-86.1%). CONCLUSIONS The development of AI algorithms allows good transferability to other surgeons reaching a high accuracy in predicting rebubbling after DMEK based on OCT image data.

Abstract
PURPOSE Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) accounts for >50% of all corneal transplants in Germany. So far, no data from such a large multicenter study have been published. METHODS This retrospective study included 3200 DMEKs at seven departments performed for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) or bullous keratopathy (BK). We evaluated best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR), endothelial cell density (ECD, cells/mm2 ), minimal corneal thickness (CT, μm), rebubbling-, primary transplant failure- and immune reaction-rate. Changes over time were evaluated by linear mixed models for repeated measures and correlation with case number by center by weighted linear regression. RESULTS For patients without vision-limiting comorbidities (74% of all analysed eyes, n = 2270), mean BCVA improved from 0.6 ± 0.4 logMAR to 0.2 ± 0.2 logMAR 6 months (p < 0.001, n = 1441) and 0.1 ± 0.2 logMAR 12 months (p = 0.001, n = 1402) postoperatively. BK- had a worse BCVA compared to FECD-patients (0.3 ± 0.5 vs. 0.1 ± 0.2 logMAR [p < 0.001] at 1 year). ECD declined from 2465 ± 259 cells/mm2 (n = 2876 preoperatively) to 1587 ± 433 cells/mm2 after 12 months (p < 0.001, n = 1237). Mean rebubbling rate was 0.4 ± 0.7/eye. 784 eyes (25%) received at least one rebubbling. More rebubblings correlated with a lower ECD, a worse BCVA, a higher CT, and higher transplant failure and rejection rates (p < 0.001, p = 0.013 for BCVA at 12 months). A single rebubbling did not influence the BCVA (p = 0.785). Graft failure rate was 3% (n = 67), rejection rate 1.5% (n = 48). CONCLUSION Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty increases visual acuity with low transplant failure- and rejection-rates. FECD has a better outcome than BK. Since a quarter of all patients need a rebubbling, this should be included in the informed consent. Remarkably, one rebubbling has no influence on the outcome.

Abstract
In order to understand how close current layered implosions in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion are to ignition, it is necessary to measure the level of alpha heating present. To this end, pairs of experiments were performed that consisted of a low-yield tritium-hydrogen-deuterium (THD) layered implosion and a high-yield deuterium-tritium (DT) layered implosion to validate experimentally current simulation-based methods of determining yield amplification. The THD capsules were designed to reduce simultaneously DT neutron yield (alpha heating) and maintain hydrodynamic similarity with the higher yield DT capsules. The ratio of the yields measured in these experiments then allowed the alpha heating level of the DT layered implosions to be determined. The level of alpha heating inferred is consistent with fits to simulations expressed in terms of experimentally measurable quantities and enables us to infer the level of alpha heating in recent high-performing implosions.

Abstract
We present measurements of ice-ablator mix at stagnation of inertially confined, cryogenically layered capsule implosions. An ice layer thickness scan with layers significantly thinner than used in ignition experiments enables us to investigate mix near the inner ablator interface. Our experiments reveal for the first time that the majority of atomically mixed ablator material is "dark" mix. It is seeded by the ice-ablator interface instability and located in the relatively cooler, denser region of the fuel assembly surrounding the fusion hot spot. The amount of dark mix is an important quantity as it is thought to affect both fusion fuel compression and burn propagation when it turns into hot mix as the burn wave propagates through the initially colder fuel region surrounding an igniting hot spot. We demonstrate a significant reduction in ice-ablator mix in the hot-spot boundary region when we increase the initial ice layer thickness.

Abstract
The application of an external 26 Tesla axial magnetic field to a D_{2} gas-filled capsule indirectly driven on the National Ignition Facility is observed to increase the ion temperature by 40% and the neutron yield by a factor of 3.2 in a hot spot with areal density and temperature approaching what is required for fusion ignition [1]. The improvements are determined from energy spectral measurements of the 2.45 MeV neutrons from the D(d,n)^{3}He reaction, and the compressed central core B field is estimated to be ∼4.9 kT using the 14.1 MeV secondary neutrons from the D(T,n)^{4}He reactions. The experiments use a 30 kV pulsed-power system to deliver a ∼3 μs current pulse to a solenoidal coil wrapped around a novel high-electrical-resistivity AuTa_{4} hohlraum. Radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations are consistent with the experiment.

Abstract
A system of x-ray imaging spectrometer (XRIS) has been implemented at the OMEGA Laser Facility and is capable of spatially and spectrally resolving x-ray self-emission from 5 to 40 keV. The system consists of three independent imagers with nearly orthogonal lines of sight for 3D reconstructions of the x-ray emission region. The distinct advantage of the XRIS system is its large dynamic range, which is enabled by the use of tantalum apertures with radii ranging from 50 μm to 1 mm, magnifications of 4 to 35×, and image plates with any filtration level. In addition, XRIS is capable of recording 1-100's images along a single line of sight, facilitating advanced statistical inference on the detailed structure of the x-ray emitting regions. Properties such as P0 and P2 of an implosion are measured to 1% and 10% precision, respectively. Furthermore, Te can be determined with 5% accuracy.

Abstract
We report on measurements of the ion-electron energy-transfer cross section utilizing low-velocity ion stopping in high-energy-density plasmas at the OMEGA laser facility. These measurements utilize a technique that leverages the close relationship between low-velocity ion stopping and ion-electron equilibration. Shock-driven implosions of capsules filled with D^{3}He gas doped with a trace amount of argon are used to generate densities and temperatures in ranges from 1×10^{23} to 2×10^{24} cm^{-3} and from 1.4 to 2.5 keV, respectively. The energy loss of 1-MeV DD tritons and 3.7-MeV D^{3}He alphas that have velocities lower than the average velocity of the thermal electrons is measured. The energy loss of these ions is used to determine the ion-electron energy-transfer cross section, which is found to be in excellent agreement with quantum-mechanical calculations in the first Born approximation. This result provides an experimental constraint on ion-electron energy transfer in high-energy-density plasmas, which impacts the modeling of alpha heating in inertial confinement fusion implosions, magnetic-field advection in stellar atmospheres, and energy balance in supernova shocks.

Abstract
Target preheat by superthermal electrons from laser-plasma instabilities is a major obstacle to achieving thermonuclear ignition via direct-drive inertial confinement fusion at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Polar-direct-drive surrogate plastic implosion experiments were performed on the NIF to quantify preheat levels at an ignition-relevant scale and develop mitigation strategies. The experiments were used to infer the hot-electron temperature, energy fraction, and divergence, and to directly measure the spatial hot-electron energy deposition profile inside the imploding shell. Silicon layers buried in the ablator are shown to mitigate the growth of laser-plasma instabilities and reduce preheat, providing a promising path forward for ignition designs at an on-target intensity of about 10^{15}W/cm^{2}.

Abstract
Plastic deformation of samples compressed to Mbar pressures at high strain rates at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) forms the basis of ongoing material strength experiments in conditions relevant to meteor impacts, geophysics, armor development, and inertial confinement fusion. Hard x-ray radiography is the primary means of measuring the evolution of these samples, typically employing a slit-collimated high-Z microdot driven by the NIF laser to generate >40 keV x rays [E. Gumbrell et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 89, 10G118 (2018) and C. M. Huntington et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 89, 10G121 (2018)]. Alternatively, a dysprosium "micro-flag" target driven by the Advanced Radiographic Capability laser (∼2 kJ, 10 ps) can deliver significantly higher spatiotemporal resolution [M. P. Hill et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 92, 033535 (2021)], especially in high-opacity samples. Initial experiments revealed problematic brightness and spectral gradients from this source, but by radiographing a set of diamond-turned, 105 µm-thick Pb test objects and supported by simulations using the 3D Monte Carlo code GEANT4, these geometry-dependent gradients across the field of view are quantified and mitigation strategies are assessed. In addition to significantly enhancing the modulation transfer function compared to the existing system, image stacking from multiple layers of image plate is shown to almost double the signal to noise ratio that will reduce uncertainties in future dynamic strength experiments.

Abstract
A platform has been developed to study laser-direct-drive energy coupling at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) using a plastic sphere target irradiated in a polar-direct-drive geometry to launch a spherically converging shock wave. To diagnose this system evolution, eight NIF laser beams are directed onto a curved Cu foil to generate Heα line emission at a photon energy of 8.4 keV. These x rays are collected by a 100-ps gated x-ray imager in the opposing port to produce temporally gated radiographs. The platform is capable of acquiring images during and after the laser drive launches the shock wave. A backlighter profile is fit to the radiographs, and the resulting transmission images are Abel inverted to infer radial density profiles of the shock front and to track its temporal evolution. The measurements provide experimental shock trajectories and radial density profiles that are compared to 2D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations using cross-beam energy transfer and nonlocal heat-transport models.

Abstract
Corneal blindness affects over 8 million adults and 1.5 million children worldwide, making it one of the top 5 causes of blindness. Depending on the recipient's corneal condition corneal transplantation may not be a viable treatment option. In such seemingly no-alternative situations, keratoprosthesis implantation can be an option in some patients. In terms of numbers, two types of keratoprostheses are currently used: 1. Keratoprostheses with biological haptics made of tooth or tibia bone. 2. The Boston type I-keratoprosthesis. Both types have optics made of PMMA. The most common complication is the formation of an optically disturbing retroprosthetic membrane behind the optic, which can usually be removed with YAG laser. Causes of blindness after keratoprosthesis implantation are glaucoma, endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. The extrusion rate of the Boston type I-keratoprosthesis seems to be higher than after keratoprosthesis implantation with biological haptic. Autoimmunological corneal diseases have increased extrusion rates and higher rates of endophthalmitis when compared to non-autoimmunological diseases. Visual outcomes after keratoprosthesis implantation are potentially very good and usually limited by extracorneal concomitant diseases. Advances in glaucoma diagnostic (OCT, implantation of intraocular pressure sensors), standard glaucoma prophylaxis by medication or surgery, modern retinal surgery and better treatment options in case of extrusion improve the prognosis of keratoprosthesis surgery. Still, the ideal technique for permanent anchoring of artifical optics in biological tissue has yet to be developed.

Abstract
For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the Lawson criterion, an ignited plasma is one where the fusion heating power is high enough to overcome all the physical processes that cool the fusion plasma, creating a positive thermodynamic feedback loop with rapidly increasing temperature. In inertially confined fusion, ignition is a state where the fusion plasma can begin "burn propagation" into surrounding cold fuel, enabling the possibility of high energy gain. While "scientific breakeven" (i.e., unity target gain) has not yet been achieved (here target gain is 0.72, 1.37 MJ of fusion for 1.92 MJ of laser energy), this Letter reports the first controlled fusion experiment, using laser indirect drive, on the National Ignition Facility to produce capsule gain (here 5.8) and reach ignition by nine different formulations of the Lawson criterion.

Abstract
An inertial fusion implosion on the National Ignition Facility, conducted on August 8, 2021 (N210808), recently produced more than a megajoule of fusion yield and passed Lawson's criterion for ignition [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 075001 (2022)10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.075001]. We describe the experimental improvements that enabled N210808 and present the first experimental measurements from an igniting plasma in the laboratory. Ignition metrics like the product of hot-spot energy and pressure squared, in the absence of self-heating, increased by ∼35%, leading to record values and an enhancement from previous experiments in the hot-spot energy (∼3×), pressure (∼2×), and mass (∼2×). These results are consistent with self-heating dominating other power balance terms. The burn rate increases by an order of magnitude after peak compression, and the hot-spot conditions show clear evidence for burn propagation into the dense fuel surrounding the hot spot. These novel dynamics and thermodynamic properties have never been observed on prior inertial fusion experiments.

Abstract
We present the design of the first igniting fusion plasma in the laboratory by Lawson's criterion that produced 1.37 MJ of fusion energy, Hybrid-E experiment N210808 (August 8, 2021) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 075001 (2022)10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.075001]. This design uses the indirect drive inertial confinement fusion approach to heat and compress a central "hot spot" of deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel using a surrounding dense DT fuel piston. Ignition occurs when the heating from absorption of α particles created in the fusion process overcomes the loss mechanisms in the system for a duration of time. This letter describes key design changes which enabled a ∼3-6× increase in an ignition figure of merit (generalized Lawson criterion) [Phys. Plasmas 28, 022704 (2021)1070-664X10.1063/5.0035583, Phys. Plasmas 25, 122704 (2018)1070-664X10.1063/1.5049595]) and an eightfold increase in fusion energy output compared to predecessor experiments. We present simulations of the hot-spot conditions for experiment N210808 that show fundamentally different behavior compared to predecessor experiments and simulated metrics that are consistent with N210808 reaching for the first time in the laboratory "ignition."

Abstract
ZusammenfassungEine Vielzahl an Hornhauterkrankungen geht mit einem hohen Versagensrisiko von
Hornhauttransplantaten einher. Häufig handelt es sich um Patienten mit
beidseitig hornhautbedingter Blindheit ohne Aussicht auf Besserung. In diesen,
eigentlich aussichtslosen Situationen können Keratoprothesen häufig sehr
schnelle und erstaunliche Sehverbesserungen erzielen, die aber mit einem hohen
Risiko für schwerwiegende Komplikationen erkauft werden.

Abstract
In laser-driven implosions for laboratory fusion, the comparison of hot-spot x-ray yield to neutron production can serve to infer hot-spot mix. For high-performance direct-drive implosions, this ratio depends sensitively on the degree of equilibration between the ion and electron fluids. A scaling for x-ray yield as a function of neutron yield and characteristic ion and electron hot-spot temperatures is developed on the basis of simulations with varying degrees of equilibration. We apply this model to hot-spot x-ray measurements of direct-drive cryogenic implosions typical of the direct-drive designs with best ignition metrics. The comparison of the measured x-ray and neutron yields indicates that hot-spot mix, if present, is below a sensitivity estimated as ∼2% by-atom mix of ablator plastic into the hot spot.

Abstract
Central subendothelial geographic deposits are formed as a fibrillar layer (FL) in advanced Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Previous studies demonstrated a significant decrease in corneal endothelial cell (CEC) density and an increase in focal corneal backscatter in the FL area. The present study investigated the association of the FL with edema formation and its localization. Patients (n = 96) presenting for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for advanced FECD were included. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy with FECD grading was followed by Scheimpflug imaging with en face backscatter analysis and pachymetric analysis. FL dimensions were measured, and correlation with pachymetric values was performed. An FL was detected in 74% of all eyes (n = 71). Pachymetric values in FL-positive versus FL-negative eyes were for corneal thickness at the apex (ACT) 614 ± 52 µm and 575 ± 46 µm (p = 0.001), for peripheral corneal thickness at 1 mm (PCT1mm) 616 ± 50 µm and 580 ± 44 µm (p = 0.002), for PCT2mm 625 ± 48 µm and 599 ± 41 µm (p = 0.017), for PCT3mm 651 ± 46 µm and 635 ± 40 µm (p = 0.128) and for PCT4mm 695 ± 52 µm and 686 ± 43 µm (p = 0.435), respectively. Correlation analysis indicated a weak correlation for the FL maximum vertical caliper diameter with ACT and PCT1mm values but no further relevant correlations. In FL-positive eyes, increased focal corneal backscatter and increased corneal thickness showed primarily central and inferotemporal localization. In conclusion, Scheimpflug imaging shows an association of the FL with increased corneal thickness in advanced FECD and shows localization of the FL and increased corneal thickness in the central and inferotemporal region. This may provide important information for progression assessment and therapeutic decision making in FECD patients in the future.

Abstract
Evolution of the hot spot plasma conditions was measured using high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility. The capsules were filled with DD gas with trace levels of Kr and had either a high-density-carbon (HDC) ablator or a tungsten (W)-doped HDC ablator. Time-resolved measurement of the Kr Heβ spectra, absolutely calibrated by a simultaneous time-integrated measurement, allows inference of the electron density and temperature through observing Stark broadening and the relative intensities of dielectronic satellites. By matching the calculated hot spot emission using a collisional-radiative code to experimental observations, the hot spot size and areal density are determined. These advanced spectroscopy techniques further reveal the effect of W dopant in the ablator on the hot spot parameters for their improved implosion performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare two surgical treatment options for acute corneal hydrops in keratoconus: Mini-DMEK versus predescemetal sutures. METHODS Sixteen patients were treated by either Mini-Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (Mini-DMEK) (n = 7, group 1) or predescemetal sutures (n = 9, group 2) early after onset of acute hydrops. Visual acuity, maximum corneal thickness (SD-OCT) in the affected oedematous area, complications and recurrence rates were retrospectively compared between both groups. Measurements were taken immediately preoperatively as well as 1 day, 1 week and 1 month postoperatively (Table 1). RESULTS Both groups showed reductions in corneal thickness and increased visual acuity shortly after surgery. In group 1 (average age 33 years ± 7 years), the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) increased from logMAR 1.65 ± 0.7 before Mini-DMEK to logMAR 0.93 ± 0.6 30 days after Mini-DMEK (p = 0.046). During that period, maximum corneal thickness decreased from 1159 ± 338 µm before surgery to 531 ± 75 µm after Mini-DMEK (p = 0.046). Patients from group 2 (average age 34 ± 10 years) had a BCVA of logMAR 1.59 ± 0.8 which increased to logMAR 0.97 ± 0.5 (p = 0.014) 30 days after surgery. At the same time, the preoperative maximum corneal thickness decreased from 1439 ± 272 µm to 476 ± 162 µm (p = 0.014). There was no difference in corneal thickness or BCVA one month after the surgical intervention between both groups (p = 0.394 and p = 0.871). CONCLUSIONS Both techniques, Mini-DMEK and predescemetal sutures, are effective in the treatment of an acute hydrops in keratoconus. Mini-DMEK appears to be beneficial in large DM tears.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of phakic and pseudophakic eyes treated by Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) versus DMEK combined with cataract surgery (triple DMEK). METHODS Retrospective cohort study based on the prospective Cologne DMEK data base. This study is a single-center analysis of 62 eyes undergoing phakic (age mean ± SD 52 ± 6.43), 518 eyes undergoing pseudophakic (73.5 ± 8.57), and 557 eyes undergoing triple DMEK (67.93 ± 8.57). Outcome measures were changes in best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), central corneal thickness, endothelial cell density (ECD), rebubbling rates within the first year after surgery, and the need for cataract surgery within the first 2 years after phakic DMEK. RESULTS The preoperative BSCVA (mean ± SD; logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) was 0.30 ± 0.22 in the phakic, 0.63 ± 0.45 in the pseudophakic, and 0.44 ± 0.30 in the triple DMEK group (P < 0.001), which changed to 0.09 ± 0.12, 0.14 ± 0.1, and 0.1 ± 0.1 (P < 0.001) 1 year after surgery, respectively. There was no difference in central corneal thickness (P = 0.929) and endothelial cell density (P = 0.606) 1 year postoperatively. Rebubbling rates in DMEK using SF6 20% for anterior chamber tamponade were not significantly different (P = 0.839). After phakic DMEK, 40% of eyes underwent cataract surgery within the second year. However, there was a high loss to follow-up in this group. CONCLUSIONS Phakic and triple DMEK procedures tend to have a better 1-year BSCVA than pseudophakic DMEK, with no differences in all other parameters analyzed. However, patients from the pseudophakic DMEK group were older and already had worse BSCVA before surgery.

Abstract
Inertial confinement fusion implosions designed to have minimal fluid motion at peak compression often show significant linear flows in the laboratory, attributable per simulations to percent-level imbalances in the laser drive illumination symmetry. We present experimental results which intentionally varied the mode 1 drive imbalance by up to 4% to test hydrodynamic predictions of flows and the resultant imploded core asymmetries and performance, as measured by a combination of DT neutron spectroscopy and high-resolution x-ray core imaging. Neutron yields decrease by up to 50%, and anisotropic neutron Doppler broadening increases by 20%, in agreement with simulations. Furthermore, a tracer jet from the capsule fill-tube perturbation that is entrained by the hot-spot flow confirms the average flow speeds deduced from neutron spectroscopy.

Abstract
Hot-spot shape and electron temperature (Te) are key performance metrics used to assess the efficiency of converting shell kinetic energy into hot-spot thermal energy in inertial confinement fusion implosions. X-ray penumbral imaging offers a means to diagnose hot-spot shape and Te, where the latter can be used as a surrogate measure of the ion temperature (Ti) in sufficiently equilibrated hot spots. We have implemented a new x-ray penumbral imager on OMEGA. We demonstrate minimal line-of-sight variations in the inferred Te for a set of implosions. Furthermore, we demonstrate spatially resolved Te measurements with an average uncertainty of 10% with 6 μm spatial resolution.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the long-term outcome of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) following failed penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS Retrospective review of 1840 consecutive DMEK surgeries from the prospective Cologne DMEK database performed between 07/2011 and 08/2017 at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Cologne. RESULTS Fifty-two eyes received a DMEK surgery after failed PK. Main indications for initial PK were Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (23.1%), keratoconus and herpetic keratitis (each 15.4%). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3, 6 and 12 months was 0.72 ± 0.39 (n = 33), 0.56 ± 0.36 (n = 32) and 0.38 ± 0.28 (n = 23), respectively. Two- and 3-year BCVA was 0.37 ± 0.21 (n = 21) and 0.32 ± 0.18 (n = 10). Mean improvement in visual outcome in logMAR lines was +4.3 ± 3.4 at 6 months, +5.0 ± 3.6 at 12 months, +6.0 ± 2.3 at 24 months and +5.4 ± 2.7 at 36 months, respectively. 59.6% received at least one rebubbling and 40.4% did not necessitate a rebubbling. Endothelial cell density (ECD)-decrease at 6 months was 36% (n = 17), 37% at 12 months (n = 17), 40% at 2 years (n = 8) and 32% at 3 years (n = 2). 34.6% of transplants needed a regraft. CONCLUSION Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a feasible treatment option after failed PK having a relatively good long-term outcome.

Abstract
Heart failure is a raising cause of mortality. Heart transplantation and ventricular assist device (VAD) support represent the only available lifelines for end stage disease. In the context of donor organ shortage, the future role of VAD as destination therapy is emerging. Yet, major drawbacks are connected to the long-term implantation of current devices. Poor VAD hemocompatibility exposes the patient to life-threatening events, including haemorrhagic syndromes and thrombosis. Here, we introduce a new concept of artificial support, the Hybrid Membrane VAD, as a first-of-its-kind pump prototype enabling physiological blood propulsion through the cyclic actuation of a hyperelastic membrane, enabling the protection from the thrombogenic interaction between blood and the implant materials. The centre of the luminal membrane surface displays a rationally-developed surface topography interfering with flow to support a living endothelium. The precast cell layer survives to a range of dynamically changing pump actuating conditions i.e., actuation frequency from 1 to 4 Hz, stroke volume from 12 to 30 mL, and support duration up to 313 min, which are tested both in vitro and in vivo, ensuring the full retention of tissue integrity and connectivity under challenging conditions. In summary, the presented results constitute a proof of principle for the Hybrid Membrane VAD concept and represent the basis for its future development towards clinical validation.

Abstract
Background/AimsTo analyse graft detachments prior to rebubbling, the influence of rebubbling on the postoperative outcome after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and the need for rebubbling on the contralateral eye.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, out of 1541 DMEKs, optical coherence tomography scans and clinical records of 499 eyes undergoing rebubbling after DMEK at the University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany, were examined. Main Outcome measures were (a) number, localisation and size of graft detachments; (b) influence of rebubbling/s on postoperative outcome after 12 months; and (c) rebubbling risk of the contralateral eye after DMEK.ResultsMean number of detachment areas was 2.02±0.9. Mean lateral diameter of all detachments was 4534.76±1920.83 μm. Mean axial diameter was 382.53±282.02 μm. Detachments were equally distributed over all regions of the cornea. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity ( BSCVA) after 12 months was 0.197±0.23 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, endothelial cell density (ECD) was 1575.21±397.71 cells/mm2and mean central corneal thickness (CCT) was 566.37±68.11 μm. BSCVA, CCT, ECD or endothelial cell loss of all rebubbled patients were not influenced by the number of rebubblings or the time between DMEK and rebubbling. Of the rebubbled patients, which received a DMEK subsequently on the other eye, 193 (58.8%) also received a rebubbling, which was significantly higher, when compared to the overall rebubbling rate of 32.3% (p=0.000).ConclusionsThe overall number of rebubblings has no influence on the postoperative outcome after DMEK, if a rebubbling becomes necessary. Patients who received a rebubbling on one eye have an elevated risk for a rebubbling on the fellow eye.

Abstract
This paper presents a study on hotspot parameters in indirect-drive, inertially confined fusion implosions as they proceed through the self-heating regime. The implosions with increasing nuclear yield reach the burning-plasma regime, hotspot ignition, and finally propagating burn and ignition. These implosions span a wide range of alpha heating from a yield amplification of 1.7-2.5. We show that the hotspot parameters are explicitly dependent on both yield and velocity and that by fitting to both of these quantities the hotspot parameters can be fit with a single power law in velocity. The yield scaling also enables the hotspot parameters extrapolation to higher yields. This is important as various degradation mechanisms can occur on a given implosion at fixed implosion velocity which can have a large impact on both yield and the hotspot parameters. The yield scaling also enables the experimental dependence of the hotspot parameters on yield amplification to be determined. The implosions reported have resulted in the highest yield (1.73×10^{16}±2.6%), yield amplification, pressure, and implosion velocity yet reported at the National Ignition Facility.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the risk factors for endothelial cell density (ECD) loss after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and analyse whether donor tissues from cold versus organ culture differ in terms of ECD loss after DMEK. Consecutive DMEK cases from a prospective database for Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy were retrospectively analysed between 2011 and 2016 at the University of Cologne, and the possible risk factors for ECD loss, including patient-related factors, type of tamponade (air or 20% sulphur hexafluoride gas), type of surgery (triple DMEK or DMEK alone), re-bubbling, immune rejection, and donor-related factors were determined. Eight hundred and forty-one eyes were selected. There was no significant difference in the best-corrected visual acuity (logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution) and corneal thickness (P = 0.540 and P = 0.667) between groups. Immune reactions were more common in cold cultures (P = 0.019), but ECD loss (1 year after DMEK) was greater in organ cultures (38.3 ± 0.8%) than in cold cultures (34.7 ± 1.4%) (P = 0.022). Only re-bubbling was significantly associated with ECD loss (P < 0.001). Re-bubbling was found to be a key factor for ECD loss at 1 year after DMEK.

Abstract
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a bilateral corneal endothelial disorder and the most common cause of corneal transplantation worldwide. Professor Ernst Fuchs described the first 13 cases of FECD more than 100 years ago. Since then, we have seen far-reaching progress in its diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnostics, new technologies enable the development of more accurate classification systems and the more detailed breakdown of the genetic basis of FECD. Laboratory studies help in deciphering the molecular pathomechanisms. The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques leads to a continuous improvement of the postoperative result. This review highlights and discusses clinical, genetic, pathophysiologic, and therapeutic aspects of this common and important corneal disorder.

Abstract
We present direct measurements of electron temperature variations within an inertially confined deuterium-tritium plasma caused by localized mix of higher-Z materials into the central hot spot. The data are derived from newly developed differentially filtered penumbral imaging of the bremsstrahlung continuum emission. Our analysis reveals distinct localized emitting features in the stagnated hot-spot plasma, and we infer spatial variations in the electron temperature: the mixed region is 660±130eV colder than the surrounding hot-spot plasma at 3.26±0.11keV. Our analysis of the energy flow shows that we measure approximately steady-state conditions where the radiative losses in the mix region are balanced by heat conduction from the surrounding hot deuterium-tritium plasma.

Abstract
In this work, we describe a microfluidic three-dimensional (3D) chondrocyte culture mimicking in vivo articular chondrocyte morphology, cell distribution, metabolism, and gene expression. This has been accomplished by establishing a physiologic nutrient diffusion gradient across the simulated matrix, while geometric design constraints of the microchambers drive native-like cellular behavior. Primary equine chondrocytes remained viable for the extended culture time of 3 weeks and maintained the low metabolic activity and high Sox9, aggrecan, and Col2 expression typical of articular chondrocytes. Our microfluidic 3D chondrocyte microtissues were further exposed to inflammatory cytokines to establish an animal-free, in vitro osteoarthritis model. Results of our study indicate that our microtissue model emulates the basic characteristics of native cartilage and responds to biochemical injury, thus providing a new foundation for exploration of osteoarthritis pathophysiology in both human and veterinary patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative pain following Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS Seventy-one patients completed perioperatively (day before surgery, day of surgery, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day after surgery) four different questionnaires (a hospital internal protocol, QUIPS, PainDETECT®, and SF36) regarding their pain and other clinical parameters such as constipation, tiredness, vertigo, sleep disorders, concentration disorders, nausea, and emesis. All standardised questionnaires were evaluated to quantify average pain intensity as well as maximum pain intensity (NRS, 0 [no pain] to 10 [maximal pain], respectively). Analgesic treatment and intraocular pressure (IOP) during the perioperative stay were documented. RESULTS Mean average pain intensity was 0.70 ± 1.64 before surgery, 1.97 ± 2.05 on the day of surgery, 1.39 ± 1.68 on day 1, 0.87 ± 1.36 on day 2, and 0.81 ± 1.24 on day 3 after surgery. Maximum pain intensity was 0.65 ± 1.81 before surgery, 3.35 ± 2.98 on the day of surgery, 2.68 ± 2.99 on day 1, 1.49 ± 2.15 on day 2, and 1.26 ± 2.02 on day 3 after surgery. During the first three postoperative days, over 90% of the patients stated no or well tolerable pain. Eighty-three percent had postoperatively no need for analgesics at all. On the first two postoperative days, maximum IOP correlated significantly with reported increased maximum pain intensity (p = 0.043 and p = 0.029, respectively). All patients had very little problems with constipation, tiredness, vertigo, sleep disorder, concentration disorders, nausea, and emesis. CONCLUSIONS DMEK is associated with low postoperative pain intensity. Strong pain increase may indicate IOP elevation and should be further investigated and treated.
