Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to observe the tilt and decentration of multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with optic capture in Berger space within 2 years after pediatric cataract surgery. METHODS This is a prospective observational study. The implantation of multifocal IOL (Tecnis ZMB00) with optic capture in Berger space was performed on 33 patients (48 eyes) with pediatric cataract at Qingdao Eye Hospital. Tilt and decentration of IOL was measured using Scheimpflug system (Pentacam) at 1 month and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS All the multifocal IOLs were successfully implanted in Berger space with optic capture and no visually significant complications were detected during the follow-up. The mean tilt of IOLs was 2.779° ± 0.950° in the vertical plane and 2.399° ± 0.898° in the horizontal plane at 1 month postoperatively, and the mean length of the decentration was 0.207 ± 0.081 mm in vertical plane and 0.211 ± 0.090 mm in the horizontal plane. Compared with 1 month after surgery, the angle of tilt decreased by a mean of 0.192° and decentration increased by a mean of 0.014 mm at the vertical meridian at 2 years postoperatively (P = 0.37 and P = 0.27, respectively), meanwhile, tilt increased by 0.265° and decentration increased by 0.012 mm at the horizontal meridian (P = 0.11 and P = 0.22, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The follow-up results suggest the tilt and decentration of multifocal IOL implantation with optic capture in Berger space remain stable in an acceptable range within 2 years after cataract surgery in children above the age of 5. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Qingdao Eye Hospital, and registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR identifier: 1900023155).

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the effect of decentration and tilt on the optical quality of monofocal and trifocal intraocular lenses (IOL). METHODS Optical quality of a monofocal IOL (AcrySof IQ SN60WF; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., USA) and a trifocal IOL (AcrySof IQ PanOptix; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., USA) was assessed using an in vitro optical bench (OptiSpheric IOL R&D; Trioptics GmbH, Germany). At apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm, modulation transfer function (MTF) at spatial frequency of 50 lp/mm, MTF curve and the United States Air Force (USAF) resolution test chart of the two IOLs were measured and compared at their focus with different degrees of decentration and tilt. Optical quality at infinity, 60 cm and 40 cm and the through-focus MTF curves were compared when the two IOLs were centered at apertures of 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. Spectral transmittance of the two IOLs was measured by the UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV 3300 PC; MAPADA, China). RESULTS The SN60WF and the PanOptix filtered blue light from 400 to 500 nm. Both IOLs at the far focus and the PanOptix at the intermediate focus showed a decrease in optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt. The PanOptix demonstrated enhanced optical quality compared to the previous gradient at the near focus at a decentration range of 0.3-0.7 mm with a 3.0 mm aperture, and 0.5 mm with a 4.5 mm aperture, whereas other conditions exhibited diminished optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt at the focus of both IOLs. When the two IOLs were centered, the SN60WF had better optical quality at infinity, while the PanOptix had better optical quality at 60 cm and 40 cm defocus. The optical quality of the SN60WF exceeded that of the PanOptix at far focus, with a 3 mm aperture decentration up to 0.7 mm and a 4.5 mm aperture decentration up to 0.3 mm; this observation held true for all tilts, irrespective of aperture size. As both decentration and tilt increased, the optical quality of the SN60WF deteriorated more rapidly than that of the PanOptix at the far focal point. CONCLUSIONS The SN60WF showed a decrease in optical quality with increasing decentration and tilt. Optical quality of the PanOptix at the near focus increased in some decentration conditions and decreased in some conditions, while it showed a decrease at the other focuses with increasing decentration. While tilt only had a negative effect on optical quality. When both IOLs were centered, the PanOptix provided a wider range of vision, while the SN60WF provided better far distance vision. At the far focus, the SN60WF has better resistance to tilt than the PanOptix, but the optical quality degrades more quickly when decentered and tilted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (PPCCC) on the positional stability of IOLs. METHODS This study is a prospective intra-individual comparative randomized controlled trial including 31 patients (62 eyes). Eyes of the same patient were randomly assigned to the PPCCC group (18 right eyes and 13 left eyes) or group without PPCCC (NPCCC group). Eyes in both groups were implanted with a one-piece foldable hydrophobic acrylic IOL via routine cataract surgery. Patients in the PPCCC group underwent additional manual PPCCC before IOL implantation. Examinations were performed 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. IOL tilt (x, y), decentration (x, y), anterior chamber depth (z) and refractive prediction error data were collected and analyzed with Pentacam. RESULTS Postoperatively, the range of IOL position change over 3 months in PPCCC group was comparable to NPCCC group, which indicated smaller value in every tilt and decentration index. PPCCC eyes showed comparable tilt and decentration with NPCCC eyes in this study endpoint: mean tilt (x, y), decentration (x, y) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were 1.04 ± 0.56°, 0.90 ± 0.64°, 0.239 ± 0.140 mm, 0.233 ± 0.133 mm and 4.01 ± 0.32 mm, respectively, in the PPCCC group vs. 1.09 ± 0.76°, 1.10 ± 0.82°, 0.252 ± 0.153 mm, 0.244 ± 0.155 mm and 4.01 ± 0.38 mm, respectively, in the NPCCC group. Refractive prediction error in the PPCCC group demonstrated a mild hyperopic shift vs. the NPCCC group (0.13 ± 0.50 vs. 0.05 ± 0.39; p = 0.208), and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) did not differ between the two groups (0.027 ± 0.014 vs. 0.059 ± 0.185; p = 0.377). CONCLUSIONS Comparable IOL tilt, decentration, ACD and refractive prediction error were observed in PPCCC eyes with that underwent routine cataract surgery. Little IOL position fluctuation and good visual acuity were shown in PPCCC group over time. TRAIL REGISTRATION The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Register Center on May 27th, 2020 (protocol code ChiCTR2000033304, 27/05/2020).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Manual wheelchair propulsion is widely accepted to be biomechanically inefficient, with a high prevalence of shoulder pain and injuries among users. Directional control during wheelchair movement is a major, yet largely overlooked source of energy loss: changing direction or maintaining straightforward motion on tilted surfaces requires unilateral braking. This study evaluates the efficiency of a novel steering-by-leaning mechanism that guides wheelchair turning through upper body leaning. METHODS 16 full-time wheelchair users and 15 able-bodied novices each completed 12 circuits of an adapted Illinois Agility Test-course that included tilted, straight, slalom, and 180° turning sections in a prototype wheelchair at a self-selected functional speed. Trials were alternated between conventional and steering-by-leaning modes while propulsion forces were recorded via instrumented wheelchair wheels. Time to completion, travelled distance, positive/negative power, and work done, were all calculated to allow comparison of the control modes using repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS Substantial average energy reductions of 51% (able-bodied group) and 35% (wheelchair user group) to complete the task were observed when using the steering-by-leaning system. Simultaneously, able-bodied subjects were approximately 23% faster whereby completion times did not differ for wheelchair users. Participants in both groups wheeled some 10% further with the novel system. Differences were most pronounced during turning and on tilted surfaces where the steering-by-leaning system removed the need for braking for directional control. CONCLUSIONS Backrest-actuated steering systems on manual wheelchairs can make a meaningful contribution towards reducing shoulder usage while contributing to independent living. Optimisation of propulsion techniques could further improve functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the outcomes of sutured transscleral fixation and sutureless intrascleral fixation for the treatment of a dislocated intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Thirty-five eyes of 35 patients who required IOL repositioning surgery due to IOL dislocation were included in this retrospective study. Sixteen eyes underwent two-point sutured transscleral fixation, eight eyes underwent one-point sutured transscleral fixation, and 11 eyes underwent sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation. The patients were followed for ≥ 12 months after repositioning surgery, and their postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The major cause of IOL dislocation was ocular blunt trauma (19/35, 54.3%). The mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved significantly after IOL repositioning (P = 0.022). The mean postoperative change in endothelial cell density (ECD) was - 4.5%. There were no significant differences in the changes in CDVA or ECD among the three groups with different repositioning techniques (both P > 0.1). The mean vertical tilt of the IOLs in all enrolled patients was significantly greater than the horizontal value (P = 0.001). The vertical tilt was greater in the two-point scleral fixation group than that in the sutureless intrascleral fixation group (P = 0.048). The mean decentration values in the one-point scleral fixation group in the horizontal and vertical directions were greater than those in the other two groups (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSION All three IOL repositioning techniques resulted in favorable ocular prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) method is an advanced quick method for contrast sensitivity function (CSF) evaluation. This study evaluated the contrast sensitivity (CS) of eyes undergoing cataract surgery with multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and its tolerance to IOL tilt and IOL decentration using the qCSF method. METHODS Patients undergoing uneventful phacoemulsification and a trifocal IOL (Zeiss AT LISA tri 839MP, Carl Zeiss, Germany) or an extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL (Tecnis Symfony ZXR00, Johnson & Johnsons, USA) implantation were included. Monocular contrast sensitivity was measured using the qCSF method at one month post-surgery. IOL tilt and decentration were measured using an optical aberrometer (OPD-Scan III, NIDEK, Japan). RESULTS Seventy-two patients/eyes with the 839MP IOL and 64 patients/eyes with the ZXR00 IOL were included. Area under the log CSF (AULCSF) and CS acuity did not differ significantly between the two groups. The ZXR00 IOL group showed better CS at 1 cpd (1.137 ± 0.164 vs. 1.030 ± 0.183 logCS) and 1.5 cpd (1.163 ± 0.163 vs. 1.071 ± 0.161 logCS), while the 839MP IOL group had better CS at 6 cpd (0.855 ± 0.187 vs. 0.735 ± 0.363 logCS). In the 839MP IOL group, all CSF metrics were negatively correlated with IOL tilt (all P < 0.05), while in the ZXR00 IOL group, the CS at 3 cpd had no significant correlation with IOL tilt (P > 0.05). Among myopic eyes, fewer CSF metrics were negatively correlated with IOL tilt in the ZXR00 IOL group than in the 839MP IOL group. No significant correlation was found between CSF metrics and IOL decentration. CONCLUSIONS The ZXR00 and the 839MP IOL groups presented comparable CSF. CS was negatively correlated with IOL tilt, instead of decentration in multifocal IOLs, particularly among myopic eyes. The ZXR00 IOL had better tolerance to IOL tilt in myopic eyes.

Abstract
Background To investigate the effects of lighting conditions and accommodation on the three-dimensional position of Visian implantable collamer lens (ICL V4c). Methods This observational study recruited 62 eyes of 31 myopia patients underwent ICL V4c implantation. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) assessed the anterior chamber depth (ACD), ACD-ICL (distance from the corneal endothelium to anterior surface of the ICL V4c), vault (distance between the posterior ICL V4c surface and anterior crystalline lens surface), and crystalline lens tilt under various lighting conditions and accommodation relative to the corneal topographic axis at one year after ICL V4c implantation. Baseline was defined as the scotopic condition, which was also the non-accommodative stimulus condition. The ICL V4c tilt was analyzed using MATLAB. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results The ACD-ICL values were similar under various lighting conditions (P = 0.978) but decreased during accommodation (P < 0.001). The vault was significantly smaller under mesopic and photopic conditions than the baseline (P = 0.044 and P < 0.001, respectively) but remained unchanged during accommodation (P = 0.058). The inferotemporal proportion of ICL V4c (88.7%, 55 eyes) and crystalline lens (74.2%, 46 eyes) tilts were not significantly different (P = 0.063). Crystalline lens under various lighting conditions and accommodation exhibited similar tilts. The vertical tilt of ICL V4c was significantly larger under photopic conditions than the baseline (P = 0.038). The horizontal and total tilts were significantly decreased during accommodation (P = 0.043 and 0.013, respectively). Conclusions The axial position of ICL V4c in the anterior chamber was stable under various lighting conditions. Lighting conditions and accommodation may influence vertical, horizontal and total tilts of ICL V4c.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of rotation and tilt on the radiographic teardrop distance (TD) on anteroposterior (AP) pelvis radiographs. METHODS Radiographic examination of a pelvis models was conducted utilizing increasing degrees of beam rotation and tilt on portable C-arm fluoroscopy. The TD, x-plane rotation (symphyseal-mid-sacrum distance (SMS)), and y-plane tilt (sacroiliac joint-symphysis distance (SIS)) were measured by four independent observers. Interobserver reliability was assessed using intraclass correlations. RESULTS TD was altered by less than 2 mm with up to 7.5° fluoroscopic rotation (SMS: 3 cm) and up to 30° of inlet and 15° of outlet (SIS: ± 3.3 cm). SMS distance effectively corresponded to the degree of rotation present (r = 1.00, CI: 0.97 to 1.00, p < 0.0001) and was strongly correlated to TD (r = -0.95, CI: -0.99 to -0.67, p = 0.001). SIS distance effectively corresponded to the degree of tilt present (r = -0.97, CI: -0.99 to -0.88, p < 0.0001) and was correlated to TD (r = 0.94, CI: 0.75 to 0.99, p = 0.0001). Linear regression models determined that, with every degree of rotation and tilt, TD was altered by 0.4 mm and 0.09 mm, respectively (p = 0.0004, r2 = 0.93 and p < 0.0001, r2 = 0.94, respectively). Interobserver reliability among observers was excellent (0.92). CONCLUSION The TD has excellent interobserver reliability and is minimally impacted by up to 7.5° of rotation, 30° inlet tilt, and 15° of outlet tilt. Utilization of these thresholds may ensure reliability of TD measurements when assessing pelvis stress radiographs.

Abstract
The vestibular end organs differ in terms of anatomical and physiological characteristics. Sensory modalities' stimuli including visual stimuli and vestibular sensation can influence these organs differently. This paper explores differences between vestibular responses to axial tilts in physical and virtual environments. Four passive whole-body movements (linear: up-down, and angular: yaw, pitch, and roll) were applied to twenty-seven healthy participants once using a hydraulic chair (physical) and once visually using a head-mounted display (virtual). Electrovestibulography (EVestG) was used as the outcome measure to investigate the magnitude of vestibular-response-change in both ears for physical and virtual stimuli. Three features including average action potential (AP) area, AP amplitude, and mean detected firing rate change were used as indices of response. The results show that for both physical and virtual stimuli (1) generally the pitch and roll tilts produce the largest EVestG changes compared to other tilts (2) roll and pitch tilt responses are not significantly different from each other and (3) right side and left side roll tilts' responses are not significantly different. The findings indicate although visually- and physically-induced vestibular responses are different in terms of afferent activity, visual stimuli can still result in distinct responses when exposed to different axial tilts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The focus of patella maltracking after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has traditionally been on patella polyethylene damage and failure mechanisms rather than functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of patellar tilt on patient reported outcomes (PROMS) after primary TKA performed with patellar resurfacing. METHODS A retrospective review using a single implant design was performed. Patella tilt was radiographically measured according to a standardized protocol. PROMS related to pain, function, and satisfaction were evaluated preoperatively and at minimum 1-year follow-up. RESULTS A total of 468 TKAs were included for analysis. Mean age and BMI were 64 years and 35 kg/m2; respectively while 63% of patients were female. The median follow-up period was 12.7 months. Overall, patellar tilt was corrected from a median of 5.0 degrees preoperatively to a median of 3.0 degrees postoperatively. Preoperative, postoperative, and the change in patellar tilt had no significant effects on PROMS at minimum 1-year follow-up (p ≥ 0.092). Satisfaction in knee function while getting out of bed was higher for patients with approximately the same patellar tilt before and after TKA compared to patients with an increase in lateral patellar tilt (95% vs 80%, p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS The range of patellar tilt studied in this cohort had little to no effect on PROMS. However, suboptimal patellar tracking may potentiate edge loading of the polyethylene and contribute to implant damage in the long-term. These results are helpful to focus efforts on the tibiofemoral articulation as the predominant determinant of patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of acetabular retroversion is sparsely investigated. It may be associated with increased anterior pelvic tilt. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with symptomatic and radiographically verified acetabular retroversion demonstrated increased anterior pelvic tilt compared to a control group, and furthermore to evaluate the prevalence of acetabular retroversion in the general population. METHODS Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs in standing position of 111 patients with acetabular retroversion prior to anteverting periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and 132 matched controls from the general Danish population were assessed. Pelvic tilt was assessed by the sacrococcygeal joint-symphysis distance and pelvic-tilt-ratio. Acetabular retroversion was defined as positive cross-over sign and posterior wall sign. Prior to assessments, interrater reliability analysis was performed. Measurements were agreed by two independent assessors. A nonparametric regression model was used to test between-group differences in median pelvic tilt. The prevalence was calculated as the ratio of subjects and hips with acetabular retroversion, respectively. RESULTS The patient group had significantly larger median anterior pelvic tilt of 14.3 mm in sacrococcygeal joint-symphysis distance and -0.08 in pelvic-tilt-ratio, compared to controls. The prevalence of subjects in the general population with either unilateral or bilateral acetabular retroversion was 24% and 18% for all hips. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrated that patients with symptomatic acetabular retroversion have increased anterior pelvic tilt compared to the general population. Radiographic sign of acetabular retroversion was highly prevalent in the general population. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE Increased anterior pelvic tilt should be considered when diagnosing and treating patients with hip pain, as symptoms may be related to the functional position of the pelvis and not necessarily solely come from the radiographic verified acetabular retroversion.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of capsular tension rings with multifunctional lens position and optical outcomes. METHODS We defined multifunctional lens as more than improving vision, but also to restore visual quality. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Scopus were searched for English-language articles published up to November 11, 2020. Randomized controlled trials and comparative prospective clinical trials were selected. Data extraction was completed by independent pairs of reviewers. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk-of-bias tool for RCTs and select items from the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for comparative prospective clinical trials. RESULTS A total of 5 randomized controlled trials and 6 prospective comparative clinical trials were included. One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine eyes of implantation intraocular lens were evaluated. Capsular tension ring was helpful in un-corrected distance visual acuity (SMD: 0.54, 95% CI = 0.15 to 0.94, p = 0.829) in 1st month. Contrary to 1st month, no show positive effect in 3rd month un-corrected distance visual acuity (SMD: - 0.30, 95% CI = - 0.70 to - 0.10, p = 0.311), corrected distance visual acuity (SMD: 0.02, 95% CI = - 0.78 to 0.81, p < 0.001), sphere (SMD: 0.44, 95% CI = - 0.43 to 1.31, p < 0.001), cylinder (SMD: - 0.12, 95% CI = - 0.36 to 0.13, p = 0.262), and spherical equivalent (SMD: 0.41, 95% CI = 0.13 to 0.69, p = 0.084). Our study also revealed low correlation between capsular tension ring and postoperative optical outcome with un-corrected distance visual acuity (SMD: 0.43, 95% CI = - 0.69 to 1.56, p = 0.001), corrected distance visual acuity (SMD: - 0.11, 95%CI = - 0.43 to 0.20, p = 0.56), sphere (SMD: - 0.26, 95%CI = - 1.18 to 0.66, p = 0.005), cylinder (SMD: 0.10, 95% CI = - 0.39 to 0.59, p = 0.075), spherical equivalent (SMD: 0.22, 95%CI = - 0.10 to 0.54, p = 0.849) in 6th month. The position of intraocular lens co-implantation with capsular tension ring has no significant difference in 1st week with lens decentration (SMD: - 0.34, 95% CI = - 1.19 to 0.51, p = 0.038) and tilt (SMD: - 1.00, 95% CI = - 2.19 to 0.19, p = 0.007), but capsular tension ring is helpful to prevent lens tilt in 1st month (SMD: - 0.67, 95%CI = - 1.08 to 0.27, p = 0.323). In 3rd month, there was no significant difference between two groups in lens rotation (SMD: - 0.51, 95%CI = - 1.71 to 0.69, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The correlation is low between capsular tension ring and postoperative optical outcomes and lens position, based on small numbers of studies in a short range of follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tilting of the posterior plaque margin during eye plaque brachytherapy can lead to tumor underdosing and increased risk of local recurrence. We performed a quantitative analysis of the dosimetric effects of plaque tilt as a function of tumor position, basal dimension, height and plaque type using 3D treatment planning software. MATERIALS AND METHODS Posterior and anterior tumors with largest basal dimensions of 6, 12 and 18 mm and heights of 4, 7 and 10 mm were modeled. Both Eye Physics and COMS plaques were simulated and uniformly loaded. Plans were normalized to 85 Gy at the tumor apex. Posterior plaque tilts of 1, 2, 3 and 4 mm were simulated. RESULTS Volumetric coverage is more sensitive to tilt than the area coverage. Wide, flat tumors are more susceptible to tilt. Apical dose changed significantly as a function of tumor height and diameter. No other parameter exhibited significant differences. Posterior tumors are slightly more susceptible to tilt due to the use of notched plaques. Plaque type does not significantly alter the effect of plaque tilt. CONCLUSIONS Wide, flat tumors are the most susceptible to plaque tilt. Tumor location or plaque type does not have a significant effect on dosimetry changes from plaque tilt. Robust clinical procedures such as the use of mattress sutures, pre- and post-implant ultrasound and post-implant dosimetry can all mitigate the risk associated with plaque tilt.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraocular lens (IOL) calculation and biometry have evolved significantly in recent decades. However, present outcomes are still suboptimal. Our objective is to summarize the results reported in the literature with regard to a new variable, the value of the relationship between anterior and posterior corneal curvature in the biometric calculation of IOL power. METHODS We have created a narrative revision of the existing evidence regarding the posterior to anterior corneal curvature ratio in IOL calculation. RESULTS The corneal posterior/anterior ratio (P/A ratio), also called Gullstrand ratio, has a standard deviation of 2.4% in normal people, hence causing a possible IOL power miscalculation error of up to 0.75 diopters (D). This error is magnified in pathological corneas or in those with previous refractive surgery. Including the P/A ratio in the IOL formula reduces errors in the calculation of IOL power. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of the posterior corneal surface should be recommended prior to IOL calculation, given the demonstrated results regarding the P/A ratio for IOL power calculation. Regarding toric IOL calculation, we suggest incorporation of all internal astigmatic vectors, for instance, posterior corneal surface, IOL tilt induced toricity, and retinal astigmatism. All of these factors may improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The perfection and high reproducibility of capsulotomy in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) lead to the possibility of new intraocular lens (IOL) designs for capsulotomy fixed implantation. ISSUE Which different designs have so far been presented for which problems in capsulotomy fixation? MATERIAL AND METHOD An evaluation of the literature and conference data was carried out. RESULTS Currently four different types of femtolenses for capsulotomy fixation are described in the literature or are commercially available. The first described was the lens in the bag or Tassignon IOL, which was developed for secondary cataract prevention, the second was the Masket IOL for reduction of negative dysphotopsia and third the 90F designed by Dick. All three types are or will be produced by Morcher. The fourth lens is the Femtis from Oculentis. All lenses are characterized by a high level of safety during implantation, The Tassignon lens leads to reduction of secondary cataract, especially in juvenile cataract because of the additional posterior capsulotomy. In studies the Masket IOL could show a decrease of negative dysphotopsia. In comparison to standard lenses, the 90F and Femtis in particular showed better results with respect to tilt, rotation and decentration. CONCLUSION The new IOL designs for capsulotomy fixation show a safe implantation procedure and indications for a very stable position in the capsular sac. Further studies must be carried out to confirm the possible advantages in comparison to standard IOL with respect to postoperative results for refraction, tilt, rotation and decentration and possible induction of aberrations.

BACKGROUND The aesthetics of social media have become increasingly important to cosmetic surgery patients in recent years; however, aesthetic treatments have not kept pace with the desires of modern patients. The current study investigates the most common angles employed by various user cohorts when posting a selfie on social media platforms and proposes that aesthetic surgeons consider utilizing a selfie angle alongside standard pre- and postoperative photographic views. METHODS Full face photographs published on the social media platform Instagram™ with the tag #selfie were divided into three cohorts: female models/influencers, amateur females, and amateur males. Each cohort contained 100 photographs. The photographs were analyzed using cloud-based facial analysis software for facial pan, roll, and tilt relative to the camera. RESULTS One hundred photographs from each cohort were analyzed and demonstrated that amateur females (AF) take photographs from higher angles than amateur males (AM) or model females (MF). Roll-off-midline was significantly greater for AF and MF as compared to AM. The MF group had significantly a greater pan-off-midline as compared to AF and AM, while AF had significantly a greater pan-off-midline than AM. CONCLUSIONS Common photography practices employed within selfie photographs utilize angles not captured in standard perioperative photographs. This study supports the implementation of a selfie photograph into the standard set of pre- and postoperative photographs taken by aesthetic surgeons to evaluate the effects of interventions in the context of selfie photography. The angle employed can vary depending upon the demographic profile of the patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
Smartphone usage is increasing around the globe—in daily life and as a research device in behavioral science. Smartphones offer the possibility to gather longitudinal data at little cost to researchers and participants. They provide the option to verify self-report data with data from sensors built into most smartphones. How accurate this sensor data is when gathered via different smartphone devices, e.g., in a typical experience sampling framework, has not been investigated systematically. With the present study, we investigated the accuracy of orientation data about the spatial position of smartphones via a newly invented measurement device, the RollPitcher. Objective status of pitch (vertical orientation) and roll (horizontal orientation) of the smartphone was compared to data gathered from the sensors via web browsers and native apps. Bayesian ANOVAs confirmed that the deviations in pitch and roll differed between smartphone models, with mean inaccuracies per device of up to 2.1° and 6.6°, respectively. The inaccuracies for measurements of roll were higher than for pitch, d = .28, p < .001. Our results confirm the presence of heterogeneities when gathering orientation data from different smartphone devices. In most cases, measurement via a web browser was identical to measurement via a native app, but this was not true for all smartphone devices. As a solution to lack of sensor accuracy, we recommend the development and implementation of a coherent research framework and also discuss the implications of the heterogeneities in orientation data for different research designs.

Abstract
Background To investigate the decentration and tilt of plate-haptic multifocal intraocular lenses (MfIOLs) in myopic eyes. Methods Myopic (axial length [AXL] > 24.5 mm) and non-myopic (21.0 mm < AXL ≤ 24.5 mm) cataract eyes were enrolled in this prospective study and randomly assigned to receive implantation of Zeiss AT LISA tri 839MP lenses (Group A) or Tecnis ZMB00 lenses (Group B). In total, 122 eyes of 122 patients were available for analysis. Decentration and tilt of MfIOLs, high-order aberrations (HOAs), and modulation transfer functions (MTFs) were evaluated using the OPD-Scan III aberrometer 3 months postoperatively. Subjective symptoms were assessed with a Quality of Vision questionnaire. Results Near and distance visual acuities, tilt and horizontal decentration did not differ between the two groups, postoperatively. However, myopic eyes of Group B showed greater vertical decentration than those of Group A (− 0.17 ± 0.14 mm vs. -0.03 ± 0.09 mm, respectively), particularly when the MfIOLs were placed horizontally or obliquely. Overall decentration of myopic eyes was greater in Group B than in Group A (0.41 ± 0.15 mm vs. 0.16 ± 0.10 mm, respectively). In Group B, AXL was negatively correlated with vertical decentration and positively correlated with overall decentration. No such correlations were found in Group A. Intraocular total HOAs, coma, trefoil and spherical aberrations were lower in Group A than in Group B for a 6.0 mm pupil among myopic eyes. Generally, Group A had better MTFs and fewer subjective symptoms than Group B among myopic eyes. Conclusions Plate-haptic design of MfIOLs may be a suggested option for myopic cataract eyes due to the less inferior decentration and better visual quality postoperatively.

Abstract
Background Myopic tilted disc, observed as an oval disc, has been alleged to be a funduscopic en-face manifestation of excessive optic nerve head (ONH) sloping or tilting. Here, we report the case of a myopic child showing a developing oval disc in fundus photos during axial elongation, but without progressive tilting in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images. Case presentation By merging B-scan SD-OCT images of the ONH and macula, the curvature of the posterior pole, including both the fovea and ONH, was reconstructed and compared before and after 2 years of axial elongation. Despite the marked increase of disc ovality, the posterior polar curvature was rarely changed. The preponderance of optic disc change was induced by the shift of the temporal disc margin in the nasal direction. This shifting alone imitated an increase of tilt angle but one that was still far smaller than the required degree of tilt for ONH-tilt-based disc ovality. To clarify, we calculated the required extent of axial elongation to obtain a substantial degree of ONH tilt when considering the adjacency of the fovea and the ONH. Without a focal increase of posterior polar curvature, which is to say posterior staphyloma, such change is not possible until the axial length increases extraordinarily. Conclusion The most prominent change in the development of myopic tilted disc, which change gives it an oval appearance and imitates a tilt when measured, is actually not a tilt but rather a shift of the temporal disc margin.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate which ocular axis, the corneal topographic axis (CTA), pupillary axis (PA) or line of sight (LOS), for measuring the tilt and decentration of intraocular lens (IOL) is most relevant to correct distance visual acuity (CDVA). METHODS A Scheimpflug device (Pentacam HR) was prospectively used to determine the tilt and decentration of IOLs in vivo 3 months after cataract surgery. A new method was developed to reliably measure PA and LOS. We further evaluated CTA and then used Spearman correlation coefficient and linear regression to assess the correlation between CDVA and IOL displacement based on the data of three different ocular axes. RESULTS Forty-six eyes from 46 patients were evaluated. The majority of decentration and tilt of IOL with reference to CTA, PA and LOS were towards the subtemporal direction. We found that the horizontal meridian data measured using CTA and PA were statistically significantly different (p = 0.011 for tilt; p = 0.005 for decentration). The correlation between CDVA and the distance of decentration temporally (r = -0.344, p = 0.035) and inferiorly (r = -0.336, p = 0.042) of the IOL with regard to CTA was significant. PA and LOS measurements had no correlation with any indices. CONCLUSION Assessment of tilt and decentration of the IOL with reference to different ocular axes was markedly different. IOL tilt and decentration measured by CTA were significantly correlated with CDVA.

Abstract
Tilt is a very common term in online poker players' vocabulary, it describes a state where the player is no longer able to make rational decisions because they are overwhelmed by strong emotions. This study aims to explore the relation existing between the frequency of Tilt episodes, the player's perception of these episodes and excessive gambling in online poker. The sample is composed of 291 adult French-speaking online poker players. All participants completed an online self-assessment questionnaire. The results of the classification analysis showed that the sample could be divided into three groups. The first group, named ''players in control'' included low excessive gambling tendencies with low perceived and measured Tilt frequencies. The two other groups showed high measured tilt levels, with perceived tilt levels that were different from the measured levels. Furthermore, these two groups present a moderate usage risk of developing an excessive gambling tendency in a money-based game of chance. These results show the existence of a relation between the player's capacity to perceive tilt and the online poker player's behavior.

Abstract
AIMS This study of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip aimed to: 1) characterize the contribution of the hip, spinopelvic complex, and lumbar spine when moving from the standing to the sitting position; 2) assess whether abnormal spinopelvic mobility is associated with worse symptoms; and 3) identify whether spinopelvic mobility can be predicted from static anatomical radiological parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 122 patients with end-stage OA of the hip awaiting total hip arthroplasty (THA) were prospectively studied. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs; Oxford Hip Score, Oswestry Disability Index, and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Score) and clinical data were collected. Sagittal spinopelvic mobility was calculated as the change from the standing to sitting position using the lumbar lordosis angle (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic-femoral angle (PFA), and acetabular anteinclination (AI) from lateral radiographs. The interaction of the different parameters was assessed. PROMs were compared between patients with normal spinopelvic mobility (10° ≤ ∆PT ≤ 30°) or abnormal spinopelvic mobility (stiff: ∆PT < ± 10°; hypermobile: ∆PT > ± 30°). Multiple regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to test for possible predictors of spinopelvic mobility. RESULTS Standing to sitting, the hip flexed by a mean of 57° (sd 17°), the pelvis tilted backwards by a mean of 20° (sd 12°), and the lumbar spine flexed by a mean of 20° (sd 14°); strong correlations were detected. There was no difference in PROMs between patients in the different spinopelvic mobility groups. Maximum hip flexion, standing PT, and standing AI were independent predictors of spinopelvic mobility (R2 = 0.42). The combined thresholds for standing was PT ≥ 13° and hip flexion ≥ 88° in the clinical examination, and had 90% sensitivity and 63% specificity of predicting spinopelvic stiffness, while SS ≥ 42° had 84% sensitivity and 67% specificity of predicting spinopelvic hypermobility. CONCLUSION The hip, on average, accounts for three-quarters of the standing-to-sitting movement, but there is great variation. Abnormal spinopelvic mobility cannot be screened with PROMs. However, clinical and standing radiological features can predict spinopelvic mobility with good enough accuracy, allowing them to be used as reliable screening tools.

Abstract
Beekeepers providing pollination services for California almond orchards have reported observing dead or malformed brood during and immediately after almond bloom—effects that they attribute to pesticide exposure. The objective of this study was to test commonly used insecticides and fungicides during almond bloom on honey bee larval development in a laboratory bioassay. In vitro rearing of worker honey bee larvae was performed to test the effect of three insecticides (chlorantraniliprole, diflubenzuron, and methoxyfenozide) and three fungicides (propiconazole, iprodione, and a mixture of boscalid-pyraclostrobin), applied alone or in insecticide-fungicide combinations, on larval development. Young worker larvae were fed diets contaminated with active ingredients at concentration ratios simulating a tank-mix at the maximum label rate. Overall, larvae receiving insecticide and insecticide-fungicide combinations were less likely to survive to adulthood when compared to the control or fungicide-only treatments. The insecticide chlorantraniliprole increased larval mortality when combined with the fungicides propiconazole or iprodione, but not alone; the chlorantraniliprole-propiconazole combination was also found to be highly toxic to adult workers treated topically. Diflubenzuron generally increased larval mortality, but no synergistic effect was observed when combined with fungicides. Neither methoxyfenozide nor any methoxyfenozide-fungicide combination increased mortality. Exposure to insecticides applied during almond bloom has the potential to harm honey bees and this effect may, in certain instances, be more damaging when insecticides are applied in combination with fungicides.

Abstract
Βackground Both limb length inequality and scoliosis are associated with pelvic obliquity. Methods This is an observational study of adolescents with growth potential presenting for evaluation of thoracic or thoracolumbar idiopathic scoliosis at an outpatient pediatric orthopedic clinic. Patients were evaluated for limb length discrepancy (LLD) (using bilateral femoral head height difference), pelvic obliquity (using bilateral iliac crest height difference and sacral takeoff angle), and scoliotic curve (using Cobb angle and rotation) on full spine standing radiographs. The same radiographic parameters were measured at a follow-up visit at least 2 years later. Results Seventy-three consecutive patients with a mean (SD) age of 13.3 (0.2) years at initial examination were included in the study. Scoliosis (major curve Cobb angle ≥ 10°) was confirmed in all 73 patients, pelvic obliquity (iliac crest height difference > 1 cm or sacral takeoff angle > 5°) appeared in 23 (31.5%) patients with scoliosis, and LLD (> 1 cm femoral head height difference) was identified in 6 (8.2%) patients with scoliosis and pelvic obliquity. At a subsequent visit, a mean of 2.8 (range 2–5.8) years later, no significant change (p > 0.05) in limb length inequality was observed but a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) in scoliotic and pelvic deformity parameters was found. Conclusions In adolescent patient population with thoracic or thoracolumbar scoliosis, the anisomelia remains stable with growth but both the scoliotic deformity and pelvic obliquity progress.

Abstract
Purpose To report the findings and surgical techniques on two cases of severe tilting of an intraocular lens (IOL) that had been implanted with intrascleral fixation and the tilting was detected by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Observations Two patients underwent flanged intrascleral fixation of an IOL with the double needle technique. AS-OCT showed that the tilt of IOL was 25.3° in Case 1 and was 38.1° in Case 2, and a second surgery was planned to reduce the IOL tilt. Both edges of the flanged haptics were externalized and shortened by 2–3 mm. Then, the haptics edges were inserted intrasclerally. The tilt of the IOLs was reduced to 7.7° and 5.7°, and the myopia-shifted refraction was reduced from −2.75 diopters (D) and −4.50 D to −0.13 D and −0.50 D of the approximate planned refraction in the two cases. Conclusions and importance An excessive tilt of an intrasclerally fixed IOL can be corrected by shortening the length of the haptics. AS-OCT was useful in not only detecting the tilted IOL but also in monitoring the degree of tilt after adjustment surgery.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The capillary force in situations where the liquid meniscus is asymmetric, such as the one around a tilted object, has been hitherto barely investigated even though these situations are very common in practice. In particular, the capillary force exerted on a tilted object may depend on the dipping angle i. EXPERIMENTS We investigate experimentally the capillary force that applies on a tilted cylinder as a function of its dipping angle i, using a home-built tilting Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) with custom made probes. A micrometric-size rod is glued at the end of an AFM cantilever of known stiffness, whose deflection is measured when the cylindrical probe is dipped in and retracted from reference liquids. FINDINGS We show that a torque correction is necessary to understand the measured deflection. We give the explicit expression of this correction as a function of the probes' geometrical parameters, so that its magnitude can be readily evaluated. The results are compatible with a vertical capillary force varying as 1/cosi, in agreement with a recent theoretical prediction. Finally, we discuss the accuracy of the method for measuring the surface tension times the cosine of the contact angle of the liquid on the probe.

Abstract
Because of the significance of electron microscope tomography in the investigation of biological structure at nanometer scales, ongoing improvement efforts have been continuous over recent years. This is particularly true in the case of software developments. Nevertheless, verification of improvements delivered by new algorithms and software remains difficult. Current analysis tools do not provide adaptable and consistent methods for quality assessment. This is particularly true with images of biological samples, due to image complexity, variability, low contrast and noise. We report an electron tomography (ET) simulator with accurate ray optics modeling of image formation that includes curvilinear trajectories through the sample, warping of the sample and noise. As a demonstration of the utility of our approach, we have concentrated on providing verification of the class of reconstruction methods applicable to wide field images of stained plastic-embedded samples. Accordingly, we have also constructed digital phantoms derived from serial block face scanning electron microscope images. These phantoms are also easily modified to include alignment features to test alignment algorithms. The combination of more realistic phantoms with more faithful simulations facilitates objective comparison of acquisition parameters, alignment and reconstruction algorithms and their range of applicability. With proper phantoms, this approach can also be modified to include more complex optical models, including distance-dependent blurring and phase contrast functions, such as may occur in cryotomography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the most commonly injured structure in patients with objective patellar instability. The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of MPFL reconstruction in 50 patients with chronic patellar instability. METHODS Fifty patients with chronic patellar instability, aged 15-39 years, were included. The MPFL was reconstructed using a free gracilis autograft tendon. Two anchors were used for patellar fixation, and femoral fixation was achieved with an interference screw placed into a tunnel between the adductor tubercle and medial epicondyle. The graft was tensioned to 10 N with the knee in 30° flexion. IKDC and Kujala scores were assessed pre- and post-operatively. Patellar tilt was measured from CT scans with the quadriceps relaxed and contracted, both pre- and post-operatively. RESULTS The follow-up period was 7 to 44 months (mean: 25 months, SD 10.3). The mean raw IKDC score increased from 51.5 preoperatively to 71.7 at last follow-up, the mean overall IKDC score increased from 38.5 to 61.7 and the Kujala score increased from 48.3 to 82.4. On CT scans, the mean patellar tilt went from 24° to 16.2° with the quadriceps relaxed and 27.7° to 18.1° in contraction. No recurrent dislocation was observed. CONCLUSION This technique of MPFL reconstruction provided significant improvements in IKDC and Kujala scores and significant reduction in patellar tilt. No recurrent dislocations were observed during the study period.

Abstract
Previous research demonstrated higher maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force with upright vs. inverted positions in untrained individuals. The purpose was to determine the effects of inversion on force, activation, and cardiovascular responses before and following fatigue in trained individuals. Twelve male athletes completed two trials: upright and inverted seated positions. At baseline (upright), either leg extension (LE) or elbow flexion (EF) evoked contractile properties and MVCs were performed. LE and EF contractions were randomly allocated and performed in separate sessions. The subject was then positioned for 150s in each posture, followed by a 30s MVC (MVC30). During each trial, stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q), heart rate (HR), time and frequency domain HR variability measures and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) measurements were recorded. ANOVA showed no statistical differences in EF MVC force, but a tendency (p=.12) for LE MVC decline with inversion vs. upright. Evoked resting (p=.1) and potentiated peak twitch (p=.04) force were increased with inverted LE but tended to diminish with inverted EF (p=.06 and p=.1). Force-fatigue, electromyography-fatigue relationships and HR variability during MVC30 fatigue were not affected. HR and Q were significantly (p=.01) lower with inversion following both LE and EF fatigue. Compared to the significant inversion-induced changes associated with untrained individuals in previously published studies, the lack of postural changes in resting force and CV measures may demonstrate that highly trained individuals adapt better to inversion.

Abstract
Multislice simulations were used to analyze the reliability of annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM) imaging and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) for determining the thicknesses of MoS2 and WS2 specimens in the aberration-corrected TEM. Samples of 1 to 4 layers in thickness for both 2H and 1T polymorphs were studied and tilts up to 500mrad off of the [0001] zone axis were considered. All thicknesses including the monolayer showed distortions and intensity variations in their ADF-STEM images and SAED patterns as a result of tilt. Both techniques proved to be applicable to distinguish monolayers from multilayers using tilt. Without tilt, neither technique allows unambiguous thickness determination solely by comparing relative intensities of atomic columns in ADF-STEM images or diffraction patterns oriented along at [0001] zone axis, with the exception of monolayer 2H WS2. However, differentiation is possible using absolute intensities in ADF-STEM images. The analysis of ADF-STEM images and SAED patterns also allows identification of the 2H and 1T polymorphs of MoS2 and WS2.

Abstract
The probability that mortality from certain causes exceeds high thresholds is addressed. An out-of-sample fusion method is presented where an original real data sample is fused or combined with independent computer-generated samples in the estimation of exceedance probabilities assuming a density ratio model. Since the size of the combined sample of real and artificial data is larger than that of the real sample, the fused sample produces short confidence intervals relative to traditional methods. Numerical results show that the method maintains good coverage even for some misspecified cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, including increased blood volume and cardiac output, can affect hemodynamic control, most profoundly with positional changes that affect venous return to the heart. By using Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), a body-based modality theorized to affect somatic structures related to nervous and circulatory systems, we hypothesized that OMT acutely improves both autonomic and hemodynamic control during head-up tilt and heel raise in women at 30 weeks gestation. DESIGN One hundred subjects were recruited at 30 weeks gestation. SETTING The obstetric clinics of UNTHealth in Fort Worth, TX. INTERVENTION Subjects were randomized into one of three treatment groups: OMT, placebo ultrasound, or time control. Ninety subjects had complete data (N=25, 31 and 34 in each group respectively). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded during 5 min of head-up tilt followed by 4 min of intermittent heel raising. RESULTS No significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate or heart rate variability were observed between groups with tilt before or after treatment (p>0.36), and heart rate variability was not different between treatment groups (p>0.55). However, blood pressure increased significantly (p=0.02) and heart rate decreased (p<0.01) during heel raise after OMT compared to placebo or time control. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that OMT can acutely improve hemodynamic control during engagement of the skeletal muscle pump and this was most likely due to improvement of structural restrictions to venous return.

Abstract
Objective To determine whether the introducer curving technique is useful in decreasing the degree of tilting of transfemoral Tulip filters. Materials and Methods The study sample group consisted of 108 patients with deep vein thrombosis who were enrolled and planned to undergo thrombolysis, and who accepted transfemoral Tulip filter insertion procedure. The patients were randomly divided into Group C and Group T. The introducer curving technique was Adopted in Group T. The post-implantation filter tilting angle (ACF) was measured in an anteroposterior projection. The retrieval hook adhering to the vascular wall was measured via tangential cavogram during retrieval. Results The overall average ACF was 5.8 ± 4.14 degrees. In Group C, the average ACF was 7.1 ± 4.52 degrees. In Group T, the average ACF was 4.4 ± 3.20 degrees. The groups displayed a statistically significant difference (t = 3.573, p = 0.001) in ACF. Additionally, the difference of ACF between the left and right approaches turned out to be statistically significant (7.1 ± 4.59 vs. 5.1 ± 3.82, t = 2.301, p = 0.023). The proportion of severe tilt (ACF ≥ 10°) in Group T was significantly lower than that in Group C (9.3% vs. 24.1%, χ2 = 4.267, p = 0.039). Between the groups, the difference in the rate of the retrieval hook adhering to the vascular wall was also statistically significant (2.9% vs. 24.2%, χ2 = 5.030, p = 0.025). Conclusion The introducer curving technique appears to minimize the incidence and extent of transfemoral Tulip filter tilting.
