The Role of AI in Ophthalmology
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing ophthalmology by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient care. AI-powered tools, such as deep learning algorithms, are capable of detecting eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration with remarkable precision. These technologies enable early detection and intervention, often outperforming traditional methods. AI also streamlines workflows by analyzing imaging data rapidly, freeing up time for ophthalmologists to focus on patient care. Furthermore, AI-driven telemedicine solutions are expanding access to eye care in remote and underserved areas. As the field advances, AI holds the potential to transform ophthalmology into a more efficient and patient-centered discipline.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
Approach to Small Vessel Vasculitis
The approach to small vessel vasculitis involves a comprehensive assessment, including clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to confirm the diagnosis and identify underlying causes. Treatment typically focuses on immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents, to control inflammation and prevent organ damage. In some cases, targeted biologic therapies may be considered. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and improve long-term outcomes.
