Early years of childhood form the basis of intelligence, personality, social behaviour, and capacity to learn and nurture oneself as an adult. Our objective was to find out the effects of screen time on behavior of pre-schoolers, which could provide scientific grounds to the control of digital screen time. ⋯ Study findings revealed that excessive screen time has deleterious effect and is associated with behavioural problems of pre-schoolers.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of tear and repair of the lateral meniscal posterior root (LMPR) on the patellofemoral contact pressure of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed. ⋯ The posterior root tear and repair of the lateral meniscus could have an influence on patellofemoral contact stress of the knee after ACL reconstruction at 30° of knee flexion.

To identify the genetic variants in the CYP1B1 gene associated with Primary Congenital Glaucoma (PCG) and to predict its pathological effect. ⋯ Genetic analysis in the current study showed that 85% of PCG affected patients were due to the CYP1B1 mutation, and disease heterogeneity might be reduced through genetic counseling.

Artificial Intelligence is no more the talk of the fiction read in novels or seen in movies. It has been making inroads slowly and gradually in medical education and clinical management of patients apart from all other walks of life. ⋯ This has made a significant impact on our approach in medical science. Though there are benefits of this new technology, a lot of caution is required for its use.

To compare the effectiveness of fluid-air exchange with silicone oil-fluid exchange in reducing the residual silicone oil (SO) droplets after the removal of SO. ⋯ Fluid-air exchange group was found to be superior in reducing residual SO droplets than the oil-fluid exchange group.
