“an increasing trend”

66 In RA patients, the indicators of iron metabolism, such as serum iron and ferritin, often show an increasing trend. 67 Notably, iron concentrations are positively correlated with the severity of joint inflammation, a relationship confirmed by several studies. 68 Therefore, a deeper understanding of the relationship between iron metabolism and RA is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies.

Initially, pregnant women exhibited poor sleep quality, which worsened progressively over time, consistent with previous research indicating an increasing trend of poor sleep quality from the first trimester to the third trimester. 58 Another cohort study also supported these findings by demonstrating an upward trajectory of maternal sleep disorders from the second trimester to the postpartum period. 59 However, contrary to our expectations, the initial sleep quality did not significantly predict the rate of change in sleep quality over time.

The reported incidence of post-keratoplasty infection is variable, ranging from 0.1 to 2.47% in various studies.[ 1 , 3 ] In an earlier study, it was noted that the overall risk of post-keratoplasty endophthalmitis was 0.23%, 0.34% for EK, and 0.15% for PK.[ 5 ] The study revealed that the majority (87.5%) of the cases were due to gram-negative bacilli, of which 50% were due to Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa , with multidrug resistance and susceptibility only to colistin.[ 5 , 6 ] In contrast to the findings of the study, the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) reported an increasing trend in fungal infections following EK than PK.[ 7 ] Candida spp. were predominantly responsible for fungal endophthalmitis and few cases due to filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus flavus .[ 7 ] Therefore, there have been a growing interest and emphasis on incorporating additional antibiotic supplementation into the corneal preservation media.
