Hot off the press! We automated the detection of infectious keratitis (IK) on KOH smears using Whole Slide Imaging + a DSMIL framework. This AI solution enables faster, accurate diagnosis while reducing reliance on manual expertise. 🔗 Models + GitHub in the thread👇

@bubbleboi I scrolled directly to the epilogue which seemingly got updated with hidden gems

@bubbleboi Immersive story until you reach the last sentence

Great weekend presenting at OMIG & AAO. At OMIG, I highlighted real-world barriers to AI deployment from our study using a KOH AI model in 3 Indian clinics. At AAO, our work on latent supervision for medical diagnostic uncertainty won Best Paper in the cornea session.

Excited to be applying to the Ophthalmology match this cycle. As a postdoctoral scholar at the Casey Eye Institute, my work merges corneal imaging, OCT, and clinically useful AI. Looking forward to connect with the community! #OphthoMatch #Match2025

Our NeuralVision AI-driven platform demoed on the MS39 at the CSO booth at the ESCRS in Copenhagen: Automated LASIK flap & SMILE/KLEx cap detection ICL vault measurement Previous laser vision correction history detection 💡 Stay tuned for the next MS39 update

Officially introducing Thermal Energy Conduction and Heating (TECH) our new iteration of our previous CAIRS extended dehydration technique, published in “Cornea” journal 2 years ago. Get your CAIRS super dry and rigid in just 5 minutes.

Our latest research on Angles Alpha and Kappa in myopic and hyperopic patients is now published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery! This is the largest and most comprehensive study to date exploring the distribution of Angle Alpha and its relationship to Angle Kappa.

@RamiMahfouzMD @AUBMediterraneo @AUB_Lebanon @AUB_FM Mabrouk!

Thank you AUB! JAD RAMI MAHFOUZ Industrial Engineering Graduate 2025 with Distinction. @AUBMediterraneo @AUB_Lebanon @AUB_FM

@KfouryPeter @AAOHNS Well deserved!

Big week! 🎉 Our study on Filociclovir for cCMV-Related Hearing Loss received an ASPO Research Grant 🧬 Grateful for the support @AAOHNS AND to top it off, two manuscripts accepted for publication! 📄👏 Huge thanks to my mentors & team! #Match2026 #ENT #Otolaryngology #AAOHNS

@AbiSalehBernard @jay_francis_lb @Omar_f93 @dr_wassaad @aubmc_cards_fel @AUBMC_Official @AUB_Lebanon @SamirAlamMD @DrFadloKhuri Congrats! Brilliant and compassionate physicians.

Congratulations to our graduating fellows... carrying with them the name of the program to top institutions in the US @jay_francis_lb @Omar_f93 @dr_wassaad @aubmc_cards_fel @AUBMC_Official @AUB_Lebanon

@KfouryPeter Excellent work Peter!

I had the wonderful opportunity to give an oral presentation at #COSM2025 exploring expanded targeted testing in Utah. It was a privilege to share our findings and contribute to the ongoing conversation in #ENT about improving early detection in congenital #CMV. #Match2026

Grateful to present at the American Ophthalmological Society in Naples, FL! Our poster focused on detecting corneal opacities on OCT using a cornea model accounting for incidence angle and depth-dependent reflectance. This enables objective opacity mapping and aids PTK planning.

@williamazar_ @NEJM_AI @NIH @PeterPintoMD @charleshesswani @GuKoller @SahilParikh99 @NeilM15 @apkenigsberg @theNCI @NEJM Impressive, well done William!

Excited to share our latest study in @NEJM_AI ! 🚀 We introduce NTEP, a @NIH platform that uses large language models to extract data from unstructured medical reports with 99.8% accuracy – bridging AI with real-world medical research 🔗 Free access: ai.nejm.org/stoken/default…

Just got back from #ARVO2025 in Salt Lake City! 🟦 Poster 1: “Soft” labels from latent class analysis improved AI accuracy & calibration for trachoma + infectious keratitis 🟦 Poster 2: Better OCT epithelial mapping in corneas with opacities, helpful for PTK and dystrophies

Our deep learning study published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery identifies the nature of previous keratorefractive surgery performed based on OCT image analysis whether myopic or hyperopic, femtosecond laser or microkeratome, and KLEx, LASIK, or PRK.
