Meeting Challenges in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive, multifactorial optic neurodegenerative disease that affects over 80 million patients worldwide. The disease's insidious onset, combined with our reliance on subjective diagnostic tools, hinders early detection and timely intervention. Current treatments, while beneficial, often fail to provide consistent intraocular pressure control, and management is further complicated by variability in disease progression, non-adherence to therapy, socioeconomic challenges, complications from surgical interventions, and new risk factors. This reprint contains 15 excellent chapters that focus on the remarkable developments in the field of glaucoma diagnosis and treatment, including the use of artificial intelligence, novel wearable devices, advancements in filtration and cataract surgeries, wound healing, and ocular surface disease management.

Cable and Electrical Fires
Cables, as the "arteries" and "nerves" of the national economy, are widely used in energy transmission, information transmission and various motor instruments. However, with the increasing demand for electricity and the energy infrastructure's inevitable aging, cable and electrical fires have become the main cause of fire-related accidents. Our Special Issue, named "Cable and Electrical Fires", compiles current research on cable and electrical fires, as well as present progress to the wider community and encourage further research in this area. Up to now, 11 high-quality articles have been included in this Special Issue. The articles included cover the progress of research on the fire characteristics of cables and wires; hazard and risk evaluation, especially the smoke toxicity hazard; and test standards in cable or electrical fires. We hope that the contributions published within this Special Issue will provide new insights in the field of cable and electrical fire safety. Although considerable research progress has been made on electrical and cable fire mitigation and control, much work remains to be conducted. Here are some promising research directions that may improve cable and electrical fire safety: 1) advanced materials for fire-resistant cables, including non-halogenated flame retardants and smart, self-healing materials; 2) predictive maintenance and monitoring technologies, such as using AI and machine learning to identify patterns indicative of potential fire hazards; and 3) fire safety standards for emerging technologies, including electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations.

Exoskeleton Robotic Systems
This Special Issue Book presents a collection of articles highlighting recent achievements, applications, studies, and review articles within the field of exoskeleton robotic systems. These contributions cover a wide range of applications of these systems, from the rehabilitation of the upper and lower limbs to assisting human gait when ascending and descending stairs, actuator selection criteria, and the implementation of actuation moment control algorithms. Over the past 20 years, the therapies available in rehabilitation clinics have improved substantially, aided by robotic rehabilitation systems, which have seen rapid progress and increased performance. This progress has contributed to the diversification of the applications of exoskeleton robotic systems, namely, to provide assistance in the following: in climbing up and down stairs, to workers in various activities (carrying weights, working with raised arms, or in a bent position), and even in executing sit-to-stand movements. Exoskeleton robotic systems are used in a wide range of fields, both medical (rehabilitation, paraplegics, and amputees) or non-medical (rescue operations, construction work, etc.). The progress of exoskeleton robotic systems is notable and is visible in both lower-limb and upper-limb exoskeletons. However, there remain challenges, such as optimizing control systems and human-machine interactions.
