Purpose: To report our real-world experience using intravitreal faricimab, a novel anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) previously treated with other anti-VEGF therapy.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective, single-center study of previously treated nAMD eyes treated with faricimab.
Results: In 88 eyes (73 patients), mean baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/63 (range 20/20 to CF) with mean anti-VEGF injection interval of 6.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injections on patients with noninfectious uveitis, focusing on key outcomes like central subfield thickness (CST) and visual acuity.
- Data was collected from 61 eyes of 51 patients over two years, revealing a significant reduction in CST from 437.61 microns to 348.17 microns within 6 weeks following treatment, along with an improvement in fluorescein angiography scores.
- Results showed that while some patients needed additional treatment for macular edema over time, 41.2% of those followed for 24 weeks did not require further interventions, and
To describe an option of surgically draining large macular cystoid spaces in a patient with Coats disease. A case and its findings were analyzed. A standard pars plana vitrectomy was performed to aspirate large macular cystoid spaces using a subretinal cannula with intraoperative optical coherence tomography guidance.

- The study focused on creating self-assembled garlic essential oil-amylose inclusion complexes (SGAs) using garlic oil and corn starch to explore how they release active compounds.* -
- The optimal SGAs were found at a 15% garlic oil to corn starch ratio, showcasing a specific structure and a notable allicin content of 0.573 mg/g, with higher residual mass compared to other samples.* -
- In vitro tests demonstrated that 53.21% of allicin remained in the SGA after 8 hours, indicating effective controlled-release characteristics for potential food or pharmaceutical applications.*
Early-life exposure to environmental neurotoxicants is known to have lasting effects on organisms. In this study, we aim to investigate the impacts of PQ exposure during early developmental stages and adult re-challenge in aged mice on non-motor neurobehavior. Two mouse models, which were exposed once during early life stage and re-exposure at adulthood, were created to explore the long-term effects of PQ on non-motor neurobehavior.
