Clopidogrel therapy in nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion: A case report and therapeutic insight.

Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a significant cause of vision impairment in adults, often associated with various systemic and ocular risk factors. The current literature presents a limited understanding of the efficacy of antithrombotic agents in CRVO management, with sparse comparative studies evaluating the effectiveness of different antiplatelet therapies. Here, we report the case of nonischemic CRVO in a 54-year-old male with multiple systemic comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Tracheostomy and long-term invasive ventilation decision-making in children: A scoping review.

An increasing number of children are surviving critical illnesses requiring tracheostomy/long-term ventilation (LTV). This scoping review seeks to collate the available evidence on decision-making for tracheostomy/LTV in children. Systematic searches of electronic databases and websites were conducted for articles and reports.

A case report on letrozole-related maculopathy.

Letrozole is an oral aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers in postmenopausal women. It acts by inhibiting the conversion of androgens to estrogen thereby lowering the estrogen synthesis in the body. We report a case of bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) in a postmenopausal woman on letrozole for breast cancer.

Methanol production and purification via membrane-based technology: Recent advancements, challenges and the way forward.

Industrial revolution on the back of fossil fuels has costed humanity higher temperatures on the planet due to ever-growing concentration of carbon dioxide emissions in Earth's atmosphere. To tackle global warming demand for renewable energy sources continues to increase. Along renewables, there has been a growing interest in converting carbon dioxide to methanol, which can be used as a fuel or a feedstock for producing chemicals.

Fibroscan-Aspartate Aminotransferase Score Predicts Liver-Related Outcomes, but Not Extrahepatic Events, in a Multicenter Cohort of People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is frequent in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH). The Fibroscan-aspartate aminotransferase (FAST) score was developed to identify patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and significant fibrosis. We investigated prevalence of NASH with fibrosis and the value of FAST score in predicting clinical outcomes in PWH.
