Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the real-world effectiveness of antivascular endothelial growth factor agents, particularly ranibizumab, in treating diabetic macular edema (DME) over 12 months.
- Results showed a mean visual acuity improvement of 4.4 letters and a notable reduction in central retinal thickness, highlighting the treatment's impact.
- However, the outcomes in this real-world setting were lower compared to results from controlled clinical trials, suggesting potential differences in effectiveness in everyday medical practice.
Background: Clinical decision rules have been derived to distinguish between bacterial and aseptic meningitis in the emergency room to avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatments and hospitalisations.
Aims: To evaluate the reproducibility and to compare the diagnostic performance of five clinical decision rules.
Methods: All children hospitalised for bacterial meningitis between 1995 and 2004 or aseptic meningitis between 2000 and 2004 have been included in a retrospective cohort study.
(57)Fe Q-band ENDOR has been used to study the [4Fe-4S](1+) state created by gamma irradiation of single crystals of the synthetic model compound [N(C(2)H(5))(4)](2)[Fe(4)S(4)(SCH(2)C(6)H(5))(4)] enriched in (57)Fe. This compound is an excellent biomimetic model of the active sites of many 4 iron-4 sulfur proteins, enabling detailed and systematic studies of its oxidized [4Fe-4S](3+) and reduced [4Fe-4S](1+) paramagnetic states. Taking advantage of the fact that Q-band ENDOR, in contrast with X-Band ENDOR, allows for a very good separation of the (57)Fe transitions from those of the protons, the complete hyperfine tensors of the four iron atoms for the [4Fe-4S](1+) species has been measured with precision.
