Drug targeting for brain malignancies is restricted due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumor barrier (BBTB), which act as barriers between the blood and brain parenchyma. Certainly, the limited therapeutic options for brain malignancies have made notable progress with enhanced biological understanding and innovative approaches, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies. These advancements significantly contribute to improving patient prognoses and represent a promising shift in the landscape of brain malignancy treatments.

- The study aimed to compare anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and quality of life between patients who had an eye surgically removed and a control group.
- Researchers used various assessment tools on 29 eye surgery patients and 30 control subjects, focusing on measuring mental health and health-related quality of life.
- Despite having similar levels of anxiety and self-esteem to the control group, patients with monocular vision reported lower quality of life and higher depression levels, suggesting a need for psychiatric support post-surgery to enhance their well-being.
Introduction To compare the prediction accuracy of lens power calculation formulas in patients undergoing mature cataract surgery. Methods A total of 90 operations involving the Alcon SA60AT IOL implant (Alcon, Geneva, Switzerland) were analyzed in terms of mean refractive prediction error (PE) and mean absolute prediction error (MAE) using backward calculation in a retrospective design. Results A negative PE was observed in SRK/T, Holladay 1, Holladay 2, Hoffer Q, Haigis, and Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO) formulas.

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional and observational study analyzed 80 eyes of 40 patients. Tear film and ocular surface evaluation were performed at baseline, postoperative week 1, and month 1.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the Meibomian gland (MG), tear film, and corneal changes in the post-operative period following ptosis surgery using corneal topography.
Methods: This non-comparative, case series study analyzed 30 eyes of 23 patients undergoing blepharoptosis surgery with an external approach. Ocular surface and tear film evaluation was performed at baseline and post-operative 3rd month.
