Background: This study evaluates the efficacy of intravitreal Faricimab in reducing pigment epithelium detachment (PED) and fluid volumes in both treatment-naïve eyes and eyes unresponsive to anti-VEGF mono-therapies, all diagnosed with type 1 macular neovascularization (T1 MNV) over a period of 12-month.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted at the Jules Gonin Eye Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland. Clinical records of treatment-naïve and non-responder switch patients presenting T1 MNV secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) from September 2022 to March 2023 were reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether the thickness of anterior scleral substantia propria (ASSP) can predict responses to half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) over a 3-month period.
- Conducted in multiple hospitals in Italy and Switzerland, the research involved 109 Caucasian patients, focusing on clinical data and optical coherence tomography measurements to categorize different CSCR phenotypes and their ASSP thickness.
- Results indicated that thicker ASSP is associated with complex CSCR and a higher likelihood of PDT non-responsiveness, emphasizing its potential role in understanding CSCR's severity and treatment outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed 5211 OCT scans from 344 eyes of 255 patients with CSCR, identifying 178 recurrent and 109 non-recurrent cases, using advanced AI techniques to extract relevant parameters.
- * Nine predictive biomarkers for CSCR recurrence were found, including age, various fluid types, and specific retinal layer thicknesses, which could enhance automatic detection and improve clinical outcomes in the future.
Unemployment is more common among people living with HIV (PLWH) compared to the general population. PLWH who are employed have better physical and mental health outcomes compared to unemployed PLWH. The main objective of this mixed-methods study was to conduct a program evaluation of Employment Action (EACT), a community-based program that assists PLWH in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to maintain meaningful employment.
