Background: A characteristic disease pattern may be reflected by retinal layer thickness changes in non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy measured using spectraldomain optical coherence tomography. Retinal layer segmentation is enabled by advanced software. In this study, retinal layer thicknesses in acute and chronic non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy were compared.

- Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is a treatment for prostate cancer patients who have a recurrence of the disease after surgery, but it only works well for about 30% of them over ten years.
- The study looked at 301 patients to see if starting SRT at a lower PSA level (≤ 0.28 ng/ml) would give better results compared to a higher PSA level (> 0.28 ng/ml).
- Results showed that patients with a PSA ≤ 0.28 ng/ml had a better chance of not having the cancer progress after treatment, suggesting starting SRT at this lower level is beneficial.
