Article Synopsis
  • A comparison of adverse events (AEs) between nivolumab plus ipilimumab (NIVO-IPI) and nivolumab plus cabozantinib (NIVO-CABO) was conducted using data from the FDA and WHO databases, as there were no direct clinical trials available.
  • The analysis revealed that immune-related AEs, such as myocarditis and colitis, occurred more frequently with NIVO-IPI, whereas gastrointestinal and skin disorders were more common with NIVO-CABO.
  • The results help inform treatment decisions to better manage and reduce the risk of AEs in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Introduction: Post-vitrectomy cystoid macular edema (CME) can lead to failure of macular hole (MH) closure. We report 2 cases of failure of MH closure due to post-vitrectomy CME, which were successfully treated using sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (STTA) injection.

Case Presentations: Case 1 involved a 72-year-old male patient with a Gass Stage 3 MH in the right eye.

Introduction: Hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitors, used in the treatment of renal anemia, hold the potential to increase the production of vascular endothelial growth factors. Therefore, HIF-PH inhibitors may exacerbate retinal hemorrhage in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. Here, we present a case involving the administration of an HIF-PH inhibitor, resulting in the exacerbation of retinal hemorrhage in a patient with diabetic retinopathy.

The potential risks associated with organs from COVID-19-infected donors were unclear. To determine the SARS-CoV-2 infection status of corneas transplanted during the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the corneal preservation solution that was used for corneal transplantation. We also examined the postoperative health status of the recipients.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study compares the adverse event (AE) profiles of two breast cancer drugs, palbociclib and abemaciclib, using data from global databases to identify any differences in side effects.
  • - It found that patients on palbociclib often reported cytopenia and psychiatric disorders, while those on abemaciclib reported more interstitial lung disease and diarrhoea, among other issues.
  • - The results emphasize the need for healthcare providers to consider these differing side effects when prescribing CDK4/6 inhibitors for breast cancer treatment.
