Introduction And Importance: A carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an abnormal connection between the internal or external carotid artery and the venous system of the cavernous sinus. It represents a rare entity, and it is often misdiagnosed due to its overlapping symptoms with other conditions such as cavernous sinus thrombosis or orbital inflammation. Cerebral angiography continues to be the gold standard for diagnosis and surgical planning in patients with CCF, and the endovascular trans-venous approach still represents the primary line of treatment.

Hydrogel formation was studied on α-D 2'-deoxyguanosine (α-dG), and the fluorescent 8-azapurine α-D nucleosides 2-amino-8-aza-2'-deoxyadenosine (α-2-NH2-z8Ad) and 8-aza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine (α-z8iGd). These compounds were prepared from α-D 8-aza-2'-deoxyguanosine by an activation/amination protocol followed by deamination.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising therapeutic approach by delivering cytotoxic agents specifically to cancer cells, potentially reducing harm to healthy tissues. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and challenges associated with ADCs in NSCLC, with a focus on drug-induced interstitial lung disease (D-ILD).
