Beyond Longer Intervals: Advocating for Regular Treatment of Neovascular AMD.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Division of Ophthalmology, Department of Surgery, UMass Chan-Lahey School of Medicine, Burlington, MA 01805, USA.
Personalizing the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) poses significant challenges for practicing retina specialists and their patients. This commentary addresses some of these complexities, particularly those that arise in the context of an expanding array of intravitreal agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and related retinal disease targets. Many of these newer agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of nAMD have labeling that indicates that they can provide non-inferior visual outcomes when compared head-to-head with previously available treatments and can be used at significantly extended dosing intervals in some patients.

This commentary adds elements of analysis from the new evolutionary sociology that might help to support the mythologic hypothesis.

The George Institute for Global Health, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Conflict-affected regions face severe reproductive health challenges that disproportionately impact adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and children, who are especially vulnerable due to the breakdown of healthcare systems and limited access to essential services. AGYW are at heightened risk due to restricted access to family planning, prenatal care, and emergency obstetric services, while children face malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and developmental delays. These challenges have profound long-term consequences for both their physical and psychological well-being.
