Purpose: To assess the early real-world clinical outcomes regarding safety and efficacy after ranizurel administration.
Methods: A retrospective, consecutive, interventional, uncontrolled, multi-centre study was conducted incorporating data from four centres in India. 22 eyes with variable indications were included and all patients were treated with at least one intravitreal injection of ranizurel 0.5 mg between January 2021 and April 2021. Each patient underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurement with a Snellen chart (converted to LogMAR for analysis), central subfield thickness (CST) analysis with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement along with complete ophthalmic examination at baseline and the last follow-up for evaluation of adverse events after ranizurel injection.
Results: - None of the sites reported any signs of inflammation, vasculitis or any other ocular or systemic adverse effects in any of the cases. Mean BCVA at baseline was 0.48 ± 0.26 LogMAR (20/63) which improved significantly 0.26 ± 0.28 (20/40) at the last follow-up. (p = 0.001) Mean CST at baseline was 448.4 ± 122.9 μm which improved significantly to 328.3 ± 89.9 μm. (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: - The early real-world data from this limited series indicates that ranizurel is a safe alternative biologic for patients who were treatment-naive and in those who had undergone prior treatment with other anti-VEGF agents.

Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) represents the standard of care for managing patients affected by end-stage and life-threatening liver diseases. Although a significant improvement in surgical techniques, immunosuppressant regimens, and prompt identification of early post-transplant complications resulted in better clinical outcome and survival in OLT recipients, the occurrence of early bacterial infections still represents a remarkable cause of morbidity and mortality. In this scenario, beta-lactams are the most frequent antimicrobials used in critical OLT recipients.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing number of case reports documenting delayed seroma in patients with a history of breast surgery and reconstruction. The occurrence of these seromas has been associated with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. So far, there are few systematic analyses on postoperative complications in breast surgery since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Background: Preeclampsia significantly impacts maternal and perinatal health. Early screening using advanced models and primary prevention with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for high-risk populations is crucial to reduce the disease's incidence. This study assesses the feasibility of implementing preterm preeclampsia screening and prevention by leveraging information from our current aneuploidy screening program in a real-world setting with geographic separation clinical site and laboratory analysis site.

Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare, and due to the absence of male-specific screening programs, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages and older ages. This study aims to analyze the long-term trend of MBC incidence and develop a competing risk model to improve survival rates. MBC data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975-2019) were analyzed using the Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model to examine trends in age, period, and birth cohort effects of MBC incidence.

As novel, anti-amyloid therapies have become more widely available, access to timely and accurate diagnosis has become integral to ensuring optimal treatment of patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma biomarkers are a promising tool for identifying AD pathology; however, several technical and clinical factors need to be considered prior to their implementation in routine clinical use. Given the rapid pace of advancements in the field and the wide array of available biomarkers and tests, this review aims to summarize these considerations, evaluate available platforms, and discuss the steps needed to bring plasma biomarker testing to the clinic.
