Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a novel class of drugs with rapidly expanding oncology indications across solid and hematologic malignancies.

Objectives: This article provides an overview of ADCs with a high risk of ocular reactions and guidance for oncology nurses to help mitigate risk and identify toxicities for prompt management.

Methods: This review presents updated evidence, manufacturer recommendations, and clinical guidance about three ADCs with a risk of overall ocular reactions exceeding 40%, as well as strategies to prepare patients for treatment, prevent reactions, and respond to presenting ocular toxicities.

Findings: ADCs can cause a range of ocular reactions from mild dry eye to severe and dose- limiting corneal adverse reactions and vision loss. Oncology nurses and other members of the interprofessional team can perform focused clinical assessment, provide patient education about self-management and prevention, and coordinate surrounding eye care for patients receiving treatment with ADCs.

Purpose: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular surface inflammatory disease with a complex pathogenesis. Herein, the role and effect of gasdermin E (GSDME) in DED pathogenesis were explored.

Methods: In vitro, flow cytometry, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were used to determine the effects of hyperosmotic stress on pyroptosis, apoptosis, and cell viability in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs).

Human performance in perceptual and visuomotor tasks is enhanced when stimulus motion follows the laws of gravitational physics, including acceleration consistent with Earth's gravity, g. Here we used a manual interception task in virtual reality to investigate the effects of trajectory shape and orientation on interception timing and accuracy. Participants punched to intercept a ball moving along one of four trajectories that varied in shape (parabola or tent) and orientation (upright or inverted).

Registries in allergy: Structure, target groups, and key findings of allergy-focused registries in Germany.

Allergol Select

December 2024

Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany.

In allergology, clinical registries fill knowledge gaps of epidemiology, mechanisms of allergic diseases, and real-world treatment outcomes. Considering the continuous rise of allergic diseases worldwide, registries become increasingly important for the optimization and harmonization of patient care. In the current review, we present four ongoing allergy-focused registries initiated in Germany.

Real world pharmacovigilance assessment of drug related macular degeneration risks.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Xiamen University Affiliated Xiamen Eye Center, Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Fujian Engineering and Research Center of Eye Regenerative Medicine, Eye Institute of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361102, Fujian, China.

Macular degeneration is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, significantly impacting quality of life. To enhance clinical practice and reduce the risk of drug-related macular degeneration, we analyzed drug-related trends using real-world data. Disproportionality analysis of adverse event reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS, 2004-2023) identified 67,683 cases involving 1402 drugs.
