Faricimab trumps aflibercept in diabetic macular edema

12 Nov 2024

Treatment with faricimab demonstrates similar visual acuity and greater retinal thickness reduction, with fewer injections, when compared with aflibercept therapy in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), reports a recent study.

Faricimab vs aflibercept for DME in BCVA 20/50 or worse: Reduced retinal thickness, fewer jabs

05 Nov 2024

In the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in the subgroup of patients with baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 or worse, the bispecific antibody faricimab has been shown to improve visual acuity as much as the anti-VEGF aflibercept, with the added advantage of a greater decrease in retinal thickness and reduced injection frequency.

3 cycles of chemo enough for high-risk retinoblastoma in children

04 Nov 2024 by

Shortening the postenucleation chemotherapy regimen containing carboplatin, etoposide, and vincristine (CEV) from six to three cycles results in comparable survival outcomes in paediatric patients with unilateral pathologic high-risk retinoblastoma, according to new research.

IOP control still good 13 years after phacotrabeculectomy

25 Oct 2024 by

A retrospective case series at a tertiary hospital in Singapore has shown that the cumulative surgical success rate after phacotrabeculectomy remains high at 89.1 percent even 13 years post-surgery, with success defined as IOP ≤21 mm Hg

Triamcinolone acetonide injection helps prevent macular edema after cataract surgery

17 Oct 2024

Treatment with subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (TA) results in a reduced risk of postoperative macular edema (ME), particularly the 10-mg/ml high-dose (4 mg) group, reports a study. Additionally, the risk of glaucoma-related events is similar to that of topical groups.

Diabetes-related complications tied to higher risk of periodontitis

01 Oct 2024 by

A study presented at EASD 2024 shows that microvascular complications of diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy, are independently and concomitantly associated with moderate/severe periodontitis.
