DOTATATE Scan in Meningiomatosis in a Patient With Ophthalmoplegia
DOTATATE (1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetraacetic acid [DOTA]‐octreotate) is a compound that binds somatostatin receptors seen in tumors such as meningiomas. Here, we present a case of a patient with progressive bilateral ophthalmoplegia due to meningiomatosis involving both cavernous sinuses, which was highlighted by DOTATATE imaging. Some

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Eye diseases and dementia: association because of pathogenesis or visual impairment?
Abstract Background Research suggests a link between blindness, age‐related macular degeneration (AMD), and a higher risk of dementia. Since AMD can lead to blindness, it remains unclear whether this elevated risk is due to the disease's underlying pathology or its ability to cause blindness.
