Effect of Intravitreous Anti–Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy on Choroidal Thickness in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
A critical method of monitoring patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) being treated with anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is optical coherence tomography (OCT), which uses low-coherence interferometry of ...

Myasthenia Gravis with Membranous Nephropathy, Successfully Treated with Extended Total Thymectomy.
A 46-year-old woman showed proteinuria and hematuria after left blepharoptosis, and revealed a histopathology of membranous nephropathy (MN) at renal biopsy. She was diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis (MG) because of a positive edrophonium test and anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibodies in serum.

Treat & extend versus PRN in AMD
SummaryBasically 3 different approaches to anti‐VEGF treatment in AMD are in clinical use, a fixed regimen using monthly or bi‐monthly injections (IVI), a PRN strategy and a Treat and Extend (T&E) regimen.T&E is a proactive and individualized anti‐VEGF treatment regimen. Basically IVI are performed monthly until stability is achieved.
