Antiangiogenesis to treat cancer and intraocular neovascular disorders

Choroidal neovascular membrane in intraocular tuberculosis

Recently, Lodhi SA and colleagues have reported on a patient with choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) associated with tubercular granuloma, who responded to intravitreal bevacizumab injections. The available literature regarding CNVM associated with intraocular tuberculosis is briefly discussed. Choroidal neovascular membrane is a possible complication of choroidal tuberculosis and the patien...

Omics Technologies and Neovascular Ocular Disorders

Neovascular ocular disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (neovas-cular AMD) are an important cause of blindness in the world [1]. In these disorders, neoangiogenesis plays an important role [2], while various environmental and genetics factors are involved in their pathogenesis [2]. In the last decade of research, the importance of gene-environm...

Modulating Neuroinflammation to Treat Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Neuroinflammation is recognised as one of the potential mechanisms mediating the onset of a broad range of psychiatric disorders and may contribute to nonresponsiveness to current therapies. Both preclinical and clinical studies have indicated that aberrant inflammatory responses can result in altered behavioral responses and cognitive deficits. In this review, we discuss the role of inflammati...

Prognostic Factor Analysis of Intraocular Pressure with Neovascular Glaucoma

Purpose. To perform multivariate analysis for identifying independent predictors of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with neovascular glaucoma (NVG), including antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 142 NVG patients (181 eyes) with ischemic retinal diseases [proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in 134 eyes, retinal vein...
