Does early SD-OCT diagnosis followed by prompt treatment of radiation maculopathy using intravitreal bevacizumab maintain functional visual acuity?
This study demonstrates that spectral domain optical coherence tomography can detect early vasculopathic changes secondary to radiation maculopathy and that prompt treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab may delay vision loss and maintain or possibly improve visual acuity in half of eyes diagnosed with radiation maculopathy. Radiation maculopathy remains a therapeutically manageable morbidity associated with radiation therapy for posterior uveal melanoma.
Meal fatty acid composition modulates postprandial serum endotoxin concentration in healthy adults. However, postprandial endotoxin was not associated with systemic inflammation in vivo.
