“We know that DME is a leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults, but many patients are left untreated,” Baruch D. Kuppermann, MD, PhD, told Healio. “This is somewhat surprising, but at 1 year after diagnosis of DME, 60% of patients are left untreated.”

Treatments based on genomic profiling can significantly extend survival for patients with advanced or rare cancer, but only if those therapies have been validated within their histologic type.
An evaluation of more than 3,000 adults in Australia showed those who received regulatory-approved targeted therapies or ones that have demonstrated clinical activity within a patient’s specific cancer had a 40% improvement in survival compared with individuals who did not receive those treatments.
However, individuals who received genomic treatments based only on data from a different malignancy derived
Optometrists had some of the lowest rates of malpractice payouts of all health professions, including after states allowed them to perform certain injections and laser surgeries, according to a study.

Current Infectious Disease Society of America guidelines for the treatment of invasive candidiasis recommend a minimum duration of 14 days after documented clearance of Candida species from the bloodstream.
This recommendation has remained the standard of therapy since first applied to the methodology of a randomized controlled trial over 3 decades ago. This recommendation is not without consequence; approximately 1 in 6 patients receiving treatment for invasive candidiasis have hospital admissions prolonged solely for completion of IV antimicrobial therapy, potentially placing patients at
