Ipilimumab is a novel monoclonal antibody targeting the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) receptor that has been shown to improve survival in metastatic melanoma. Previous case reports have documented its association with drug-induced uveitis. We report a patient who developed bilateral optic neuropathy with disc edema while taking this medication.
There was no difference in central or peripheral PCO between 1-piece and 3-piece hydrophobic acrylic IOLs. With 1-piece IOLs, PCO tended to start at the optic-haptic junctions. With 3-piece IOLs, full anterior capsule coverage did not produce a statistically significant benefit with respect to PCO prevention.
Irradiation of cat corneas with the therapeutic dose used to lock in the power of the LAL was not associated with damage to endothelial cells. Further studies are necessary to confirm the absence of damage at the ultrastructural level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
