Article Abstract
Background: To report three cases of early choroidal neovascularization (CNV) bridging after ranibizumab treatment.
Methods: Three patients with two separated foci of CNV secondary to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), pathologic myopia and multifocal choroiditis were treated with monthly injections of ranibizumab por a period of 3 months.
Results: All three cases showed early coalescence across the fovea of the two neovascular foci, already 1 month after the first ranibizumab injection. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) decreased in the three cases more than 20 letters due to early foveal involvement.
Conclusions: Two different foci of CNV show a great tendency to decrease patients' vision because of neovascular bridging with foveal implication.

Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH), a subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), develops with portal hypertension and may persist after liver transplantation. While there have been successes using balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for POPH, no reports exist on long-term follow-up. A 60-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis developed POPH.

Background: Chagas heart disease (ChD) is a significant public health concern in Latin America, contributing to a high incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite advances in heart failure treatment, management of Chagas cardiomyopathy has not progressed accordingly. While ICDs are effective for primary and secondary prevention in other conditions, patients with ChD often experience more frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia, and ICD use may provide a negative impact and increase mortality.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a life-threatening obstetric complication. We aimed to identify the drugs that associated with PPH based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data, providing scientific evidence for targeted prevention of drug-related PPH risk factors. Data from 2004Q1 to 2025Q1 were extracted from FAERS, and disproportionality analysis was performed to identify potential drug signals.

Introduction: Dental health and overall well-being are greatly impacted by temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), which encompass a spectrum of illnesses that impact the temporomandibular joint and its surrounding structures. The use of dental prostheses, including complete and partial dentures, is common among individuals with missing teeth. However, the association between denture types and the prevalence of TMD remains a subject of interest and concern in the field of oral health.
