Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to compare the regressive effects of aflibercept and faricimab on pigment epithelial detachment (PED) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: In total, 41 eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with type 1 macular neovascularization were retrospectively analyzed using multimodal imaging. Of these, 23 eyes were treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVA group), and 18 eyes were treated with intravitreal faricimab (IVFa group), with 3 consecutive injections administered as loading dose therapy. Before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 months after the first treatment, the maximum height (MH) and maximum diameter (MD) of the PED were measured using optical coherence tomography in each treatment group.
Results: In the IVA group, the MH at baseline (215 ± 177 μm) was reduced to 141 ± 150 (P = 0.06), 119 ± 150 (P < 0.01), and 107 ± 150 µm (P < 0.0001) at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment, respectively. Similarly, in the IVFa group, the MH decreased from 240 ± 195 µm before treatment to 165 ± 170 µm (P = 0.24), 139 ± 142 µm (P < 0.05), and 117 ± 112 µm (P < 0.01) at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment, respectively. The reduction at 2 and 3 months was significant in both treatments. The mean changes of MH from baseline were -108 ± 142 µm in the IVA group and -124 ± 112 µm in the IVFa group, with no significant difference (P = 0.21). In both groups, the MD did not regress significantly.
Conclusions: The results suggested that the MH of the PED between the IVA and IVFa groups regressed similarly after each loading therapy.

Understanding the intricate relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) transformations and land surface temperature (LST) is critical for sustainable urban planning. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of LULC and LST across Delhi, India, using thermal data from Landsat 7 (2001), Landsat 5 (2011) and Landsat 8 (2021) resampled to 30-m spatial resolution, during the peak summer month of May. The study aims to target three significant aspects: (i) to analyse and present LULC-LST dynamics across Delhi, (ii) to evaluate the implications of LST effects at the district level and (iii) to predict seasonal LST trends in 2041 for North Delhi district using the seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time series model.

A venous aneurysm (VA) is characterized by localized venous dilatation. We report a case of a left external jugular VA in a child with recurrent thrombophlebitis. The patient was diagnosed at 1 year of age, and the VA temporarily regressed after thrombophlebitis at 3 years of age, but it recanalized and recurred at 7 years of age, necessitating surgical resection.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the small intestine is relatively rare, and the treatment guideline has not been established yet. Here we present a case of MALT lymphoma in the terminal ileum, which regressed after () eradication. A 53-year-old man had complained of abdominal discomfort and underwent a gastrointestinal endoscopic examination.

Objective: This study investigates awareness of and support for Mexico's bans on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products among adults who smoke.
Methods: Data were analyzed from a 2020 survey of adult Mexicans who exclusively smoked cigarettes ( = 1 324) or smoked cigarettes and used e-cigarettes ( = 654). Weighted multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models estimated crude and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) for awareness of and support for bans on each product, regressing these outcomes on variables for sociodemographic characteristics, product use, perceptions of harms, norms and exposure to advertising.
