Port-Associated Candida tropicalis Endogenous Endophthalmitis

A patient with colon cancer and an indwelling central venous port developed endogenous endophthalmitis despite negative blood culture results. What would you do next?

Ambient light drives verteporfin-induced protein cross-linking during standard laboratory sample processing

Verteporfin (VP) is widely used as a light-independent pharmacologic inhibitor of the YAP-TEAD transcriptional complex, despite its potent photosensitizing properties. Here we show that VP-associated high–molecular–weight complexes and apparent depletion of key proteins on immuno...

Outcomes in patients with endophthalmitis and no light perception vision initially treated with intravitreal antibiotics

Abstract Background Management of endophthalmitis presenting with NLP (no light perception) vision remains poorly defined, with limited evidence guiding treatment decisions. We aim to investigate whether treatment with intravitreal antibiotics reduces the rate of enucleation or e...
