BACKGROUND
MELAS (mitochondrial myopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) is one of the most common mitochondrial encephalomyopathies.
METHODS
We present four children with A3243G MELAS mtDNA mutation and give a summary of clinical MELAS symptoms reported in the literature. Serum lactate
Intravenously administered nitro-imidazole radiosensitizer and alkylating anticancer compound CI-1010, designated as (R)-alpha-[[(2-bromoethyl)amino]methyl]-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol monohydrobromide, causes multiorgan toxicity in rodents, including retinal degeneration. This study determined
OBJECTIVE
Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in dogs, yet no treatment has been objectively evaluated, or proven to be effective. Consensus of opinion is that SARDS is immune-mediated, although corticosteroid medications may exacerbate
Restoring vision in inherited retinal degenerations remains an unmet medical need. In mice exhibiting a genetically engineered block of the visual cycle, vision was recently successfully restored by oral administration of 9-cis-retinyl acetate (QLT091001). Safety and visual outcomes of a once-daily
