Deep retinal capillary ischemia (DRCI) is a recently described entity in patients presenting with an acute-onset paracentral scotoma. Subclinical macular lesions of DRCI were formerly best visualized on near-infrared reflectance imaging. The development of optical coherence tomography angiography

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a relatively rare type of malignant tumor. For patients with recurrent/distant metastasis/unresectable advanced soft tissue sarcoma, chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide is the standard treatment, but the effect is limited. Targeted drugs represented by

Brain metastases (BM) develop in 22-54% of NSCLC patients during the disease course. NSCLC patients with BM with a median overall survival (OS) of 2-3 months when treated with systemic corticosteroid alone, and a median OS of 3-6 months when treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).

The etiology and pathophysiology of preeclampsia have not been clearly established; impaired immunologic adaptation and genetic incompatibility seem to be involved in deficient trophoblastic implantation. Placental hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction may lead to preeclampsia through an exacerbated

The key aspects in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia are placental oxidative stress (and hypoxia), placental release of the anti-angiogenic factors Soluble Fms Like Tyrosine Kinase -1 and soluble endoglin and maternal endothelial dysfunction. A drug that can counter these pathological steps could

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the lethal human cancers worldwide and its incidence matches mortality, reflecting the poor prognosis of this disease. The surgical resection rate of HCC is low, and the prognosis is poor. Although transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the main treatment

Currently, there is no "cure" for spinal cord injuries (SCI). Although the scientific understanding of central nervous system (CNS) regeneration has advanced greatly in the past twenty years, there are still many unknowns with regard to inducing successful regeneration, especially with chronic SCI.

Although the introduction of multimodal treatment of soft tissue sarcoma resulted in great progress in STS treatment, local failure still occurs in 10-20% of STS patients. Therefore further improvement of local and systemic treatment is needed in order to achieve tumor control and limb salvage. The

Background: - von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) inactivation by mutation or promoter hypermethylation is seen in a high proportion of sporadic clear cell renal cancers. - Inactivation of VHL leads to accumulation of proteins targeted for degradation through the ubiquitin pathway, which includes a group of
