Proliferative retinopathies, driven by abnormal retinal blood vessel growth, are a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. These conditions, including diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), threaten millions globally. 1. Conventional Pharmacotherapy: Precision Strikes Against Disease Proliferative retinopathies, driven by abnormal retinal blood vessel growth, are a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. These conditions, including diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), threaten millions globally. Frontline treatments like anti-VEGF agents (e.g., aflibercept) and corticosteroids target disease mechanisms with molecular precision. These rigorously validated therapies halt active progression but are rarely used preventively. 2. Nutraceuticals: The Preventative Powerhouses Dietary supplements, such as the AREDS2 formula (vitamins C/E, zinc, lutein) and omega-3 fatty acids, combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests they reduce baseline risk and amplify treatment efficacy, offering long-term retinal protection. Pharmaceuticals act as urgent responders, while supplements build resilience. Studies highlight their combined potential to slow progression in AMD and diabetic retinopathy—but caution is key. Supplements lack the stringent oversight of drugs, and interactions (e.g., altered drug absorption) pose risks. Clinician guidance is critical to balance benefits and safety. High-risk patients may benefit from preventive nutraceuticals, while those on pharmacotherapy could see enhanced outcomes with adjunctive antioxidants. Collaboration between patients and providers ensures optimized, individualized strategies. Source: https://encyclopedia.pub/image/3247 3. The Future of Eye Care: Integration and Innovation As research evolves, merging pharmacotherapy and supplements promises to redefine standards of care—proactively preserving vision in an aging population through immediate action and sustained protection. For more details about neovascular eye diseases, you can view the online video entitled "Pharmacotherapy and Nutraceuticals for Neovascular Eye Diseases".

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that has affected millions worldwide. Despite the availability of vaccines, outbreaks still occur, making awareness and prevention crucial. What is Measles? Measles is caused by the measles virus, which spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It primarily affects children but can impact individuals of all ages who are not vaccinated. Source：https://encyclopedia.pub/image/3170 Symptoms of Measles The disease typically progresses through different stages, with symptoms appearing about 10-14 days after exposure. Common symptoms include: High fever Cough Runny nose Red, watery eyes Koplik spots (small white spots inside the mouth) A widespread red rash that starts on the face and spreads downward Prevention: The Importance of Vaccination The most effective way to prevent measles is through vaccination. The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is highly effective, providing lifelong immunity in most cases. Public health campaigns advocate for widespread immunization to achieve herd immunity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions. The Global Impact of Measles Despite significant progress in vaccination efforts, measles remains a concern in many regions, particularly in areas with low immunization rates. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), measles outbreaks still lead to thousands of deaths annually, mostly among young children. Efforts to eradicate measles continue, emphasizing the importance of global cooperation and vaccine accessibility. Conclusion Measles is a preventable yet persistent threat. Awareness, vaccination, and global health initiatives play crucial roles in reducing its spread. By ensuring high vaccination coverage, we can protect future generations from this potentially deadly disease.

The woolly mammoth, one of the most iconic creatures of the Ice Age, once roamed the vast, frozen landscapes of Europe, North America, and Siberia. These colossal herbivores, covered in thick fur and equipped with long, curved tusks, thrived in icy climates for thousands of years. However, around 4,000 years ago, due to a combination of climate change and human hunting, they vanished from the Earth—leaving behind only their remains frozen in permafrost. Source: https://encyclopedia.pub/image/3141 Colossal has been working on this since 2021. Researchers retrieved and sequenced ancient mammoth DNA from preserved skin, bone and hair to learn which genes controlled traits such as coat color and cold tolerance. Then, using tools like CRISPR, they edited those genes into mouse embryos. The result? Mice with a little bit of mammoth magic! While de-extinction remains a controversial topic, the prospect of witnessing a woolly mammoth walk the Earth again is both thrilling and thought-provoking. Could science rewrite history and resurrect these Ice Age giants? Only time will tell. For more details, you can view the online entry Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), or the video entitled "Extinct for 4000 Years? Gene Editing Might Resurrect the Woolly Mammoth".
