Combination of Anti-VEGF and Laser Photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema: A Review by Laura N. Distefano, Jose Garcia-Arumi, Vicente Martinez-Castillo, Anna Boixadera

“…Thirty years ago, the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) demonstrated that focal/grid laser photocoagulation reduces moderate vision loss from DME by 50% or more; thus, macular photocoagulation became the gold standard treatment for DME. However, with the development of anti-VEGF drugs (bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept), better outcomes were obtained in terms of visual acuity gain and decrease in macular thickness in some studies when antiangiogenic drugs were administered in monotherapy. …”

Concealed penis: A review of multilevel classification and surgical reconstruction techniques by Bo‐yu Xiang, Jing‐xuan Peng, Xue‐jun Shang, Xiong‐bing Zu, Dong‐jie Li

“…Although conservative treatment may be effective for some children with CCP, surgical intervention is still the main treatment for other children with CCP and AABP. There is no ‘gold standard’ surgical treatment for CP, but there are various surgical methods available; therefore, individualized surgical plans should be created after a comprehensive evaluation based on the classification and aetiology of CP patients.…”
