How ciprofloxacin quietly erodes vision

With the popularization of systemic drugs that may affect eye health, it is particularly important to identify the eye side effects caused by drugs. In this medical case analysis, we delved into the diagnosis and treatment process of a 55 year old male patient with toxic optic neuropathy (TON) caused by long-term use of ciprofloxacin. This case provides us with an important warning about the potential impact of drug side effects on the visual system, while also emphasizing the necessity of carefully evaluating drug use history in clinical practice. Medical history summary The patient, male, 55 years old, complained of facial recognition difficulties and decreased reading ability for more than 2 months. Upon examination, it was found that there was a decrease in symmetrical visual acuity, visual field defects, and color vision abnormalities in both eyes. He was diagnosed with TON (usually selectively affecting the optic disc macular bundle). Medical ...

What is the impact of the House of Representatives’ passage of the draft biosafety law amid the controversy on WuXi

On September 9, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress returned from a summer break and immediately scheduled a series of legislative votes, including the draft Biosafety Act (H.R. 8333). The draft biosecurity law passed the House of Representatives with 306 votes in favor and 81 votes against, but the 70% support rate made it the most divisive draft bill in the same batch, and even narrowly fell below the “bottom line” of more than two-thirds of the votes to pass the bill. The draft Biosafety Act places five companies, including WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, on the list of “biotechnology companies of concern” on the grounds of “national security”, and intends to restrict the use of funds, loans or subsidies from the United States government to cooperate with these companies. Unlike previous committees that voted in small groups, this time there were several members of the House ...

Digital therapeutics are a big failure

The digital therapeutics industry has evolved and evolved beyond all expectations. In June 2021, Pear Therapeutics, the “first stock of digital therapeutics”, was listed; In April 2023, he filed for bankruptcy and bankruptcy; A year later, Better Therapeutics, another star digital therapeutics company, also fell; Four months ago, Akili chose to sell himself and delist and go private. So far, the three musketeers of overseas digital therapeutics have all fallen. If you count from the listing of Pear, a three-year cycle, the waves will sweep away the heroes. On the surface, the main reason for the collapse of these companies is financial problems, but the deeper reason is the commercialization challenges faced by digital therapeutics. The challenge is that digital therapeutics need to have drug-like efficacy in order to gain market acceptance, but the embarrassment is that prescription digital therapeutics are not drugs per se, but more about using technical ...

What Are Its Treatment Prospects?

Recently, according to publicly available information from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration, the technetium-99m ([99mTc]) hydrazinonicotinamide polyethylene glycol RGD peptide injection (referred to as “99mTc-3PRGD2”) developed by Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals has been included in the priority review list. This also applies to the injection of toluenesulfonate hydrazone nicotinamide polyethylene glycol RGD peptide. 99mTc-3PRGD2 is a radiolabeled drug conjugate (RDC) independently developed by Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals. It is the first class I new drug for radiologic diagnosis in nuclear medicine in China and the world’s first broad-spectrum tumor imaging agent for SPECT imaging. Notably, the success of this drug’s development will change the current technical status and conventional understanding that SPECT/CT imaging technology in nuclear medicine cannot be used for tumor diagnosis, staging, and efficacy evaluation. According to Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals, 99mTc-3PRGD2 targets integrin and specifically binds to the integrin αvβ3 receptor on tumor neovascularization, demonstrating high ...
