‘Perifoveal Exudative Vascular Anomalous Complex’ (PEVAC) is a perifoveal, unilateral, isolated, perifoveal aneurysm, in otherwise healthy patients. Here, we report a case of PEVAC in a highly myopic eye of a 86-year-old woman affected by a visual decline in the right eye (best-corrected visual acuity of 20/100). She had no other relevant past…[Read more]

Electropositive CSH-AuNCs could be bound to the main nucleating region of amylin via hydrogen bonding and endowed the nanocomplex with more positive net charges (amylin monomer with a positive +26.23 ± 0.80 mV zeta potential), which would inhibit the misfolding and aggregation of amylin via electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. In…[Read more]

However, it is not uncommon for young and middle-aged male patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to suffer from osteopenia or osteoporosis.
