Drug-induced Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Drug-induced angle-closure glaucoma is an important entity for the ophthalmologist as well as the general physician as it represents a preventable cause of potential blindness. This brief review highlights the fact that a high index of suspicion, in a susceptible individual followed by confirmation on appropriate imaging modality (UBM, ultrasound or anterior segment OCT) can alleviate the threa...

Antiangiogenic-induced hypertension: the molecular basis of signaling network.

PROBLEM Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder, is one of the leading causes of fetal and maternal death globally. Angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are involved in the formation of new blood vessels required for placental development and function. The hallmark of preeclampsia is similar to the toxicities related to antiangiogenesis therapy....
