Vitamin a toxicity: “Too much of a good thing”
Fredric Gorin, Sarah Torres, and Pamela J. Lein discuss the implications of vitamin A supplementation during a recent measles outbreak in the US. They explain that a common misconception – that vitamin A supplementation can prevent the transmission of measles among unvaccinated individuals – can result in vitamin A toxicity.
OCT: A practical tool for diagnosing buried optic disc drusen
Dr Adèle Ehongo addresses the diagnosis of buried optic disc drusen (BODD) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and the importance of correlating visual field abnormalities and OCT data, especially in normal tension glaucoma, to distinguish it from Optic Disc Drusen (ODD).
COP30 in Belém: Leadership between two worlds
Professor Richard Beardsworth continues his analysis of expectations for COP30 in Belém, as he navigates leadership between two realms, one rules-based and co-operative, the other nationalist-populist and centrifugal.
