    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration is a global disease with a significant societal impact. The advent of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (anti-VEGF) has revolutionised the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD) is being investigated for possible therapeutic options. The therapeutic categories undergoing clinical trials include complement pathway inhibitors, visual cycle modulators, reduction of toxic byproducts, antioxidative therapy, neuroprotective agents, laser therapy, surgical options, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and miscellaneous treatments. Two intravitreal anti-complement factors (pegcetacoplan and avacincaptad pegol) have recently shown phase 3 clinical trial evidence of a reduction in the growth of geographic atrophy. In this review, we provide an update on treatment options currently undergoing clinical research trials for the management of dAMD and preventing the progression of Geographic Atrophy (GA).

    Abstract Septic pulmonary embolism is an obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature due to embolization of an infected thrombus. In many instances, the etiology is cardiac in origin, given the increased prevalence of intravenous drug users in the United States. This condition usually presents with fever, chest pain, dyspnea, and cough. In order to make the diagnosis, it is helpful to utilize tools like the modified Duke criteria when evaluating for infective endocarditis in the context of pulmonary emboli and septic shock. The gold standard method for establishing the diagnosis of this condition involves imaging modalities, including echocardiogram and computed tomography findings. This case report details a 36-year-old male with a history of drug abuse and hepatitis C, who was found to have an isolated vegetation on the pulmonic valve and septic pulmonary embolism. The patient experienced a rapidly deteriorating clinical course, however improved over the course of 2 weeks with supportive measures and appropriate antibiotic treatment. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the uncommon nature of pulmonary valve involvement in patients with infective endocarditis. Moreover, the goal of this report is to recognize the paralleled increase in septic pulmonary emboli with the rising incidence of patients using injectable opioids in the United States.

    Abstract Tularemia is a rare, life-threatening zoonotic infection with low, naturally occurring transmission rates in the United States. Classified as a Category A bioterrorism agent, this disease is highly infectious and has the potential to be fatal if left untreated. Making the diagnosis is difficult due to the non-specific symptomatology patients present with. Considering the increase in the prevalence of this diagnosis over the past two decades, this condition has the potential to become a public health crisis. This case report details a pediatric patient who was found to have fever, ulceration, and lymphadenopathy on hospital admission. After a prolonged and protracted course of illness, tularemia was diagnosed with laboratory testing. The purpose of this case report is to increase awareness of tularemia as a potential cause of non-specific flu-like symptoms, especially during the summer months. Moreover, our goal is to propose suggestions for healthcare professionals who encounter patients with clinical suspicion of tularemia.
