A Simple Vista en Este N úmero
Newman-Casey y otros (p. 332) se propusieron analizar los patrones de prescripci ón de los proveedores de salud en Medicare para medicamentos oftálmicos y calcular el ahorro potencial de costos que lograría Medicare al sustituirlos por medicamentos genéricos o terapéuticos y negociar sus precios. En un estudio retrospectivo de corte transversal, analizaron el Archivo de Med icare sobre Prescripción y el Archivo Sumario para calcular los costos de los medicamentos por especialidad médica y tipo de medicamento.

Safety of rAAV2/2-ND4 Gene Therapy for Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most commonly recognized mitochondrial disease. It typically occurs in young male adults, causing painless, acute, and profound vision loss. It presents asynchronously with the second eye almost always involved within weeks or months, a phenotypic declaration nearly pathognomonic for LHON. Visual prognosis is poor and therapy wanting.1 (Source: Ophthalmology)
