A variable-dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: year 2 of the PrONTO Study.

TL;DR: The PrONTO Study using an OCT-guided variable-dosing regimen with intravitreal ranibizumab resulted in VA outcomes comparable with the outcomes from the phase III clinical studies, but fewer intravItreal injections were required.

Ranibizumab for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Intravitreal administration of ranibizumab for 2 years prevented vision loss and improved mean visual acuity, with low rates of serious adverse events, in patients with minimally classic or occult (with no classic lesions) choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.

Some Methods for Strengthening the Common χ 2 Tests

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss two kinds of failure to make the best use of x2 tests which I have observed from time to time in reading reports of biological research, and propose a number of methods for strengthening or supplementing the most common uses of the ordinary x2 test.

Ranibizumab versus Verteporfin for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Ranibizumab was superior to verteporfin as intravitreal treatment of predominantly classic neovascular age-related macular degeneration, with low rates of serious ocular adverse events and treatment improved visual acuity on average at 1 year.
