Abstract
The host inflammatory response is activated in both cancer and infection. This includes enhanced production of acute phase reactants, involvement of coagulation and inflammation and the potential for systemic effects. This overview will identify the prothrombotic links between cancer and sepsis and suggest antithrombotic agents as an approach in the specific treatment of sepsis in cancer patients.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
