This can also be treated by pre-dosing the recipient with either IVIg to accelerate catabolism of the endogenous IgG pool or rituximab to deplete Ab-producing B cells [362,363,364]
Human Case Reports and Practitioner Feedback Although randomized trials are pending, case reports and practitioner feedback are encouraging
Several retrospective studies associated the drug class with lower glaucoma risk and reduced ocular hypertension incidence, while preclinical work demonstrated reduced retinal ganglion cell loss and optic nerve damage in experimental models. The experimental literature also points to inflammatory modulation, oxidative stress reduction and retinal ganglion cell survival pathways as possible mechanisms. Smaller studies evaluating IIH and DED reported reductions in intracranial pressure and improved ocular surface parameters, respectively, among treated patients.

2 Endogenous occurrence of supersulfides across organisms Advances in MS-based metabolomics have led to the demonstration of the widespread presence of low-molecular-weight (LMW) supersulfides in a range of organisms, including yeast, bacteria, mammals, and humans
