Cancer patient treatment has been fundamentally transformed in recent years, as various molecular changes have been identified as the cause of cancer formation and progression. One of the most significant advancements in modern oncology is the shift from an organ-centric philosophy guiding therapy choice to thorough molecular analysis driving a personalized strategy (Gambardella et al., 2020). The term personalized medicine was used ten years ago for the first time, the right drug for the right patient explains best . ‘Personalized medicine' refers to the adaption of medical treatment to each patient's unique traits. It doesn’t mean the development of patient–specific medications or medical devices, but rather the ability to divide individuals into subpopulations that differ in their susceptibility to a given disease or their reaction to a specific treatment (Bates, 2010). Cancer therapy response rates are among the lowest of any major disease, however, now a well-establish...

In the realm of ophthalmology, accurate and timely diagnosis is important to ensure optimal patient care. Bacterial keratitis, an infection of the cornea, demands rapid identification for effective treatment. Conventional diagnostic methods have limitations in terms of speed and precision. However, the emergence of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology has heralded a new era in ophthalmic diagnostics, offering a revolutionary approach to detecting bacterial keratitis.   Understanding bacterial keratitis: Bacterial keratitis poses a significant threat to ocular health and vision. Caused by bacterial pathogens, this condition can lead to corneal damage and even blindness if left untreated. Swift and accurate identification of the causative bacteria is crucial to administering appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Traditionally, bacterial keratitis diagnosis relied on clinical observation, microbiological cultures, and staining techniques. While these methods are informative, ...
