Classifications of diabetic macular edema [PDF]
Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause worldwide of vision loss from diabetic maculopathy or proliferative retinopathy. Without widely accepted classifications of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic maculopathy, it is difficult to compare results of clinical trials or monitor clinical care.

Effect of Adding Losartan to Bevacizumab for Treating Diabetic Macular Edema
Introduction. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of visual loss and blindness in the age group of 20 to 64 years. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oral Losartan adjuvant therapy in combination with intravitreal injection of ...

Cystoid macular edema segmentation of Optical Coherence Tomography images using fully convolutional neural networks and fully connected CRFs [PDF]
In this paper we present a new method for cystoid macular edema (CME) segmentation in retinal Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images, using a fully convolutional neural network (FCN) and a fully connected conditional random fields (dense CRFs). As a first step, the framework trains the FCN model to extract features from retinal layers in OCT images,

Therapeutic Effects of Combination Therapy and Photobiomodulation Therapy on Retinal Regeneration [PDF]
Introduction: Macular edema (ME) is produced by central extravascular inflammation of the macula subsequent to a major loss of visual action. Macular edema can happen at any phase of diabetic retinopathy, whether non-proliferative or proliferative ...

Evaluation of Transfer Learning for Classification of: (1) Diabetic Retinopathy by Digital Fundus Photography and (2) Diabetic Macular Edema, Choroidal Neovascularization and Drusen by Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Deep learning has been successfully applied to a variety of image classification tasks. There has been keen interest to apply deep learning in the medical domain, particularly specialties that heavily utilize imaging, such as ophthalmology. One issue that may hinder application of deep learning to the medical domain is the vast amount of data necessary

Abstract Purpose To determine the relationship between the full‐field stimulus test (FST) and self‐reported visual function using the Michigan Retinal Degeneration Questionnaire (MRDQ) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods In this cross‐sectional study, patients with clinically diagnosed RP (n = 31) performed FST to determine retinal ...

MAPLES-DR: MESSIDOR Anatomical and Pathological Labels for Explainable Screening of Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]
Reliable automatic diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Macular Edema (ME) is an invaluable asset in improving the rate of monitored patients among at-risk populations and in enabling earlier treatments before the pathology progresses and threatens vision. However, the explainability of screening models is still an open question, and specifically

Abstract Purpose Here we examine the association of anti‐inflammatory therapy with anatomical and functional outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery. Methods The study included consecutive patients having gone through epiretinal membrane surgery at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, between 2017 and 2021.
