Early detection of diabetic macular oedema [PDF]

, 2022
Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the second leading cause of visual loss in working-age adults in the United Kingdom (UK) after inherited eye disease, and is asymptomatic in its early stages. Visual loss from DR is commonly due to diabetic macular oedema (DMO) which current screening methods cannot detect directly.

Implantable drug delivery system: Frontiers of medicine‐engineering interdisciplinary

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the driving mechanisms of implantable on‐demand drug delivery systems (IDDS), including endogenous, exogenous, and closed‐loop strategies. It highlights the pivotal roles of flexible electronics and miniaturization in enhancing the tissue conformity and spatial adaptability.

Associations Between Initial Glycated Hemoglobin at Diabetes Diagnosis, Longitudinal Changes and Medication Effects, and the Severity and Progression of Sight‐Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment in patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Awareness of risk factors is necessary to reduce or prevent harmful effects of DR such as irreversible vision loss, and to help ensure early treatment.

Association of the Monocyte–to–High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio With Diabetic Retinopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an essential contributor to the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The monocyte–to–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) is a novel and simple measure ...

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

Review of Diabetic Macular Oedema Therapy [PDF]

European Ophthalmic Review, 2017
Within the realm of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is one of the most common causes of visual loss in the young adult population. In this review, we will discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology and treatment of DMO. A brief historical view of the treatment perspective will be presented as well.

Diabetic retinopathy in Greenland and Denmark—Can differences in risk factors explain the lower prevalence in Greenland?

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is low in Greenland. Factors underlying the low prevalence may potentially protect against the development of DR. Comparing Greenlandic and Danish populations, this register‐based study explored differences in risk factors that may explain differences in DR prevalence.
