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.

A reference standard for the measurement of macular oedema [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006
Macular oedema is associated with several conditions that lead to blindness. Accurate measurement of macular thickness is important in order to follow disease progression and evaluate treatments. Four techniques are examined to determine the best reference standard for the detection and quantification of macular oedema: ultrasound, optical coherence ...

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.

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.
