Optimizing Measurement of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Small Blood Samples of Premature Infants [PDF]
To establish a method that allows for the reliable assessment of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) concentrations in very small blood samples of preterm infants. Systemic VEGF measurements are important in view of the most appropriate Anti-VEGF

Combining Fine- and Coarse-Grained Classifiers for Diabetic Retinopathy Detection
Visual artefacts of early diabetic retinopathy in retinal fundus images are usually small in size, inconspicuous, and scattered all over retina. Detecting diabetic retinopathy requires physicians to look at the whole image and fixate on some specific ...

Long-term glycemic variability and risk of adverse outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Glycemic variability is emerging as a measure of glycemic control, which may be a reliable predictor of complications. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association between HbA1c variability and micro- and macrovascular ...

Vascular changes in diabetic retinopathy-a longitudinal study in the Nile rat. [PDF]
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and is a major cause of blindness, but an understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease has been hampered by a lack of accurate animal models. Here, we explore the dynamics

Classification of pathology in diabetic eye disease [PDF]
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that can eventually lead to blindness. Early identification of this complication reduces the risk of blindness by initiating timely treatment.
