Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a frequent complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and is the main cause of vision loss in the working population in western countries.
Several studies provided evidence that good diabetic control is important to prevent and delay disease progression, but while some
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), characterized by neovascularization and fibrous proliferation, is a severe and common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Persistent vitreous hemorrhage (VH) caused by neovascularization and tractional retinal detachment (TRD) caused by fibrous
Background Complications of diabetes represent the main concern for modern diabetes therapy, and it has become a priority to further characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms of these complications to ensure the development of novel rational therapeutic strategies.
Although the prolonged
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes mellitus that can lead to significant visual morbidity. Important features of DR are microaneurysms, vascular leakage, vascular occlusion, and retinal neovascularization. Diabetic macular edema (DME) occurs when there is leakage in the
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is important vision threatening complication of diabetes mellitus. Laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, intravitreal steroid injection and intravitreal antiVEGF (anti vascular endothelial growth factor) injection are being used as treatment of DME. Sustained releasing
Background: the investigators hypothesize that retinal vessel derived biomarkers, obtained using their automated, precise, fast, novel tool for measuring retinal vessels in retinal images can identify Veterans at increased risk for diabetic retinopathy and hypertension, before any overt signs of
Diabetes mellitus and its complications represent nowadays an important issue in Public Health terms. The WHO expectations indicate that around 2025 the European population with diabetes will reach about 12%, and it has been estimated that the percent in the USA will be around 10% (King, 1995).
The
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. Signs of retinopathy are detected in almost 100% of type 1 diabetic patients who have had their disease for at least 20 years and almost 100% of type 2 diabetic patients with the similar duration of disease (1).
