Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy is ocular pathology in poor glycaemic controlled Diabetic patient Characterized by micro-vascular pathology with capillary closure in the retina leading to hypoxia of tissue there by formation of immature vessels to provide better oxygenation of retinal tissue.

Introduction Diabetes mellitus is an epidemic disorder, which in Denmark alone is affecting 320,000 patients. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent long term complication to diabetes mellitus (1) and a feared cause of severe vision loss and blindness (2).
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Defects in vessels and neovascularization makes diabetic chronic wounds difficult to treat, A decrease of angiogenic factor expression such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor(VEGF) and its receptors is involved in angiogenesis inhibition in diabetic ulcers. LLLT as a therapeutic treatment
The published evidence from clinical trials in the literature has demonstrated that conventional PRP using 2000-2500 burns may be used safely and effectively in PDR patients over 2 or 3 sessions. A recent audit of 313 Pascal laser treatments performed at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (2007-2008) has
Background and Significance
With an aging population, the prevalence of cutaneous malignancies continues to pose significant burden in terms of morbidity and economic cost. It is estimated that 5.4 million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancers, i.e squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell
Diabetic macular edema (DME) results from abnormal leakage of macromolecules into the extracellular space from microaneurysms and incompetent blood vessel walls due to small vessel damage from high blood glucose levels. Oncotic forces then allow water into the extracellular space. Abnormalities in
Progressive microangiopathy and endothelial dysfunction are identified in early phases of systemic sclerosis. These alterations may result in progressive reduction of vessel lumen, decreased blood flow, and a state of chronic hypoxia resulting in digital ulcers, digital pitting, and, in more severe
Sepsis remains a common entity in critical care patients with remarkable mortality. Microcirculatory dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of sepsis and organ dysfunction. The main causal mechanisms are vasoactive substances such as nitric oxide and endothelin, destroyed
1. INTRODUCTION:
The local method of autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation consists of harvesting bone marrow from the iliac crest, its separation using cell separator to generate ABMSCs (CD 34 positive) and their subsequent multiple injections into a limb suffering from chronic and
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in children in developed countries around the world, and an increasing cause of blindness in developing countries.
The retina lines the inside of the eye. It functions as "film" within the camera, which is the eye. When an infant is
Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of visual impairment in the United States. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a manifestation of diabetic retinopathy that produces loss of central vision. Data from the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy (WESDR) estimate that after 15 years of
The most common underlying etiologic factors responsible for chronic delayed healing among lower extremity wounds encountered in the outpatient clinic are chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), diabetic neuropathy, and arterial insufficiency (AI). One or more of these factors can be identified in more
Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disease in developed countries, with prevalence estimates ranging between 2 to 5% of the world's population. Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema are common microvascular complications in diabetic patients and may lead to decreasing of visual
