TL;DR: It was found that the odds of higher lutein intake were greater among those with DR than those without DR, and after adjusting for confounders, intake of luteIn was not associated with DR.

TL;DR: Key factors associated with decreased accommodation in the diabetic population in a multiple linear regression analysis include sex, with the female population being more susceptible; absence of myopia; longer duration of diabetes; higher glycosylated hemoglobin level; higher blood glucose level; increasing severity of diabetic retinopathy; and higher systolic blood pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between retinopathy and cardiac structure and function in a cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus was assessed using echocardiography and multilevel mixed models.

TL;DR: A comparison between information obtained from response to the question "Have you been told that the diabetes has affected the back of your eyes, that is, the retina?" and the determination of the severity of retinopathy by grading of stereoscopic fundus photographs is presented.

TL;DR: Overall agreement for nine otoscopic signs ranged from 73 percent (vascularity) to 100 percent (drainage) and there were small examiner differences in tympanometric measures of equivalent ear-canal volume (Vea) and tympa width.
