Angiogenic microRNAs Linked to Incidence and Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 Diabetes
Anna Zampetaki,Peter Willeit,Peter Willeit,Peter Willeit,Simon Burr,Xiaoke Yin,Sarah R. Langley,Stefan Kiechl,Ronald Klein,Peter Rossing,Nishi Chaturvedi,Manuel Mayr +11 more
TL;DR: Two angiogenic miRNAs, miR-320a and miR -27b, are identified as potential biomarkers for diabetic retinopathy, and the antiangiogenic protein thrombospondin-1 is returned as a common target of both miRNas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between findings on cranial magnetic resonance imaging and retinal photography in the elderly: the Cardiovascular Health Study
W. T. Longstreth,Emily K. Marino Larsen,Ronald Klein,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,A. Richey Sharrett,David Lefkowitz,Teri A. Manolio +7 more
TL;DR: Associations between findings on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and retinal photographs and the smaller arteriovenous ratio were less prominent in this elderly population than have been described in middle-aged people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk prediction of coronary heart disease based on retinal vascular caliber (from the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities [ARIC] Study).
Kevin McGeechan,Gerald Liew,Petra Macaskill,Les Irwig,Ronald Klein,A. Richey Sharrett,Barbara E.K. Klein,Jie Jin Wang,Jie Jin Wang,Lloyd E. Chambless,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong +11 more
TL;DR: Although retinal vascular caliber independently predicted CHD risk in women, the incremental predictive ability over that of the Framingham model was modest and unlikely to translate meaningfully into clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Individuals With Diabetes Seeing Better?: A Long-Term Epidemiological Perspective
Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein +1 more
TL;DR: There was a lack of consensus on optimal glucose levels among physicians caring for individuals with diabetes and some clinicians believed that high blood glucose was less likely to result in the development of severe DR in subjects with type 2 diabetes than in those with type 1 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related eye disease, visual impairment, and driving in the elderly.
TL;DR: There is need for more information about visual decline and how it affects driving performance and for development of pragmatic approaches for detecting and assessing the elderly driver with functional visual deficits.
