Association of Abnormal Renal Profiles and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema in an Asian Population With Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Abnormal renal profiles at baseline, including a high serum creatinine level, low estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, were associated with the development of proliferative DR in patients with type 2 diabetes during the follow-up periods.

Type 2 diabetes-associated carotid plaque burden is increased in patients with retinopathy compared to those without retinopathy

TL;DR: DR in T2D patients without CVD and with normal renal function is associated with a higher atherosclerotic burden (presence and number of plaques) in the carotid arteries, and these patients may be at a higher risk for future CV events.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 cytokines cross-talk in type 1 diabetes mellitus: relationship to microvascular complications and bone mineral density.

TL;DR: High IL-6, IL-8 with low IGF-1 levels are found in adolescents with T1DM, and it seems that poor glycemic control exacerbates inflammatory cytokines, increases peripheral neuropathy, and decreases bone mineral density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the corneal endothelium in patients with diabetes mellitus type I and II.

TL;DR: The results indicated that type I diabetic corneas are more susceptible to environmental changes than type II diabetes mellitus, and the alteration of the corneal endothelial morphology in type I Diabetes mellitus as compared to normal subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micronutrients and diabetic retinopathy a systematic review.

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that dietary intake or plasma levels of vitamins C and E and magnesium do not seem to be associated with diabetic retinopathy as discussed by the authors, however, these findings require confirmation.

The Wisconsin epidemiologic study of diabetic retinopathy. VI: Retinal photocoagulation

TL;DR: Seventy-two percent of eyes of younger onset and 45% of Eyes of older onset persons that had received panretinal photocoagulation treatment were found to have incomplete regression of retinal new vessels, and in approximately half of these eyes severe proliferative retinopathy (Diabetic Retinopathy Study High Risk Characteristics [DRS-HRC]) was present.

TL;DR: Data from the Diabetic Retinopathy Study (DRS) show that photocoagulad inhibited the progression of retinopathy, and beneficial effects were noted to some degree in all those stages of diabeticretinopathy which were included in the Study.

The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy: IX. Four-Year Incidence and Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy When Age at Diagnosis Is Less Than 30 Years

TL;DR: This paper performed a population-based study in southern Wisconsin of insulin-taking diabetic persons diagnosed before 30 years of age and found that the incidence of proliferative retinopathy rose with increasing duration until 13 to 14 years of diabetes, thereafter remaining between 14% and 17%.

The Reproducibility of a Method to Identify the Overuse and Underuse of Medical Procedures

TL;DR: A parallel, three-way replication of the RAND-University of California at Los Angeles appropriateness method as applied to two medical procedures, coronary revascularization and hysterectomy, found that the appropri ateness method is far from perfect.
