Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Diabetic Macular Edema
Objective: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) as the transient ischemia and reperfusion of the arm is a promising method for protecting different tissue from future ischemia. These effects might be mediated through vascular and endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. We investigated the influence of RIPC on diabetic macular edema (DME) as a chronic ischemic condition in patients who were ...

We review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of cystoid macular edema (CME). Inflammatory, diabetic, post-cataract, and macular edema due to age-related macular degeneration is described. The role of chronic inflammation and hypoxia and direct macular traction is evaluated in each case according to different views from the literature. The different diagnostic methods for evaluating...
متن کاملRefractory Diabetic Macular Edema
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is arguably one of the most important challenges in ophthalmology. Macular edema refractory to laser photocoagulation remains the most prevalent cause of untreatable vision loss in diabetes and is responsible for visual disability in millions of people worldwide. The lack of an effective therapeutic solution accounts for the range of interventions proposed. These in...
متن کاملDiabetic Macular Edema
UNLABELLED Diabetic macular edema (DME), one the most prevalent causes of visual loss in industrialized countries, may be diagnosed at any stage of diabetic retinopathy. The diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of DME have become straightforward with recent developments in fundus imaging, such as optical coherence tomography. Laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections, and pars plana vitrec...
