P 338 Retinopathy in IDDM in Europe, the eurodiab IDDM complications study

Puroose: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is assumed to develop because vasogenic factors are released from retinal areas that are ischaemic and hypoxic secondary to occlusion of the retinal vascular bed. It has been propclsed that vascular occlusion in diabetic retinopethy may be due to the deposition of periodic acid Schiff positive glycoprotein compounds in the retinal vascular walls. but ...

QTc Interval Prolongation Is Independently Associated With Severe Hypoglycemic Attacks in Type 1 Diabetes From the EURODIAB IDDM Complications Study

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to assess whether severe hypoglycemic attacks were cross-sectionally associated with abnormalities of the QTc interval in type 1 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study included 3,248 type 1 diabetic patients from the EURODIAB IDDM Complications Study. Severe hypoglycemia was defined as an attack serious enough to require the help of another person. A co...

P 226 Refractive components in IDDM. A twins study

Purtx~se: We like to demonstrate glycation of S,-, R,and y-crystallins in the microsectioned bovine lens, by isoelectric focusing using three staining methods. Methods: Pour bovine lenses of 1.185+0.131 years were frozen-sectioned into equa'cor and 11 layers. Watersoluble crvstallins were seuarated bv isoelectric focusing an8 stained: 1. with ?oomassie brilliant Blue (CBB); 2. with the lectin (...

Natural History of Retinopathy in FCPD, MODY and IDDM - A Follow-Up Study

This paper reports for the first time on the natural history of diabetic retinopathy in three forms of youth onset diabetes seen in our country based on a 4 year follow-up study. Forty patients each with Fibrocalculous Pancreatic Diabetes (FCPD), Maturity Onset Diabetes of Youth (MODY) and Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) were followed for periods up to four years with annual fundus c...
