Bleeding from the site of surgery generally leads to obscurity of the surgical field, which may complicate the execution of the procedure. It also increases the duration of the operation and may necessitate blood transfusion. Although bleeding from large and medium size vessels can be controlled by using electrocoagulation and ligation of the vessel, capillary oozing and bleeding from the small...

Background. Morbid obesity is believed to be an extreme of the metabolic spectrum. Moreover, diabetes is hypothesized to be associated with a chronic inflammatory state that is not observed in nondiabetic healthy individuals. We investigated the differences in expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by surgical stress between diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. Method. 39 morbidly obese ...

Background: Perioperative exacerbation of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance is associated with increased complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. We recently reported that glucose load during anesthesia with sevoflurane suppressed lipid catabolism in diabetic patients. In contrast to inhaled anesthetics, propofol solution contains triglycerides, which can be an energy source during ...

For eyes with diabetic retinopathy which require vitreous surgery and pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP), pre-treatment of PRP before vitreous surgery reduce the activity of diabetic retinopathy, however sometimes cause macular edema leading to visual disturbance. Some cytokines in the vitreous increase in eyes with diabetic macular edema, thus the relationship between PRP and vitreous cytokine...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech, South San Francisco, Calif, USA) combined with cataract surgery for the prevention of clinically significant macular edema (CSME) in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). This prospective interventional case series included fifty-four eyes of 54 patients with a previous diagnosis of ...

diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in the world. strict control of blood sugar, blood pressure, laser therapy, pharmacotherapy and vitrectomy are of among common diabetic retinopathy treatments. further studies to investigate the effect of protein kinase c inhibitors, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, growth hormone and other proposed treatments for diabetic retinopa...

The present was a prospective, comparative, hospital-based conducted from December 2019 2020 Ophthalmology department tertiary care referral hospital Eastern India. All aged between 50 80 years either sex with cat...

BACKGROUND Glucose homeostasis improves within days following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. The dynamic metabolic response to caloric intake following RYGB has been assessed using liquid mixed meal tolerance tests (MMTT). Few studies have evaluated the glycemic and hormonal response to a solid mixed meal in subjects with diabetes prior to, and within the first month following RYGB. ...
