Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes associated with irreversible loss of blindness. Various types of DR have been reported like mild non-proliferative retinopathy, moderate non-proliferative retinopathy, severe non-proliferative retinopathy and proliferative retinopathy. A number of signaling mechanisms like nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), cyclo-oxygenase (COX), intracellula...

Two hundred and seventeen diabetic patients attending the eye clinic were examined to determine the prevalence of retinal changes, and the association between diabetic retinopathy and risk factors. A detailed fundus examination was done, after dilating the pupils, using 90 D lens and slitlamp biomicroscope. Diabetic retinopathy was detected in 112 patients (51.6%). Background retinopathy was se...

introduction : laser therapy prevents complications of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (pdr), central retinal vein occlusion (crvo) and branch retinal vein occlusion (brvr), but its effect on visual acuity is controversial. this study evaluated the effect of laser on visual acuity in these patients. materials and methods: this interventional study conducted before–after treatment and evaluat...

PURPOSE We evaluated the relationship between long-term glycemic control and the proportion of patients developing proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) among cases with mild type preproliferative diabetic retinopathy (PPDR). METHODS The relationship was evaluated between the mean hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) value during a period of at least 2 years and the proportion of patients developing PDR...

PURPOSE To identify vitreous proteins that were differentially expressed in patients suffering from proliferative diabetic retinopathy with active neovascularization. METHODS The vitreous samples of 15 active proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, and the results were compared with those from age-matched patients...
