Diabetic Macular Edema Pathophysiology: Vasogenic versus Inflammatory
Diabetic macular edema (DME) can cause blindness in diabetic patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy (DR). DM parameters controls (glycemia, arterial tension, and lipids) are the gold standard for preventing DR and DME. Although the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play a role in the development of DME, the pathological processes leading to the onset of this disease ar...
متن کاملTargeting the Pathophysiology of Diabetic Macular Edema
D iabetic macular edema (DME) is the leading cause of blindness in the diabetic population, and its prevalence is variable. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) reported that 27% of type 1 diabetic patients developed macular edema within 9 years of diabetes onset (1). Other studies indicate that in type 2 diabetic patients the prevalence increases from 3% within 5 years of diagno...
متن کاملRemote 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 ...
متن کاملDiabetic Macular Edema
Introduction Over the last one decade the management of diabetic macular edema has undergone a paradigm change. This is attributed to the newer diagnostic tests and pharmacological agents. There are enough good randomized controlled trials to prove the efficacy of these drugs. However, in clinical practice, there are many situations where the application of the findings of these clinical trials...
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...
