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 ...
متن کاملLight exposure and macular pigment optical density.
PURPOSE Biochemical research has demonstrated that lutein and zeaxanthin, the two macular carotenoids, are bleachable pigments. Further, evidence suggests that exposure to UV light can degrade plasma carotenoid levels in vivo. The present study investigated the effects of exposure to normal levels of light on the levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the retina. METHODS The optical density of ma...
متن کاملCorrelation between Visual Acuity and Optical Coherence Tomography-Measured Retinal Thickness in Diabetic Macular Edema
Background and Objective: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the common complications of diabetes which significantly accounts for preventable visual impairment and blindness. Central macular thickness (CMT) is a feature found in DME patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT)-measured CMT and visual acuity (VA) in patients with DME bef...
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...
