Purpose: To compare two artificial intelligence (AI)-based Automated Diabetic Retinopathy Image Assessment (ARIA) softwares in terms of concordance with specialist human graders and referable diabetic retinopathy (DR) diagnostic capacity.

Methods: Retrospective comparative study including 750 consecutive diabetes mellitus patients imaged for non-mydriatic fundus photographs. For each patient four images (45 degrees field of view) were captured, centered on the optic disc and macula.

Article Synopsis
  • Neutrophils fight bacteria using phagocytosis and release reactive substances like hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which can damage proteins.
  • The study found that lipid N-chloramines form in bacterial and monocytic cell membranes when exposed to HOCl, indicating their potential role in protein oxidation.
  • Glutathione, an antioxidant, can neutralize these lipid N-chloramines, suggesting their involvement in inflammation and the immune response, with reduced stability in living bacterial cells compared to artificial membranes.
