Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects over 500 million people worldwide, necessitating personalized health management programs for effective long-term control. Among the various biomarkers, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a crucial indicator for monitoring long-term blood glucose levels and assessing diabetes progression. This study introduces an innovative approach to diabetes management by integrating a mobile application and machine learning.

- The study aimed to explore the link between childhood obesity and the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- Using data from large genetic databases, researchers applied Mendelian randomization methods to analyze the relationship between childhood body mass index (BMI) and GDM.
- Results indicated that higher childhood BMI significantly increases the risk of GDM, highlighting the importance of tackling childhood obesity as a preventive measure.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for treating subluxated cataracts, analyzing surgeries performed on 19 eyes at Kunhua Hospital from 2017 to 2021.
- The rotator-and-chop technique was employed to manage the cataracts, using viscoelastic agents and capsular hooks to stabilize the capsule, and anterior vitrectomy was performed in 15 eyes.
- Follow-up results showed significant improvement in best corrected visual acuity (from 0.06 to 0.62), with all eyes having well-centered IOLs and clear corneas, indicating the practicality and success of the surgical method.
Article Synopsis
- Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a rare but severe complication that can occur during inner eye surgeries, leading to poor visual outcomes, with risk factors that include advanced age and certain medical conditions.
- A retrospective study revealed that SCH developed in six cases, primarily during cataract and vitrectomy surgeries, and was associated with factors like hard cataracts and low eye pressure during procedures.
- Diagnosis was done using B-scan ultrasonography, and management involved secondary surgeries, with final visual acuity results showing significant variability, with some eyes retaining no light perception.
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) polymorphisms have been considered as risk factors of cataracts, but the results still remain controversial. In this study, we have performed a systematic meta-analysis to evaluate the association between MMP-2 polymorphisms and cataract risks.
Methods: Published literature was retrieved from Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of two surgical methods—releasable scleral buckling (RSB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)—for treating retinal detachment in 110 patients.
- Results showed similar success rates in both procedures for restoring anatomy and function, with 100% final anatomical success for both methods.
- However, RSB was associated with fewer cataract complications compared to PPV, suggesting that RSB is the preferred option for this condition.
Aim: To analyze peripapillary atrophy β/γ zone (PPA-β/γ) and the optic disc ovality index, and to assess their associations with the axial length (AL), refractive error, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), choroidal thickness (CT), and age in highly myopic eyes.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational case series. The study included 667 patients consecutively examined for highly myopic eyes [spherical equivalent ≤-6.
