The recent rise of artificial intelligence represents a revolutionary way of improving current medical practices, including cardiovascular (CV) assessment scores. Retinal vascular alterations may reflect systemic processes such as the presence of CV risk factors. The value of swept-source retinal optical coherence tomography-angiography (SS OCT-A) imaging is significantly enhanced by image analysis tools that provide rapid and accurate quantification of vascular features.

- * The study aims to investigate the transport dysfunction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in the fetoplacental unit and its link to ROP by evaluating the relationship between placental fatty acid receptor expression and ROP occurrence.
- * If the study finds a correlation, it could identify new mechanisms behind ROP, thereby aiding in public health strategies to prevent this condition in vulnerable infants.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to vision loss when diabetic retinopathy develops. Retinal microvascular alterations occur before the appearance of clinical signs on a fundus examination. This study aimed to analyze retinal vascular parameters on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in patients with type 1 diabetes without diabetic retinopathy in comparison with non-diabetic volunteers.

- The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and effects of cystoid macular edema (CME) following surgery for retinal detachment and to identify risk factors associated with it.
- Conducted over 5 years, the study analyzed 493 adult patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, finding a 28% rate of CME at 12 months post-surgery.
- Risk factors for developing CME included poorer initial visual acuity, severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy, the use of endolaser retinopexy, and undergoing cataract surgery within 6 months of the primary repair.
