Article Synopsis
  • * Manually labeling unstructured medical reports for DR analysis is labor-intensive, leading to the development of DR-GPT, a large language model designed to classify DR severity from these reports.
  • * DR-GPT demonstrated high accuracy in severity classification and improved the performance of image classifiers when its annotations were combined with fundus images, showcasing the potential of AI in healthcare.

Background: As the retina is suggested to mirror the brain, we hypothesized that diabetic retinopathy and macular edema are indicative of stroke risk in type 1 diabetes and sought to assess this association in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: We included 1,268 adult FinnDiane Study participants with type 1 diabetes (age 38.7 ± 11.

Objectives: A third of asymptomatic individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) show signs of cerebrovascular disease in brain MRI. These signs associate with advanced stages of diabetic retinal disease, but not in mild or moderate retinopathy. We aimed to evaluate a wider spectrum of retinal changes by exploring the relationship between quantitative measures of retinal vessel parameters (RVP) and cerebrovascular changes in T1D.

Introduction: Diabetic neuropathy and diabetic eye disease are well known complications of type 1 diabetes. We hypothesized that chronic hyperglycemia also damages the optic tract, which can be measured using routine magnetic resonance imaging. Our aim was to compare morphological differences in the optic tract between individuals with type 1 diabetes and healthy control subjects.
