Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dropout in Diabetic Patients with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

This study aims to compare meibomian gland (MG) dropout and MG dysfunction (MGD) between patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) with moderate-severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and patients with no diabetes (NDM). This prospective, transversal, age, and gender-matched case-control study included 98 DM and 106 NDM eyes. Dry eye disease (DED) and MGD evaluations were performed, including meibography (Keratograph 5M).

Clinical course of diabetic ketoacidosis in hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis.

Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HP) is an uncommon condition accounting for 1% to 4% of cases of acute pancreatitis, mostly associated with poor glycemic control. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may complicate the clinical course of HP. Our objective was to identify clinical and demographic differences between HP and DKA patients compared with those without DKA.
