Intestinal neutrophil extracellular traps promote gut barrier damage exacerbating endotoxaemia, systemic inflammation and progression of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Aims/hypothesis: Within the small intestine, neutrophils play an integral role in preventing bacterial infection. Upon interaction with bacteria or bacteria-derived antigens, neutrophils initiate a multi-staged response of which the terminal stage is NETosis, formation of protease-decorated nuclear DNA into extracellular traps. NETosis has a great propensity to elicit ocular damage and has been associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema (DME) progression.

Department of Ophthalmology, Rigshospitalet-Glostrup, Glostrup, Denmark.
Purpose: We report a case of Eales disease in Inuit and reflect on advances in telemedicine and treatment of retinal disease since the first report of Eales' disease in Greenlandic Inuit was published.
Patients And Methods: A 41-year-old Inuit female complaining of blurred vision was referred to our eye department. There had been no sign of diabetic retinopathy during diabetic eye screening and the patient had been treated for tuberculosis in 2010.
Retinal biomarkers for the risk of Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.
Front Aging Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Neurology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Purpose: Differentiating between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can be challenging due to overlapping cognitive and behavioral manifestations. Evidence regarding non-invasive and early-stage biomarkers remains limited. Our aim was to identify retinal biomarkers for the risk of AD and FTD in populations without dementia and explore underlying brain structural mechanisms.

Clin Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Kasturba Medical College Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Udupi, Karnataka, India.
Purpose: To correlate the optical coherence tomography (OCT) based morphological patterns of diabetic macular edema (DME) and prognostic biomarkers with severity of anaemia in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Patients And Methods: Single centre, observational cross sectional study of 42 eyes of 42 patients with DME and DKD. Eyes were divided into 2 groups: Group A (Haemoglobin level above 10 g% and group B with haemoglobin less than 10 g%).
Association Between HbA1c Levels and the Severity of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, College of Medicine, Qassim University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Buraidah, SAU.
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a significant microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), contributing to visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Understanding the factors associated with the severity of DR is crucial for effective prevention and management. This study aimed to explore the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level and other parameters with different stages of DR.
