Cataracts can cause visual impairment in diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus affects different parts of the eye and causes many complications and problems before, during, and after intraocular surgeries. In this review, we will discuss the effects of diabetes on different aspects of cataract surgery and review the current management of diabetic cataracts. Careful preoperative examination of the patient's ocular surface, cornea, iris, and posterior segment, as well as the use of advanced phacoemulsification techniques, new intraocular lenses and the appropriate use of auxiliary medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-vascular endothelial growth factors have improved the outcomes of cataract surgery in diabetic patients.

Purpose: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the leading cause of surgical failure following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). In this study, we aimed to explore ocular and systemic risk factors for PVR due to RRD in a large patient database.
Methods: Patients who have a diagnosis of RRD and PVR, and who have been seen in the last seven years prior to analysis (January 2015-February 2023) were identified in the Vestrum Health database.

In this study, we analyzed the potential associations of selected laboratory and anamnestic parameters, as well as 12 genetic polymorphisms (SNPs), with clinical COVID-19 occurrence and severity in 869 hospitalized patients. The SNPs analyzed by qPCR were selected based on population-wide genetic (GWAS) data previously indicating association with the severity of COVID-19, and additional SNPs that have been shown to be important in cellular processes were also examined. We confirmed the associations of COVID-19 with pre-existing diabetes and found an unexpected association between less severe disease and the loss of smell and taste.

BACKGROUND Studies using transgenic mouse models have demonstrated that estrogen is necessary for the development of cervical cancer, particularly in tissues responsive to estrogen. Estrogen also protects cervical cancer cells from apoptosis, suggesting its role in the survival and persistence of cancer cells. CASE REPORT An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and stage III chronic renal failure was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, FIGO stage IB2.

Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), as a pivotal protein in the cellular stress response, plays a significant role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Consequently, therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting TXNIP may offer novel interventions for patients with DN. Our study is to explore the therapeutic potential of targeting TXNIP in mitigating renal tubular injury induced by hyperglycemia.
