Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and the changes in corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (SNP) and corneal dendritic cells (DCs).

Methods: 58 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy participants underwent assessment of the corneal nerve. The DR group was divided into no diabetic retinopathy (NDR) and 29 eyes with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

Background: Preterm birth (< 37 weeks' gestation) alters cerebrovascular development due to the premature transition from a foetal to postnatal circulatory system, with potential implications for future cerebrovascular health. This study aims to explore potential differences in the Circle of Willis (CoW), a key arterial ring that perfuses the brain, of healthy adults born preterm.

Methods: A total of 255 participants (108 preterm, 147 full-term) were included in the analysis.

Background: We aimed to characterize factors associated with the under-studied complication of cognitive decline in aging people with long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: Joslin "Medalists" (n = 222; T1D ≥ 50 years) underwent cognitive testing. Medalists (n = 52) and age-matched non-diabetic controls (n = 20) underwent neuro- and retinal imaging.

In the last 10 years the field of prenatal diagnosis has been significantly reshaped followed by the implementation of noninvasive prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing methodologies in clinical practice. Based on a superior performance and higher sensitivity and specificity than the former practice of biochemical markers screening, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommend noninvasive prenatal cfDNA screening for trisomy 21, 18, 13, and sex chromosome aneuploidy to all pregnant people. While cfDNA screening is helpful in risk assessment for the most common autosomal trisomies, cfDNA also provides information about fetal sex chromosomes.

Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: Individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can present with diverse renal and extra-renal manifestations. Large vessel anomalies, such as cerebral aneurysms, are potentially fatal extra-renal manifestations. However, limited research has been conducted on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
