Prediction of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with hemoglobin level.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of hemoglobin (HGB) level in predicting proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: We assessed 426 individuals without PDR at baseline (213 men; 213 women) from the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes ... Read more...

Foveal ganglion cell layer damage in ischemic diabetic maculopathy: correlation of optical coherence tomographic and anatomic changes.

19 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To describe the morphologic features of ischemic diabetic maculopathy by high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and their correlation with the damaged foveal avascular zone (FAZ) on fluorescein angiography (FA). DESIGN: ... Read more...

Intravitreal pegaptanib sodium (Macugen) for diabetic macular oedema.

10 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To report the functional and anatomical outcomes resulting from the use of intravitreal pegaptanib sodium (Macugen) in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective outcome analysis, by optical coherence ... Read more...
