A summary continuation analysis evaluating the prevalence and predictors of diabetic retinopathy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
Abstract: Context: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of acquired blindness in adults, affects approximately 93 million people globally. It is a serious complication of type 2 diabetes, resulting from prolonged damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Although largely preventable and treatable, DR continues to be the main cause of vision loss among working-age adults and significantly impacts quality of life. While most studies on DR in Nepal have …

Effect of Polyherbal Compound (Low Cost) in Management of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is chronic ailment associated with life threating target organ damage. The present approach of treatment is to maintain glycaemic level within physiological normal level with different means, which may favour angiopathic changes even with normal blood sugar. Ayurveda believes that Medas i.e. lipid metabolism is important pathological change observed in DM that ends up presentation of elevated level of peripheral blood sugar. The quest is to come with …

Extraction of Retinal Features in Fundus Images for Glaucoma Diagnosis
Abstract: Glaucoma is a major cause for blindness, identified early by the structural changes of optic nerve head in the retina. Retinal image analysis is emerging as an important screening tool for prior detection of eye diseases. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss and it is considered as second leading cause for blindness worldwide. In this research work, …

Emerging Trends in Photobiology: Exploring the Photophysics and Photobiology of the Eye
Abstract: The eye consists of three main segments: the cornea, lens, and retina. The primary function of the anterior ocular tissue, the cornea and lens, is to transmit and focus light onto the retina without distortion. They also filter UV light (under 400 nm), preventing it from reaching the retina. While light reaching the retina is mostly used for vision, it can also have various effects on the eye's constituents, both …

A Review on the Clinical and Pathological Significance of Prorenin Receptor [(P)RR]
Abstract: The (pro)renin receptor (P)RR discovery, which is a novel constituent of Renin Angiotensin-Aldosteron System (RAS) has brought renin and (pro)renin back into spotlight. The (P)RR binds both renin and its inactive precursor (pro)renin, this binding triggers a cascade of intracellular signalling that eventually leads to upregulation of the expression of profibrotic genes, potentially leading to pathogenesis of cardiac and renal fibrosis, growth and remodelling. Clinically, it is also seen that …

Review on Optic Atrophy
Abstract: The illness known as otic atrophy damages the eye. It causes anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, also known as glaucoma, and strokes of the optic nerve. A change in vision, notably blurred vision, problems with peripheral (side) vision, problems with color vision, and a loss of vision sharpness, are indications of optic atrophy. The final stage of a disease process that affects the retinogeniculate section of the visual pathway is called …

In vitro/In vivo Study of Anti-inflammatory Effect of Cyperus rotundus on Diabetic Complications
Abstract: The reactive oxygen species (ROS) develop oxidative stress that contributes to the cause of human diseases. Radicals which enhance inflammation are nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide. Anion mediate and amplify the inflammation process, mediate vascular permeability and platelet aggregation leading to diabetic complications due to disruption of steady state of pro-oxidants and antioxidants. Cyperus rotundus plant extract was subjected to foraging radical activity with hemolysate sample to …
