Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of using autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) system for identification of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema on productivity of retina specialists in Bangladesh. Globally, the number of people with diabetes mellitus is increasing. Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic, progressive complication of diabetes mellitus that affects the microvasculature of the retina, which if left untreated can potentially result in vision loss. Early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy can prevent potential blindness. Study Aim: To assess the impact of using autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) system for detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema on physician productivity in Bangladesh. Main study question: Will ophthalmologists with clinic days randomized to use autonomous AI DR detection for all persons with diabetes (diagnosed or un-diagnosed) visiting their clinic system have a greater number of examined patients with diabetes (by either AI or clinical exam), and a greater complexity of examined patients on a recognized grading scale, per physician working hour than those randomized not to have autonomous AI screening for their diabetes population? The investigators anticipate that this study will demonstrate an increase in physician productivity, supporting efficiency for both physicians and patients, while also addressing increased access for DR screening; ultimately, preventing vision loss amongst diabetic patients. The study has the potential to contribute to the evidence base on the benefits of AI for physicians and patients. Additionally, the study has the potential to demonstrate the benefits (and/or challenges) of implementing AI in resource-constrained settings, such as Bangladesh.
This study evaluates the retinal vascular features in macula and papillary regions in patients affected by pseudophakic cystoid edema using optical coherence tomography angiography
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of D-4517.2 after single subcutaneous (SC) doses in healthy participants.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the usability of fundus image-guided focal electroretinography device with healthy subjects and with macular edema and macular degeneration patients.
Retrospective multi-center observational study on functional and morphological outcome of initial therapy for DME according to ESASO Morphologic Classification.
This prospective non-randomized open-label interventional study aimed to evaluate feasibility in regard to potential efficacy and safety of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injected in the suprachoroidal space (SCS) as a promising therapeutic route that provides a better bioavailability, longer sustained duration of action, and thus improved patients' compliance for the treatment of macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the microvascular complication in the eye due to uncontrolled diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 382 million people had diabetes in 2013 and this number is expected to rise to 592 million by 2035, while 175 million people remain undiagnosed. Ninety percent of these people suffer from type 2 Diabetes mellitus(DM). Over time, patients with non-proliferative DR may progress to more advance stages of DR, with increased risk of vision threatening conditions such as diabetic macular edema (DME). DME is the most frequent cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes and eventually can lead to blindness. The management strategy is crucial to prevent or limit the progression of DR. Patient education creates an important tool to control diabetes, to prevent complications and to reduce the cost. Several studies point out that diabetes group education, compared with individual education, was equally effective at improving diabetes control. Another group based education for type 2 DM shown effective in improving HbA1c, knowledge of diabetes, reduction of systolic blood pressure, body weight and requirement for diabetes medication. Studies have showed that group education had significant changes compared with individual education in HbA1c in 6 and 12, months and significant changes were found in fasting blood glucose in 12 months, diabetes knowledge, and self-management skills. Moreover, a study supported that, compared with individual counselling, group self-management education was associated with fewer acute complications and some improvements in the care process. There is no adequate evidence of which educations methods are the most effective in improving clinical outcomes of people with type 2 diabetes. There was a lack in diabetes management in India regarding the multidisciplinary diabetic intervention tool. Thus the investigator's aim is to focus on interventions to improve the compliance, knowledge/awareness about diabetes, physical activity, diet plan and attendance for diabetic check-up which got emerged from a qualitative study. There is a need to monitor the diabetic patients closely to ensure the compliance towards intervention given at home.
The Dexamethasone Posterior Segment Drug Delivery System (DEX PS DDS) Applicator is used to deliver an implant with medicine to the eye. AbbVie is updating the DEX PS DDS Applicator. This purpose of this study is to show that the updated DEX PS DDS Applicator works in adult participants with macular edema due to retinal diseases. The DEX PS DDS is approved for the treatment of macular edema. Participants will be placed into 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives the same treatment drug delivered using different applicators. Around 54 adult participants with macular edema will be enrolled in the study in approximately 7-10 sites in the United States. Participants will receive a single intravitreal (into the eye) administration of DEX PS DDS implant using either the currently-approved DEX PS DDS Applicator or the the updated Applicator. The participants will be observed for a duration of 7 days, with the DEX PS DDS implant received on day 1 and follow-up through day 7. The updates being evaluated in this study are related to the DEX PS DDS Applicator only, with the safety and efficacy of the DEX PS DDS implant well characterized and the same as the currently marketed product. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The applicator function will be checked by medical assessment, checking for side effects, procedural complications and/or product complaints, and evaluating the administration procedure.
Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), or Irvine-Gass syndrome, is retinal thickening of the macula, which usually develops within 3 months after surgery, with a peak incidence between 4 and 6 weeks. Despite recent improvements in surgical techniques, PCME remains one of the most common causes of visual decline following an uneventful cataract surgery. Symptoms of PCME usually are blurred vision, metamorphopsia, loss of contrast sensitivity, and central scotomas. PCME usually responds well to medical therapy or may resolve spontaneously but carries a risk of permanent vision loss or loss of contrast sensitivity. There is wide discrepancy in opinions about the most effective antiinflammatory drops for the prevention of PCME. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have attracted special interest because of higher incidence of cataract and increased risk for developing CME after cataract surgery. The optimum antiinflammatory prophylaxis for PCME in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) remains unknown. Purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of topical bromfenac and topical dexamethasone on intraocular concentration of interleukin-6 (IL6) and the incidence of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) after cataract surgery in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).
This study is intended to assess the exposure, safety, biological activity, and durability of UBX1325, a phosphate pro-drug, and its active parent molecule (UBX0601) following a single intravitreal (IVT) injection of UBX1325 in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
