New biomarkers in the eyes could unlock the key to management of diabetic retinopathy
New biomarkers found in the eyes could unlock the key to helping manage diabetic retinopathy, and perhaps even diabetes, according to new research conducted at the Indiana University School of Optometry.
During its early stages, diabetes can affect the eyes before the changes are detectable with a regular clinical examination. However, new retinal research has found that these changes can be measured earlier than previously thought with specialized optical techniques and computer analysis.
The ability to detect biomarkers for this sight-threatening condition may lead to the early identification of people at risk for diabetes or a visual impairment, as well as improve physicians ability to manage these patients. The study appears in the journal PLOS One.
The Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington has announced it will be honoring Anthony Fauci
According to the school’s announcement, the award, also dubbed the Ryan White Distinguished Leadership Award, honors recipients for their contributions to HIV/AIDS prevention “and for being an exemplary bearer of the standard of excellence and commitment needed to combat HIV/AIDS.”
The award was named for the Indiana teen, Ryan White, whose fight against discrimination targeting people living with HIV/AIDS after he was denied admittance to school following his diagnosis garnered national attention in the 1980s.

âJustice Rising: Robert Kennedyâs America in Black and Whiteââ by Patricia Sullivan. Harvard University Press. 515 pages. $39.95
Robert F. Kennedy âhad a remarkable memory,â screenwriter Budd Schulberg recalled, âas well as a unique capacity for indignation.â Kennedy was not âthe last of the great liberals,â Herbert Lopez, an African American activist acknowledged, but on racial issues he was âthe last of the great believables.â
As he accompanied Kennedy through Black and Latino neighborhoods in Los Angeles during the 1968 Democratic presidential primary, John Lewis concluded that the outpouring of emotion for the candidate âwas love. It was adoration. People, especially young people, just mobbed us, climbing over cars, trying to get closeâ to him.
