Our intuition often misleads us into thinking that general obesity carries the same risk as central obesity. Our study shows that visceral, not subcutaneous, fat drives peripheral #neuropathy through diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, and vascular disease.
X was once a valuable platform for exchanging ideas. However, with the amplification of misinformation, messages getting buried, and the ownerโs retweeting of false content, it is no longer a platform for meaningful conversations.
Our latest research on CCM shows that corneal endothelial cell density is significantly reduced in dementia and is associated with cortical gray matter atrophy, while corneal nerve fiber loss is evident in both mild cognitive impairment and dementia. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wโฆ
As AI advances in the analysis of corneal nerve morphology, @Yiannaras et al., from Prof. @Rayazamalik's lab, showed that corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) can distinguish patterns of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3967โฆ
Pleasure to present on neuropathy in prediabetes & diabetes at the 29th TMIMS international symposium: a new era for diagnosis and treatment of #diabetic_neuropathy at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science. Thank you Dr Odriozola & Dr Sango for the kind invitation!
Weight management in diabetes: study highlights neuroprotective role of weight loss medications
On Neurodiab website a signaling of articles on #diabeticneuropathy

Did you know diabetic neuropathy affects millions of people, leading to distressing complications which affect well-being? This @WorldDiabetesDay, @NEUROdiab_eu Youth Committee is working to improve well-being & reduce the impact of #neuropathy. Together, we can make a difference
Honored to celebrate 10 years at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar! Proud to contribute to CCM research on neurological disorders with Prof. Malik's team and mentor medical students through the AOC program. Grateful for the journey and the impact we've made together!
Choosing diabetes medications that promote weight loss may help reduce nerve damage, improve long-term outcomes for patients. Weight management is crucial in diabetes care.
Their study found that people with type 2 diabetes on medications that cause weight gain had worse nerve damage and a greater loss of corneal nerves over time compared to those on weight loss medications.
Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the effect of glucose lowering medication associated with weight change on DPN.
Could an eye camera be a game-changer in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases? ๐ง ๐ฌ
We think yes!
In this podcast, we argue that corneal confocal microscopy makes sense as a biomarker and look into the future.
