#Sustained_corneal_nerve_damage is linked to the development of #Diabetic_Neuropathy. Regular #CCM monitoring can identify those at greater risk of diabetic neuropathy who may benefit from risk factor reduction. WCM-Q Research Link to the paper: lnkd.in/dwDM-fJw

Congratulations to Dr Hoda Gad on completing her PhD under the mentorship of Prof Rayaz Malik. Her PhD research focused on detecting early neuropathy in metabolic diseases in children and adults using corneal confocal microscopy #CCM. She published 4 papers from her PhD work.

Check out the new work from Georgios Ponirakis, PhD 🇺🇦 and colleagues: Glucose lowering medication associated with weight loss may limit the progression of diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn… #JPNSXHighlights

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

As AI advances in the analysis of corneal nerve morphology, Ioannis N. Petropoulos et al., from Prof. Rayaz Malik'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/39671224/

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.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tr…
