Diabetic nephropathy is accountable for nearly third of the world cases of last step of renal disease; it becomes a major public health problem with social and economic burden. To assess the relationship between Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.  The present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the department of Ophthalmology at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, over a period of 12 months during  March 2018- February’ 2019 and were assess for the relationship between Retinopathy and Nephropathy. All patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients with Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy were included in the study. Majority (64.0%) patients had diabetic nephropathy and 36(36.0%) had not diabetic nephropathy. Almost three fourth (73.4%) patients was found diabetic retinopathy in diabetic retinopathy and 27(54.0%) in without diabetic retinopathy. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two group. This study suggests that Diabetic Nephropathy has a significant association with the presence of Diabetic Retinopathy in persons with Type II DM. Bangladesh Med J. 2019 May; 48 (2): 24-27

Background: Evisceration surgery is the removal of the intraocular contents after excision of the cornea, while preserving the scleral shell. Evisceration surgery can be performed as 'last resort' for many severe end-stage ophthalmic conditions with complete loss of the vision. Methods:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of COVID 19 pandemic on the number of incidence of evisceration surgery. We included in our retrospective review, all eviscerations performed between

Retinal vein occlusion refers to the closure of the central retinal vein that drains the retina or to that of one of its branches. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is caused by age related changes in the retinal vessels. Bilateral CRVO is a relatively rare event. Only less than 10% cases are bilateral, simultaneous bilateral CRVO is very rare. We are presenting a case report regarding a middle aged patient with history of trauma who presented with bilateral CRVO in the depatment of ophthalmology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka. After detailed clinical work up and invesigation a diagnosis of bilateral CRVO secondary to trauma was made.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common causes of blindness in developed countries. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is crucial for preventing irreversible blindness. To measure the association of diabetic retinopathy with dabetic foot a cross-sectional study was carried out at Department of Ophthalmology and Surgery, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka from January 2017 to September 2017. Patients were included, who were known diabetic. New cases of type-2 diabetes were also included because they might have complications at the time of diagnosis because of the nature of disease. Mean duration of diabetes was significantly higher in DFU with DR group. BUN and diabetes retinopathy were statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Mean HbA1c, pre-prandial glucose, C-peptide, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, hematocrit, creatinine, ABI, TBI and DM foot ulcer were not statistically significant (p>0.05) between two groups. Most patients (33.3%) had a grade I ulcer in DF with DR group and 33.3% in DF without DR group. Medication taking was significantly high patients who were DF without DR. Combined agents was 11(36.7%) and 11(36.7%) in DF with DR and DF without DR group respectively. Insulin was taken 16(53.3%) in DF with DR group and 19(63.3%) in DF without DR group. Maximum patients had a grade I ulcer in diabetes foot ulcer. Medication taking was significantly high patients who were diabetes foot ulcer than without diabetes foot ulcer. Mean insulin, BUN and diabetes retinopathy was found significantly higher in diabetes with diabetes foot ulcer. Mean insulin BUN and diabetic retinopathy was was significantly higher in diabetes with diabetes foot ulcer. Bangladesh Med J. 2017 Sep; 46 (3): 90-93
