“…Although earlier studies suggested that training might increase family physician's DR screening accuracy, it is still necessary to compare the cost-effectiveness of this strategy to other population-based screening methods, such as teleretinal imaging programs and artificial intelligence diagnostics. Furthermore, however, the authors agreed that family physicians play an essential role in the screening for diabetic DR, particularly in areas with limited access to specialised eye care (14).…”

Diabetes mellitus is a long-lasting metabolic disease with a complex etiology. It is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, which are marked by anomalies in insulin secretion, action, or both. Long-term hyperglycemia causes diverse microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications, which are primarily responsible for the high morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes. Diabetes leads to significant ophthalmological complications among which diabetic retinopathy is thought to be the most frequent cause of blindness in people of working age, with diabetic macular oedema being the most frequent cause of impaired visual acuity among diabetics. The findings of several research studies suggest that the best way to prevent diabetic retinopathy from leading to blindness is through regular assessment and screening so any complications can be addressed as soon as possible. Furthermore, since early diabetic eye disease stages are asymptomatic, screening people with diabetes is essential. As a result, the primary care physician's involvement is essential for enabling an early diagnosis of this condition. Family physicians play an essential role in the early identification and prevention of diabetic retinopathy. They serve as the initial line of contact for managing diabetes and as referral sources when complications arise. The purpose of this research is to review the impact of family medicine on diabetic eye care, screening programs, referral patterns, and outcomes.

Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related changes, (ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a pathological status. Although a broad spectrum of aging biomarkers has been developed, their potential uses and limitations remain poorly characterized. An immediate goal of biomarkers is to help us answer the following three fundamental questions in aging research: How old are we? Why do we get old? And how can we age slower? This review aims to address this need. Here, we summarize our current knowledge of biomarkers developed for cellular, organ, and organismal levels of aging, comprising six pillars: physiological characteristics, medical imaging, histological features, cellular alterations, molecular changes, and secretory factors. To fulfill all these requisites, we propose that aging biomarkers should qualify for being specific, systemic, and clinically relevant.
