Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Diabetic eye disease is a potential vision-threatening condition. The most well-known complication of uncontrolled diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, but diabetes can affect various structures of the globe other than the retina. Anterior segment complications include ocular surface disease, which includes Dry Eye Syndrome and diabetic keratopathy, cataracts, refractive changes, extraocular movement disorders, and neovascular glaucoma. Posterior segment complications include diabetic papillopathy and retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy causes vision loss in multiple ways including macular edema and ischemia, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Tight glucose control can help to prevent these complications from occurring.
