suPAR as a Novel Marker for Residual Inflammatory Risk Beyond hs-CRP in Type 2 Diabetes with Coronary Artery Disease

In type 2 diabetes patients with coronary artery disease, suPAR levels remain unchanged despite treatment and independently predict adverse cardiovascular events beyond hs-CRP, highlighting suPAR's potential in identifying treatment-resistant inflammation and refining cardiovascular risk stratification.

Baseline Deep Capillary Plexus Ischemia as a Superior Predictor of Early Diabetic Retinopathy Complications Relative to Foveal Avascular Zone Enlargement

Deep capillary plexus ischemia quantified by geometric perfusion deficit predicts earlier and higher risk of diabetic retinopathy complications than foveal avascular zone enlargement, underscoring GPDd's clinical utility as a biomarker for personalized monitoring.
