Discontinuing aspirin or warfarin optional before cataract surgery
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

Neither warfarin nor aspirin need to be stopped before cataract surgery: patients who continue to use warfarin or aspirin are not at increased risk of ocular hemorrhagic events. Conversely, those who discontinue warfarin or aspirin prior to cataract surgery have no increased risk of thromboembolic or cardiovascular events.

Diet may slow progression of diabetic nephropathy
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

A polyphenol-enriched diet with 50% carbohydrate restriction and low iron availability was superior to a conventional protein-restricted diet in slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

These findings must be confirmed by additional high-quality studies before physicians can routinely recommend a change from the conventional low-protein diet. Current use of this diet is limited, as many nutritionists— even those specializing in diabetes—have no knowledge of it.
