The presented material summarizes the main clinical and theoretical data on the peculiarities of atrial fibrillation (AP) flow in combination with diabetes mellitus (DM). This combination, although associated with a lower age than in patients without diabetes, is associated with a higher risk of stroke and systemic embolism and other adverse complications. The material presents the data of the rocket-AF randomized trial subanalysis on the peculiarities of the use of oral anticoagulant - a direct inhibitor of Xa-factor Rivaroxaban in patients with non-valve AF in combination with DM. Comparative efficacy and safety of Rivaroxaban in patients with diabetes were comparable to those in patients without diabetes. Rivaroxaban in patients with diabetes was associated with lower vascular death rates than warfarin. The results of the randomized trial are largely confirmed in several observational studies that reflect actual clinical practice. Thus, it can be affirmed that Rivaroxaban is not only the most commonly used direct oral anticoagulant in russian practice, but can also be widely used in patients with non-valve AF and diabetes to prevent strokes and systemic embolisms.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest causes of neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a heterogeneous group of neuropathic disorders to which patients with diabetes mellitus are susceptible; more than one kind of neuropathy can frequently occur in the same individual. Abnormalities are also known to occur in nearly every anatomic subdivision of the eye in diabetic patients. Oculomotor palsy appears to be common in diabetes mellitus for their occurrence in isolation to suggest diabetes. Nerves to the external ocular muscles are most commonly affected, particularly the oculomotor or third cranial nerve. The third nerve palsy of diabetes is characteristic, being of sudden onset, accompanied by orbital and retro-orbital pain, often associated with complete involvement of the external ocular muscles innervated by the nerve. While the human and experimental animal literature is replete with studies on the peripheral nerves in diabetes mellitus, there is but a paucity of reported studies dealing with the oculomotor nerves and their associated extraocular muscles (EOMs).
