With the arrival of Eyezirgan (commercial available topical ganciclovir), we now have a more readily accessible preservative-free option for treatment of HSV.  So why is Eyezirgan a potentially important new player on the market?  How does one decide between oral or topical treatments for HSV, and is there a longer-term role for antivirals in the treatment of Zoster, in addition to just HSV? Dr. Parwez Hossain joins the podcast. This episode is sponsored by Thea Pharma Canada - https://www.theapharma.caBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/blind-spot-the-eye-doctor-s-podcast--5819306/support.

Pentru că suntem ascultători (de podcasturi), am urmat îndemnul scriitoarei Gabriela Adameșteanu din episodul dedicat Târgului de Carte Gaudeamus și ne-am pus pe răsfoit Jurnalul lui Paul Cornea (Polirom, 2024). Cel mai nimerit pentru a-i pune microfonul dinainte am găsit că este editorul jurnalului, cercetătorul Petruș Costea. Așa am aflat despre ce înseamnă să te îngrijești de un text, cum descifrezi un manuscris, despre muzici, filme și alte delicii literare. Și nu în ultimul rând, despre Paul Cornea, un om generos, care ținea dialogul mereu viu, un om al ideilor și al simțirilor romantice. Recomandări din podcast:Mihail Sebastian, Jurnal, 1935-1944, Editura Humanitas, 2016Filmul „Intermezzo”, în regia lui Gregory Ratoff (1939) C.

In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I focus on one of the scariest eye conditions for your cornea: Acanthamoeba keratitis. This rare but serious infection is particularly frightening for contact lens wearers, as it can lead to severe pain, long-term vision problems, and a difficult treatment process. I break down why this infection is so dangerous, how it impacts the cornea, and offers important advice on how to prevent it. Learn why Acanthamoeba keratitis is a nightmare for your cornea and how to protect your vision. Takeaways: Acanthamoeba Keratitis Is Rare but Serious: This infection occurs when a protozoa, commonly found in water, invades the cornea, causing severe pain and long-term damage. Contacts and Water Don't Mix: Wearing contact lenses in water, whether in pools, hot tubs, or even showers, significantly increases the risk of developing Acanthamoeba keratitis. Pain Out of Proportion to Symptoms: A common sign of Acanthamoeba keratitis is severe eye pain, often much worse than what doctors can see in a standard eye exam. Long, Complex Treatment: Treating Acanthamoeba keratitis can take months, sometimes requiring multiple medications and even corneal transplants in severe cases. Prevention Is Key: The best way to avoid Acanthamoeba keratitis is to keep your contact lenses away from any water source, and always use proper contact lens solution for cleaning and storage. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Sexgate la SNSPA, feminista care tace și salvarea politică (DW) - Când războiul din Orientul Mijlociu întârzie modernizarea unei școli din România. Soluția Guvernului pentru proiectele prin PNRR întârziate (Europa Liberă) Cine sunt Andrei Cornea și Marian Enache, primii campioni olimpici români din istorie în probele masculine de vâsle (Libertatea)Canotorii Marian Florian Enache şi Andrei Sebastian Cornea au adus prima medalie de aur pentru canotajul românesc la Jocurile Olimpice de la Paris, după ce au câştigat proba de dublu vâsle masculin. Cei doi sunt la prima participare la Jocurile Olimpice.Aceasta este prima medalie de aur la masculin într-o probă de vâsle în istoria canotajului românesc. Enache și Cornea au încheiat proba în şase minute, 12 secunde şi 58 de sutimi.Andrei Cornea s-a născut la 10 noiembrie 1999, la Broșteni, iar Marian Enache, la 5 august 1995, la Târgu Cărbuneşti (în Gorj).Cei doi formează o echipă din acest an, din cantonamentul din Italia. Enache și Cornea sunt doar la al doilea concurs împreună. Și la al doilea aur, după locul 1 la Europene de la Szeged, acum două luni, scrie Libertatea. Sexgate la SNSPA, feminista care tace și salvarea politică (DW)În România, una din două studente sau eleve e hărțuită sexual. La SNSPA fostele absolvente fac acuzații grave împotriva unor profesori bine ancorați politic. O analiză de Sabina Fati.Marius Pieleanu este prodecan la SNSPA și sociolog de casă al PSD, care prin firmele lui de sondare ar fi avut câștiguri de aproape un milion de euro, potrivit calculelor făcute de Mircea Marian la defapt.ro. Sociologul Alfred Bulai a avut funcții guvernamentale importante atât în perioada guvernărilor PSD, cât și în cele ale PNL. Rectorul SNSPA Remus Pricopie a fost și el ministru al Educației între 2012 și 2014, când era prim-ministru Victor Ponta. Mai mulți profesori de la Școla Națională de Studii Politice și Administrative au lucrat sau lucrează, la suprafață sau pe dedesubt, pentru diferite formațiuni politice, și o serie de soții ale cadrelor didactice de la SNSPA au funcții în instituții publice. Sunt complicități vechi, rostogolite în ultimii 30 de ani, după ce vechea școală de cadre a partidului comunist Academia Ștefan Gheorghiu s-a transformat în SNSPA. De aceea, poate, conducerea acestei școli care produce noua tehnocrație politică nu se teme de curentul autohton al #MeToo, care scoate la iveală tot mai multe fapte, care ar putea fi demonstrate ca penale, nu doar de jurnaliști, ci și de justiție. Un proces rapid și echitabil poate demonstra că încrengăturile de la SNSPA nu mai au nicio influență sau invers, tergiversarea lucrurilor poate demonstra puterea politicului nu doar în universități, ci și asupra justiției.Integral pe pagina DW. Când războiul din Orientul Mijlociu întârzie modernizarea unei școli din România. Soluția Guvernului pentru proiectele prin PNRR întârziate (Europa Liberă)Autoritățile publice care derulează contracte prin Programul Național de Redresare și Reziliență (PNRR) vor putea prelungi termenele acestora, în cazul unor situații pe care nu le puteau anticipa și care le întârzie aprovizionarea, a decis joi Guvernul.PNRR este cel amplu program de investiții cu fonduri europene derulat în prezent de România – în toate sectoarele economice și sociale – cu o valoare totală de 29,2 miliarde de euro.Termenul de finalizare al proiectelor finanțate este 2026.Documentul cu efect de lege aprobat ieri de Executiv le permite primăriilor, consiliilor județene, spitalelor și altor instituții publice să modifice termenele de furnizar, livrare sau execuție a contractelor cu companiile private, doar în baza unui act justificativ în care să explice de ce acest lucru este necesar.Printre motivele care pot fi invocate se numără situații care nu au putut fi prevăzute înainte de semnarea contractelor, precum contextul geopolitic actual, acutizat de războiul din Orientul Mijlociu, explică reprezentanții Ministerului Investițiilor și Proiectelor Europene (MIPE) în nota de fundamentare a ordonanței aprobate de Guvern.Citiți mai mult pe pagina Europei Libere.

The cornea is a transparent and multi-layered dome that sits at the front of the eye. It not only provides protection, but bends light to focus it on the retina. Many corneal diseases cause scarring that reduces the transparency of the cornea and results in the loss of vision. In fact, corneal diseases are a leading cause of blindness. Claris Bio is seeking to address the need for therapies to treat corneal disease by developing recombinant human deleted hepatocyte growth factor to improve and accelerate corneal healing. We spoke to Clarke Atwell, CEO of Claris Bio, about the cornea, the role hepatocyte growth factor plays in its healing, and the rare and chronic condition neurotrophic keratitis that it is focusing on as its lead indication.

Challenging The Gender Gap In Sports ScienceThis weekend, Spain and England face off in the Women's World Cup Finals in Sydney, Australia.The first Women's World Cup was in 1991, and the games were only 80 minutes, compared to the 90-minute games played by men. Part of the rationale was that women just weren't tough enough to play a full 90 minutes of soccer.This idea of women as the “weaker sex” is everywhere in early scientific studies of athletic performance. Sports science was mainly concerned with men's abilities. Even now, most participants in sports science research are men.Luckily things are changing, and more girls and women are playing sports than ever before. There's a little more research about women too, as well as those who fall outside the gender binary.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Christine Yu, a health and sports journalist and author of Up To Speed: The Groundbreaking Science of Women Athletes, about the gap in sport science about women. Using Stem Cells For Cornea Repair Is Worth A LookEach year in the US, over 40,000 people receive transplants of the cornea—the clear front part of the eye that light goes through first. Still more patients with damaged corneas might receive artificial corneas to help restore clear vision. But if an eye has been damaged by a chemical burn or another severe eye injury, neither of those treatments may be possible.Now an early, Phase 1 clinical trial is reporting positive results using a stem cell technique called CALEC. It grows cells from a patient's healthy eye, and then grafts them back into the damaged eye, either to support corneal tissue regrowth or as a foundation for a traditional transplant. Dr. Ula Jurkunas, associate director of the Cornea Service at Mass Eye and Ear, and   Dr. Jerome Ritz, the executive director of the Connell and O'Reilly Families Cell Manipulation Core Facility at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, join Ira to talk about how the process works, and the challenges of manufacturing stem cell tissues in the lab for use in the human body.From Skyscrapers to Sand Thieves—Digging Into The World Of SandWhen you think of sand, thoughts of the ocean and sand castles probably come to mind. But sand can be found in much more than beachfronts. Sand is a key ingredient in concrete for skyscrapers, silicon for computer chips, and the glass for your smartphone.Vince Beiser, journalist and author of the book The World in a Grain: The Story of Sand and How it Transformed Civilization, traveled to sand mines in India and beach nourishment projects around the world to follow the story of how sand has become a vital resource. He talks about the many uses of sand in our everyday lives and some of the consequences that come from our dependence on this natural resource.To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Cornea specialist Dr. Travis Redd discusses the recent outbreak of extensively drug-resistant corneal infections associated with artificial tears and that has led to cases of permanent vision loss and death. Dr. Redd also reviews the challenges and risks of multi-use eye drop bottles. Since January 2023, the CDC, FDA, and state and local health departments have been investigating a multistate outbreak involving a rare, drug-resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. As a result, the CDC has urged discontinued use of EzriCare Artificial Tears, and in February the FDA issued an additional warning about Delsam Pharma's Artificial Eye Ointment.
