Dr. Zheng-Yi Chen, Associate Scientist in the Eaton-Peabody Laboratories at Mass Eye and Ear Hospital in Boston, speaks with Futureproof host Jonathan McCrea about his efforts to cure hearing loss.

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 6, entitled, “Knockout of AMD-associated gene POLDIP2 reduces mitochondrial superoxide in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.” Genetic and epidemiologic studies have significantly advanced our understanding of the genetic factors contributing to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In particular, recent expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies have highlighted POLDIP2 as a significant gene that confers risk of developing AMD. However, the role of POLDIP2 in retinal cells such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and how it contributes to AMD pathology are unknown. In this new study, researchers Tu Nguyen, Daniel Urrutia-Cabrera, Luozixian Wang, Jarmon G. Lees, Jiang-Hui Wang, Sandy S.C. Hung, Alex W. Hewitt, Thomas L. Edwards, Sam McLenachan, Fred K. Chen, Shiang Y. Lim, Chi D. Luu, Robyn Guymer, and Raymond C.B. Wong from Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, University of Melbourne, St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research, University of Tasmania, and The University of Western Australia report the generation of a stable human RPE cell line ARPE-19 with POLDIP2 knockout using CRISPR/Cas, providing an in vitro model to investigate the functions of POLDIP2. “We conducted functional studies on the POLDIP2 knockout cell line and showed that it retained normal levels of cell proliferation, cell viability, phagocytosis and autophagy. Also, we performed RNA sequencing to profile the transcriptome of POLDIP2 knockout cells.” Their results highlighted significant changes in genes involved in immune response, complement activation, oxidative damage and vascular development. They showed that loss of POLDIP2 caused a reduction in mitochondrial superoxide levels, which is consistent with the upregulation of the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase SOD2. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a novel link between POLDIP2 and SOD2 in ARPE-19, which supports a potential role of POLDIP2 in regulating oxidative stress in AMD pathology. “In summary, we have generated a POLDIP2 knockout ARPE-19 cell line using CRISPR/Cas9 and studied the biological functions of POLDIP2. To our knowledge, this is the first functional study of POLDIP2 in retinal cells to understand its potential role in AMD.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204522 Corresponding Author: Raymond C.B.

This is the 7th and final episode of this GENEYE POD series on getting started with presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery.  Residual ametropia is one of the most common reasons for patient dissatisfaction after presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery, so it's really important to look for this and treat it whenever necessary.  With a few exceptions, presbyopia correcting IOLs, whether bifocal, trifocal or EDOF are more sensitive to residual refractive error than monofocal IOLs.   Failure to hit refractive target might result from inaccuracies in biometry, inadequate selection of IOL power, limitations of the formulae that we have, or inability to adequately predict effective IOL position in the eye amongst other reasons.  Laser enhancement, usually by either LASIK or PRK has been shown to be efficient, effective, predictable and safe, and would be the most common choice for refractive adjustment post-operatively.  IOL rotation or exchange is required less frequently.As presbyopia correction, particularly with trifocal IOLs continues to gain popularity across Australia, New Zealand and many other countries, residual refractive error has been identified as a real problem.  Surgeons now need to be aware of the importance of residual refractive errors and solutions for corrections need to be considered at the time of starting out with these lenses.  Presbyopia correcting IOLs are not as forgiving as monofocals.  Residual refractive errors not only blur vision but enhance dysphotopsias and other side effects.    Residual refractive errors can be regarded as  “make or break” in terms of success for each individual patient, so it's very important to have a strategy for correction when they occur.In this episode, Dr Jacqueline Beltz is joined by Dr Laurence Sullivan.  Laurie is a cornea, cataract and laser refractive surgeon in Melbourne, Australia.  Laurie only recently retired from his public appointment at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital where he worked for many years.  At the Eye and Ear, Laurie was integral to the training and education of registrars and fellows including Jacqui.   Please subscribe to this podcast and remember that the full digital course is available at geneye.org.au

This is the fourth episode of a 7-part series on presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery.  This podcast series forms part of a GENEYE digital course that has been developed by Dr Jacqueline Beltz for Advanced Ophthalmology Trainees in Victoria, Australia.  The full course is available at geneye.org.au under online training.  So far, we've covered IOL options, patient selection and optimisation, and astigmatism correction and refractive targets.  There's a lot to consider, especially when trifocal or EDOF IOLs that utilise diffractive technologies are planned.  Corneal tomography has come up as an important topic in every episode so far.  One of the reasons why it's important to know the status of the cornea is to consider the impact of higher order aberrations when combined with diffractive IOL technologies.  Patients with aberrated corneas can be highly symptomatic of positive dysphotopsias such as glare and haloes after trifocal IOLs, so it's best to consider other options such as monofocal IOLs, small aperture IOLs or maybe even negative spherical aberration EDOFs in those cases.Should we or should we not ALWAYS do tomography when we're considering trifocal IOLs?  In this episode Dr Jacqueline Beltz is joined by Associate Professor Elaine Chong to answer this question and to discuss corneal tomography in this setting.  Elaine is a cataract, cornea and refractive surgeon in Melbourne.  She is director of ophthalmology at Royal Melbourne Hospital and also part of the Corneal Unit at The Eye and Ear Hospital.  Prior to these positions, Elaine underwent double subspecialty fellowship training - first in medical retina and later in cornea and refractive surgery.  It was at Singapore National Eye Centre that Elaine completed her corneal training.   Please subscribe to this podcast and remember that the full digital course is available at geneye.org.au

Welcome to season 2 of GENEYE POD.  This is the first episode of a 7-part series on getting started with presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery.  This podcast series forms part of a GENEYE digital course that has been developed by Dr Jacqueline Beltz, Director of GENEYE for Advanced Ophthalmology Trainees in Victoria, Australia.  The full course is available at geneye.org.au under online training.  Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations performed worldwide. Microsurgery but particularly cataract surgery forms a significant part of the 5-year ophthalmology training program in Australia and New Zealand.  Due to improvements in technologies and data analysis, cataract surgery results have improved significantly over the last few decades.  These days, as well as the aim to restore sight, we also aim to reduce dependency on spectacles after cataract surgery.  Reducing the need for spectacles for distance after cataract surgery has become standard in many countries around the world.  Reducing the need for spectacles for intermediate and near is more complex and finding the perfect solution for this is perhaps the “holy grail” for cataract surgery within the developed world.To date, correction of presbyopia at the time of cataract surgery has not been routinely taught in training in most parts of Australia and trainers have varied and sometimes limited experience with these technologies themselves.This podcast series forms part of a GENEYE digital and real-life course providing active and structured training in getting started with presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery.  This course is available for both teachers and trainees.  Whilst parts of the course could be applied anywhere, the live and assessment components have been specifically developed for accredited advanced trainees in their 3rd and 4th year of ophthalmology training at the Eye and Ear Hospital, Victoria, Australia.  The full course can be found at geneye.org.au under online training.  In this podcast series, together with some great colleagues, Jacqueline covers some of the important aspects of presbyopia correction at the time of cataract surgery.  She delves into the nuance and discussions.  The things you actually need to know to make sure you start off safely and with success.  Episode 1 covers some of the different options that we have available to us in Australia at the moment.  Later episodes will cover patient selection and optimisation, astigmatism correction and IOL calculations, assessing corneal tomography, mastering the patient conversation, surgical tips and managing complications, refractive enhancements and IOL exchange.    Bear in mind these technologies are changing all the time – covering everything at one point in time would be ineffective.  Rather, she covers some of the general considerations and methods, so that you understand the concepts and are experienced and equipped when it comes to trying or developing newer and hopefully better technologies in the future.  In Episode 1 Jacqueline introduces Dr Benjamin Au.  Ben recently completed the advanced cataract surgical fellowship at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.    Ben's involved in several trials, does a lot of the complex cataract surgery at the hospital and is heavily involved in teaching.  Ben has a really interesting background, with many different influences on his cataract surgery that he shares during this episode as he explains the different technologies that are available to us.Please subscribe to this podcast and remember that the full digital course is available at geneye.org.au.

On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Maria Dahm and Carmel Crock join hosts Sharon Bessell and Arnagretta Hunter to discuss the importance of communication to reaching a correct diagnosis.Diagnostic error is a major issue in Australia, with up to 140,000 people experiencing it every year. But according to new research, the key to changing may not simply be improving doctors' understanding of disease, but actually improving communication between health professionals and patients. So could improving communication actually reduce stress and burnout in the health workforce? And how can the health system and policymakers better respond to these issues? On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Dr Mary Dahm from The Australian National University (ANU) and Associate Professor Carmel Crock from the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and the University of Melbourne join us to discuss how to improve the diagnostic process in Australia.Maria Dahm is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Communication in Health Care at The Australian National University and an Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Health Systems and Safety Research at Macquarie University.Carmel Crock OAM is Emergency Department Director at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Chair of the Quality and Patient Safety Committee of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, and Chair of the Australia and New Zealand affiliate of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine.Sharon Bessell is Professor of Public Policy and Director of Gender Equity and Diversity at Crawford School of Public Policy at ANU.Arnagretta Hunter is the Human Futures Fellow at ANU College of Health and Medicine, a cardiologist, physician, and a Senior Clinical Lecturer at ANU Medical School.Find full show notes at policyforum.net.

Periocular Triamcinolone versus Intravitreal Triamcinolone versus Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant for the Treatment of Uveitic Macular Edema: The PeriOcular versus INTravitreal Corticosteroids for Uveitic Macular Edema (POINT) TrialDr Priya Samalia is a medical retina and uveitis fellow working at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. She examines the POINT trail on effectiveness of Periocular Triamcinolone vs. Intravitreal Triamcinolone vs. Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant for the treatment of non-infectious uveitic macular oedema. Dr Samalia explains that the trail is important because macular oedema is a common cause of vision loss for patient with uveitis and management can be challenging. The paper is a head-to-head comparison and broadly represents a real-world patient mix. While it finds intravitreal treatments are superior, Dr Samalia notes there are valid reasons to perform periocular injections. View article here

In this episode of GENEYE Pod, host Dr Jacqueline Beltz talks with Associate Professor Carmel Crock, OAM, Emergency Physician and Director of the Emergency Department at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital about diagnostic error and medical professionalism. Medical Professionalism is a complex topic.  At first glance it can seem straight forward but professionalism is difficult to define.  Professionalism is important within medicine for our patients', our own and our workplace experiences, but it is also important for clinical outcomes.    We're more likely to make mistakes if we behave unprofessionally.  Professionalism in the medical setting is also associated with increased patient satisfaction, trust, and adherence to treatment plans;  fewer patient complaints and reduced risk of litigation.  Professionalism has also been associated with physician excellence.In this episode, Dr Beltz talks about why professionalism should be considered a buildable skill rather than a personality trait.  She discusses some of the concepts linking unprofessional behaviours to diagnostic errors and suggests that this is not only bad for our patients but for us too.  Dr Beltz and Associate Professor Crock take the discussion further, with particular focus on strategies to improve knowledge, skills and culture relating to diagnostic error.  They discuss why management of diagnostic errors is so difficult and why professionalism is critical.  They also discuss management strategies and ways to improve these skills, highlighting the importance of positive role modelling.At GENEYE, we care about ourselves and each other, so we can care for our patients.  We can't even begin to truly think we will serve our patients adequately if we don't care about ourselves.  Associate Professor Crock and Dr Beltz conclude their discussion with conversation about medical culture and wellbeing – what they have seen improve and what they hope will come next.___________________________________________________________________________Acknowledgments Jacqueline Beltz and GENEYE would like to thank The Mind Room, Collingwood for supporting our program and allowing us to record in their studio.   Thank you also to Professors Ian Incoll and Debra Nestel from University of Melbourne Masters of Surgical Education program for their ongoing support, teaching and encouragement.GENEYE POD is written, and hosted by Jacqueline Beltz and produced with the help of Nick Green from CORP COMM.We would like to acknowledge the people of the Kulin Nations who are the traditional custodians of the land on which this podcast was recorded.  We would also like to pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and to any Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people who might listen to this podcast.  ___________________________________________________________________________  Further resources:GENEYE   https://www.geneye.org.auSociety to improve diagnosis in medicine (SIDM) https://www.improvediagnosis.orgAustralasian Diagnostic Error in Medicine Conference https://www.ashm.org.au/Conferences/conferences-we-organise/AusDEM-Conference/

Over the next several weeks Distillations will be talking to people who have special insight into the coronavirus crisis—biomedical researchers, physicians, public health experts, and historians. In this episode our producer Rigberto Hernandez talks with Katrine Bosley, who has worked in the biotech industry for more than 30 years. Until recently she was the CEO of Editas Medicine, a company that focuses on a gene-editing technology known as CRISPR. She’s now on the board of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital and is advising the facility on its quest to create a COVID-19 vaccine. She tells us how CRISPR can be used to make faster diagnostic tests and how the hospital in Boston is creating a vaccine using a gene therapy method.  “One of the things that’s important for all of us competing against this virus is to have a lot of technologically different strategies to try to make a vaccine.” Credits Hosts: Elisabeth Berry Drago, Alexis Pedrick  Senior Producer: Mariel Carr Producer: Rigoberto Hernandez Researcher: Jessica Wade Audio Engineer: Jonathan Pfeffer

Born in Wexford, Mary Frances Crowley undertook her professional training in Britain, earning her Registered Nurse Certificate in 1935. She returned to Ireland in 1941 to take up a senior position in Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital. In 1944, she was appointed Assistant Matron of the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital. Immediately after the war, Crowley travelled to northern France as Matron of the Irish Red Cross Hospital at Saint-Lô (the hospital's storekeeper, interpreter and driver was Samuel Beckett, the future Nobel Laureate). For their work at Saint-Lô, Crowley and her staff were awarded the Medaille de la Reconnaisance Française. Crowley founded the Nursing Training School at the Eye and Ear and became Director of Nursing Studies. In 1974, her ambition of many years was realised with the establishment of a Faculty of Nursing at RCSI, the first of its kind in Ireland or Britain and a rarity worldwide.
