Denna veckan gästas vi av Andreas som lever med Lebers hereditära optikusneuropati, en sjukdom som gör att han enbart har en procent av sin syn. Trevlig lyssning
Hej och varmt välkomna till ett nytt avsnitt av OptikerPodden med mig, Jonas Upphagen! I månadens avsnitt är vi glada att kunna presentera den tredje och sista delen från Ögats Dag, som arrangerades av Ögonfonden den 9 november 2023 och samlade över 100 deltagare på plats och ytterligare 500 följde med online. I månadens avsnitt kommer vi få möjlighet lära oss mer om Lebers heriditära optikusneuropati men även ta del av Synskadades Riksförbunds arbete inom rehabilitering. Tack för att ni lyssnar!
Varmt välkomna till ett exklusivt liveavsnitt av OptikerPodden med mig, Jonas Upphagen. Även denna månad kommer en LIVE-inspelning från Optikmässan 2024 på STOCKHOLM WATERFRONT CONGRESS CENTRE! I månadens avsnitt, som blir det tredje och sista liveavsnittet från Optikmässan 2024, möter vi Johan Hedström från Karolinska Institutet. Här kommer vi ta del av pågående forskning i Sverige, särskilt inom Lebers heriditära optikusneuropati (LHON) som är Johans forskningsområde.
Auf welche Aktien setzt der Profi jetzt? Ich frage nach bei Dr. Hendrik Leber und der Fondsmanager von Acatis verrät im exklusiven Interview, welche 3 Aktien er zuletzt gekauft hat. Beispielsweise hat der bekannte Value-Investor bei Prysmian zugeschlagen und verspricht sich Potenzial durch die massiven Investitionen in Infrastruktur. Auch bei Denali Therapeutics und der Universal Display Corporation hat Leber zugeschlagen. Aber wie schätzt der erfahrene Investor den Hype um Künstliche Intelligenz ein? Für Leber bietet sich eine große Chance und er setzt auf die großen Player wie Nvidia, aber auch auf heimliche Gewinner wie Kurita aus Japan. Warum dieses Jahrzehnt richtig gut werden könnte für Aktien, Leber aber gerade sehr skeptisch ist beim Standort Deutschland und ob er nach wie vor bullisch ist bei Bitcoin und Wasserstoff. Zudem könnte es sein, dass der Markt die Inflation unterschätzt – deswegen hat Leber auch inflationsgeschützte Anleihen in seinen Fonds
Gerade, wenn es richtig unruhig wird an den Märkten, wittert der erfahrene Investor vor allem Chancen. Für Hendrik Leber, Gründer der Vermögensverwaltung Acatis, sind es gerade "unfassbare spannende Zeiten". Die Banken-Krise hat er genutzt für einige spannende Investments rund um die europäischen Banken. Im exklusiven Interview verrät der Value-Investor, welche spannenden Zukunfts-Aktie er gerade auf dem Zettel hat, warum er derzeit so offensiv in Aktien investiert ist, obwohl so viele die Gefahren einer Rezession in den USA, eine womöglich länger hohe Inflation und weiter taumelnder Banken sehen. Außerdem berichtet er von seiner jüngsten Reise nach Japan und welche spannenden Unternehmen er dort besucht hat und warum er für den Bitcoin weiter optimistisch ist.

Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

Lederen af Sverigesdemokraterne Jimmie Åkesson besøger Danmark i dag. I Sverige diskuteres problemer med bandekriminalitet i mange byer, og i den forbindelse har det vakt opsigt i Sverige, at statsminister Stefan Löfven fra Socialdemokratiet i Riksdagen har anerkendt, at indvandringen til Sverige har negative konsekvenser i form af mere kriminalitet. VI lytter med på Åkessons besøg, og får en analyse af situationen i Sverige fra DR Nyheders Europakorrespondent, Anna Gaarslev. Et andet besøg, vi følger i dag, er Hviderusland præsident Lukajenkos besøg hos Putin i Rusland. I går var flere end 100.000 demonstranter på gaden i den hviderussiske hovedstad Minsk i protest mod Lukajenko. Vi spørger om Rusland bliver ved med at støtte ham? Gen-terapien, Luxturna, der kan kurere den sjælden øjensygdom Lebers syndrom, er kun begyndelsen på en stor bølge af gen-terapibehandlinger, der kan kurere sygdomme, vi tidligere ikke har kunne gøre meget ved. Men det bliver dyrt og har vi råd? Det taler vi med Anne-Marie Gerdes om. Hun er klinikchef på Rigshospitalets Klinisk Genetiske Klinik og professor ved Københavns Universitet, og så er hun også formand for etisk råd. Karin Axelsson og Louise Windfeld-Høeberg er dagens værter. Birgitte gadegaard er redaktør. www.dr.dk/orientering
17-årige Camille Christensen lider af den sjældne øjensygdom Lebers, og behandlingen løber op i flere millioner kroner. Vi spørger, hvordan afvejningen mellem dyr medicin og samfundsøkonomien skal være. Vi spørger også, om, hvorvidt Mette Frederiksen er børnenes statsminister på trods af omskæringsdebat og de danske børn i Al-Hol, og om justitsminister Nick Hækkerups initiativer er tilstrækkelige til at hjælpe PTSD-ramte fængselsbetjente. Dagens værter er Anders Bech-Jessen og Maria Dohn. www.dr.dk/p1morgen

Sisters Anna Ault and Lori Kinney are raising daughters with visual impairments. One has cortical visual impairment, the other an ocular visual impairment. We discuss their parallel but unique experiences advocating for CVI and Leber’s congenital amaurosis. They are raising their kids in the same community – their childhood community, in fact. Their girls are close in age and attend the same public-school system. But as Anna and Lori compare their experiences, it becomes evident that there are fundamental differences between a brain-based visual impairment and an eye-based one. In this episode: Resources for getting up-to-speed on a visual diagnosis. The prevalence of CVI and the rarity of LCA. The effect of CVI and LCA on day-to-day activities. IEPs and school services. Giving back. Resources we mentioned: Pediatric Cortical Visual Impairment Society (PCVI Society) The RDH12 Fund for Sight The American Conference on Pediatric Cortical Visual Impairment 2018 CVI Symposium hosted by Perkins School for the Blind Olivia’s Pediatric CVI Society Fundraising Page Start Seeing CVI Advocacy
