Patients with a specific form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in the United States, are at significant risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to new research from the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. This study, published in the July issue of Retina, is the first to demonstrate a link between the disordersAMD is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in people over 65 years old and is the result of damage to the central area of the retina called the macula, which is responsible for reading and driving vision. One major form of early AMD is called drusen, where small yellow cholesterol deposits form in a layer under the retina. They can deprive the retina of blood and oxygen, leading to vision loss. Drusen formation can be slowed by appropriate vitamin supplementation.The other major form of early AMD is the presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), which is lesser known and requires high-tech retinal imaging to detect. These deposits are also made of fatty lipids and other materials, but form in a different layer beneath the light-sensitive retina cells, where they are also associated with vision loss. Currently, there is no known treatment for SDD.R Theodore (Ted) Smith MD, Ph.D. is the lead author of this study and joins us in this episode to tell us more. He is a Professor of Ophthalmology and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and Director of Biomolecular Retinal Imaging at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary (NYEEI) of Mount Sinai.

Dr. Maura Cosetti is an experienced audiologist with clinical specializations in adult and pediatric hearing disorders. She is the Director of the Ear Institute of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary at Mount Sinai, which is one of the most advanced hearing centers in the United States. She is also the Director of their Cochlear Implant Program, both an academic and clinical program for patients of all ages. Along with these titles, Dr. Cosetti has performed invaluable research on hearing loss through the use of virtual reality. She leads the Otology-Neurotology Fellowship Program at Mount Sinai and Co-chairs the William House Cochlear Implant Study Group. In this episode… The broader field of audiology can be incredibly diverse with multiple facets of research. One facet that is often overlooked is the relationship between balance and hearing loss. We all know that our balance is calibrated with inner-ear fluid, but the intricacies and relationships are still being heavily researched. There's one new tool, however, that might surprise you. Dr. Maura Cosetti and her research staff at Mount Sinai have been looking into vestibular problems and analyzing partial deafness. Among their instruments is virtual reality, which allows them to look at sensory integration in a new way. Their facility is among the most advanced in the United States, and now they open up about their research and their unusual methods. Dr. Mark Syms talks with Dr. Maura Cosetti, the Director of the Ear Institute of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary at Mount Sinai, about her research on vestibular problems and their use of virtual reality. They discuss the finer details of vestibular problems and how it relates to balance. They then go through discussions on subcategorization of hearing loss, what qualifies as normal hearing, and neurocognitive function. Check it all out on this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast!
"The only thing worse than being blind, is having sight but no vision." Helen Keller "Glaucoma is called the silent thief of sight...because when you have elevated eye pressure, and it's damaging your eyes, you don't feel it. It can make you lose 90 to 100% of your vision before you notice it." Dr. Daniel La Roche While Helen Keller speaks to the vision with which we approach growing older, in today's conversation we focus on loss of sight vision. It is critical to prevent those vision disorders that become an increasing worry as we personally age, or as we take care of others who are losing their sight. A 2020 survey of blindness in people aged 50 years and older found that globally the second most common cause of blindness was glaucoma, affecting 3.6 million people. Today I talk with glaucoma specialist, Dr. Daniel Laroche, Director of Glaucoma Services and president of Advanced Eye Care of New York. He is a clinical assistant professor of ophthalmology with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Dr. LaRoche received his bachelor's degree from New York University, and his medical doctorate with honors in research, from Weill Cornell University Medical College, he completed his medical internship at Montefiore Hospital, his ophthalmology residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington DC and his glaucoma fellowship at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary with Glaucoma Associates of New York, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma We discuss types of glaucoma, the prevalence in different ethnic groups, and the importance of annual eye checkups to recognize, prevent or treat the major causes of blindness. Cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy affected 21 million people > 51 globally in this 2020 survey (https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(20)30489-7) As well as your annual eye test, lifestyle habits, exercise, good nutrition, sleep and meditation are important in preserving eye health. We also discussed the powerful daily supplement I take to protect my eyes, especially the vulnerable macula area.

Episode 4 of the Burning Ambulance podcast features the final interview with trombonist Roswell Rudd before his death in December 2017. Rudd was one of the pioneering figures of the jazz avant-garde; though he started out in a Dixieland band, by 1960, he was working with Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, and Steve Lacy. He was a member of the ensemble that recorded the legendary ESP-Disk’ album New York Eye & Ear Control, alongside Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, John Tchicai, Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray; along with Tchicai, drummer Milford Graves, and several different bassists, he formed the New York Art Quartet, whose debut album, also on ESP-Disk’, is a landmark of the free jazz era. He and Lacy collaborated for years, interpreting Thelonious Monk's music without a pianist; he was also on multiple Shepp albums in the ’60s, and appeared on the Jazz Composers Orchestra album Communications. In the 2000s, Rudd explored music beyond jazz, recording albums with Mongolian musicians and with Puerto Rican guitarist and cuatro player Yomo Toro. His latest releases include Strength and Power, a collaboration with keyboardist Jamie Saft , bassist Trevor Dunn , and drummer Balazs Pandi, and Embrace, with singer Fay Victor, pianist Lafayette Harris, and bassist Ken Filiano. Rudd was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and battled the disease until his death in December 2017, but maintained as busy a recording and performing schedule as he could until the end. It’s easy to tell, in this conversation, that he was in poor health; he spoke softly and slowly. But I think it’s still a very interesting interview, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.
Silent reflux causes stomach acid to back up into your nasal airway, throat, and voice box and can be the reason for your chronic cough.If you have trouble breathing in, you may be one of more than 100 million Americans suffering from Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), otherwise known as silent reflux.There are two valves located at both ends of your esophagus (called a sphincter muscle) that help the contents in your stomach flow from one end to the other. However, with LPR, the sphincter muscles don't work properly and stomach acid moves back into the throat, nasal airway and voice box.Unlike acid reflux where you can feel indigestion and heartburn, the symptoms you feel if you have LPR are very different and are exactly what the name suggests: silent.Symptoms include hoarseness, postnasal drip, sinusitis, allergies, asthma, sore throat, trouble swallowing, and cough.What is enigmatic chronic cough and how is it related to LPR?An enigma is defined as something that is difficult to interpret or understand and very mysterious. An enigmatic chronic cough is when you have a cough that has been present for eight weeks or more, and you are unable to identify and treat what is causing you to be chronically coughing.Since LPR causes acid to back-track through your esophagus and into your throat, nasal airway and voice box, chronic coughing is a very common symptom.How can you identify if your symptoms represent silent reflux?One way is by following a two-week "reflux boot camp."For two weeks, limit your acidic food intake; do not drink or eat anything within four hours of bedtime; and avoid processed food, alcohol, energy drinks, coffee, and carbonated beverages.What else do you need to know about preventing and treating silent reflux?Professor of Clinical Otolaryngology at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of the New York Medical College, Jamie Koufman, MD, shares the difference between silent reflux and acid reflux and the causes of silent reflux. She also explains the two-week boot camp that can help relieve your symptoms of silent reflux.
