Send us a textWhen your pet needs ear surgery, their eyes might be the last thing on your mind. Yet Dr. Bianca Hartrum's pioneering research reveals a critical connection between ear procedures and vision health that veterinary professionals and pet owners can no longer afford to ignore.Dr. Hartrum's study examines ocular examinations before and after total ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) procedures in cats and dogs. The findings are striking: a staggering 90.9% of cats developed Horner's syndrome following surgery—far higher than previously documented rates. Additionally, 20% of patients already had eye disease related to their ear condition before surgery, while another 30% had unrelated ocular issues discovered during comprehensive exams.The research originated from a troubling case early in Dr. Hartrum's residency—a dog with a severe melting corneal ulcer and facial nerve paralysis following ear surgery. This prompted her deep dive into existing literature, where she found only passing mentions of neuro-ophthalmic complications without detailed analysis. Her study fills this critical knowledge gap with ophthalmologic expertise and data-driven recommendations that are already transforming clinical practice.The take-home message is clear and actionable: thorough eye examinations should be standard before and after ear surgeries. Dr. Hartrum recommends Schirmer tear tests, fluorescein staining, and post-operative topical lubricants as minimum protective measures. These simple steps can prevent potentially devastating vision complications. These findings can lead to new collaborative care protocols incorporating pre- and post-operative eye exams into surgical costs.Has your veterinarian discussed potential eye complications before your pet's ear surgery? Share your experience and help spread awareness about this important connection between ear and eye health in our beloved companions.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.24.08.0533INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

Ransomware has become more difficult for organizations to defend against, but easier for adversaries to deploy. The rise of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) — a model in which ransomware operators write the malware and affiliates pay to launch it — has lowered the barrier to entry so threat actors of all skill levels can participate and profit.   OCULAR SPIDER is one such operator. This adversary, newly named by CrowdStrike, is associated with the development of ransomware variants including Cyclops, Knight, and RansomHub. They targeted hundreds of named victims between February 2024 and March 2025, according to CrowdStrike intelligence, and they focus on industries such as professional services, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing in regions including the United States, Canada, Brazil, and some European countries.   But OCULAR SPIDER is one of many operators in the ransomware space. Adam and Cristian take listeners back to the early days of ransomware and track its evolution, variants, and key players from the mid-2010s through the launch of RansomHub in 2024. They explain how RaaS works, why it appeals to adversaries and complicates attribution, and how defenders can prepare to face today's ransomware threats.   Come for an update on Adam's adventures in bread-making; stay for a deep-dive into the RaaS evolution and the threat actors driving it.

Contributor: Jorge Chalit-Hernandez, OMS3 Educational Pearls: Serotonin syndrome occurs most commonly due to the combination of monoamine oxidase inhibition with concomitant serotonergic medications like SSRIs Examples of unexpected monoamine oxidase inhibitors Linezolid - a last-line antibiotic reserved for patients with true anaphylaxis to penicillins and cephalosporins Methylene blue - not mentioned in the podcast due to its uncommon usage for methemoglobinemia Other medications that can interact with SSRIs to cause serotonin syndrome Dextromethorphan - primarily an anti-tussive at sigma opioid receptors that also has serotonin reuptake inhibition Clinical presentation of serotonin syndrome Altered mental status Autonomic dysregulation leading to hypertension (most common), hypotension, and tachycardia Hyperthermia Neuromuscular hyperactivity - tremors, myoclonus, and hyperreflexia Hunter Criteria (high sensitivity and specificity for serotonin syndrome): Spontaneous clonus Inducible clonus + agitation or diaphoresis Ocular clonus + agitation or diaphoresis Tremor + hyperreflexia Hypertonia, temperature > 38º C, and ocular or inducible clonus Management of serotonin syndrome Primarily supportive - benzodiazepines can help treat hypertension, agitation, and hyperthermia. Patients often require repeated and higher dosing of benzodiazepines Avoid antipyretics to treat hyperthermia since the elevated temperature is due to sustained muscle contraction and not central temperature dysregulation In refractory patients, cyproheptadine (a 5HT2 antagonist) may be used as a second-line treatment Patients with temperatures > 41.1º C or 106º F require medically induced paralysis and intubation to control their temperature References Boyer EW, Shannon M.

Victims groomed and raped by gangs have told the BBC's Senior UK Correspondent Sima Kotecha that they are adamant the crime is still happening to girls across the country. Yesterday, a Tory amendment to the government's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which wanted a national inquiry into grooming gangs, was voted down. Krupa Padhy talks to Sima and Simon Morton, a former senior investigating officer for Thames Valley Police, about what is known about how these gangs operate.Playing Nice, a new ITV drama, tells the story of two couples who discover their toddlers were accidentally swapped at birth. Actor Niamh Algar, who plays one of the mothers, and Grace Ofori-Attah, who wrote the script for the small screen, join Krupa to talk about the moral and ethical issues within the series, and why they hope it will spark a conversation.Two women who've developed a firm friendship through a shared experience of having a rare eye cancer join Krupa to talk about the incredible bond they have forged. Ocular melanoma affects only five in a million people but Tessa Wingfield-Parry and Joanna Denman, who happen to live just around the corner from each other, both were diagnosed. They talk about how they met, the impact the disease has had on their lives, and how they've discovered they've got a lot more in common than just their cancer.Whilst doing her Masters at the University of Cambridge, Times writer Tyler Bennett earnt extra money on the side writing erotica. Having cracked the code to a good steamy story, she joins Krupa along with the Man Booker shortlisted author Sarah Hall to discuss the genre, breaking taboos and erotica's ability to empower.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Rebecca Myatt

Both Kyle and JJ went in with relatively low expectations, but they've found themselves completely captivated by this universe.But before we get lost in space, there's a serious topic we need to address: eye syphilis. Don't be ashamed and risk losing an eye. Globally, there are about 12 million new cases of syphilis each year, with approximately 55,400 of them in the United States. Ocular syphilis occurs in an estimated 1% to 5% of neurosyphilis cases in the U.S. While rare, its complications are serious, potentially leading to vision loss and even blindness. The good news is that early and complete antibiotic treatment can cure ocular syphilis. So, stay informed and stay safe, just like our favorite Guardians protecting the galaxy.

La cirugía plástica ocular, también llamada oculoplastia, es la parte de la oftalmología que se ocupa de las estructuras faciales perioculares (párpados, órbita y vía lagrimal). En los procedimientos que se realizan en esta disciplina, la mejora estética no es el único objetivo, sino que la oculoplastia tiene una importante aplicación en la corrección de la función ocular, por ello no debe entenderse solo como una cirugía estética, sino también como una solución oftalmológica.  Algunas de las alteraciones que permite corregir la oculoplastia son las bolsas en los ojos o el exceso de piel y descolgamiento del párpado, con técnicas que seguro que te suenan, como la blefaroplastia. Su objetivo es corregir los signos y síntomas que el paso del tiempo produce en los párpados, pero también mejorar la calidad visual, ya que en algunas personas la caída del párpado superior es tan significativa que llega a limitar el campo visual.  Esta semana vamos a asistir a una masterclass en oculoplastia con la Dra. Andrea Sales, oftalmóloga de la Unidad de Oculoplastia de Clínica Baviera Madrid. Es licenciada en Medicina y Cirugía y especialista en Oftalmología con formación específica en Cirugía de párpados, órbita y vías lagrimales.
