In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly break down how vision works from start to finish, tying together physics (optics) and biology (retina + neural pathway) in the exact way the MCAT can test it across Chem/Phys, Bio/Biochem, and Psych/Soc.You'll learn how light refracts through the cornea and lens, why the cornea does most of the refraction, and how the eye focuses images onto the retina. Then we walk through transduction in the retina (rods and cones → bipolar cells → ganglion cells), how signals travel through the optic nerve, cross at the optic chiasm (by visual field, not by eye), relay through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), and arrive at the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe for perception.We also cover high-yield MCAT optics and vision topics, including:Cornea vs lens refraction and why LASIK reshapes the corneaFovea and why cones drive high-acuity color visionRods vs cones (low light vs color/detail)Myopia vs hyperopia and which lenses correct each (diverging vs converging)The blind spot and why it existsWhy real images are inverted on the retina and how the brain interprets vision

L'Hospital de Blanes ha realitzat, per primera vegada, una intervenció quirúrgica de retina, un fet que amplia els serveis de la Corporació de Salut del Maresme i la Selva. Fins ara, les persones que necessitaven una operació de retina havien de ser derivades a altres hospitals de referència com el Trueta a Girona o el Germans Trias i Pujol a Badalona. Amb aquesta primera intervenció, l'Hospital de Blanes pot oferir una atenció de proximitat, evitant desplaçaments innecessaris i millorant de manera significativa l'accessibilitat dels pacients a un servei especialitzat que fins ara no es prestava al centre. El cap del servei, Joel Suarez, afegeix que fins ara calia anar al Trueta de Girona o al Germans Trias i Pujol de Badalona. La incorporació de la cirurgia de retina permet, a més, garantir la continuïtat assistencial, ja que el mateix equip que realitza la intervenció quirúrgica és qui posteriorment fa el seguiment del pacient en consulta. La cirurgia de retina es porta a terme a pacients amb patologies “freqüents” com la retinopatia diabètica, les alteracions de la màcula o determinades complicacions que poden aparèixer a conseqüència d'una cirurgia de cataractes. L'increment de més complexitat quirúrgica respon també a la necessitat que els hospitals comarcals evolucionin per poder atraure i retenir talent professional. El següent pas, segons fonts de l'hospital, és dur a terme operacions de glaucoma.

En esta edición de Vida Digital, el Dr. Héctor Montes Franceschi, investigador principal del proyecto Retina de la UTP, explica cómo un conjunto de herramientas de tecnología de asistencia está transformando la vida de personas con discapacidad y adultos mayores en Panamá. Retina evolucionó de trabajos centrados en discapacidad visual hacia soluciones para discapacidad auditiva, personas dentro del espectro autista (nivel 1) y adultos mayores, incluyendo quienes viven con Alzheimer u otras condiciones que requieren acompañamiento cercano.​Entre los desarrollos más destacados está una aplicación móvil que, junto con balizas Bluetooth instaladas en interiores, permite a personas con discapacidad visual orientarse y desplazarse de forma autónoma dentro de edificios, tras un entrenamiento muy breve. El objetivo es que esta tecnología llegue a instituciones públicas, centros comerciales y otros espacios, reduciendo la dependencia de terceros para moverse. En el ámbito educativo, el proyecto ha creado sistemas de apoyo para estudiantes con discapacidad auditiva mediante radiofrecuencia y aplicaciones que convierten voz a texto en tiempo real, permitiendo seguir clases de informática y matemáticas con mayor naturalidad.​Un caso especialmente poderoso es el de un videojuego interactivo, desarrollado con Unity y Blender, que recrea la avenida Justo Arosemena de Penonomé con calles, semáforos, peatones y vehículos para entrenar a una joven con trastorno del espectro autista en cruces peatonales seguros. Después de dos semanas practicando en casa, y con todos los permisos necesarios, la joven recorrió por primera vez la ruta real, cruzando cinco semáforos de forma autónoma, primero junto a un oficial de tránsito y luego sola, mientras su familia y el equipo la acompañaban a distancia.​El Dr. Montes también describe el uso de gafas de realidad aumentada que funcionan como “ojos virtuales” para personas con discapacidad visual, detectando obstáculos en tiempo real y dando indicaciones por audio como “desvíate medio metro a la izquierda”, con tasas de éxito inicial de alrededor del 70–80%. Además, el proyecto experimenta con RFID, balizas y aplicaciones móviles para facilitar el uso del transporte público por parte de personas con discapacidad visual, marcando paradas y rutas en mapas digitales, en línea con tendencias internacionales en accesibilidad.​Para adultos mayores y personas con Alzheimer, Retina ha desarrollado aplicaciones en Android e iOS que usan GPS para definir “zonas seguras” alrededor del hogar; cuando la persona sale de ese perímetro, se envía una alerta inmediata al tutor o familiar, quien puede llamar, coordinar ayuda o acudir al sitio, e incluso se evalúa el uso de relojes inteligentes u otros dispositivos portátiles como alternativa al teléfono. A lo largo de la entrevista, el Dr. Montes subraya la importancia del consentimiento informado, los protocolos de bioética y el cumplimiento de la legislación panameña en materia de privacidad de datos, así como la necesidad de políticas públicas que permitan escalar estas soluciones del laboratorio al entorno real. Aunque el financiamiento formal del proyecto concluyó, los equipos de investigación continúan mejorando los algoritmos y trabajando con entidades como SENACYT y la UTP para que estas tecnologías se conviertan en productos que impulsen una inclusión más plena y participativa.​

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the insane new entry rules being pushed forward by the Department of Homeland Security and the Trump Administration which includes banning non-Americans from entry if they don't send in 5 years of their social media history ahead of time. This includes all of the visa-free countries. Not only is this dystopian, it barely scratches the surface! The legislation also includes submitting phone numbers from the last 5 years, email addresses from the last decade and "when feasible," IP addresses, photo metadata and biometric identifiers including facial recognition, fingerprints, DNA and iris data. Yes, retina scans. Not only will this destroy tourism, it doesn't make sense. Millions of elderly as well as younger generations don't have social media and never have. But that barely matters in the wide scheme of things. This is one of the most insane, blatant Orwellian attacks on privacy and free movement in US history. It may be THE worst. This comes the same week as multiple states mandate digital IDs for online use. Also, the same month that the Trump Administration pushed forward cameras on every highway and freeway with license plate readers and facial recognition to determine if people are suspicious in their driving behaviors and schedules. Social media was ALWAYS meant to be social credit. We have been saying this for around 18 years. As we warned, the Chinese model will be adapted to the United States eventually. China was a guinea pig state for technocracy, used by Trilateral Commission in order to trial run the internet of things. Criticism of government or politicians will get you banned from entry into the United States with this new rule. With the new AI regulatory centralization by the federal government, this technocratic nightmare is worsening by the day with mass surveillance suddenly being overlooked by those who would usually be against it as they were under Obama and Biden. What happened? How is this "winning?" This is a new Tower of Babel being built and normalized around us. What we were called crazy for predicting and warning over decades ago is now accepted by the very people who called us crazy. From the UK to Australia, from Canada to Mexico, from Europe to the United States, the digital surveillance system is well underway and none of this is a coincidence.

Con los ministros comentamos las noticias víricas de la semana, sobre la epidemia de gripe y la peste porcina, sobre la que, según Nuño Domínguez, es muy importante estar bien informados porque, de no gestionarla bien, puede tener gravísimas consecuencias económicas. Jaime García Cantero, en su calidad de director de Retina, nos resume el pronóstico que los analistas de ese suplemento han hecho para 2026: el sector de la IA aplicada es el que se lleva el gato al agua. Además, comentamos cómo se ha observado por primera vez el proceso de gastrulación, el momento más importante y misterioso de la vida humana, cuando las células empiezan a dividirse para formar los órganos. También de la decisión del gobierno australiano de prohibir el acceso a las redes sociales a menores de 16 años, de cómo entrará en vigor y si funcionarán sus verificaciones de edad. La  contaminación lumínica espacial y las palabras del año para el OED, y para nuestros ministros, cierran el tramo: rage-bait" (generación de ira en internet) y "enmierdificación", el término popularizado por Cory Doctorow sobre cómo todo en internet empeora hasta hacerse mierda. 

One of the many ways the Human Longevity Laboratory at Feinberg is studying aging is through the lens of the retina. Manjot Gill, MD, a Northwestern Medicine retina specialist, explains the unique multi-disciplinary approach of the lab and how she is using AI in retinal imaging to predict biological age and help validate interventions that may slow aging. She is vice chair of clinical performance in the Department of Ophthalmology and Professor of  Ophthalmology and Medical Education.

How does the diagnosis affect the disease?In this 2-part episode, Dr. Lara Varden interviews Dr. Jacob Liberman. Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman is a pioneer in the fields of light, vision and consciousness, and the author of Luminous Life: How The Science Of Light Unlocks The Art Of Living, Light: Medicine Of The Future, Take Off Your Glasses And See, and Wisdom From An Empty Mind. Originally trained as an optometrist and vision scientist, his life changed in 1976 after the miraculous healing of his own eyesight, leading him to a deeper understanding of light and the science of life. Having helped countless individuals recover their eyesight, he began to understand the words of Jonathan Swift, “Real vision is the ability to see the invisible.”Last week, Dr. Liberman explained how consciousness often affects our outlook and way of life whether or not we allow the diagnosis to define us or to allow us to figure out our next steps. He focused on telling stories of his experiences training optometrists about light and vision, and how it has transformed his life for the better.This week we learn of how light and different hues of color affect our health. This involves not just the presence of light but as well as complete darkness. Dr. Liberman and Dr. Lara also dive into how the perception of light even to those who don't have sight matters as it affects more than just vision such as our biological clock, how different parts of our body respond, and If you wish to learn more from Dr. Jacob Liberman, you may do so through the following channels:Website: https://www.jacobliberman.org______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!
