With an ever-increasing global population grappling with age-related ocular ailments like cataracts, dry eyes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, the need for new research in this domain is more pressing than ever. In a new study, researchers Kohsaku Numa, Sandip Kumar Patel, Zhixin A. Zhang, Jordan B. Burton, Akifumi Matsumoto, Jun-Wei B. Hughes, Chie Sotozono, Birgit Schilling, Pierre-Yves Desprez, Judith Campisi (1948-2024), and Koji Kitazawa from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, University of Cambridge, and California Pacific Medical Center shed light on a pivotal aspect of corneal health – the impact of ultraviolet-A (UV-A) radiation on corneal endothelial cells. Their research paper was published on the cover of Aging's Volume 16, Issue 8, entitled, “Senescent characteristics of human corneal endothelial cells upon ultraviolet-A exposure.” “The objective of this study was to investigate the senescent phenotypes of human corneal endothelial cells (hCEnCs) upon treatment with ultraviolet (UV)-A.” Full blog - https://aging-us.org/2024/05/uv-a-exposure-cellular-senescence-and-vision-impairment/ Paper DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205761 Corresponding author - Koji Kitazawa - kkitazaw@koto.kpu-m.ac.jp Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.205761 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, cellular senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, RNA-Seq, proteomics, gene ontology analysis About Aging-US Aging publishes research papers in all fields of aging research including but not limited, aging from yeast to mammals, cellular senescence, age-related diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's diseases and their prevention and treatment, anti-aging strategies and drug development and especially the role of signal transduction pathways such as mTOR in aging and potential approaches to modulate these signaling pathways to extend lifespan.

The population of older adults living with dementia is expected to swell to nearly 14 million by 2050 and is estimated to cost the US economy more than 500 billion each year. In the absence of a cure for Alzheimer's disease, the primary cause of dementia, there's interest in understanding modifiable risk factors. In theory, getting a handle on the modifiable risk factors for dementia, would enable public health efforts to reduce cognitive decline in dementia at the population level. We've come a long way in understanding the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias. However, there's still work to be done. In this episode, we'll speak with Dr. Josh Ehrlich, a researcher at the University of Michigan, who has examined vision impairment as a risk factor for dementia.

Children who have been diagnosed with a vision impairment at Birmingham Children's Hospital are benefitting from a brand new welcoming space where they and their families can find practical and emotional support in comfort from RNIB Eye Care Liaison Officer (ECLO) Talia Treen.  The new ECLO room is equipped with a colourful mural, comfortable furniture, a height-rising desk for wheelchairs, an activity table for children with scented felt-tips and play equipment such as Duplo. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Eye Care Liaison Officer Talia Treen and Sukhi McDonald who has made many visits to the new ECLO room with her visually impaired daughter when attending eye clinic appointments at Birmingham Children's Hospital.   Talia began by outlining to Toby what the role of an Eye Care Liaison Officer does in supporting patients and their families and how the room has been transformed into the amazing colourful, friendly and relaxing space which is full of fun things for young visually impaired people to play with.  Sukhi told Toby how the new ECLO room has made visiting the hospital with her visually impaired daughter less stressful and scary and how much it helps knowing that Talia is also visually impaired and fully understands from her own experience what life is truly like for someone who is living with sight loss.  Renovation of the new ECLO room was funded by the Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity. The ECLO role was set up in partnership between RNIB and Birmingham Children's Hospital.  Image: RNIB Connect Radio Bright Green 20th Anniversary Logo

Some subscribers to this podcast feed might have noticed over 2023 that the podcast releases have been a little sporadic. This was mainly due to Matthew Leyton's life becoming more complicated and him not having the time to devote to the podcasts themselves. Matthew has always taken pride in the podcasts as he has always aimed to give the subscriber an enhanced experience over the broadcast show.  With the year rushing headlong into a conclusion and Matthew no longer working with us, I have made the decision to release those episodes he never got around to releasing in their original broadcast form.  This episode looks at the parenting experience, what it is like to have Children with a Vision Impairment when you too are a VI. We all miss Matthew as much as you, the listener, do and of course we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours back in Britain.

EPISODE SUMMARYThis is a  replay of a previously released episode, for Blindness Awareness Month. In this episode, we meet Josh Burch, a 48-year-old man who was born with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. Josh talks about the challenges of growing up blind and shares how he navigates a world built for sighted people with the help of technology and his guide dog, Lou. We also hear more from Josh's stepmother, Julie Burch, and learn how they inspired and learned from each other, and how their relationship has changed over time. Some learning gems from this episode: Don't pet a guide dog, (he or she needs to focus on guiding). Once out of harness, you can pet the dog; iPhones have an option called "VoiceOver"  which anyone can use; If you meet a blind person, don't assume they need help, ask first; Do not spoon-feed or coddle people who are blind, they are like sighted people and just need more assistance; Support groups are great like Lighthouses for the Blind; Encourage independence and build confidence; Good manners, awareness of posture and exercise matters; Tough love sometimes requires patience but it beats sympathy.For the visually-minded who prefer to listen and read or for those who need closed captioning, watch the transcript video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIy4DpLWE94RESOURCES:Guiding Eyes for the BlindRehabilitation Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Daytona, FloridaJAWS, Job Access With Speech screen reader toolLighthouses for the Blind - local chapters can be found across the countryiPhone accessibility featuresOptic Nerve Hypoplasia8 Everyday Items Originally Invented for People With DisabilitiesPEOPLE MENTIONED:Anne SullivanFIND AND FOLLOW JOSH: Josh Burch: jburch73@skyrapture.comFIND AND FOLLOW JULIE:Julie's Mindfulness Art Facebook PageJulie's Author Facebook pageJulie's Author WebsiteSubscribe to Julie's mailing list for information about upcoming books, nature, recipes, and life with Josh

Have you ever considered what the experience is for a blind person to visit your website or your brick-and-mortar business?

How do you make applications that work well for the visually impaired? Carl and Richard talk to Courtney Heitman about building applications that the visually impaired can use. Courtney talks about different kinds of visual impairment including field of view, color blindness, low and no vision. There are tools to help you understand what those impairments are like and to help you test how your app will work for everyone. Then the conversation turns to screen readers - which are challenging to test with because it does take quite a bit of experience to use. There are powerful solutions, you just need to incorporate these accessibility features - sooner, rather than later!

In this episode I interview Nas Campanella, new mum to baby Lachlan and a disability affairs reporter for the ABC. Nas is visually impaired and has a neurological condition that affects her dexterity and balance, so her journey to motherhood has required a lot of active preparation and planning. She talks in detail about the discussions she had with obstetricians pre-conception, her exemplary care during pregnancy and birth, the guidance she received from occupational therapists and the practices she's embraced in postpartum to adjust to new motherhood. As well as sharing a list of practical products that have helped her navigate day to day life with a baby, she discusses the warm and welcoming support she's received from her family, postpartum doula, mothers groups and friends. You'll love this episode. Thank you, Nas!

Techstination interview: Envision makes app & AI glasses for vision impairment more affordable

Paralympian, Gia Pergolini joins me for an interview. She is an 18-year-old world record holder and gold medalist. I'm a little star struck about interviewing an Olympian!! Gia may be a beast in the pool, but she was full of laughter during her interview. Check out these Olympic facts:·         Since the first Olympic games in 1896, the summer Olympics have only been cancelled three times – all as a result of world wars.·         Not until the 2020 Olympics have the games ever been postponed. They were postponed due to the global pandemic.At the time the games were postponed, Gia was a 16-year-old high school who had been training for her favorite event: the 100-meter-backstroke. She was disappointed but determined to take advantage of the extra time to train. When the Paralympics were rescheduled for the summer of 2021 in Tokyo, Gia was ready!Gia qualifies for the Paralympics due to her diagnosis of Stargardt's disease. It's a rare genetic disease that significantly impacts her vision. She is a fighter. Not only does she navigate life with 30% vision, but she is also a fierce competitor in the pool. 

In today's episode we are speaking to Catherine, the Community Fundraiser for Southend in Sight. Southend in Sight is the only charity in Southend which provides support for those living with sight loss. They offer technical guidance, IT advice, emotional support, regular social activities and much more. If you live in Southend you may well have seen their fabulous charity shop which is located on Hamlet Court Road.As in some of our previous interviews, we recorded this episode at the lovely Havens Community Hub in Westcliff - it's one of our favourite places to go in Southend because it is warm, welcoming and is always bustling with friendly faces and activities!

“The bigger our vision of Jesus and the more confidence we have in who he is, the more our circumstances pale in comparison.” Is it possible to be content in any situation? When faced with circumstances outside your control, it can be easy to feel lost and hopeless. But you are part of a bigger story, and you have a purpose.Blind since age three, singer-songwriter Ginny Owens has a unique approach to music and writing that have a way of helping us see more clearly and find hope in suffering. This week on the podcast, she is sharing about pursuing contentment as you live by faith and not by sight. After facing several harrowing struggles in her own life, Ginny discovered a deep contentment that changed her perspective on her challenges. Because although you don't always get to choose your circumstances, you do get to choose the story your life tells.“It is in the darkness that we learn who we are, and most importantly, we learn who God is.” Learn powerful ways of drawing closer to God through music and prayer in Ginny's new book, Singing in the Dark, and accompanying EP, Sing Hope in the Darkness.

When disability strikes, it can be easy for someone to wonder, Why me? What’s the purpose of my disability? At 8 years old, Kristin Hamer received the diagnosis of a genetic eye disease. And as her sight grew progressively worse, she did her best to hide her loss of vision; she didn’t want to accept it. But when her visual impairment reached the point that she was no longer able to be self-sufficient, Kristin had to confront her disability head on. She had to learn how to depend on others and God.  Today on the podcast, Kristin shares how she came to terms with her challenges. Hear how she found contentment with her disability and how  that brought her to a place of being able to minister to others with disabilities all over the world. Watch Kristin travel to Uganda to serve kids with disabilities with Joni and Friends Cause 4 Life: www.joniandfriends.org/podcast Joni and Friends was founded in 1979 by Joni Eareckson Tada who in a diving accident was left a quadriplegic at 17 years old.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. By the time we reach the age of 80, around 15 per cent of us will have glaucoma. By using gene therapy, University of Melbourne ophthalmology professor, Keith Martin, and his team are aiming to encourage the cells that connect the eye to the brain to make new photoreceptors that pick up light, replacing those that have been lost. “The cells I’m most interested in glaucoma are called retinal ganglion cells and these are the cells that connect the eye to the brain,” says Professor Martin. “When light hits the eye, photoreceptors pick up that light and they signal through to these retinal ganglion cells that send the messages back to our brain. If we lose that cable that connects the eye to the brain, the picture quality degrades.” These days, if glaucoma is identified early - it can be effectively treated in most cases. But Professor Martin’s research goes a step further. “We’re moving beyond the era where all we could do for this chronic degenerative disease was slow things down, and we’re now really talking about restoring function in a realistic way.” Episode recorded: April 10, 2019.
