Objectives: Few opportunities exist for postgraduate physicians to learn to address racism in their professional practice. We created a virtual, 5-session antiracism course that included the development of a formal action project to address racism at participants' home institution.
Methods: We delivered this curriculum virtually to 2 cohorts (2021 and 2022) of postgraduate physicians, nationally.
Delayed closure of highly myopic macular holes combined with retinoschisis after inverted internal limiting membrane flap.

Purpose: To assess functional and anatomical outcomes of internal limiting membrane (ILM) inverted flap in highly myopic macular holes (HMMHs) with outer-retinoschisis (O-RS).
Methods: Retrospective interventional analysis of 19 eyes with HMMH and O-RS undergoing vitrectomy and ILM inverted flap. At baseline and every follow-up visit (1, 3, 6, 12 months and the most recent) we performed best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, Snellen) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), collecting several parameters: minimum linear diameter (MLD), basal diameter (BD), peri-HMMH nasal and temporal retinal thickness (RT and RT), peri-HMMH nasal and temporal O-RS height (O-RS and O-RS).
Purpose: We report a case of retinal toxicity induced by SBP-101, a polyamine inhibitor for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, presenting as rapidly progressive bilateral central retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) atrophy in a patient with a silent ocular history.
Observations: A 69-year-old female patient with a metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma visited our retina clinic referring a 6-months history of blurred vision and progressive visual field loss. One year before, she started administration of SBP-101 combined with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine to treat her malignancy.
Article Synopsis
- Racism can harm the health of children and teens, affecting their bodies and health markers like weight and blood pressure.
- Researchers looked at many studies to see how racism impacts health, using information from four big databases.
- The findings show that experiences of racism are linked to various health issues, suggesting that racism can lead to serious health problems later in life.
