46:55

The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Is Rituximab a Wonder-drug?

Dr Diana Conrad, Director of the Uveitis Service at the Royal Women’s and Children’s Hospital (the only speciality uveitis service in Queensland) explores a review paper on the use of rituximab for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis and scleritis. Dr Conrad notes an impressive response rate to rituximab for patients where first and second-line treatments have failed. Given the success of rituximab, and the biosimilars entering the market, Dr Conrad includes some important messages for ophthalmologists using the drug.

Impressed with a 50% success rate? Witnessing blinding acute angle attacks motivated Dr Judy Ku’s passion for primary angle closure disease. She explores how a 50% success rate sounds impressive, but its real-world outcomes are less, especially when factoring in the economic costs of large population screening and proactive treatment. So, while laser peripheral iridotomy is effective in reducing the risk progression to primary angle closure and acute angle closure attacks – what are the caveats? Listen in to find out.

13:08

Factors Affecting Corneal Incision Position During Femtosecond Laser-assisted Cataract Surgery Dr Kerrie Meades was the first female ophthalmologist to perform laser vision correct in Australia. In this podcast, Dr Meades discusses the article Factors affecting corneal incision position during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery . Dr Meades was prompted to explore this topic due to a lack of precision from laser for the second incision. Tilt and displacement can affect the translation of the program of the laser and the actual incision. As such, OCT guidance is needed for the secondary incision, as you do for the primary incision. Dr Meades provides an insight into how patient behaviour and anatomy can affect docking, and therefore incisions. View article here…

Associations Between Anterior Segment Parameters and Rotational Stability of a Plate-haptic Toric Intraocular Lens At face value – does the data always support the conclusion? Dr Madeleine Adams , a cataract surgeon and comprehensive ophthalmologist with a PhD from the University of Melbourne for her research into age-related macular degeneration, offers a cautionary message about always critically scrutinising data presented in papers and coming to your own conclusion as to whether the data supports the conclusions. In the case of associations between anterior segment parameters and the rotational stability of a plate-haptic toric intraocular lens, with a closer look, the data aren’t so convincing.

Periocular Triamcinolone versus Intravitreal Triamcinolone versus Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant for the Treatment of Uveitic Macular Edema: The PeriOcular versus INTravitreal Corticosteroids for Uveitic Macular Edema (POINT) Trial Dr Priya Samalia is a medical retina and uveitis fellow working at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. She examines the POINT trail on effectiveness of Periocular Triamcinolone vs. Intravitreal Triamcinolone vs. Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant for the treatment of non-infectious uveitic macular oedema. Dr Samalia explains that the trail is important because macular oedema is a common cause of vision loss for patient with uveitis and management can be challenging. The paper is a head-to-head comparison and broadly represents a real-world patient mix. While it finds intravitreal treatments are superior, Dr Samalia notes there are valid reasons to perform periocular injections. View article here…

The Pneumatic Retinopexy versus Vitrectomy for the Management of Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Outcomes Randomized Trial (PIVOT) Dr Mali Okada is a consultant at the RVEEH and senior researcher at CERA. In this podcast she discusses the various management options of retinal detachment. Pneumatic retinopexy is routinely used as the first line treatment in many parts of the world for superior retinal detachments, but this is not always the case in Australia and New Zealand, where vitrectomy is preferred. The PIVOT study unpacks the issues, looking at repeat visits, surgical and visual outcomes, requirement for follow-up cataract surgery and more. The study has some limitations but is thought-provoking. It is essential to define the markers of success to support surgeons in determining the best course of action for their patients.…

Laser-assisted in Situ Keratomileusis Long Term Outcomes in Late Adolescence Challenging the norms and parameters of safe LASIK surgery in late adolescents with Dr Tanya Trinh , cornea and refractive surgeon and staff specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital. Myopic disease burden is significant, increasing and contributes to serious comorbidities with progression over time. Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis long term outcomes in late adolescence explores how ophthalmologists can use data and evidence-based outcomes to reduce the prevalence of myopia and begin to challenge what we know about preventing myopic progression. Specifically, the paper evaluates the long-term outcomes, including safety and risks of myopic-LASIK in a late adolescent population, but more studies are needed to critically review available data. It is imperative to properly define safety parameters for this technology in this age group. View article here…
