Beyond Vision: How Comprehensive Eye Exams Can Detect Systemic Health Issues

In this episode of Beyond Clinical Walls, Dr. Bayo underscores the importance of comprehensive eye exams, which reveal more than just vision issues—they can indicate overall health concerns as well. Joined by Dr. Donahue, an optometrist with deep family roots in eye care, the discussion illuminates how routine eye examinations are a crucial aspect of preventive health care. Dr. Donahue highlights that eye exams can detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, long before other symptoms manifest. This episode reveals that an optometrist's role extends beyond prescribing glasses or contacts; they are pivotal in catching health issues early through the unique vantage point of eye health. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions about eye health, emphasizing that good vision does not negate the need for regular eye check-ups. Dr. Donahue shares insights on the critical differences between vision tests and thorough eye health examinations, stressing that both adults and children should undergo regular eye assessments to catch issues like glaucoma—often dubbed the "silent thief of sight"—before they cause severe damage. Dr. Bayo and Dr. Donahue discuss actionable tips and resources available for those who may not have direct access to eye care due to financial constraints, highlighting programs that provide essential services for eye health maintenance and care.

Episode 200: Dr Meredith Herman – How #PathArt Enhances Education and Connection With Patients

Today my guest is Dr Meredith Herman. What we discuss with Dr Herman: The recently published paper titled "#Path Art: From Glass Slide to Canvas with a Mission of Enlightening the Burdens of Life." The inspiration for the paper came from the use of the hashtag #PathArt on social media, where pathologists share artistic representations of histology and pathology. The research involved exploring the historical use of art in pathology, dating back to the 1600s, and its role in education before modern technology. Pathology is inherently visual, making art a natural fit for the field; many pathologists have creative hobbies. The rise of Path Twitter (now Path X) has positively influenced the pathology community, fostering a movement around pathology art. Path art competitions have emerged, promoting interest in pathology among students and the public. Ethical considerations in path art include maintaining patient anonymity and being sensitive to the serious nature of diseases depicted. The importance of intent in sharing art, aiming for education and appreciation rather than trivialization. White Coat Artistry, which Dr Herman started during medical school, and has grown through social media engagement. Dr Herman's journey into pathology beginning with an interest in biomedical laboratory science and was solidified by mentorship from a pathologist.   Links for this episode: Pathologists' Assistant Shadowing Network Health Podcast Network  LabVine Learning Dress A Med scrubs Digital Pathology Club   #PathArt: from glass slide to canvas; with a mission of enlightening the burdens of life White Coat Artistry on Etsy Dr Herman on Instagram The Healing Art of Pathology   People of Pathology Podcast: Twitter Instagram

This episode is our contribution to Podcasthon, a global collaboration of podcasters to raise awareness of their favorite charities. Our favorite charity is us. We are a 501 (c) (3) organization. Please be generous. Donate at AlzAuthors.com. In this deeply personal and informative episode, hosts Marianne and Christy are joined by panelists Jean Lee, Ann Campanella, Loretta Woodward Veney, and David Iverson, all caregivers for ten or more years, as they explore the five pillars of caregiving – emotional toll, physical strain, financial difficulties, social isolation, and coping strategies. Key Themes & Takeaways: Emotional Toll: Caregivers shared moving personal stories of grief, guilt, and anger while navigating their loved ones’ dementia journeys. There is strength in allowing yourself to grieve, as highlighted by Ann Campanella, who stated, “Grieving clears the way to bring in joy and beauty.” Physical Strain: From exhaustion to disruption of sleep cycles, the taxing demands of caregiving impact physical health drastically. David emphasized practicing self-care through exercise and staying physically active as a necessary coping mechanism. Financial Difficulties: A significant challenge highlighted was the cost of care, with inputs from Jean, Loretta, and Dave emphasizing the overwhelming need for better elder care policies. Loretta noted how caregivers should proactively explore local programs like Medicaid waiver lists early on for financial support. Social Isolation: Many caregivers expressed feeling isolated, especially given the stigma surrounding dementia diagnoses. Loretta found joy in keeping her mother socially active, even organizing creative activities like Lego building to keep her mother engaged. Strategies for Coping: Incorporating joy into daily routines was a recurring theme, especially for Loretta, who promised her mom “a little bit of joy every day.” The authors shared reminders to stay connected with loved ones and leverage support groups for affirming connections and shared experiences.
