    Abstract Having devoted over 35 years of my professional life to various projects on choroideremia (CHM), I began to reflect on the many lessons that I learned along the way. One of the most important is: we should pay careful attention to possible, unintended psychological harm in clinical research. This lesson was learned early and then reinforced when I engaged CHM patients in an investigator-sponsored Phase IB clinical trial of ocular gene therapy for choroideremia. My second lesson came from the trial itself in that preliminary data may not be sufficient to predict the risks to patients in a clinical trial. In the significant push to begin a gene therapy trial for CHM patients, writing grants, recruiting personnel, interacting with regulatory authorities, acquiring research equipment to test outcome measures, I missed a third lesson. There is significant bias when the principal investigator of an investigator-sponsored clinical trial is also the treating physician in the trial. Ideally, those two roles should be kept separate. Finally, having completed the clinical trial, I learned that gene replacement with an AAV vector may not be the only genetic therapy for CHM; an antisense oligonucleotide therapy may be possible in select cases.

    Abstract In the Campeche Knolls, in the southern Gulf of Mexico, lava-like flows of solidified asphalt cover more than 1 square kilometer of the rim of a dissected salt dome at a depth of 3000 meters below sea level. Chemosynthetic tubeworms and bivalves colonize the sea floor near the asphalt, which chilled and contracted after discharge. The site also includes oil seeps, gas hydrate deposits, locally anoxic sediments, and slabs of authigenic carbonate. Asphalt volcanism creates a habitat for chemosynthetic life that may be widespread at great depth in the Gulf of Mexico.

    Abstract Objective: Sarcopenic-obesity (SO) is characterized by the concomitant presence of low muscle mass and high adiposity. This study explores the association of body composition and SO phenotypes with cognitive function in older adults.
    Methods: Cross-sectional data in older adults (≥60 years) from NHANES 1999-2002 and 2011-2014 were used. In the 1999-2002 cohort, phenotypes were derived from body mass index (BMI) and dual-X-ray-absorptiometry, and cognition was assessed the by Digit-Symbol-Substitution-Test (DSST). In the 2011-2014 cohort, phenotypes were derived from BMI, waist-circumference (WC), and hand-grip-strength (HGS). Cognition was assessed using four tests: DSST, Animal Fluency, the Consortium-to-Establish-a-Registry-for-Alzheimer's-Disease-Delayed-Recall, and Word Learning. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the contribution of inflammation (C-reactive-protein, CRP) and insulin resistance (Homeostatic-Model-Assessment-for-Insulin-Resistance, HOMA-IR) to the association between body composition and cognitive outcomes.
    Results: The SO phenotype had the lowest DSST mean scores (
    Conclusions: The SO phenotype was associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. Insulin resistance and inflammation may represent key mechanisms linking SO to the development of cognitive impairment.

    Abstract Objective: To design and implement a formal skills workshop for ophthalmology residents to practice breaking bad news.
    Methods: A 2-session workshop was developed for 7 ophthalmology residents at the University of Alberta based on a workshop published by Ohio State University. Residents discussed the SPIKES protocol for breaking bad news, practiced mock cases with standardized patients, and listened to shared experiences from patients who had received ocular diagnoses.
    Results: All the residents (n = 6; p = 0.03) at the University of Alberta reported an increase in confidence in 3 measures of an encounter in which they had to break bad news, one of which shared the significant improvement reported by the Ohio State group (n = 9; p = 0.01): setting realistic expectations without destroying hope. Standardized patients discussed their satisfaction with their case training and suggested the provision of eye models or printouts to enhance the realism in the examination rooms. The University of Alberta workshop results replicated those from Ohio State in that the SPIKES lecture and standardized patient session were ranked highly in efficacy (median, 4 of 5). The University of Alberta panel discussion was ranked lower than at Ohio State University, which may have resulted from 1 of 2 patient guest speakers being unexpectedly unable to attend.
    Conclusion: The pilot Breaking Bad News Workshop was well received overall and may serve to inform future incorporation of soft skills development in a formal residency curriculum.

    Abstract We describe the case of a 9-month-old boy presenting with isolated intermittent vertical eye movements most in keeping with upward saccadic pulses, a form of saccadic intrusions. Full-field electroretinogram was consistent with a generalized retinal dystrophy, and genetic testing revealed a hemizygous pathogenic mutation in the CACNA1F gene, confirming the diagnosis of incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (iCSNB). This case describes vertical saccadic pulses as the sole presenting sign of a retinal dystrophy.
