    Abstract Purpose: To determine differences in cataract surgery outcomes between English proficient (EP) and limited English proficiency (LEP) patients.
    Setting: Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center, Aurora, Colorado.
    Design: Retrospective.
    Methods: Patients who underwent phacoemulsification at the Sue Anschutz-Rogers Eye Center between January 2014 and February 2020 were included. Patients who self-identified as needing or preferring an interpreter in medical encounters were defined as LEP. Differences in surgical characteristics and outcomes including cataract maturity, surgical complexity, and surgical complications were analyzed.
    Results: 868 eyes (6.4%) were identified from LEP patients. LEP patients were more likely to have mature cataracts (5.1% vs 2.3%, P < .0001). LEP patients' surgeries were more likely to be considered complex (27.8% vs 15.3%, P < .0001) and use higher cumulative dissipated energy (mean of 9.5 [SD = 9.5] vs 7.2 [SD = 7.1], P < .0001). Preoperative visual acuity was worse in LEP patients (logMAR 0.566 [SD = 0.64] vs 0.366 [SD = 0.51], P < .0001) but showed greater improvement after surgery (logMAR 0.366 [SD = 0.54] vs 0.254 [SD = 0.41], P < .0001). There were no significant differences in operative time, intraoperative or postoperative complications. More LEP patients were on steroids 4 weeks postoperatively when compared with EP patients (14.6% vs 10.1%, P < .0002). LEP patients were less likely to undergo subsequent YAG capsulotomy (7.3% vs 12.8%, P < .0001).
    Conclusions: Disparities in cataract outcomes between EP and LEP patients was demonstrated. Further research into ophthalmic health disparities for LEP patients is needed to understand the root causes and how they can be addressed.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the relationship between limited English proficiency (LEP) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients presenting for cataract surgery.
    Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of patients who underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and February 2020. Patients who self-identified as needing or preferring an interpreter were defined as having LEP. Differences in demographics, characteristics, and outcomes including history of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), DR, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular edema, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections were analyzed. Statistical comparisons were assessed using logistic regression with generalized estimating equations.
    Results: We included 13,590 eyes. Of these, 868 (6.4%) were from LEP patients. Patients with LEP were more likely to be Hispanic (P < 0.001), female sex (P = 0.008), or older age (P = 0.003) and have worse mean BCVA at presentation (P < 0.001). Patients with LEP had a significantly higher rate of T2DM (P < 0.001), macular edema (P = 0.033), and DR (18.1% vs. 5.8%, P < 0.001). Findings remained significant when controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and type of health insurance. Patients with LEP and DR were more likely to have had later stages of DR (P = 0.023).
    Conclusions: Patients with LEP presenting for cataract surgery had a higher rate of DR and associated complications compared to patients with English proficiency. Further studies are needed to understand how language disparities influence health and what measures could be taken to improve healthcare in this vulnerable population.
    Translational relevance: Our study highlights healthcare disparities within ophthalmology and emphasizes the importance of advocating for improved healthcare delivery for patients with LEP.

    Abstract Undergraduate students participating in the UCLA Undergraduate Research Consortium for Functional Genomics (URCFG) have conducted a two-phased screen using RNA interference (RNAi) in combination with fluorescent reporter proteins to identify genes important for hematopoiesis in Drosophila. This screen disrupted the function of approximately 3500 genes and identified 137 candidate genes for which loss of function leads to observable changes in the hematopoietic development. Targeting RNAi to maturing, progenitor, and regulatory cell types identified key subsets that either limit or promote blood cell maturation. Bioinformatic analysis reveals gene enrichment in several previously uncharacterized areas, including RNA processing and export and vesicular trafficking. Lastly, the participation of students in this course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) correlated with increased learning gains across several areas, as well as increased STEM retention, indicating that authentic, student-driven research in the form of a CURE represents an impactful and enriching pedagogical approach.
