Vision loss from diabetic retinopathy brings substantial personal, health, and financial costs. The condition poses unique challenges in medically underserved communities, where patients may have trouble meeting the American Diabetes Association’s guidelines on annual eye examinations. Additionally, patients may be unaware that they have latent retinopathy because they are not yet experiencing any symptoms. Therefore, it is important to develop methods to assist clinicians in caring for diabetic patients.
Dr. Lola Ogunyemi’s team has performed research that demonstrates the potential of certain machine learning methods for identifying otherwise-underserved patients at high risk of diabetic retinopathy. These methods use clinical data collected during the patients’ care. Refinement of the methods to improve their sensitivity and specificity will be an important next step. This work was funded by the National Library of Medicine under grant 1 R01 LM012309.

In the rural, coffee-growing region of Colombia, Profamilia partners with local entities such as the Coffee Growers Association and the Catholic church to demonstrate the efficacy and validity of family planning methods. The homemakers, farmers, and children of a rural town discuss among themselves the benefits of these methods, and how to procure them from their local shops or designated sellers.

Title translates in English as altitude sickness. A man wearing a hat folded from newspaper is writing on a piece of paper. A hand reaches in and places a breathing apparatus in the mans mouth. Other men are shown wearing aviator goggles, writing on paper, and using the breathing apparatus. One man repeatedly holds his hands out from his body, examining their movement. Some of the people in the film wear white coats, suggesting they are scientists or doctors. In the final frames, three men and a woman, all in white coats, are outside, smiling and handling a camera and what appears to be a length of string. This film was made approximately one year after the Deutsche Forschungsrat für Luftfahrt (German Aeronautics Research Council) was founded.
