December 2019 in Wuhan, central China. The epicentre of a dangerous new viral outbreak – Covid-19. In a space of just three months, a global pandemic is declared. Healthcare systems are overwhelmed, economies are disrupted and governments impose lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus. Where did this novel coronavirus come from? In what way was it manifesting itself in humans? How was it being spread? We uncover the vital questions scientists ask as they grapple to understand this new virus, and its potential threat. We also speak to the scientists and experts leading the fight against this latest pandemic to develop vaccines and treatments in a bid to halt the coronavirus’ relentless spread.

This video walks the viewer through all the steps in the placement of an Ahmed glaucoma valve with the tube passed into the posterior chamber through the sulcus. This is possible in a pseudophakic eye and has the advantage of preventing possible corneal endothelial decompensation secondary to tube-corneal touch. Posterior chamber tube insertion may also be performed by combining surgery with phacoemulsification in older patients with lens changes.
The video demonstrates use of the patient’s own scleral flap to cover the tube, though it is also possible to use preserved sclera or pericardium for this purpose. Fibrin glue is then carefully used to close the edges of the conjunctiva, ensuring that none passes posteriorly into the sub-Tenon’s space. Video segments also discuss priming of the valve, conjunctival peritomy, sub-Tenon dissection, and how to suture the valve plate. The final segments of the video detail how to trim the tube, the insertion of the tube into the posterior chamber, as well as how to anchor the tube to the sclera via a stay suture, and best practices to closing the scleral flap and conjunctiva.

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world and a significant cause of vision loss in the geriatric population. Vision loss affects patient’s activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life. Cataracts are associated with risk factors such as increased age, diabetes mellitus, and steroid use. It is important for physicians to recognize that patients may not fully understand how cataracts contribute to vision loss and may attribute it to an incorrect eyeglass prescription or other etiology. This video covers cataracts in aging patients, who frequently have additional comorbidities or healthcare consideration to take into account that a non-geriatrician may not be trained to factor into care.

In 2014, five-year-old Ashya King’s parents were arrested. Unwilling to accept their son’s brain tumour was incurable, they took him to Europe – against doctors' advice – for proton beam therapy. In this treatment, high-energy protons travel at two-thirds the speed of light through a patient’s body – at millimetre precision. It can transform treatment for children with inoperable cancers. But bringing it to the UK needs a £250 million investment, and one of the world’s best facilities. A nuclear bunker with six-metre-thick walls to house radioactive equipment. Nearly 2,000 tonnes of kit squeezed into a space the size of four jumbo jets – right under the streets of London and Manchester. Horizon goes behind the scenes of a super-sized engineering challenge.

A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases, reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a provocative exploration of CRISPR's far - reaching implications, through the eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it's affecting, and the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and peer into an uncertain future.

The video starts with an explanation of preoperative assessment, anesthetic management, and surgical preparation. Key steps of the procedure are precisely illustrated.This is followed by a demonstration of a mini access redo valve-sparing aortic root and total arch replacement and stented graft implantation through upper hemisternotomy for a patient diagnosed as Marfan syndrome and acute DeBakey Type II aortic dissection. The video aims to familiarize the practitioners with the whole process, thereby increasing confidence of surgical success.
Marfan syndrome (MFS) ascribes to mutations of the fibrillin-1 gene as an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. The leading cause of death in MFS patients is acute aortic dissection with consequence of medial degeneration and aneurysm formation. Acute type A aortic dissection is an emergency with high morbidity and mortality during surgical repair. Currently, there is an increasing trend of complex operations with expanding strategies to treat various life-threatening events, including re-do surgeries. These can be a stubborn challenge for cardiovascular surgeons. This video presents a 32-year-old male patient with a medical history of Marfan syndrome and acute DeBakey type II aortic dissection. He has received ascending aorta and hemi-arch replacement. Upon admission, he was scheduled to undergo a redo valve-sparing surgery. The surgical plan includes a mini access chest open, cardiopulmonary bypass set up, myocardial protection, and cerebral protection. Surgical steps of approach are followed by aortic root preparation, aortic arch reconstruction and aortic valve-sparing procedure. The patient is stable after 1 year of surgery with normal aortic valve function without regurgitation and stenosis in TTE.

This video starts with explanation of preoperative assessment, anesthetic management, and surgical preparation. Key steps of the procedure are precisely illustrated. In a patient with emergent aortic dissection, an emergent valve-sparing procedure combined with total arch replacement and a stent graft implanted is presented with detailed interpretation. The video aims to familiarize the practitioners with the whole process, thereby increasing confidence of surgical success.There is a significant morbidity and mortality risk on surgical treatment of aneurysms and dissections involving the aortic arch and the descending aorta. For patients with DeBakey type I aortic dissections involving the aortic arch, there has been a focus of debate among cardiovascular surgeons on whether to perform a hemiarch replacement or total arch reconstruction. This video presents a 32-year-old male patient diagnosed with DeBakey type I dissection involving innominate and axillary artery. The surgical plan includes upper hemi-sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass set-up, “arch first' reconstruction with a four-branched-graft (Vascutek), aortic root mobilization and sub-annulus suture placement, re-implantation aortic valve-sparing procedure and stented graft implantation into descending aorta and anastomosis. A 28MM four-branched-graft was used for total arch replacement. 'Arch first' reconstruction was performed by sequential anastomosis of the three arch vessels with the branched-graft. Post-operative imaging showed a normal aortic root and arch.
