About this episode
What are the hidden potentials and challenges in veterinary ophthalmology? Join us as we sit down with Michala Henriksen to discuss inflammatory ocular diseases. Michala's research, featured in the December JAVMA ophthalmology supplemental issue, brings to light the promising safety profile of CBD, while also raising important questions about its efficacy and unexpected ties to elevated liver enzymes. We also navigate through the harrowing 2020 Colorado wildfires with Michala, understanding their severe impact on canine eye health, particularly the rise in corneal ulcerations.
But the journey doesn’t stop with canines. Michala shares her personal and professional evolution from veterinary school in Copenhagen to groundbreaking research in equine fibrin. Her passion for inflammation and ophthalmology unfolds through her experiences with fungal keratitis in horses, leading to innovative treatments like platelet-rich fibrin. We also uncover the surprising link between TPA injections and increased glaucoma risk. Wrapping up, we venture into the world of artificial intelligence in veterinary medicine, exploring its potential and challenges in advancing research and education, all while reflecting on the collaborative efforts at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Florida that have helped shape Michala’s remarkable career.
