Using the same rudimentary equipment, period clothing and technology as Shackleton, the team sailed a replica <i>James Caird</i> lifeboat 1500 kilometres across the Southern Ocean from Elephant Island to South Georgia before traversing its mountainous interior.

In addition he will share his observations of the extent of environmental change in the form of melting glacial ice in the 100 years since Shackleton's journey and his passionate belief in the importance of utilising the kind of leadership Shackleton stood for to tackle the issues of climate change and biodiversity loss facing us today.</p><p><b>Brief Curriculum Vitae:</b></p><p>Tim Jarvis PhD (Hon) MSc, MEnvLaw is an environmental scientist, adventurer, author, public speaker and film-maker with more than 30 years of environmental experience.

The pathology often involves the vitreoretinal interface in some, while the major underlying abnormality is vascular in others. Recent advances in molecular diagnosis and identification of the responsible genes and have improved our understanding of the pathogenesis, risks and management of the HVRs. Clinically, HVRs can be classified according to the presence or absence of skeletal or other systemic abnormalities, retinal dysfunction or retinal vascular abnormalities [2]. There are some discrepancies in the literature regarding which diseases are included under the overarching term 'hereditary vitreoretinopathies'. Conditions such as Stickler syndrome, Wagner syndrome and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy are generally included, while others such as autosomal dominant neovascular inflammatory vitreoretinopathy (ADNIV) and autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidapathy (ADVIRC) may not. In this review, we will discuss some historical aspects, the molecular pathogenesis, clinical features and management of diseases and syndromes commonly considered as HVRs.</p>","PeriodicalId":55253,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
