In a gripping exploration of a mysterious new threat to children's vision, this episode of Heliox delves into Hyperacute Outer Retinal Dysfunction (HORD) - a condition causing sudden, severe vision loss in children following fever. Through careful analysis of groundbreaking JAMA Ophthalmology research and emerging COVID-19 connections, we unpack the disturbing pattern of cases first identified in China.
The episode weaves together clinical findings, potential mechanisms involving immune system dysfunction and vascular damage, and the heart-wrenching reality faced by affected families. While most children show improvement within a year, troubling questions remain about long-term impacts and the possible role of COVID-19 in triggering this condition. This essential discussion highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, early detection, and comprehensive support systems for affected children and their families. Join us as we navigate the intersection of cutting-edge research and compassionate care in understanding this emerging threat to children's health.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
