SUMMARY:Health UPdates Webinar #260 "Sari-Saring Sore Eyes: Solving the Conjunctivitis Puzzle"
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar260 \n  \nWebinar #260\nOctober 17\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nSari-Saring Sore Eyes: Solving the Conjunctivitis Puzzle\n\nPresenter:\nDR. RUBEN LIM BON SIONG\nProfessor and Chairperson\nDepartment of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences\nUP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital\n\nReactor:\nDR. REGINALD ROBERT G. TAN\nCornea and Refractive Surgery specialist\nClinical Associate Professor\,\nDepartment of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences\nUP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #260\nOctober 17\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nSari-Saring Sore Eyes: Solving the Conjunctivitis Puzzle\n\nThe ophthalmic landscape in the Philippines necessitates continuous professional development\, especially regarding ubiquitous and highly transmissible ocular surface diseases such as conjunctivitis\, locally known as “sore eyes.” While often considered a self-limiting ailment\, recent localized outbreaks\, influenced by environmental factors\, population density\, and evolving pathogen profiles\, including persistent adenoviral strains and opportunistic bacterial species\, underscore the critical need for updated\, evidence-based management protocols.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will bridge the knowledge gap between primary care diagnostics and advanced ophthalmological interventions by offering a comprehensive\, post-pandemic perspective on this recurrent public health challenge. Our distinguished panel of experts will dissect the complex etiologies of acute and chronic conjunctivitis by moving beyond basic viral and bacterial classifications to address less common but potentially sight-threatening forms\, such as Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) and refractory allergic subtypes. In this episode\, we will provide an in-depth review of advanced differential diagnostic tools\, optimizing the selection of topical antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents\, and judicious utilization of corticosteroids in the presence of corneal involvement. We will also explore emergent treatments and discuss the long-term sequelae of severe conjunctivitis by examining how persistent ocular surface inflammation can compromise the integrity of the corneal epithelium\, potentially leading to chronic dry eye disease or indications for lamellar keratoplasty.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Ruben Lim Bon Siong\, who is the Chairperson of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at the UP College of Medicine and at the Philippine General Hospital. Our reactor is Dr. Reginald Robert G. Tan\, who is a practicing cornea and refractive surgery specialist and is also a Clinical Associate Professor of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at the UP College of Medicine and at the Philippine General Hospital.\n\nJoin us in learning how to execute effective infection control strategies and provide accurate patient counseling to mitigate community-level transmission\, especially in high-risk environments like evacuation centers and clinical settings. Let us all safeguard visual acuity and improving overall public eye health outcomes!

EDMUND E. VILLAROMAN\nChairperson\, Thoracic Surgery and Anesthesia Department\nLung Center of the Philippines\nHead of the Thoracic Section\, Institute of Pulmonary Medicine\nSt. Luke’s Medical Center\nDirector\, Philippine Board of Thoracic Cardiac and Vascular Surgery\nFounding Member\, Southeast Asian Thoracic Society\n\nReactor:\nDR. JOVEN ROQUE V. GONONG\nPulmonologist and Chief\,\nSection of Interventional Pulmonology and Bronchology\nLung Center of the Philippines\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #259\nOctober 10\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nLung Nodule Management: High Tech Na!\n\nThe escalating prevalence of high-resolution\, cross-sectional imaging modalities within the Philippine healthcare system has resulted in an increasing frequency of incidentally discovered pulmonary parenchymal findings\, often presenting as small\, non-calcified\, and clinically indeterminate sub-centimeter lung nodules. These findings pose a critical diagnostic challenge\, thus creating significant anxiety for patients and necessitating a precise\, evidence-based management strategy for all healthcare providers involved in the continuum of care.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will provide a comprehensive and practical framework for the multidisciplinary assessment and management of these lesions by translating complex global guidelines into actionable local protocols. We will systematically review the contemporary approach to risk stratification by detailing the critical clinical and radiological parameters that distinguish benign lesions from those requiring urgent intervention or meticulous surveillance. We will discuss the proper use of established prediction models and the interpretation of suspicious morphologic features and growth kinetics\, which are crucial steps that empower the frontline medical professional in determining the appropriate patient pathway. In addition\, we will discuss the role of advanced diagnostic techniques\, including percutaneous needle aspiration and navigational bronchoscopy\, and the indications for definitive surgical resection\, ensuring that all participants understand the complete progression from detection to therapeutic decision-making.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Edmund E.

SUMMARY:"Debt and Informal Imperialism: Europe\, America\, Asia c. 1815-1915"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of History would like to invite everyone to attend the public lecture of Dr. Juan Luis Simal Duran (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) entitled “Debt and Informal Imperialism: Europe\, America\, Asia c. 1815-1915”. The lecture will be held on October 9\, 2025 (Thursday) 2:30 – 4:00 PM at Silid Balatik\, 1st Floor\, Pavilion 2\, Palma Hall\, UP Diliman.\n\nREGISTER HERE: https://bit.ly/DebtInformalImperialism\n\nABSTRACT:\nThis lecture explores the role of European bondholders as agents of informal imperialism in Europe\, America and Asia in the period 1815-1915. Through a historical-financial approach\, it examines the formation of bondholder committees\, their strategies to pressure debtor states\, and their relations with the main financial European powers\, especially Britain and France. Ultimately\, bondholders played a significant role in the international economic structure and should be given serious consideration in debates on informal imperialism and financial domination in the long nineteenth century. Special attention is given to the case of the Spanish debt at two moments of crisis: the revolutions in Latin America (1810-1825)\, and the final dissolution of the Empire in 1898.\n\nSource: UP Departamento ng Kasaysayan Facebook

LANA CORRINE Q. TAN-CARPIO\nConsultant\, Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility\nDepartment of Obstetrics & Gynecology\nAsian Hospital and Medical Center\n\nReactor:\nDR. INA S. IRABON\nAssociate Editor\, Philippine Journal of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility\nConsultant\, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology\nAsian Hospital and Medical Center\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #258\nOctober 3\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nSocial Egg Freezing: Mga Dapat Malaman\n\nThe intersection of modern demographic trends\, professional advancement\, and the immutable biology of age-related fertility decline has positioned elective oocyte cryopreservation\, commonly referred to as social egg freezing\, as a critical frontier in preventative reproductive medicine. This imperative procedure\, which leverages ultra-rapid vitrification protocols to preserve oocyte viability\, is increasingly sought by individuals proactively managing their reproductive timelines. The burgeoning utilization of this Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in the Philippines necessitates a rigorous\, evidence-based review for all tiers of the healthcare community and the informed lay public.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will discuss the latest clinical\, procedural\, and ethico-legal developments\, including current pharmacological stimulation protocols\, nuanced metrics of success such as age-stratified live birth rates (LBRs) and utilization kinetics\, and how to critically assess the risk-benefit profile associated with the procedure. We will also examine the evolving regulatory environment\, the complexities of providing comprehensive informed consent in a culturally sensitive context\, and the ethical dialogues surrounding reproductive autonomy\, access\, and equity in the Philippine setting.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Lana Corrine Q. Tan-Carpio\, who is a consultant from the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center. Reacting to her talk is Dr. Ina S. Irabon\, who is also a consultant of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center. She also serves as Associate Editor of the Philippine Journal of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.\n\nJoin us on how to become a responsible steward of reproductive information and patient support. Let us all work together and commit to advancing responsible reproductive healthcare across the Philippines.
