University of Chicago Medicine will receive a $6.2 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to battle hepatitis C in Chicago, mounting an all-out assault on the disease, health care administrators will announce Thursday.
About 3.2 million Americans including up to 70,000 in Chicago have hepatitis C, about half of whom are unaware they have the infection, which can progress slowly and is largely symptom-free in its early stages. Over decades, infected individuals can suffer serious liver damage, including cirrhosis or cancer.
The grant will help fund the Hepatitis C Community Alliance to Test and Treat program. Along with other agencies, the initiative aims to train about 200 primary care providers at 30 community health centers over four years. The goal: to screen more than 18,000 Chicagoans annually, said officials.
"This is groundbreaking," said Dr. Daniel Johnson, chief of academic pediatrics at the University of Chicago Medicine. "This will become the template to track any disease process."
Technology will also play a key role in expanding reach. A videoconference system will allow clinicians to engage in case review and discussion. It also will facilitate surveillance and collecting data, along with using social media to increase awareness and promote testing.
"This is probably one of the largest-scale projects we've ever seen. ... It's not happening just at one center, but it uses everyone's strength, citywide " said Dr. Andrew Aronsohn, a University of Chicago Medicine hepatologist, who is developing the interactive curriculum.
Until recently, doctors had few weapons to combat the disease. But new drugs, while prohibitively expensive, are offering better outcomes with fewer side effects, physicians said.
Hepatitis C is spread when blood from an infected individual enters the body most commonly affecting intravenous drug users. But other populations are also vulnerable, including those who have been sexually active and those who had a blood transfusion before 1992, when donor blood testing became required in the U.S.
Two out of three of those living with the disease are baby boomers, according to the CDC, which recommends screening for everyone born from 1945 to 1965.
"This isn't just a fringe population," said Johnson, founder of Extension Community Healthcare Outcomes Chicago, which will lead the screening and treatment initiative. "If you've ever had unprotected sex, many sexual partners or had a partner who has had many partners, you're at risk. If you ever had something like a femur fracture (when you were a child) that might need a blood transfusion ... you could be at risk."

Rockville, MD The Society for Disaster Medicine and Public Health is committed to examining the details of individual disasters and public health crises. With the recent arrival of Ebola in the United States, the journal is launching a special issue on the virus. The journal will serve as an educated and authoritative voice on the virus, risk and threat level, potential of outbreak, preparation and response for the public and media.
The Journal of Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness, began covering events in their entirety via special issues this fall. In doing so, the journal publishes in real time over the total extent of an event or crisis from beginning to end. Due to the intensity surrounding the Ebola virus, coverage may extend beyond one special issue.
Global experts, responders, and scientific and medical professionals in both the Ebola virus and public health will support and supply content for this special and timely issue. Material will be published accordingly after review and will be open to all. Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jim James begins with an editorial that discusses the role of Ebola in the greater picture of transitional public health. The issue will also feature works such as Global and Domestic Legal Preparedness and Response: 2014 Ebola Outbreak by Dr. James G. Hodge, as well as commentary from Dr. Frederick M. Burkle, Operationalizing Public Health Skills to Resource Poor Settings: Is this the Achilles Heel in the Ebola Epidemic Campaign?.
According to Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jim James, "This is a new approach to publishing in a scientific reviewed medical journal. The need for such factual and timely scholarly coverage in modern times is especially critical. Far too often, the media must report on incomplete and/or inaccurate information often leading to the unintentional promulgation of misinformation that will often result in undue public alarm and unwarranted practices and policies. Providing expert information in a timely manner should have a positive impact on more effectively dealing with major events."
###
About the Journal

University of South Florida officials indicated Wednesday they expect to decide in the next couple of months whether to propose a new medical school complex for downtown Tampa or at the universitys main campus.
Its sooner than later, within a month or two, that we will really have everything down, USF President Judy Genshaft said during a committee meeting of the State University Systems board of governors in Jupiter.
USF appeared before the facilities committee seeking $17 million next year to keep the new Morsani College of Medicine project moving. The board of governors submits a proposed higher-education budget to state lawmakers.
Whether the governors recommend approval could rest on how fast the university nails down a location.
The only thing I ask is to get more detail, committee member Mori Hosseini said. Right now, youre asking for $17 million. Thats a big ask.
Medical school funding is one of four big-ticket requests USF presented to the committee Wednesday. The others: $15.8 million for USF Healths new Heart Health Institute, $6 million for a new marine research ship, and $12.3 million for a new College of Business building on the USF Saint Petersburg campus.
USFs $51 million wish list is part of nearly $900 million in capital requests from the states 12 public universities.
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has called the possibility of a downtown medical school a game-changer, and Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, a major downtown landowner, has expressed support for university leaders as they explore the option.
Morsani College Dean Charles Lockwood said Wednesday that USF is studying the idea of putting the new school downtown and weighing whether that would be best for students and the community.
A lot of the ultimate costing and some of the other nuances of this building are going to be highly dependent on where this is located, Lockwood said. Downtown, it may cost more or less, depending on the architectural arrangements that need to be made.
Here is the original post:
JUPITER The University of South Florida must settle on a location for its new medical school building, or it could have trouble getting additional public money for the project next year, a key committee of the state university system said Wednesday.
USF officials say they are still weighing whether to expand on their current campus or build in downtown Tampa. But members of the Florida Board of Governors' facility committee said USF risks missing out on state construction money in the next legislative session if it doesn't make up its mind by the end of the year.
"This committee will not vote on anything it doesn't feel comfortable with," committee member Mori Hosseini said at a meeting at Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus.
USF president Judy Genshaft told members she expected a decision on the location in the next couple of months.
The Board of Governors committee was hearing pitches from all the state's universities seeking money next year for capital projects. The committee makes recommendations to the full board, which will submit a list of priority projects to the Legislature early next year.
State legislators can approve construction money for those projects as the board requests, but they also can choose to fund their own priorities.
USF plans to ask for a total of $62 million in state funds over the next three years, including $17 million next legislative session, for the new medical school building. The project is already in the funding pipeline; legislators this year allocated $5 million to USF for planning costs.
But the committee's comments Wednesday suggested that USF's request for the next round the $17 million could be delayed at least a year if key details aren't finalized. After the meeting, Genshaft said in an interview that she is confident that USF would get all the necessary information to the board in time for the next legislative session.
USF has been in talks with Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik about making a new medical school part of his massive redevelopment project at the southern end of downtown. Genshaft told committee members Wednesday that USF is still talking with Vinik, though she did not provide details.
University officials raised a new complication. If the medical school does go downtown, USF would consider coupling it with another project: the proposed $50 million USF Heart Health Institute that already has a planned location on the main campus on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.

Newswise Online learning interventions and small group debriefings can improve medical residents attitudes and communication skills toward patients with substance use disorders, and may result in improved care for these patients, according to a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University College of Medicine published online in Academic Medicine.
The study used a novel internet-based learning module designed to improve the communication skills of primary care physicians during screenings and brief counseling sessions with patients with substance use disorders. The study was co-led by Paul N. Lanken, MD, associate dean for Professionalism and Humanism and professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Penn, and Barbara A. Schindler, MD, vice dean emerita, Educational and Academic Affairs, and professor of Psychiatry at Drexel.
The study findings with residents are promising because we saw that a relatively brief intervention yielded big changes in their attitudes and communication skills, said Lanken. Based on these results, we would expect improved medical care of patients with substance use disorders, but further studies are needed to look at practice-based and patient-centered outcomes in connection with this type of educational intervention.
Substance use disorders have led to an epidemic of morbidity and mortality, and more than an estimated 100,000 deaths and $400 billion in health and social costs per year in the United States have been directly attributed to the use of drugs and alcohol, according to the study. While health care providers are adequately prepared to diagnose and treat the medical consequences of substance use disorders, they are far less likely to screen for and treat the disorders themselves. However, this study asserts that primary care physicians can play a key role in both prevention and intervention.
Previous studies of educational interventions have shown improvement in screening and counseling patients with substance use disorders, however, these approaches havent been widely adopted, likely due to time constraints of current curricula. The authors suggest that internet-based learning has the potential to reach large numbers of learners with both fewer logistical barriers than other educational formats and comparable or superior effectiveness and efficiency.
The two-part intervention in this study consisted of a self-directed, media-rich online learning module, followed by a small group, faculty-led debriefing. The study group consisted of 129 internal and family medicine residents and 370 medical students at two medical schools (Penn and Drexel) during the 2011-2012 school year. Through a cluster randomized controlled trial design, comparing the intervention group with a control group, the study found that residents showed increased confidence in their ability to screen and identify a substance use disorder, a more positive attitude towards their abilities and improved communication skills. However, among the medical students, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups, both of which improved over baseline.
The difference in findings among students and residents is important to note, said Schindler. The results emphasize that educators need to take into account a trainees stage of professional development and competence when considering how and when to introduce new educational material.
The studys other authors included Penns Richard Landis, PhD, and Jennifer Lapin, PhD, and Drexels Dennis H. Novack, MD, and Christof Daetwyler, MD. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Healths National Institute on Drug Abuse (HHSN271200900021C).

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent at CNN, spoke about the potential of medical marijuana during an Institute of Politics forum event on Wednesday evening. The conversation was moderated by Dr. Staci Gruber, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta discussed the possibilities and challenges in expanding medical marijuana at the Institute of Politics on Wednesday.
The John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum event, moderated by Harvard Medical School associate professor Staci A. Gruber, comes just two days after the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital announced a landmark new program examining medical marijuana. The program will explore the potential impact of medical marijuana on cognition, brain structure and function, according to the announcement, and was funded by a $500,000 gift from best-selling crime writer Patricia Cornwell.
Gupta started off the conversation by discussing his about-face, referring to the well-known2013 CNN column in which he apologized for misrepresenting marijuana to the American public.
I realized that I had in my own way probably dismissed many patients as malingers who were just trying to get stoned, Gupta said. And there are a lot of those people. But there are also a lot of very, very legitimate patients as well for whom not only I realized that medical marijuana was working for them, it was working for them when nothing else had.
He discussed how he afterwards looked at the evidence and found a very distorted picture of marijuana in the medical world, with a disproportionate number of studies designed to find harm. Gupta highlighted the stigma around supporting medical marijuana as a major challenge limiting scientific research on the topic.
Gruber then shared a clip from Guptas documentary Weed, highlighting the story of Charlotte Figi, a five-year-old suffering from severe epilepsy. Charlotte and her family had tried several toxic anti-epileptic drugsbut none of them worked, and Figi was still having around 300 seizures a week.
Medical marijuana was ultimately the solution to Figis condition, and, as Gupta emphasized, Figis story is emblematic of [the story] of hundreds of families.
Families like Figis, he pointed out, are medical marijuana refugees: they can now gain access to medical marijuana in Colorado but can lose their children and be put in prison for drug trafficking if they attempt to leave the state.
I think its interesting to see how his viewpoint changed, Zarin I. Rahman 18 said. Maybe we all need to be exposed to these families that he was, to maybe change our mind on this as well.
