SIU inventor's medicine to protect hearing nears final research phase

Posted on by

Thousands of American soldiers and millions of civilians could avoid noise-related hearing loss if the final stage of research, scheduled to begin next month at a U.S. Army base, continues to prove the benefit of a protective medicine invented by a scientist at Springfields Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

I want to see this over the finish line, said Kathleen Campbell, an SIU faculty member for almost 25 years and the medical schools first researcher to bring an invention to the highest level of testing a Phase 3 clinical trial on the path to Food and Drug Administration approval.

Campbell has developed an orange-flavored liquid containing a concentrated form of a substance called D-methionine, or D-met. A component of protein commonly found in cheese and yogurt, D-met has been shown in several studies by Campbell and other scientists in the United States and abroad to slow the development of the free radicals that can lead to long-term hearing loss after exposure to loud noise.

Five years away? The Phase 3 trial, lasting for two years, will test the effectiveness of up to four daily tablespoons of D-met syrup taken by drill-sergeant instructor candidates during two weeks of training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.

They fire exactly 500 rounds of M16 weapon fire in 11 days, Campbell said. Its a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. At the end of the trial, we should have less permanent hearing loss in those that are on D-met rather than the placebo.

A total of 600 soldiers will take part in the study as part of a $2.5 million grant Campbell received from the U.S. Department of Defense.

If Campbell can secure financial support from a private company willing to license her patents for D-met and fund a second required Phase 3 trial, the medicine could receive FDA approval and be on the market in as soon as five years, she said.

Studies so far indicate the medicine could be taken before, during and up to three days after the noise exposure and still help cells in the inner ear recover. Body type J: Theyre damaged, theyre floating in all of these toxins, but theyre still alive, Campbell said.

Medicinal first f brought to market, her invention would be the first medicine proven to prevent noise-induced hearing loss, the most-common cause of hearing loss worldwide.

This problem costs the federal government at least $2 billion a year in medical costs and disability payments for active and retired military personnel, Campbell said.

The rest is here:

First of Its Kind Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) Fellowship Program, Located at Houston Methodist Willowbrook …

Posted on by

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - September 20, 2013) - The Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM) Fellowship program at Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine strengthens its footing within Houston and advances the scope of sports medicine, as its first fellows graduate and two more begin.

The Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital PCSM program along with its sister program at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital are unique in that they are both attached academically to the same family medicine residency program, which is also run by Houston Methodist Hospital.Together, they represent the largest Primary Care Sports Medicine training program in Texas. The program provides fellows with a broader understanding of the unique needs of the athletic population -- setting a unique precedence in sports medicine training.

According to PCSM Fellowship Director Scott Rand, M.D., FAAFP CAQSM, the fellows receive multidisciplinary training on advanced diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and concussions.They also gain a detailed understanding of the relationship between exercise and certain medical conditions.

In addition to injuries typically associated with sports medicine, such as sprains, ligament and tendon injuries and fractures and dislocations, PCSM also involves the overall medical care of athletes and active patients of all ages.Concussions, asthma, heart problems, diabetes and nutrition and exercise are also among the issues on which PCSM doctors focus and fellows are specifically trained.

In 2011 the program received accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) through a peer review process and thorough evaluation of established standards and guidelines.There are just 120 accredited programs around the country.

"We are training a new type of specialist, who has the training and experience to care for athletes. In an era of concussion management and the renewed focus on fitness and exercise in medicine, primary care sports medicine doctors specialize in the overall needs of the athlete," said Rand, who is also the director of the first Houston Methodist Human Performance Lab.

"The primary care sports medicine fellowship program is unlike any other that currently exists in the United States -- supported entirely by the hospital with no government funding. We are fortunate that Houston Methodist Hospital sees the value that this specialty has and the need the community has for it -- choosing to fund these programs internally," added Rand.

Rand, who is board certified in family medicine with certificate of added qualifications (CAQ) in sports medicine, oversees all aspects of training and education that the fellows receive -- including experience treating a broad range of injuries and conditions, computerized neuropsychological testing in concussion management, electrophysiology, and other elective rotations in Orthopedic subspecialties, cardiology, and neuropsychology.

According to Beryl Ramsey, chief executive officer, Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and senior vice president of Houston Methodist Hospital the PCSM Fellowship is a significant accomplishment and part of an ongoing commitment to both anticipate and meet the community's needs.

"We recognize the value of such a program -- providing physicians with the skills necessary to care for all of the needs of an active population. This is particularly important today as we stay active longer," added Ramsey.

Stirling Prize: University of Limerick Medical School

16 September 2013 Last updated at 03:11 ET By Lucy Townsend BBC News Magazine Continue reading the main story

Built on a tight budget, Stirling Prize judges say the new development at the University of Limerick "punches well above its weight" in terms of design.

Prof Michael Larvin is in love. From his office on the top floor of the new Limerick Medical School, he gazes out at the grey limestone and the rolling countryside. Light floods his office and the dissected plastic bodies downstairs fit perfectly into their well-organised nooks.

"I'm a hard-nosed surgeon, I know nothing about architecture and have really never had any interest in it - but I'm having a love affair with this building," he says, misty-eyed.

"For the first time in my career I look forward to coming in in the morning and walking through the building and up to my office. Coming back from leave recently, I realised I had missed the building."

The new medical school, designed by Dublin-based Grafton Architects, is part of a wider redevelopment at the university.

Also in the running are Astley Castle, Bishop Edward King Chapel, Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre, Newhall Be and Park Hill Phase 1.

Grafton also designed three blocks of student housing, a bus stop and a public square, which sit together to create a space of calm order within what is otherwise widely regarded as "a hotchpotch university campus of disappointing sheds" - the verdict of the Guardian's art and design critic Oliver Wainwright.

All built for a budget of 13.25m euros (about 11m) the whole project ties together to form the Stirling Prize entry.

The judges described the buildings as "heroic" for their ability to appear strong and spacious, whilst being modest in size and lean in budget.

Posted on by

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Liberty Power, the nation's largest independent retail electric supplier, is proud to announce the winners of its inaugural Liberty Power Bright Horizons Scholarship program.

"Liberty Power's devotion to our nation's foremost duty preparing our youth for the challenges and opportunities of the future is commendable, and we are honored to partner with them in this endeavor," said Marc Rodriguez, USHCC Chairman of the Board.

The Bright Horizons Scholarship was geared towards eligible college students pursuing an education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with an interest in pursuing a career in energy or the environment. A selection committee comprised of business leaders and policymakers within the energy industry selected one grand prize winner to receive a $10,000 scholarship and two runners-up to each receive a $5,000 scholarship. The three winners were honored by David Hernandez, co-founder and CEO of Liberty Power, and the USHCC during the annual convention's closing gala on September 17.

"I was very impressed with our first-ever group of Bright Horizons Scholarship winners; it has been a privilege spending time with them. It is very rewarding to know Liberty Power is helping them prepare for their future," said Mr. Hernandez. "We are delighted to partner with the USHCC Foundation as we continue to support bright young minds pursue their educational goals."

The $10,000 scholarship was awarded to Tatiana Narvaez, who is earning her undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from Rice University.

"I am honored to be a recipient of Liberty Power's Bright Horizons Scholarship mostly because I can be a role model to other Hispanic women pursuing careers in engineering," said Ms. Narvaez. "This award not only gives me a sense of accomplishment for all my hard work but it also helps me continue my goal in providing the future's energy as well as protecting the environment, and for that I am thankful," she added.

The two $5,000 scholarships were awarded to Jonathan Taylor Fairey, an undergraduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in industrial and systems engineering, and Lawrence Valverde, who is earning his doctorate degree in materials science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

"I felt both very honored and thrilled when I found out that I was awarded this scholarship. I've always been intrigued by energy and how it is generated and transmitted and how it affects the environment," said Mr. Fairey. "With the support of this scholarship, I look forward to continuing my education and pursuing a career in energy."

"Receiving the Bright Horizons Scholarship carries great meaning for me. As a young Hispanic pursuing graduate study in a STEM field, I hope to inspire and provide confidence to my younger peers to pursue careers in STEM as well," said Mr. Valverde.

Liberty North’s football seniors — one-of-a-kind

Posted on by

LIBERTY, Mo. Sometimes good things dont happen overnight.

Liberty North High School was opened back in 2010, and its then-newly-fielded football team took its lumps, losing all nine of its games in season number one.

However, those young Eagles are growing up, and so far, 2013 seems to be their chance to take flight before seeing its original class of freshman call it a career.

Liberty Norths first complete class of seniors are getting one last go-round. Its the last opportunity for a group of Northland athletes whove savored every opportunity to play ball.

26 players in Liberty Norths camp are seniors, who will forever brag that they grew up in this system, beginning with their freshman year when LHNS didnt find a single W.

Its a sense of pride, Liberty North Senior Linebacker Nick Hess said. Were all really into this. We really love Liberty North, and we want to do the best for our school and our football team.

Fourth-year coach Ken Clemens has been there for the entire ride, joining when the new high school opened its doors. Clemens looked on as his Eagles stumbled through their early days, while contending with low student enrollment in the new school and general football inexperience in the huddles.

We viewed that as sort of a weakness in the program our first year, Clemens said. Every year, we try harder to be as physical as we can be. The seniors have molded themselves into what weve asked out of them.

Since that winless debut three years back, Liberty North has averaged seven wins per season during their two most recent campaigns. Players say the never missed being moved away from Liberty High, a crosstown football powerhouse.

It was a little strange going to a new school. Nothing was really different after that, Liberty North Wide Receiver Paul Silvio said.
