Help us break the tie and advance in the STAT Madness brackets! We need your daily votes! Look for the University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University logo in STAT Madness 2024. Modeled after the famed NCAA March Madness bracket, STAT News has launched a competition to determine the nation’s most innovative and impactful research of the last year. University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute’s Limb Salvage innovation is a finalist and voting begins today here: https://lnkd.in/eS6GACHq   UH was selected based on the transformative research of Mehdi H. Shishehbor, DO, MPH, PhD, President, UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute, related to patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia where our innovative approach of using transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins is saving lives and limbs. Dr. Shishehbor was deeply involved in developing this minimally invasive approach – which diverts the blood from the diseased arteries into the veins in the calf and gets oxygenated blood to the foot – and co-led the clinical trials showing that 76% of patients could avoid amputation and experience wound healing. After the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of these trials, the FDA approved the procedure.  #statmadness #healthcareexcellence #healthcareinnovation

📢 A new research paper by Dr. Jill Cancio's team "Acute Surgical and Rehabilitation Management of Complex Hand Burns in Combat Casualties" Involvement of the hands is the leading cause of postburn functional impairment. This paper guides aspects of care necessary for the management of complex hand #burns in a battlefield setting. Proper assessment and establishment of a comprehensive plan of care at the onset of injury help to ensure optimal functional outcomes in hand function. Basic treatment principles for the acutely burned hand include edema management; early wound coverage, including excision of the burn and skin grafting; early and aggressive hand therapy; and burn-scar contracture mitigation strategies. 🔗 Check the full paper: https://lnkd.in/gXsNqUsF

Wonderful innovator especially in TMS and SUDs

Attending the AD/PD conference in Lisbon this week? Our chief medical officer, Gabriel Vargas, MD, PhD, will give an oral presentation of our impressive Phase 2a data in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease patients this Sat March 9 at 17:25 UTC. CuraSen’s combination adrenergic activator, CST-2032/CST-107, achieved statistically and clinically important effects across several cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, executive function, facial recognition and impulse control — areas known to be impacted by adrenergic function. We plan to initiate longer studies with CST-2032/CST-107 in AD/PD patients with MCI later this year. https://lnkd.in/ghSxqppm #AD#PD#MCI

"As a medical researcher, Vincent Marconi was always suspicious of the idea that healthy aging could be achieved through traditional doctoring alone. Over time he came to increasingly believe in maintaining a strong connection between mind, body and spirit. A holistic approach to aging that considers aging humans through multiple perspectives at once, including the biomedical, behavioral and the social, and physical environment." Check out Emory News Center's interview with DOM researcher, Vincent Marconi, MD, (Infectious Diseases), where he discusses the science of aging, and why we must look beyond traditional doctoring to encompass a holistic, whole-body approach to healthy aging. ➡️Full article: bit.ly/3Ulttr2
