Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

Our next articlein our Life in College and Women in STEM Series features Dublin High School Class of 2016 graduate and UC Irvine freshman Emily Bryant. Emily is currently pursuing a major in biological sciences at UC Irvine Mary Morehead: Transitioning from high school to college, and moving away from home, can be a big deal for many students. What helped you transition to life at UC Irvine? Emily Bryant: My planner definitely helped me. Without my planner I would have forgotten some of the things I was supposed to do, a planner helped me stay organized. Taking AP classes at Dublin High School really helped prepare me for college-level classes. I especially recommend AP Bio, AP Chem and AP Calc if you are planning to pursue biology in college. My first year biology class was my AP class from high school in a nutshell, with perhaps a little more detail. When youve already seen the material once it really helps prepare you. Morehead: Have you decided on a major? Bryant: At UC Irvine, at least for biology, you can work towards a general biology major and then in your third year you can choose a more specific major. Im … Continue reading →

Physical Therapy Students Volunteer to Teach Gross Anatomy to Local High School Students – Pacific University

Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

Recently, more than 100 high school students from Aloha High School and Faith Bible High School toured the gross anatomy labs on Pacific Universitys Hillsboro Campus as a capstone experience for their year-long anatomy class. Students and chaperones alike communicated their gratitude at the opportunity to learn from the human cadavers, with many students expressing their surprise at how different the muscles and organs of the body look in real life as compared to the images in textbooks. This event would not have been possible without the volunteer work of twelve first-year physical therapy students (pictured below) and the generous educational gift provided by our body donors.

Grey's Anatomy comes of age – The Straits Times

Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

Those who tuned into Grey's Anatomy when it first aired in 2005 may remember the constant shenanigans of its junior doctors, which became a hallmark of the popular show. But after 12 seasons, those surgical interns have grown up, so do not expect them to be too preoccupied with getting frisky in a supplies closet. Star Jesse Williams, who has played plastic surgeon Jackson Avery on the show since 2009, says: "You've seen a lot of characters go through 13 years of growth and they're not kids anymore." This is why the new season, which debuts in Singapore on Friday at 9pm (Star World, Singtel TV Channel 301 and StarHub TV Channel 501), will tackle more grown-up problems such as "what is it like to be an adult with a marriage or divorce and kids who are growing up". "They're not 20something interns making out in the closet. This year, we've really embraced the evolution of the characters," the actor tells reporters in Los Angeles earlier this year. Williams, 35, confirms that this will also be true of Jackson and his ex-wife and colleague April Kepner, played by Sarah Drew, who joined the cast in 2009 too. "We are getting … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

A Derry mother whose 10-year-old son suffers from a rare life-limiting disease has appealed for donations to help get him to America to avail of cannabis treatment that is illegal here. Lynda McIntyres son, Cian, suffers from A-T (Ataxia-Telangiectasia), which is a rare and complex genetic disorder that affects a number of different systems within the body. A-T has many symptoms including difficulty with movement and co-ordination, a weakened immune system and an increased risk of cancer. Many sufferers die before their 20th birthday. Lynda said that Cians condition is declining and that there is no specific treatment available for his illness but rather a fragmentary approach to treating facets of his condition with medicines for a number of different ailments. Cian has A-T, there is no cure and there is no treatment, he is only being treated for other conditions that make up his condition like cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, immune deficiency and in his case, recently anxiety and depression, she told the Derry News. There is no actual specified treatment for his condition. When he has a chest infection theyre using medication for cystic fibrosis and the drugs that they would use for tremors would be … Continue reading →

Premier’s NEO Kids visit is good news for the pediatric centre, doc says – Sudbury.com

Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

While she wasn't there to announce money for the project, Premier Kathleen Wynne's visit to NEO Kids Tuesday morning is an excellent sign, says a local pediatrician. I think it personally really speaks volumes to at least some point getting some commitment, said Dr. Sean Murray, medical director of NEO Kids. Wynne was at NEO Kids at Health Sciences North on May 23 to tout the province's new OHIP+ Children and Youth Pharmacare Program, which would make prescription medications free to those aged 24 and younger starting next year. During a media scrum, Sudbury.com asked the premier if she supports the NEO Kids project, which would consolidate outpatient pediatric care into a new building on the campus of Health Sciences North. I support good ideas, and what I've seen here today is a really good idea, and there's been a lot of great foundational work done already, Wynne said. She added that it's premature to put a date on when financial support for NEO Kids will be forthcoming from the province. At one point, Wynne deferred the question of provincial support for NEO Kids to Sudbury MPP and Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault, who said he's been working behind the scenes … Continue reading →

USMC, Indiana, Texas and Oklahoma Making Hyperbaric Oxygen … – PR Web (press release)

Posted: Published on May 23rd, 2017

CONCUSSION/TBI are physical injuries Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 23, 2017 Camp Lejeune, US Marine Corps, with the cooperation of the US Navy, has agreed to allow active duty Marines to voluntarily participate in an LSU study in New Orleans (http://hbottbistudy.org/). Dr. Paul Harch is investigating the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at 1.5 ATA in the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS) resulting from either blunt or blast injury in both military and civilians. This action builds on the efforts of Rep Walter Jones (R-NC) and over a dozen other lawmakers demanding access to this safe and effective treatment. Hundreds of thousands of brain-wounded active duty and veteran service members are suffering without alternative treatments that can heal the wound to the brain, rather than merely treating symptoms with ineffective drugs and devices, dangerous opioid, and unproven and potentially dangerous drugs like LSD, ecstasy and other exotics. In a companion breakthrough, Indiana PL-217, signed 4/27/2017, establishes a funded Pilot Program for the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This legislation follows a long effort by veterans in Indiana to treat brain-wounded Indiana veterans with … Continue reading →
