Posted: Published on April 3rd, 2017

Ellen Pompeo may have made her directorial debut on Grey's Anatomy last week but it was Kelly McCreary's Maggie who took center stage in "Be Still, My Soul." The emotional hour focused on a desperate Maggie putting her mother Diane (LaTanya Richardson Jackson) on an aggressive experimental treatment in attempt to save her from inflammatory breast cancer and firing Meredith (Pompeo) as her mother's surgeon in the process. Unfortunately, Diane passed away after complications from the clinical trial. Grey's Anatomy Recap: Is Maggie Able to Save Her Mother?>>> According to McCreary, who went through a range of emotions in the episode, she struggled with her character's tough situation. She also had to put herself in Maggie's shoes as she prepared for the inevitable tragedy. "To prepare, I did a lot of reading about IBC and the treatments, just the way that Maggie goes through trying to find out about what other patients had experienced," she continued. "In other words, I did research in the same way that Maggie did as she was trying to figure out how to treat her mother." Despite the devastating loss that will surely have an immense impact on Maggie's life moving forward, McCreary takes some … Continue reading →

16 Reasons Why 'Grey's Anatomy' Needs a Romance Between Two Men – Wetpaint

Posted: Published on April 3rd, 2017

Youd be hard-pressed to find a show more inclusive of Greys Anatomy did you see those docs wearing hijabs last week? but it still comes up short in one regard. There are no major male characters who are into other men. Its time that changed, and we have 16 reasons why. Greys Anatomy Season 13 airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m ET on ABC. Tip: Use keyboard arrows to navigate None of the shows 13 seasons so far has featured a major gay male character, so this inclusion seems long overdue. Characters like Callie, Arizona, Eliza, Penny, Erica, and Sadie have paved the way and countless Calzona shippers prove how well these same-sex storylines can work. Just this season, for example, two male fiancs arrived at the hospital after a turkey fryer accident. (Culinary foolishness knows no sexual orientation, apparently.) As Marketplace reports, the show has cashed in on the Netflix effect. That is to say, young viewers who were too young to be aware of Greys when it premiered in 2005 have discovered the shows past seasons on Netflix and have caught up to its live airings. When a fan asked the Greys Anatomy creator Why all the gay … Continue reading →

New app tracks Parkinson’s symptoms – McKnight’s Senior Living

Posted: Published on April 3rd, 2017

April 02, 2017 A new smartphone app could help improve treatment for people with Parkinson's disease because it enables individuals and their physicians to track the development of systems between medical appointments, according to its inventors. The Android app, called cloudUPDRS, records the details of movements while a person performs a series of actions with each limb, such as tapping the screen to assess slowness of movement and holding the phone on a knee to assess tremor. The measurements are uploaded to an online Big Data analytics server to calculate a score in the format of the clinical Universal Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, or UPDRS. Additional analytics performed over time enable healthcare professionals to determine how the disease is progressing and can help them make treatment decisions. More regular assessments of disease progression mean that patients receive more consistent and reliable care, and detailed and automated patient analytics permit the early identification of problems such as medication side effects, George Roussos, Ph.D., who is the research lead in computing technology for the app development, said in a statement. By collecting and analyzing data ahead of appointments, clinicians and patients can focus clinic time on treatment strategies rather than clinical assessment. … Continue reading →

Texas Lutheran hosts chemistry fair – Seguin Gazette-Enterprise

Posted: Published on April 2nd, 2017

A group of area students took a peek into the world of science Thursday night during Texas Lutheran Universitys CHAOS Chemistry Fair. Amanda Galvan was among the area residents to visit the fair with their children. My kids are both interested in science, and Im a student here at TLU, as well, she said. I felt like it was a good opportunity for them to actually do some small experiments and see the college students do experiments. This was the third year the fair was held, with this years theme being Chemistry of the Earth. This is our chemistry outreach night, where we have a lot of hands-on activities for students, TLU chemistry professor Alison Bray said. A lot of the experiments are based on different properties of the earth: the water thats on Earth, volcanoes, were doing some iron oxide rust experiments, a lot of things that are hands-on, and you can make snowflakes in the back. The event is run by TLUs Pi Rho Chemistry Club and the volunteer staff was made up of TLU chemistry students. Were an organization that does a lot of outreach at local schools and we do this once every year, club member … Continue reading →
