Hinderliter and Stouffer will discuss treatments for resistant hypertension with a focus on renal denervation\, a novel device-based therapy. This minimally invasive procedure employs a catheter that emits a radio frequency (RF) energy across multiple electrodes. The RF energy is delivered to a renal artery via standard femoral artery access. A series of 1-minute ablations are delivered along each renal artery to disrupt the nerves. This procedure does not involve a permanent implant. \nDr. Hinderliter’s principal clinical interests are hypertension and echocardiography. He is a hypertension specialist and sees patients with high blood pressure that is difficult to control in the multidisciplinary UNC Hypertension Clinic. Dr. Hinderliter serves as the director of the UNC Hospitals echocardiography laboratory and provides imaging support to the structural heart disease program. He also works closely with the kidney transplant program in evaluating risk of cardiovascular events in patients who are considering a transplant. His research has focused on the effects of exercise\, diet\, and weight loss on high blood pressure\, and on novel therapies for resistant hypertension. \nDr. Stouffer is an active clinician with a focus on smooth muscle cell growth regulation. He also has an interest in new treatments for hypertension\, with his work being cited in multiple medical publications. His study on survival rates for in-hospital heart attacks was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal. With a strong research emphasis on advanced interventional cardiology treatments and procedures\, Dr. Stouffer also studies coronary and peripheral interventions. He has also focused additional research on hemodynamics\, valvular heart disease\, coronary artery disease\, renal artery stenosis\, acute coronary syndromes\, and stents.

Doerschuk "Pneumonia: Homeland Security in the Lungs!" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Doerschuk’s Grand Rounds will focus on host defense in the lungs\, particularly how the lungs defend themselves against common stimuli such as bacterial pathogens and tobacco smoke. Airway epithelial cells\, lung macrophages and neutrophils contribute to host defense. These cells and the processes they regulate synergize to result in an integrated response. This response can go awry in many ways\, which often inform us about important mechanisms. Therapeutic interventions hold potential at many steps in this response. \nDr. Doerschuk’s research addresses host defense mechanisms in the lungs\, particularly the inflammatory and innate immune processes that are important in the pathogenesis and course of bacterial pneumonia\, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome\, and cigarette-smoke induced lung disease. Basic and translational studies address the mechanisms of host defense during pneumonia that focus on leukocyte recruitment\, edema\, and lung injury. These studies investigate pathogens that cause community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonias occurring in immunocompromised patients with cancer. Although these processes are important in all inflammatory lung diseases\, her work particularly addresses pneumonia and the acute respiratory distress syndrome using in vivo\, translational\, cell biological\, immunological\, and molecular approaches. Her ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to develop therapies that enhance the inflammatory response when it is beneficial to the host and dampen this response when it is harmful.

Dr. Patti will review the possible role of GERD in rejection after lung transplantation. Strategies for addressing these problems will be presented. \nMarco G. Patti\, MD\, is an internationally known surgeon with extensive expertise in the surgical treatment of esophageal diseases. He is one of the few surgeons in the United States who focus entirely on the surgical treatment of esophageal disease\, specializing in treatment of swallowing disorders\, acid reflux and esophageal cancer. \nPatti is an authority on the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat esophageal conditions. Performed through very small incisions with the use of specialized instruments and miniature cameras\, this approach can lead to a quicker and more comfortable recovery\, a shorter hospital stay and minimal scarring. “Because some of these disorders are so common\, many people tend to live with the discomfort rather than seek treatment\,” said Patti. “So when they finally come to us\, they already have fairly advanced disease.” \nGastroesophageal reflux disease\, known as GERD\, affects an estimated two to three percent of adults. In patients with GERD\, a muscle that separates the esophagus from the stomach does not close properly. This allows stomach contents to leak back\, or reflux\, into the esophagus and irritate it. Although GERD can usually be treated with lifestyle and diet changes combined with medication\, chronic reflux can cause serious complications. Repeated exposure to stomach acid can damage the esophagus and cause bleeding or ulcers. Scar tissue can narrow the esophagus and impair swallowing. Some patients with chronic GERD develop Barrett’s esophagus\, in which some of the lining of the esophagus is replaced by tissue similar to that in the intestine. This condition\, which affects about 700\,000 adults in the United States\, can progress to esophageal cancer\, which is often fatal. \n“Physicians are slowly becoming more aggressive about treating these disorder before the complications begin\,” Patti said. “I have seen too many patients who slowly develop serious damage while struggling with ineffective medications\, when a simple operation could have solved the problem.” URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/event/dec-8/ CATEGORIES:Medicine Grand Rounds ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/wp-content/uploads/sites/945/2019/02/marco-patti-md.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161212T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161212T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T072604 CREATED:20161212T170000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T201832Z UID:10000832-1481544000-1481547600@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Sarah Ciccotto\, MD DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sarah Ciccotto\, MD\, UNC Cardiology FellowTopic: “Cardiovascular Disease in Women: Unique Risk Factors and Implications for Primary Prevention.” URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/event/grand-rounds-sarah-ciccotto-md/ CATEGORIES:Medicine Grand Rounds END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161215T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161215T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T072604 CREATED:20161215T170000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T114506Z UID:10000836-1481803200-1481806800@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Eric Klett\, Louise Newton and Keelee MacPhee "A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Care of Transgender Patients" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eric Klett\, Dr. Keelee MacPhee\, J.

His specialty areas include Glomerular disease\, vasculitis (with primary focus on ANCA vasculitis)\, lupus nephritis\, and drug-induced autoimmune disease. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Pendergraft will describe the impact of lupus on the kidneys and review the current clinical and translational states of lupus nephritis\, including the first successful clinical trial in lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is the term used when lupus causes inflammation in the kidneys\, making them unable to properly remove waste from blood or control the amount of fluids in the body. Abnormal levels of waste can build up in the blood and edema can develop. Left untreated\, nephritis can lead to scarring and permanent damage to the kidneys and possibly end-stage renal disease\, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. It is estimated that as many as 40 percent of all people with lupus\, and as many as two-thirds of all children with lupus\, will develop kidney complications that require medical evaluation and treatment. \nDr. Pendergraft provides medical care for patients with kidney disease\, educates trainees about nephrology\, and conducts translational and clinical research with a special emphasis on autoimmune diseases that affect the kidneys. His other research interests include: \n\nUnderstanding response to therapy and relapse in lupus nephritis and ANCA vasculitis using high-resolution systems-level tools (epigenetic\, transcriptomic\, metabolomic\, proteomic and microbiomic)\nRepurposing FDA-approved drugs for use in lupus nephritis and ANCA vasculitis\nTranslational studies aimed at understanding drug-induced forms of ANCA vasculitis\nClinical trials of existing and novel biologic therapies for lupus nephritis and ANCA vasculitis\nClinical data analysis of large and unique cohorts of patients with either lupus nephritis\, ANCA vasculitis or idiopathic membranous nephropathy\nIn-depth characterization of rituximab use and development of guidelines to prevent and manage adverse event URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/event/dec-22/ CATEGORIES:Medicine Grand Rounds ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/wp-content/uploads/sites/945/2019/02/will-pendergraft.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170105T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170105T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T072604 CREATED:20170105T170000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T201643Z UID:10000838-1483617600-1483621200@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Raj Kasthuri and Jian Liu\, "Heparins: Into the Second Century" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Raj Kasthuri is Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology and is the Director of the UNC HHT Center of Excellence.

Subsequent investigations identified FGF23 as a major regulator of mineral ion homeostasis under normal physiological conditions. Increased levels of FGF23 contribute to the pathology observed in numerous disease states\, including chronic kidney disease. This lecture will discuss the physiologic role of FGF23 and its contributions to disease pathology. \nMarie Demay is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her clinical interests include calcium disorders\, endocrinology\, and osteomalacia. Her current research projects include the role of the vitamin D receptor in keratinocyte stem-cell function and the role of mineral ions and hormones on growth-plate development and maturation using a model of X-linked hypophosphatemia.

Weber and McGill will discuss Clostridium difficile\, often called C. diff\, a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. Illness from C. difficile most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long term care facilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications. \nIn recent years\, C. difficile infections have become more frequent\, more severe and more difficult to treat. Each year\, tens of thousands of people in the United States get sick from C. difficile\, including some otherwise healthy people who aren’t hospitalized or taking antibiotics. \nTreatment of C. difficile infections costs more than $3 billion per year in the U.S. alone. C. diff is one of the most dangerous drug-resistant infections. As a result\, it’s classified as an “urgent threat” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, making it a top priority for microbial researchers. Fecal microbiota transplantation is an effective treatment for recurrent C. difficile positive diarrhea. The Food and Drug Administration allows fecal transplantation to be performed in patients whose C. difficile infection has not responded to standard therapies. \nThrough his roles as medical director of hospital epidemiology and associate chief medical officer of UNC Health Care\, Dr. Weber works to prevent hospital-acquired infections in patients and staff at UNC Hospitals. Dr. McGill cares for patients with recurrent C. difficile colitis and performs fecal transplant. She will examine the indications for fecal transplantation and how it is performed at UNC.

Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids have quadrupled since 1999\, and so have sales of these prescription drugs. Efforts to address the opioid epidemic have focused mainly on reducing non-medical opiate use. Overprescribing of opiate agents has led to a sharp increase in the prevalence of opioid addiction\, which is also associated with a rise in overdose deaths and heroin use. A multifaceted public health approach is required to effectively reduce opioid-related morbidity and mortality. The scope of options to manage patients with chronic pain issues\, along with strategies to mitigate the risks associated with opioid agents\, will be discussed during this Medicine Grand Rounds. \n \nDr. Timothy Ives is the Director of Pain Management Service\, Division of General Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology\, Professor of Medicine and Professor of Pharmacy. His research interests are in the area of inflammation and chronic pain management\, with neuropathic pain in particular. \nDr. Maryam Jowza is Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology. She treats a wide range of pain conditions from acute post-surgical pain to chronic musculoskeletal disorders\, cancer-related pain and neuropathic conditions. She also has a special interest in treating pain in children.
