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.

Studies show that when health-care providers promptly recognize sepsis and treat it by immediately administering antibiotics and fluids\, survivorship increases by 50%. Although sepsis most often occurs in the elderly\, the young\, and those with chronic diseases such as cancer or liver disease\, sepsis can affect perfectly healthy people of all ages. Every year\, in fact\, more than 1.6 million Americans develop sepsis during hospitalization\, and nearly a quarter-million of those die from sepsis-related complications. A majority of sepsis survivors who are discharged are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of leaving. \nThe important information delivered through this lecture will help our health-care providers better understand sepsis\, the current progress of the initiative\, and access to the tools and training materials that are being tested or implemented as part of the initiative. \nTina Schade Willis\, MD\, is Professor of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine\, Associate CMO for Quality at UNC Hospitals\, and Director of the UNC Institute for Healthcare Quality Improvement. Her academic focus includes system designs that reduce variation and cycle times leading to improved patient care\, efficiency\, and satisfaction. She is an expert in high performance team training\, performance improvement study design\, analysis\, and management.

They are classified by where the eosinophilic infiltration predominates. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is the most common and well-studied\, and now represents a substantial cause of upper GI morbidity. In contrast\, eosinophilic gastritis (EG)\, gastroenteritis (EGE)\, and colitis (EC) are rare and relatively little is known about them. This talk will review current understanding of EGIDs\, including their diagnosis\, epidemiology\, treatment\, outcomes\, and challenges\, and will highlight research advances. \nDr. Evan Dellon is Associate Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. He also directs the UNC Center for Esophageal Diseases and Swallowing. His research interests are in esophageal diseases\, and eosinophilic esophagitis in particular. He has multiple active protocols studying the epidemiology\, diagnosis\, pathogenesis\, and treatment of EoE. He collaborates with allergists\, pediatric gastroenterologists\, pathologists\, and epidemiologists at UNC\, throughout the US\, and around the world. \n“When you can look back at pathology samples from the 70’s\, 80’s\, and 90’s\, you just don’t see the level of inflammation in the esophagus\, with eosinophils. People didn’t see the findings in the esophagus when they did endoscopies in the 1980’s. Something has clearly changed. The incidence is increasing. It’s becoming more and more common.” URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/event/mar-16/ LOCATION:NC CATEGORIES:Medicine Grand Rounds ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.med.unc.edu/medicine/wp-content/uploads/sites/945/2018/12/evan-dellon.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170316T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170316T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T152047 CREATED:20170316T160000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190307T192434Z UID:10000861-1489665600-1489669200@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds - "Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases" with Dr. Evan Dellon DESCRIPTION:The eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) represent a spectrum of conditions where high numbers of eosinophils infiltrate the GI mucosa and cause pathologic changes and clinicalsymptoms.
