SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Richard W. Light "Pleural Disease Update 2016"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Light is presently Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, Tennessee. \nDr. Light is best known for his research on pleural disease. He developed Light’s criteria for the separation of transudates and exudates in 1972. Subsequently\, he has published many papers concerning the pathogenesis\, diagnosis and management of pleural disease. Dr. Light is the editor of 12 books; the two most famous are the single authored monograph Pleural Diseases–now in its fifth edition–and The Textbook of Pleural Disease which he edits in conjunction with Dr. YC Gary Lee. Dr. Light has now been an author on more than 350 articles and has spoken in 43 countries. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Light will discuss the separation of transudates and exudates. He also will outline the usual tests that he recommends be obtained when a thoracentesis is performed. He will talk about the options available to diagnose a pleural effusion when no diagnosis is apparent after the initial thoracentesis. Lastly\, he will describe the treatment of parapneumonic effusions and malignant pleural effusions. \nHis expertise includes the use of transforming growth factor beta to produce a pleural effusion\, studies of the characteristics of pleural fluid with different diseases\, development of a model of empyema in the rat\, and the relationship between pulmonary hypertension and the presence of pleural effusions.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Morbidity & Mortality\, "Perioperative Delirium"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Andrew Greganti will present a clinical case of a patient who developed perioperative delirium that “unmasked” an underlying dementia.  The case reminds caregivers that elderly patients who are at risk for cognitive decline can rapidly deteriorate after the stress of surgery and hospitalization. \nDr. Lindsay Wilson is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine with a special interest in delirium as it presents in older patients. She sees clinic patients at the UNC Geriatric Specialty Clinic\, The Cedars Retirement Community\, and Galloway Ridge\, where she is the Associate Medical Director. She will offer her insights into the case and will identify ways to improve the care of patients who are at risk of developing delirium.  \nDr. Greganti specializes in the care of elderly patients and the differential diagnosis of complex disease processes. He is Vice Chair of the Department of Medicine with primary responsibility for grand rounds.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Alan Hinderliter and Rick Stouffer "Renal Denervation in the Treatment of Hypertension"
DESCRIPTION:Drs. 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.
