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. Dr. Kasthuri earned his medical degree from the Kasturba Medical College in India. He completed his fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at the University of Minnesota. He is a member of the UNC Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center and the UNC McAllister Heart Institute. Dr. Kasthuri’s clinical and research interests are in bleeding and clotting disorders\, and HHT. \nDr. Jian Liu is the John & Deborah McNeill\, Jr. Distinguished Professor in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. He has been working with heparin for more than 25 years. His expertise is in structural characterization of heparin and heparan sulfate\, biosynthetic mechanism of heparin and enzymatic synthesis of heparin.  He has invented an enzyme-based method to prepare heparin and heparan sulfate from bacteria polysaccharides.  His method could potentially manufacture heparin in a confined facility to improve the safety of heparin drug.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Melina Kibbe\, "Sex Bias in Biomedical and Clinical Research"
DESCRIPTION:Melina R. Kibbe is the Zack D. Owens Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Surgery.  She also is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering.  Prior to UNC\, Dr. Kibbe was faculty at Northwestern University for 13 years where she also served as the Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Surgery and as Deputy Director of the Simpson Querrey Institute for BioNanotechnology. Clinically\, Dr. Kibbe has significant experience with both open and endovascular surgery\, including the treatment of carotid stenosis\, peripheral vascular disease\, and abdominal aortic aneurysms. She is board certified in general and vascular surgery and is RVT and RPVI certified by ARDMS. \nDr. Kibbe has been a strong advocate for sex inclusion in biomedical research. She was interviewed by Leslie Stahl for 60 Minutes in February 2014 on this topic\, and later appeared on The Colbert Report.  Her publications on the presence of sex bias in surgical research gained much media attention nationally and internationally\, and resulted in policy development with the National Institutes of Health\, the Government Accountability Organization (GAO)\, and the FDA.  In addition\, a bill has been introduced into the House\, “Research for All Act of 2015\,” which hopefully will be voted into law.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Marie Demay\, "FGF23 in Normal Physiology and Disease"
DESCRIPTION:FGF23 was initially identified by linkage analysis of a rare genetic disorder characterized by rickets and hypophosphatemia. 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.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, David Weber and Sarah McGill\, "Clostridium Difficile Infection"
DESCRIPTION:Drs. 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.
