SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Ann Bailey and Elizabeth Dreesen\, "NPO Guidelines for Procedural Sedation: What Are They and Why Do We Have Them?"
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who uses sedation to accomplish procedures or surgery must adhere to NPO guidelines. UNC Hospital recently approved contemporary NPO guidelines for all procedural sedation. This lecture will detail what those are and why we have them. \nAnn Bailey is Professor of Anesthesiology and Pediatrics. She also serves at Associate Chief Medical Officer of UNC Hospitals. She has a particular interest in studying infants at risk for autism. \nElizabeth Dreesen is Chief of General and Acute Care Surgery\, and Associate Professor of Surgery.

SUMMARY:MHI Seminar Series: Kari North\, PhD\, Genetic Diversity Turns a New PAGE in Our Understanding of Complex Traits
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kari North\, PhDTopic: Genetic Diversity Turns a New PAGE in Our Understanding of Complex Traits \nPresentation Preview: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have laid the foundation for many downstream investigations\, including the biology of complex traits\, drug development\, and clinical guidelines. However\, the dominance of European-ancestry populations in GWAS creates a biased view of human variation and hinders the translation of genetic associations into clinical and public health applications. To demonstrate the benefit of studying underrepresented populations\, the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) study conducted a GWAS of 26 clinical and behavioral phenotypes in 49\,839 non-European individuals. Using novel strategies for multi-ethnic analysis of admixed populations\, we confirm 574 GWAS catalog variants across these traits\, and find 28 novel loci and 42 residual signals in known loci. Our data show strong evidence of effect-size heterogeneity across ancestries for published GWAS associations\, which substantially restricts genetically-guided precision medicine. We advocate for new\, large genome-wide efforts in diverse populations to reduce health disparities.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Jonathan Juliano and Steve Meshnick\, "Evolving Concepts in Malaria Control and Treatment"
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, there were 212 million malaria cases worldwide\, with the majority of deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to the human burden of malaria\, the economic burden is vast. It is thought to cost African countries more than $12 billion every year in direct losses. For more than a decade\, Drs. Juliano and Meshnick have worked together to develop tools to control this epidemic. \nDr. Steve Meshnick is Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Epidemiology. He has worked on tropical infectious diseases\, especially malaria\, for over 30 years and has published more than 340 scientific papers. He has a long-standing commitment to training and capacity-building and has been the primary mentor for 40 doctoral students and for ten post-docs\, including many from developing countries. \nOne of his former trainees\, Dr. Juliano\, and he are now co-leader of the Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Ecology Lab (IDEEL@UNC).  In addition to malaria\, the group has studied African Sleeping Sickness\, tick-borne diseases\, hepatitis\, and Pneumocystis carinii. The goal is to integrate laboratory and field research to develop better tools for infectious disease prevention and control. \nJonathan Juliano\, MD\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine’s Division of Infectious Diseases. He is the Medical Director of the UNC Hospital Antimicrobial Stewardship Program. He is also adjunct faculty in the Department of Epidemiology at the Gillings School of Global Public Health and a preceptor in UNC’s Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology. Dr. Juliano also acts as the Associate Program Director of research and professional development for the UNC Infectious Disease Fellowship program.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, William Fischer and David Wohl\, "Ebola and Lassa Fever: New Concepts of Epidemiology and Therapy"
DESCRIPTION:Severe acute viral infections are one of the world’s most common causes of hospitalization and mortality with worse outcomes disproportionately affecting resource-constrained countries. In the past 15 years we have witnessed the emergence or re-emergence of several viral pathogens that threaten global public health including SARS\, pandemic H1N1 Influenza\, MERS-CoV\, and most recently Ebola.  \n\nFischer\, assistant professor in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine\, was among the first physicians on the ground in Guinea\, West Africa\, caring for patients during that country’s Ebola outbreak. He later teamed up with David Wohl\, MD\, professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases\, in Liberia. In collaboration with health care providers from Liberia and a clinical research organization called Clinical RM\, they launched the first clinical trial of a therapeutic intervention in an Ebola outbreak\, in which plasma from survivors of Ebola virus disease is given to patients who are battling the disease. \n“Our model has always been to couple direct service with clinical research\, with the idea being that if our freezers went down and we lost all of our research samples we were still providing an incredibly important service to patients” said Fischer.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, David Rubinow "Reproductive Mood Disorders: This Is Your Brain on Steroids"
DESCRIPTION:Both basic and clinical studies suggest that reproductive steroids regulate virtually every element of neural signaling and do so in a highly context dependent fashion\, with contexts including cell type\, metabolic profiles\, developmental stage/age\, sex\, environment\, past experience\, and genotype. Reproductive endocrine-related mood disorders in women (premenstrual dysphoric disorder\, perinatal depression\, and perimenopausal depression) offer an unparalleled opportunity to understand critical and distinct processes in disorders characterized by affective state dysregulation\, namely how they are triggered and what renders some individuals susceptible to the disorders. This presentation will describe how manipulations of the reproductive endocrine system can reveal the role of reproductive steroids in the regulation of affect and suggest the means by which differential sensitivity to reproductive steroids translates into the precipitation of negative affective states. \nDr. David Rubinow is the Assad Meymandi Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry. Prior to joining UNC\, he was the Clinical Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and Chief of the Behavioral Endocrinology Branch.  His research interests focus on neurobehavioral effects of gonadal steroids and how genetic variation contributes to differential behavioral response to changes in steroid signaling. Additionally\, the UNC Women’s Mood Disorders Program\, which he directs\, has the first and only NIH training fellowship in Women’s Mood Disorders. On the basis of his research\, he was inducted into the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in 2012. Dr. Rubinow is also the Director of the UNC Center for Innovation and Health Care System Transformation\, which promotes the development of patient-centered innovations designed to address the current challenges facing our nation’s health care delivery system.
