SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Anil Gehi and Dr. Faisal Syed presents "Rate vs. Rhythm Control of Atrial Fibrillation"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gehi’s clinical interests include pacemaker and defibrillator implantation and device extraction\, as well as catheter ablation for SVT\, VT\, atrial flutter\, and atrial fibrillation. Dr. Gehi’s research focus includes techniques of ablation for atrial fibrillation (including hybrid ablation)\, processes of care in the management of atrial fibrillation\, and outcomes research in atrial fibrillation through complex analyses of big data. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nI am passionate about helping patients with heart rhythm disorders. It gives me great satisfaction to help individuals with heart rhythm disorders. My area of clinical practice\, which is cardiac electrophysiology\, is additionally rewarding because of its breadth\, scientific and technological depth\, and the opportunity to team with multiple professional disciplines in treating patients with cardiac arrhythmia. Although much of my time is spent in the cardiac electrophysiology laboratory performing procedures\, it’s the interactions I have with my patients that inspire me the most. The environment at UNC Chapel Hill is great for teaching\, collaboration\, research and innovation\, aspects of my work that I also value.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- 2023 Blythe Lecture Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Himmelfarb presents: "Kidney Precision Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:I have been an independently funded NIH investigator for over 30 years\, with a consistent focus on conducting clinical and translational research targeting the major complications of kidney disease\, a public health problem affecting 850 million people worldwide\, 37 million US adults\, and is the 10th leading cause of death in the US. In 2008 I became the inaugural Director of the Kidney Research Institute (KRI)\, Professor of Medicine\, and holder of the Joseph W. Eschbach M.D. Endowed Chair in Kidney Research at the University of Washington. The KRI was established with the mission to conduct research that can improve the lives of people living with kidney disease. Under my leadership\, the KRI has catalyzed kidney-disease related research across the entire University of Washington and nationwide\, obtaining over $200 million in aggregate extra-mural funding\, enrolling over 8000 participants in the registry and/or clinical studies of kidney diseases\, and generating over 1500 peer-reviewed research publications. The KRI has pioneered patient engagement efforts with the establishment of the Patient Advisory Committee\, in addition to an external Scientific Advisory Committee. I have continued with my own research including the development of a “kidney-on-a-chip” microphysiological system and leading the Central Hub and Chairing the Steering Committee for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project\, a top priority for the NIH/NIDDK. I have been conducting collaborative clinical research throughout my career\, and have participated as PI\, Co-I\, DSMB or EAC member of multiple NIH-sponsored cohort studies and clinical trials\, including PICARD\, DAC\, HFMC\, HDNT\, ASSESS-AKI\, Re-Building a Kidney\, Novel Biomarkers of Fibrosis\, ISCHEMIA-CKD\, the Kidney Precision Medicine Project\, and the NCATS Organs on Chips consortium. Up until recently\, I served as the Co-Principal Investigator for the UW Division of Nephrology T32 training grant.\nIn 2016\, I also co-founded and became co-Director of the UW Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI). The CDI is currently developing and testing a series of novel and innovative technologies for dialysis\, and aligning these technologies with what matters most to patients\, culminating with a robustly and compactly designed portable and/or wearable dialysis system. CDI’s unique\, patient-oriented approach has been supported by the work of a Human Factors team\, to make sure our technology truly addresses the needs of the end user – the patient. The CDI has won multiple KidneyX prizes including in the artificial kidney and patient innovator competitions. The CDI-sponsored annual IDEAS conference has become the global centerpiece event for dialysis innovators\, stakeholders\, and patients to come together and share their work toward transforming dialysis.\nI have served on numerous study sections and grant review committees\, and scientific advisory boards and have held leadership positions in many national and international nephrology societies. I have been a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine Subspecialty Board on Nephrology\, a Councilor of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and was President of the ASN in 2014-2015. I led efforts within ASN to create a roadmap for Diversity and Inclusion and was the inaugural co-Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. I have served on expert panels for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\, Veterans Health Administration\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other organizations. I have served on numerous editorial boards and am the author of more than 350 peer-reviewed publications. In addition\, I have sponsored/mentored over 40 post-docs\, nephrology fellows and graduate students\, the majority of whom have gone on to successful academic careers. I have received a number of awards over my career; and in 2021\, the American Society of Nephrology conferred the Belding H. Scribner lifetime achievement award for ‘outstanding contributions that directly impact the care of patients with kidney diseases or have substantially changed the clinical practice of Nephrology’.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Druthi P. Chen presents: "APOL1 Gene Variants and Disease Among Individuals of African Descent"
DESCRIPTION:I am deeply interested in and committed to patients with kidney diseases. It is a privilege to take care of complex diseases and be involved with patients and families who come to UNC Kidney Center. In addition to providing personalized care\, one of our major strengths is patient-centered approach to research and clinical trials. I hope that learning together will lead to the development of a unique approach to glomerular diseases. I welcome patients and families to ask me about recent research developments and new clinical trials relevant to their disease.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Eric Garland presents: "Healing the Opioid Crisis with Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement: Outcomes and Mechanisms of An Evidence-Based Therapy for Chronic Pain\, Opioid Misuse\, and Addiction."
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eric Garland\, PhD\, LCSW is a Distinguished Endowed Chair in Research\, Distinguished Professor\, and Associate Dean for Research at the University of Utah College of Social Work and Director of the Center on Mindfulness and Integrative Health Intervention Development (C-MIIND). Dr. Garland is the developer of an innovative mindfulness-based therapy founded on insights derived from affective neuroscience\, called Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE). He has published more than 220 scientific manuscripts and received more than $70 million in research grants to conduct clinical trials of mindfulness for addiction and chronic pain. In recognition of his expertise\, Dr. Garland was appointed by NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins to the NIH HEAL Multi-Disciplinary Working Group to help guide the $1.1 billion HEAL initiative to use science to halt the opioid crisis. In a recent bibliometric analysis of mindfulness research published over the past 55 years\, Dr. Garland was found to be the most prolific author of mindfulness research in the world.
