His clinical research is focused on the vasculopathy of sickle cell disease\, with an emphasis on pulmonary hypertension and renal complications\, and coagulation activation in sickle cell disease. \nIn addition\, he has a strong research interest in the development of new therapies for sickle cell disease. His clinical trials in sickle cell disease are funded by the National Institutes of Health and the pharmaceutical industry. Results from an international\, multicenter phase 2 clinical trial led by Dr. Ataga were published online by the New England Journal of Medicine last year\, and were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology in San Diego. The trial found that an investigational compound called SeIG1 dramatically reduces sickle cell pain crises. \nSickle cell disease is an inherited\, blood disorder that affects one out of every 500 African-Americans. There are approximately 80\,000 people in the United States with sickle cell disease. It is also one of the most common genetic diseases\, affecting millions of people worldwide. About half of the world’s sickle cell disease population lives in three countries: Nigeria\, India and the Democratic Republic of Congo. \nPatients with sickle cell disease suffer anemia and complications in which sickle-shaped red cells and white blood cells adhere to small vessels and block blood flow to downstream organs. This vaso-occlusive process results in intense pain and repeated hospitalizations. It also leads to progressive multi-organ dysfunction and premature death.

Associate Professor of Medicine\, Duke UniversityTopic: “New Insights into Skeletal Muscle-Endothelial Cell Interactions in Peripheral Artery Disease” \nPresentation Preview: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerotic obstruction of the peripheral arteries\, most commonly the legs. The clinical manifestations of PAD include intermittent claudication\, characterized by pain with exertion that is relieved by rest\, and critical limb ischemia (CLI)\, in which patients experience rest pain with or without tissue necrosis and gangrene. Traditionally\, these different clinical presentations were thought to be due to differences in the severity of atherosclerotic vascular disease and subsequent differences in limb blood flow. However\, individuals with the same degree of vascular disease can present with vastly different phenotypes\, suggesting that genetics contribute to the different manifestations of PAD. Recent insights from our group have demonstrated that the response of skeletal muscle cells to ischemia\, independent of vascular growth or tissue perfusion\, plays an important role in determining outcomes after limb ischemia. In a mouse model of limb ischemia\, a polymorphism in BAG3 (Bcl2-associated athanogene-3) was found to play a key role in determining tissue survival vs. loss after limb ischemia\, and its potential mechanisms of action and role as a therapeutic target in PAD will be discussed. In addition\, several receptors expressed primarily on endothelial cells have been found play a role in modulating skeletal muscle cellular responses to injury\, and these receptors’ potential roles in the response to PAD and skeletal muscle differentiation will be discussed.

Health behaviors–characterized as “lifestyle” factors–are key interventional targets in primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease. Although lifestyle modification programs can be instrumental in reaching public health goals\, maintaining cardiovascular health should not be a matter solely of willpower. Ideally\, structural and social forces should make healthy lifestyles the default option. \nDr. Valentin Fuster serves The Mount Sinai Medical Hospital as Physician-in-Chief\, as well as Director of Mount Sinai Heart\, the Zena and Michael A. Wiener Cardiovascular Institute and the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Cardiovascular Health. He is also the Richard Gorlin\, MD/Heart Research Foundation Professor\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Fuster was the President of Science and is now the General Director of the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III in Madrid\, Spain and also and Chairman of the Science for Health and Education Foundation. \nAmong his many achievements\, it is noteworthy that Dr. Fuster is the only cardiologist to have received the highest awards for research from the four leading cardiovascular organizations: the American Heart Association\, the American College of Cardiology\, the European Society of Cardiology and the Interamerican Society of Cardiology.

DESCRIPTION:Dementia (Alzheimer’s disease and other major neurocognitive disorders) affects 15% of the United States’ population older than age 65 and is the sixth leading cause of deaths among all adults. Despite the impact of dementia on patients\, families and society\, the last FDA-approved treatment was in 2003. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Winzelberg will share evidence-based approaches to both treating dementia and its behavioral disturbances. Dementia remains a disorder in need of more effective pharmacologic therapies. Dr. Winzelberg will discuss strategies to minimize potential harms from currently available treatments for patients with dementia\, including de-prescribing of medications with unfavorable benefit to burden expectations. \nDr. Winzelberg serves as an associate professor in UNC’s Division of Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care Program. He was Medical Director of Carol Woods Retirement Community from 2008-2016. His clinical and teaching interests involve improving the care of vulnerable older adults through effective physician communication with patients and their family caregivers.

By reducing avoidable costs\, we can invest in other needed services (e.g.\, transportation services\, case management\, etc.). \nOur first goal is to reduce avoidable ED utilization\, admissions and readmissions. We are concentrating our implementation efforts on UNC REX\, UNC Hospitals\, Caldwell Memorial Hospital and Chatham Hospital. \nDr. DeWalt was part of the work team that implemented these programs. He is Chief of the Division of General Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology.

DRESS is characterized by a long latency (two to eight weeks) between drug exposure and disease onset\, a prolonged course with frequent relapses despite the discontinuation of the culprit drug\, and frequent association with the reactivation of latent human herpesvirus infections. DRESS will be reviewed in this lecture\, along with related drug-induced dermatitis. \nDr. Sayed practices Adult Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. He has a special interest in treating Hidradenitis Suppurativa and follicular disorders\, along with skin complications of inflammatory bowel disease.

The TAVR program recently completed its 100th procedure; it is quickly growing into one of the busiest programs in North Carolina. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a new technology that provides a treatment option for many patients with aortic valve stenosis who previously had no other treatment option\, or were at high risk for standard open surgical valve replacement due to advanced age\, frailty\, or co-morbid illness. \n\nDr. Vavalle also leads the UNC Heart Valve Clinic where a multi-disciplinary team of cardiac surgeons\, cardiologists\, and advanced practice providers evaluate patients with valvular heart disease to determine the best treatment options available. Dr. Caranasos serves as a co-director of the TAVR Program along with Dr. Vavalle and Dr. Michael Yeung. He is director of Adult Cardiac Surgery.
