Medicine Grand Rounds: Felicia Cosman, Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University, "Optimal Treatment Strategies for Patients at High Risk of Fracture"
2019-03-28 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Room 4008 Old Clinic Auditorium, Chapel Hill, NC, United States
Felicia Cosman is Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Medical Director of the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
Dr. Cosman’s research includes studies on the causes of osteoporosis and how estrogen, SERMs, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and anabolic therapies work as treatments for osteoporosis. She has also studied the causes of stress fractures and factors influencing the acquisition of peak bone mass during youth, as well as identifying patient factors, which should prompt targeted screening for vertebral fractures. A major research focus over the last decade has been on the use of bone-building medications (teriparatide, abaloparatide and romosozumab). She is a major thought leader in studies of treatment sequences and combinations, long-term treatment paradigms and goal-directed osteoporosis therapy.
Dr. Cosman is the recipient of multiple research grants from the NIH, the Department of Defense, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and multiple pharmaceutical companies. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles in the field of osteoporosis. Most recently, she was selected as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Osteoporosis International.

Medicine Grand Rounds: Dan Jonas, MD, MPH, "Benefits and Harms of Aspirin for Primary Prevention of Vascular Events""
2019-04-11 12:00 - 13:00 | NC
The lecture will describe the benefits and harms of using aspirin for primary prevention and describe the results of newer studies on the topic. Dr. Jonas will discuss why this may be a preference sensitive decision, and address whether we can identify individuals more or less likely to benefit or to be harmed.
Dan Jonas’ areas of expertise include preventive services, unhealthy alcohol use, evidence-based medicine, pharmacogenomics, and individualized therapy. He has led numerous systematic evidence reviews and meta-analyses for the Effective Healthcare Program of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). He currently co-directs the RTI-UNC Evidence-based Practice Center and serves as Deputy Director for Research at the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research.

Medicine Grand Rounds, Kathleen Caron "Lymphatic System in Health and Disease"
2019-05-02 12:00 - 13:00 | Old Clinic Auditorium
Recent studies have brought the lymphatic system to the forefront as an important route of tumor metastasis, the major cause for treatment failure and decreased survival in cancer patients. The spread of cancer cells to the lymph nodes serves as an early indicator of metastatic disease and contributes to the staging of cancer. Furthermore, expression of lymphangiogenic growth factors, including VEGFC and VEGFD, in various animal tumor models is often correlated with enhanced lymphatic metastasis. Therefore, the targeting the lymphatic vascular system to slow or prevent metastasis in some forms of cancer has become an area of intense and robust investigation.
Kathleen Caron is Professor and Chair of the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology. Studies in the Caron Lab are focused on elucidating unique G protein-coupled receptor pathways that are important for the development and function of the cardiovascular system. Using a variety of gene-targeted animal models in conjunction with state-of-the-art in vitro cell biological systems, we have discovered fundamental roles for several secretin- and chemokine-family receptors in cardiovascular development and disease. Much of their recent work has focused on the pivotal roles that RAMPs (receptor activity-modifying proteins) play in controlling receptor function, cellular signaling, and physiology. The importance of the RAMP-receptor interaction is best exemplified by the work centered on the small blood protein, adrenomedullin – a potent lymphangiogenic vasodilator that serves as a strong prognostic indicator for many disease conditions.
