SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds: Dr. Myron Cohen presents "Monoclonal Antibodies in Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19: How did we get here and where are we going?"
DESCRIPTION:Myron Scott Cohen was born in Chicago\, Illinois in 1950. Dr. Cohen received his BS degree\, Magna Cum Laude\, from the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana in 1971. He received an MD degree from Rush Medical College\, Chicago\, Illinois. He completed training in internal medicine at the University of Michigan\, and training in infectious diseases at Yale University. After working in 1979 in the Peoples Republic of China on Hemorrhagic Fever with Nephrosonephritis\, Dr. Cohen joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina in 1980. He rose to the rank of Professor over 10 years and served as the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases from 1991 until 2019. He founded the UNC Institute for Global health and Infectious Diseases in 2007. Dr. Cohen has served as Co-PI of the NIH HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) since 2012 and as one of the founders and leaders of the NIH COVID Prevention Network (CoVPN) in 2020. Dr. Cohen is the Yeargan-Bate Eminent Professor of Medicine\, Microbiology and Immunology\, and Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \n  \nFor three decades\, Dr. Cohen’s research has focused on the transmission and prevention of transmission of viral pathogens. Importantly\, Dr. Cohen led the development of laboratory methods to measure HIV in genital secretions\, as well as methods to determine the best antiviral agents to reduce replication of HIV in these compartments in men and women. Dr. Cohen served as Principal Investigator of the multinational HPTN 052 trial\, which demonstrated that antiretroviral treatment of people with HIV infection prevents the sexual transmission of the virus. This work was recognized by Science Magazine as the “Breakthrough of the Year” in 2011.  The results led immediately to worldwide changes in HIV treatment guidelines and HIV “treatment as prevention” (TASP) as the central strategy for reduction of transmission of HIV. Subsequently\, Dr. Cohen has led efforts to develop additional tools to prevent HIV acquisition including long-acting injectable antiviral agents and broad neutralizing antibodies. \n  \nSince onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Dr. Cohen has worked on vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for prevention of COVID-19 as a leader of the NIH CoVPN. Dr. Cohen spearheaded a “proof of concept” study that demonstrated the Eli Lilly drug\, bamlanivimab\, could prevent COVID-19 in long term care facilities\, protecting a profusion of people at highest risk of serious symptoms and death.  He worked with Regeneron to show that the combination of antibodies called REGEN-COV prevented COVID-19 for five months after administration. \n  \nDr. Cohen is the author of more than six hundred publications and one book. Dr. Cohen is a Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology\, the American College of Physicians\, and the Infectious Disease Society of America. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine\, the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, and the American Association of Physicians. Dr. Cohen received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Rush Medical College in 2000. He received the Distinguished Career Award for lifetime achievement from the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association in 2005. In 2008\, Dr. Cohen received the O. Max Gardner Award\, the highest honor in the University of North Carolina System. In 2013 Dr. Cohen received the Smadel Award from the Infectious Disease Society in recognition of his work in public health. Also in 2013\, Dr. Cohen received the Award for Science from the State of North Carolina\, its highest civilian honor.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds Point-Counterpoint\, Raven Voora and Alan Hinderliter "Hypertension Guidelines: Are They Realistic?"
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 ACC-AHA Hypertension Guideline proposes a new definition of hypertension\, and advocates lower blood pressure treatment thresholds and goals for many individuals with high blood pressure. As a result\, more elderly patients are diagnosed with hypertension and are treated more aggressively with medications. Drs. Voora and Hinderliter will discuss the pros and cons of this strategy for the management of high blood pressure in the elderly in a point-counterpoint format. \nAlan Hinderliter’s principal clinical interests are hypertension and echocardiography. He is a hypertension specialist and sees patients with high blood pressure that is difficult to control in the multidisciplinary UNC Hypertension Clinic. Dr. Hinderliter serves as the director of the UNC Hospitals echocardiography laboratory and provides imaging support to the structural heart disease program. His research interests include lifestyle interventions for the treatment of hypertension\, novel therapies for resistant hypertension\, out-of-office blood pressure measurement\, and the cardiovascular effects of air pollution. \nRaven Voora directs the UNC Hypertension Clinic. She is involved in the management of acute and chronic kidney disease at UNC and at the Burlington (NC) Kidney Center. Dr. Voora is a hypertension specialist and sees patients with hypertension at Chapel Hill.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds\, Kathleen Caron "Lymphatic System in Health and Disease"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nKathleen 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.\nWatch the video
