A dissertation of hope; we can change this narrative! #researchmatters #lungcancerscreening @thewhiteribbonproject Chris Draft Family Foundation #steproud Defeat stigma and nihilism #thewhiteribbonproject https://lnkd.in/gcYQuVtz

Amidst budgets and timelines and reviews and approvals, it’s easy to forget why we work so hard at clinical research. We do it for Daisy, and all the other people like her. https://ow.ly/jRuB50RAjhS #clincialtrials #patientcentric #clinicaltrialaccessibility 

Rochester Post(Rochester, MN) dated January 27, 1864, carried an advertisement for a medical practice called Mayo Clinic – located over the Union Drug Store on 3rd Street, with a catchy caption “all calls answered by day or night.” It was well over a century and half before ‘patient centered care’ entered the healthcare lexicon. The legacy of Dr. William Worrall Mayo who established Mayo clinic as a solo practice was carried on by his children: Dr. William J. Mayo and Dr. Charles H. Mayo – the Mayo brothers, who built the foundations of the modern day Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic has consistently been rated as the #1 hospital or near the top for over 35 years. It’s a unique distinction, worthy of the spirit of dedication to patient care, as embodied by the Mayo brothers. Dr. Joe Brudny’s experience of the holocaust and the subsequent experience of treating WWII veterans was the crucible in which the modality of EMG biofeedback began to take shape. This was further shaped into a useful modality by Dr. Gordon Silverman – then Professor at Rockefeller University and the inventor of the technology behind EZ-Pass. JOGO is named after Joe and Gordon – the pioneers whose legacy we are privileged to carry on at JOGO Health. Pursuit of science in service of mankind is the holy grail of medicine. Essential tremors affects over 7 million Americans and a far greater number outside the United States. The clinical study in partnership with Mayo holds the potential for creating evidenced treatments and for moving the needle in patient care. Nothing could be more befitting to the legacies of our respective organizations. https://lnkd.in/gAhNgaRt

UAB researchers, including GBS faculty Dr. Fran Lund, Dr. Paige Porrett, and Dr. Troy Randall, have secured a five-year, $18.5 million grant to delve into the fascinating world of T and B tissue-resident memory cells (TRM and BRM cells). These cells reside in transplanted lungs, kidneys, and uteruses. By studying them over time, we’ll uncover how they arrive, whether they linger or depart, how they evolve, and the roles their offspring play. Read more: https://lnkd.in/etmhJXn8
