  • Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents Introduction Names
    JHU Office of Communications Style Guide page 1 Johns Hopkins University Style Guide Contents • Introduction • Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions • Style guidelines Introduction These guidelines were compiled by editors in the Office of Communications to encourage consistency and correct usage of terms across the many publications produced by JHU offices. The guidelines draw from The Associated Press Stylebook 2019 and the 17th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Written from a Johns Hopkins point of view, the guidelines are intended to complement AP and CMOS and, when those sources disagree, to choose between them. For points not addressed in the university guidelines, AP is the preferred source. For points not listed in AP, use the dictionary it recommends: Webster’s New World College Dictionary. When the dictionary gives two spellings, use the first one; when the dictionary and AP give different spellings, use AP’s. A number of individual JHU publications have their own style sheets, more detailed and directed to handling specialized content. Johns Hopkins Medicine, for example, has posted its Branding and Use of Name Toolkit http://brand.hopkinsmedicine.org/gui/content.asp. The guidelines below will supplement those already existing and will contribute to the effort to bring overall consistency to university publications. Names: Johns Hopkins University and its divisions The Johns Hopkins University/The Johns Hopkins Hospital: The preferred shortened name for Johns Hopkins University is Johns Hopkins, not Hopkins. The acronym JHU can be used as a shortened form in informal or internal communications and to avoid repetition of the Hopkins name.

INTRODUCTION A. Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty, is a non-surgical procedure whereby a catheter is inserted in a blood vessel and guided to the site of the narrowing of a coronary artery to relieve coronary narrowing. Primary (or emergency) PCI programs provide emergency PCI intervention in the event of a heart attack shortly after it begins. Elective (or non-primary) PCI programs provide interventions that revascularize coronary arteries that are substantially blocked but have not yet resulted in an immediate cardiac event. For many years, only Maryland hospitals with on-site cardiac surgery services could provide PCI. However, in the 1990s, Maryland began allowing some hospitals to perform primary PCI services without cardiac surgery on-site, first as part of research trials evaluating the safety of providing primary PCI at such hospitals and, later, as a regular clinical service, based on the research findings. The Commission issued waivers to hospitals in order to exempt these hospitals from the requirement for co-location of PCI services with cardiac surgery. In the following decade, similar research evaluated the safety of providing elective PCI services at hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery. The nine Maryland hospitals that obtained waivers to provide elective PCI services participated in a multi-site clinical trial, C-PORT E, a study that was approved by the Commission upon the recommendation of its Research Proposal Review Committee.

    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with Dr. Keith L. Black PERSON Black, Keith, 1957- Alternative Names: Dr. Keith L. Black; Life Dates: September 13, 1957- Place of Birth: Tuskegee, Alabama, USA Residence: Los Angeles, CA Work: Los Angeles, CA Occupations: Neurosurgeon Biographical Note World-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Keith Black was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on September 13, 1957. The younger of two sons born to Robert and Lillian Black, he developed at an early age a passion for science. His parents, noting his interests, encouraged him, and when he was in the third grade, his father brought home a cow’s heart for him to dissect. While in eighth grade, the Black family moved to Ohio, and Black began spending time at the labs at Case Western Black began spending time at the labs at Case Western University. In the tenth grade, young Black had developed enough surgical proficiency to perform his first organ transplant, conducted on a dog, and at seventeen, he wrote his first scientific paper on the damage artificial heart valves can do to red blood cells. After high school, Black enrolled at the University of Michigan, and after only two years of undergraduate study, he was accepted into medical school in 1978. Black earned his M.D. from the University of Michigan in 1981, where he had begun his intense research into the brain and the nature of human consciousness. This search led him down a spiritual path, where he began to study the religions of the world, and ultimately led him to working to cure brain tumors.

While the COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges to caring for our patients, we have continued to make incredible strides in neuroscience research. We have expanded our understanding of the human brain and made significant progress in the diagnosis of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumors, neurovascular and functional disorders, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak and multiple sclerosis (MS). We established the Jona Goldrich Center for Alzheimer’s and Memory Disorders in 2019 to fund research for Alzheimer’s and develop a comprehensive care model for a rapidly growing population at risk for dementia. 2020 marked the inauguration of our Neuroimaging Program, a multidisciplinary effort that will foster work across subspecialties to refine the diagnosis of complex and hard-to-detect neurological diseases, utilizing cutting-edge technology to identify these conditions sooner and with better accuracy.
