Roberto Civitelli receives 1994 national bone research award Roberto Civitelli, M.D., assistant professor of medicine, recently received the 1994 Fuller Albright Award from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. The prestigious award is given annually to a young investigator for significant accomplishments in bone and mineral research. Civitelli received the award during the society's annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo. Louis V Avioli, M.D., Shoenberg Professor of Medicine and director of the Division of Bone and Mineral Diseases, presented the award. Civitelli studies signal transduction and communication between bone cells in the body's skeleton. His research has contrib- uted significantly to the understanding of osteoporosis and other disorders of skeletal metabolism. Civitelli's studies have demonstrated that the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment is related to the rate of bone remodeling and that lifetime estrogen exposure and heredity are the major determinants of premenopausal bone mass. His studies also have shown that a slight vitamin D deficiency exists in post- menopausal women with low bone mass and Medical students (clockwise from left) Denise Dewald, Rich Tsai, Valerie Halpin, Julie Fuchs and Marc Seidman serve that the amino acid lysine can boost calcium food they have prepared at a soup kitchen affiliated with Trinity Episcopalian Church, 600 N.

Fans of the Monday night show prob- ably already are aware that a new doctor is coming to the fictitious town of Cicely, Alaska. What they don't know is that his credentials — according to the script writer — include a bachelor's degree from Washington University in St. Louis. The new character, Phillip E. Capra, M.D., will be introduced in the Nov. 28 episode, which airs at 9 p.m. CST. Final editing of this episode was still taking place at Record press time, but according to the production department, the show opens with the new doctor and his wife driving into town for the first time in a four-wheel-drive vehicle that has a Wash- ington University decal on the back win- dow. The two are listening to the local radio station when they hear Chris, the disc jockey, talking about "Doc Capra," played by Paul Provenza. The script, written by Jeff Melvoin, calls for Chris to say, "Our new medicine man is a graduate of Washington University in Clark Cunningham (foreground) and Ron Levin, both professors of law, hunt for treasure at the School of Law's second St. Louis and UCLA medical school." annual rummage sale, held Nov. 2.
