In the News September 30, 2016 From: ITNDaily on behalf of Werle, Laura Subject: Mount Sinai In the News - September 30, 2016 Date: Friday, September 30, 2016 2:06:09 PM Attachments: ATT00002.txt In the News September 30, 2016 Nature – September 30 Inflammation in Patients With Cushing Disease — Claire Greenhill Circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines are increased in patients with Cushing disease, both during active disease and after remission, according to new data published in Clinical Endocrinology. These findings demonstrate that cytokine levels are increased in patients after remission of Cushing disease, which could explain the persistent increased risk of cardiovascular-related death. The study, led by Eliza Geer, MD, a professor of endocrinology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, notes that more studies are needed to determine why levels of IL-6 and IL-1β remain elevated after remission of Cushing disease. - Eliza Geer, MD, Associate Professor, Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease, Neurosurgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: http://www.nature.com/nrendo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nrendo.2016.170.html WCBS – September 29 ‘Artificial Pancreas’ Expected To Make Life Easier, Healthier For Type 1 Diabetes Patients — Max Gomez A groundbreaking new device could change the lives of millions of people living with diabetes. Federal regulators just approved an artificial pancreas that can monitor and administer insulin. The key is a computer algorithm that does those calculations faster and more accurately than a patient can. “It looks at the numbers from a moment to moment basis, and it will proactively predict what is going to happen next and make clinical decisions that cannot be done at that rate. You would have to be standing and staring at your glucose monitor day and night,” said Carol Levy, MD, an associate professor of endocrinology, diabetes and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine of Mount Sinai. - Carol J Levy , M.D. , Associate Professor, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine of Mount Sinai Learn more: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/09/29/artificial-pancreas/ WCBS – September 29 Study Finds 30 Percent Of Women Suffer From Fear Of Childbirth — Kristine Johnson A new study reveals there are many women who suffer from a serious phobia about giving birth. Researchers from the University of Michigan found as many as 30 percent of women suffer from a fear of childbirth, and that it can be so significant that it impacts their daily lives. Shari Lusskin, MD, a clinical professor of psychiatry and obstetrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said there are varying degrees of tocophobia. Dr. Lusskin said the fear of not being in control is common with tocophobia, but early intervention can help women regain some of that control, which can reduce anxiety leading to healthier, happier pregnancies. - Shari Lusskin, MD, Clinical Professor, Psychiatry, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/09/28/childbirth-fear-tocophobia/ Kaiser Health News – September 30 Most Hospital Palliative Care Programs Are Understaffed — Michelle Andrews Most hospitals offer palliative care services that help people with serious illnesses manage their pain and other symptoms and make decisions about their treatment, while providing emotional support and assistance in navigating the health system. But hospital programs vary widely, and the majority fail to provide adequate staff to meet national guidelines, a recent study found. Study coauthor Diane Meier, MD, director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care at The Mount Sinai Hospital, said she wasn’t surprised by the low numbers. “There are no regulatory or accreditation requirements that enforce the staffing guidelines,” Dr. Meier said. - Diane Meier, MD, Professor, Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, Medicine, Vice Chair, Public Policy, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Director, Center to Advance Palliative Care Learn more: http://khn.org/news/most-hospital-palliative-care-programs-are-understaffed/ Boston Globe – September 29 Is Marijuana A Gateway Drug? — David Scharfenberg The strength of claims that marijuana is a “gateway drug” has long been debated. Part of the difficulty in coming up with a definitive answer to the gateway question, researchers say, is that there is no way to conduct a randomized experiment with humans. But there have been animal experiments that provide some evidence for a gateway effect. Yasmin Hurd, PhD, a professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, one of the researchers involved in one such study, said the THC-exposed rats experienced changes in the nucleus accumbens portion of the brain, which plays an important role in processing motivation and reward — changes that could make them more susceptible to heroin abuse. “People sometimes try to say that marijuana is a ‘safe drug,’ ” said Hurd, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. “I think it’s a little naive.” - Yasmin Hurd, PhD, Professor, Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/09/29/marijuana-gateway-drug-the-simple- answer-maybe/zxuZVzEMIPNRf5Idlnx4XJ/story.html WPIX – September 29 Hope for New Sickle Cell Anemia Treatment — Kirstin Cole For many adult Sickle Cell Anemia patients, risky bone marrow transplants are the only hope for relief from the intense pain and lethargy the disease causes. “We’ve only had bone marrow transplants for adults very recently because it’s safer in kids. In the 70s the life expectancy was 18. Now we quote people somewhere in the 50s,” said Jeffrey Glassberg, MD, associate director of the Mount Sinai Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program. But there is hope for a new treatment in the form of gene therapy. “With gene therapy, you get your own bone marrow as a transplant. They take that marrow out and the fix it and give it back to you,” says Dr. Glassberg. - Jeffrey Glassberg, MD, Assistant Professor, Emergency Medicine, Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Associate Director of The Mount Sinai Comprehensive Sickle Cell Program Learn more: No web link available. Everyday Health – September 29 6 Ways Weight Loss Can Help Control Diabetes — Marie Suszynski Maintaining a healthy weight has its obvious health benefits—but it can also help you better manage your type 2 diabetes. “This is why lifestyle change through diet and exercise is the best treatment for type 2 diabetes,” says Deena Adimoolam, MD, assistant professor of medicine, endocrinology, diabetes, and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. - Deena Adimoolam, MD, Assistant Professor, Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: http://www.everydayhealth.com/hs/diabetes-guide-managing-blood-sugar/how-losing- weight-helps/ New York Magazine’s The Cut – September 29 Why Am I Always Tired? — Susan Rinkunas You may feel like the walking dead, but before you assume that you have a medical condition or a vitamin deficiency, take a good, hard look at your lifestyle, says Shanna Levine, MD, a primary care physician and clinical instructor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. If you do have saintly sleep habits but your partner or family members say that you snore, that’s worth bringing up to your doctor, too. It’s possible that you have a condition called sleep apnea, which makes you stop breathing periodically, Dr. Levine says. - Shanna Levine, MD, Instructor, Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/09/why-am-i-always-tired.html If you have a news story, news tip, breakthrough, study, upcoming event or patient success story to share or have been contacted by the media for an interview contact: [email protected] 212-241-9200 From: ITNDaily on behalf of Stephanie Sherman To: [email protected] ([email protected]) Subject: Mount Sinai In The News - September 29, 2016 Date: Thursday, September 29, 2016 12:40:14 PM Attachments: ATT00002.txt In the News September 29, 2016 KTBS-TV – September 28 Secondhand Smoke More Insidious Than Thought Nonsmokers can be exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke without realizing it, and be unaware that they are at increased risk for lung cancer and heart disease, a new study suggests. The discovery highlights the need for a more accurate way to assess secondhand smoke exposure than having patients fill out questionnaires. "A crucial finding of this study is that nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke without even realizing it," said lead researcher Dr. Raja Flores. He is chair of thoracic surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The researchers used blood levels of cotinine, a byproduct of nicotine, as a marker for secondhand smoke exposure in more than 20,000 nonsmokers. - Raja Flores, MD, Steven and Ann Ames Professorship in Thoracic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, System Chair, Thoracic Surgery, Mount Sinai Health System Learn more: http://www.ktbs.com/story/33268450/secondhand-smoke-more-insidious-than-thought Newsmax – September 28 Progress Made in Tests for Dementia Cause in NFL Players A separate study published in the journal Translational Psychiatry found brain scans performed on a 39- year-old former NFL player who had sustained 22 concussions revealed that the biomarker AV1451 bound to the parts of his brain in the same way as in people diagnosed with CTE posthumously. The findings, by doctors at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, suggest the biomarker could be used to flag individuals at risk for CTE in the future.

Although addiction specialists welcome Probuphine, which delivers a constant dose of the drug buprenorphine over six months, at this early stage it's complicated for physicians to add it to their repertoire. Patients using Probuphine were 14 percent more likely to stay opioid-free compared to those using a daily sublingual version of buprenophine, according to a study published this month in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. So it's good to have another way to deliver medication-assisted treatment, says Richard Rosenthal, medical director of addiction psychiatry for the Mount Sinai Health System. Rosenthal was one of two principal investigators on a Probuphine clinical trial. "Everybody is waking up to the fact that we're in the midst of an opioid epidemic," says Rosenthal. "There are actually very few medications for addiction of any kind. Given the addiction treatment system in the United States, most of the treatment that's given is psychosocial. There's very little use of FDA-approved medications." - Richard N. Rosenthal.

  • The Urology Residency Program of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
    THE UROLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM OF THE ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT MOUNT SINAI Overview The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Urology Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited program with a training format consisting of one year of preliminary training in general surgery followed by four years of urology. Its home institution is The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. The program is currently approved for a complement of five residents per training year. The program curriculum assures that over the course of training, every resident receives ample experience and didactic grounding in all of the core domains and techniques of urology while acquiring the professional skills and competencies that are characteristic of excellent physicians. Each of the 19 rotations that comprise the curriculum include experience in both in-patient and out-patient treatment settings, with selected rotations offering concentrated experience in areas such as pediatric urology, urodynamics, endourology, female urology, infertility and oncology. An overarching schedule of conferences (led by faculty, fellow residents and guest lecturers), collaborative research projects and support for participation in professional organizations and special programs knit the residents’ clinical experience into the fabric of current urologic scholarship. Our home and affiliated institutions offer an immersive experience in three distinct health care delivery models: the tertiary care academic medical center, the community hospital and the municipal hospital system. Our graduates finish the program with an enviable understanding of the options that are open to them, and well equipped to pursue the urology careers of their choosing. Home and Affiliated Institutions The Mount Sinai Health System consists of seven hospital campuses, each of them a venerable New York institution, located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

In the moments that pass as you read this, mountains erode, plants and animals adapt, and stars dim—all in imperceptibly slow motion. In a similar way, our profession changes. As our knowledge grows exponentially and technology accelerates, we must also adapt and transform into what is possible. Essentially, this has been the core of every CNS Annual Meeting for the past 67 years—to assess our reality, anticipate a better future, point our collective energies in the direction of that future, and prepare for the change we must create. Simultaneously, it is also important to note all that we have accomplished. Neurosurgery can proudly say that what was lethal only a few generations ago, is now survivable. Our ongoing achievements deserve our admiration and are cause for celebration. This paradox between all we have done and all that we have left to do is what drives us to become better. It is also the driving concept behind this year’s CNS Annual Meeting theme Transformation and Celebration. Within this Preliminary Program, you will see dozens of educational programs and sessions containing both today’s state-of-the-art neurosurgery and insight into how neurosurgery is changing. You will find some courses that look familiar and some that are completely new. Some formats that were once didactic and lecture-driven have been transformed into interactive and hands-on.
