NIH HEAL Myofascial Pain Workshop (Day 2)
It is estimated that 30 to 85 percent of patients with musculoskeletal pain are affected by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) — pain originating from muscles and/or associated soft tissues such as fascia. Interactions between fascia and muscles remain mostly unknown and there is a strong need to address the contributions of the myofascial tissues to chronic pain. This represents one of the last “ unturned stones ” of all the tissue types involved in musculoskeletal pain. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering are proud to join forc...

Director's Seminar: Unraveling the mechanisms of immunity to malaria
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Approximately 500 million cases of P. falciparum malaria occur annually among the world ’ s poorest populations, claiming the lives of nearly a million children each year in Africa alone. The development of a malaria vaccine is widely viewed as a key step toward malaria control and possibly eradication, yet current malaria vaccine candidates confer only partial, short-lived protection at best. Optimism that a highly effective malaria vaccine can be developed stems in part from the observation that humans can acquire immunity to malaria through repeated P. falciparum infections. However, the...

New Drugs, Old Problems: The Sulfonamide Revolution and Children ’ s Health Care Delivery in the United States, 1933-1949
Using pediatric patient records housed at the National Library of Medicine, Dr. Cynthia Connolly explore the transformation wrought by the sulfonamides in medical and nursing practice at Baltimore ’ s Sydenham Hospital. Published articles, oral histories, and physician memoirs reveal only part of the story of one of the twentieth century ’ s most pivotal scientific breakthroughs. Through patient records, which rarely survive intact, it is possible to appreciate the ways in which the new therapeutics demanded more intense bedside care, enhanced laboratory facilities, and new levels of cooperation. It also reveals how an...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Can Physical Activity Improve the Health of Wheelchair Users? (Day 1)
The 2010 census estimated that 3.6 million Americans use a wheeled mobility device, such as a manual wheelchair, motorized wheelchair, or scooter. This number is projected to be four times higher by 2020. Individuals who use wheeled mobility devices often experience poorer health outcomes compared to the general population. There are some distinct health challenges related to the physical effects of long-term wheelchair use, such as shoulder overuse injuries, skin breakdown, and urinary tract disorders. Wheelchair users may also encounter barriers to accessing preventive health care and getting sufficient physical activity...

The Peter Pan Syndrome: Oncohistones Stall Development in Pediatric Cancers
CCR Grand Rounds
Dr. Jabado ’ s research focuses on elucidating genetic signatures of pediatric astrocytomas and examining how they compare to adults. These are deadly brain tumors that originate in the brain and include glioblastomas (GBM, the highest grade of astrocytomas), which are one of the deadliest cancers in humans. Her group uncovered that pediatric high-grade astrocytomas (HGA) are molecularly and genetically distinct from adult tumors. They also identified a new molecular mechanism driving pediatric HGA, namely recurrent somatic driver mutations in the tail of histone 3 variants (H3.3 and H3.1). These mutatio...
