Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Methods for Evaluating Natural Experiments in Obesity (Day 2)
Obesity is a major contributor to serious health conditions in children and adults. The prevalence of obesity in the United States and globally has grown rapidly in the last three decades; thus, there is a pressing need to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Obesity is commonly defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30. In 2014, more than one-third (37.7%) of U.S. adults (Flegal, 2016 ) and 17% of U.S. children and young adults under the age of 20 (Ogden, 2016 ) met this definition, accounting for about 55% of the total U.S. population. There are also persistent disparities among ...

Modeling Zika virus in mice: What have we learned so far?
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The recent spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) and its association with increased rates of Guillain Barre and other neurological disorders as well as congenital defects that include microcephaly has created an urgent need to develop animal models to examine the pathogenesis of the disease and explore the efficacy of potential therapeutics and vaccines. Recently developed infection models for ZIKV utilize mice defective in interferon responses. This talk will describe a new model of peripheral ZIKV infection using immunocompetent neonatal C57BL/6 mice and compare its clinical progression, vi...

Maurice B. Burg Lecture 2016: The Kidney and New Therapies for Diabetes
In the early 20th century Homer Smith demonstrated that glucose was freely filtered by the human kidney, no glucose was lost in the urine, and phlorizin completely blocked glucose reabsorption. Despite the fact that glycosuria is a hallmark of diabetes, a new class of drugs derived from phlorizin have been introduced to lower hyperglycemia in these patients by increasing glycosuria. Dr. Wright will review the kidney physiology and preclinical studies that led to this unexpected new treatment for diabetes.Air date: 10/17/2016 2:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Mellick’s Multimedia EduBlog: Treating Priapism in the ED, Video 1 of 2
Dr. Larry Mellick says emergency physicians have mental blocks when it comes to managing priapism. He helps dispel some of the performance anxiety associated with this condition by teaching how to mix up the phenylephrine used for intracavernosal blocks, which means this penile compartment syndrome doesn’t languish while EPs wait for the urologist. Read his blog post at http://bit.ly/Mellick, and then watch this video. (Source: Emergency Medicine News - Video)
