media:description>Marsha Meyer has a history of sharing her voice with others as a vocal teacher. When she wasn’t leading her show choir to a state victory, she volunteered to teach children songs at her church.
But one day in 1994, things went dark. She woke up feeling unable to function. Soon after, she was diagnosed with depression.
“I couldn’t do anything, and it felt like the world was so dark,” she said. “My doctor had me try every combination of antidepressants and treatments available to find something that worked, even medication from Canada, but nothing was really helping.”
After many years, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is working. It’s a nonsurgical depression treatment for adults who haven’t found success with medication. In a TMS session, patients are treated with magnetic pulses to stimulate nerves in the left prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that controls mood. Activating these nerves helps other cells function and increases serotonin production, improving a patient’s overall mood.
“Treatments used to last much longer, but now sessions take 20 minutes or less,” said psychiatrist Muaid Ithman, MD, the medical director of interventional psychiatry. “Most of our patients opt for the express TMS, which only lasts for three minutes, and the side effects are minimal.”
“I just felt a tapping during the treatments that I could only imagine being a woodpecker on my head,” Marsha said. “At most, I got a mild headache the first few treatments until my body got used to it. Plus, you’re in and out so fast and feel so much better after.”
Meyer enjoyed feeling like herself again. She said TMS has made a huge difference in her life.
“That doesn't mean I don't have my bad days, I mean, I'm human, but I enjoy life. I look forward to the next day. I don't have to wonder, ‘Will I be able to endure the depression that I was in?’ I don't have it. It's gone.”
“We’re trying to find out if maintenance TMS can help patients stay free of symptoms for a year,” Ithman said. “This could help patients stay off medication permanently.”
If your depression has not improved with medication or other treatments, ask your doctor if TMS may be right for you.
TMS is not for everybody, but about one third of patients see a significant reduction in their symptoms. Another third are able to achieve remission, which means all depressive symptoms go away.

media:description>Brewing Beer is required for an engineering course at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
“I have four teams of five students that brew beers,” said Ray Ehrhard, senior lecturer of energy, environmental & chemical engineering.
The “Introduction to Zymurgy” course allows students to learn principles of chemistry while brewing their own ales and stouts. Zymurgy is the study of fermentation in brewing or distilling The course is designed for seniors in the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering.
“The fundamentals behind brewing beer are chemical and environmental engineering processes,” said Vijay Ramani, PhD, professor. “In chemical engineering you do things like extraction and concepts like heat transfer.”
While the brewing process is scientific, students have creative freedom with the type of beer they brew and the flavors they include in their recipes. The students also tour breweries and learn about being entrepreneurs.

media:description>A heart attack patient at Mercy Hospital South St. Louis was saved after he was clinically dead and underwent an astounding 57 minutes of chest compressions in the ER (standard is 30 to 45 minutes) following a massive “widow-maker” heart attack.
"Pretty much after 30 or 35 minutes, when we tried everything and nothing's working, we would have called the code and the patient would not have survived. But Dr. Openlander was not going to do that and neither was the team," said Michael Goldmeier, MD, Interventional Cardiologist.
Drew Bram survived after an innovative approach by the Mercy South health care team.
"I appreciate so much the doctors, the nurses, the whole staff at the hospital, because of the fact that they did not give up on me," said Bram.
Watch the HEC Media video as Bram is reunited with his care team from the ER to the cardiac cath lab and inpatient hospital unit. Workers typically don’t get the chance to see patients they help save after they’ve been discharged.

media:description>A Saint Louis University researcher advocates for the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Right now the focus of research in Alzheimer’s disease is to diagnose people as early as possible,” said George T. Grossberg, M.D., the Inaugural Henry & Amelia Nasrallah Endowed Professor and Director of Geriatric Psychiatry at Saint Louis University.
A policy change by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is making a difference by expanding coverage of brain amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
“This is the first time the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said that we are going to financially cover amyloid PET scan for the very early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease in cases where patients are considering, and being considered for, eligibility for the new monoclonal antibodies, like lecanemab (Leqembi).”

media:description>Nancy Dixon’s father died from pancreatic cancer two years after his diagnosis. Dixon was age16 when he died.
“Pancreatic cancer is one that you don't find out about it until it's too late,” she said.
Dixon is trying to do whatever she can to protect her daughter from the tragedy she had experienced. So, Dixon had her blood drawn for an early cancer detection blood test, to include many types of cancer in one blood test. She's confident the new GRAIL blood test, pioneered by Galleri, will help her. At the very least, it will give her peace of mind. Mercy is now proudly offering the multi-cancer, early detection blood test that detects more than 50 types of cancers in clinical trials. The test demonstrated the ability to detect a shared signal from those cancers. #cancer #pancreaticcancer #tumor #pancreas #bloodtest #cancerawareness #cancerbloodtest @AmericanCancerSociety/media:description>

media:description>It only takes a few chords to capture Ayla Campbell’s attention. She arrived 16 weeks early, weighing less than two pounds. While staying in MU Health Care’s neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, Ayla received her first visit from a music therapist Emily Pivovarnik.
“Her heart rate would just go down, and her oxygen was going up,” said Angel Campbell, Ayla’s mom. “If someone had told me that this could happen just from singing, I wouldn't have believed it.”
Pivovarnik is a trained music therapist who helps babies eat better, regulate their stress levels and adjust to stimulation.
Pivovarnik is part of a team starting a research project to look at the long-term effects of a specific music therapy intervention called multimodal neurological enhancement, or MNE. This therapy combines music, gentle touch and rocking to help a baby’s brain develop.
About 135 babies will be involved in the research project. After leaving the hospital, they’ll receive neurodevelopment testing #musictherapy #nicu/media:description>

Liberty Vittert, PhD, Professor of the Practice of Data Science at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, explains how online dating app users employ AI to strike up conversations and flirt with matches. But Vittert says AI is no match for humans as bots don’t have human emotions.

media:description>Pregnant women's high-fat & sugar diets contribute to the obesity epidemic. Dr. Kelle Moley with Washington University School of Medicine believed a woman’s obesity can predispose her children and grandchildren to metabolic problems and obesity-related health conditions. So Moley set out to prove that a mother’s high-fat, high-sugar diet affects future generations, contributing to the obesity epidemic. The research focused on three generations of mice, and Moley says the findings are concerning. #obesity #obesityepidemic #WashingtonUniversity #pregancy #obese #womenshealth/media:description>

media:description>Jamie Ottinger was a registered veterinary technician for about five years before she pursued change.
“I was at a point where I wanted to know what was next,” said Ottinger.
Ottinger isn’t alone. According to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, many vet techs leave practice after about five years.
“There’s not really a way to move up. And therefore, there’s a very high turnover rate in the profession of veterinary technology. Right now, the average is five years,” said Cindy E. Cravens, DVM, Community Practice-Veterinary Health Center at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine.
Ottinger discovered an opportunity at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine that would soon advance her career. The College of Veterinary Medicine launched the Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology (BSVT) program. The BSVT program is an online bachelor’s completion degree for veterinary technicians anywhere who have an associate degree.

media:description>In recent years, obesity rates in women have surged ahead of men, according to new government health statistics. Dr. Kelle Moley with Washington University School of Medicine believed a woman’s obesity can predispose her children and grandchildren to metabolic problems and obesity-related health conditions. So Moley set out to prove that a mother’s high-fat, high-sugar diet affects future generations, contributing to the obesity epidemic. The research focused on three generations of mice, and Moley says the findings are concerning. #obesity #obesityepidemic #WashingtonUniversity #pregancy #obese #womenshealth/media:description>

media:description>Weilun Li never imagined what he’d be doing as a third-year PhD student in electrical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
“It’s like a Marvel movie,” said Li. “To have a superhero."
It’s not Spiderman, Antman or The Wasp - because those characters are for the comics. Rather, Li is working on very real cyborg locusts!
“It’s actually more simple and more realistic than I thought."
That’s because locusts seem to have superpowers with their remarkable sensing capabilities, making locusts an engineering marvel. They possess superior neural responses to follow a specific odor, such as the bomb-sniffing locusts engineered at Washington University.
The National Science Foundation awarded the research group $4.3 million to help them develop the cyborg locusts and study odor-guided navigation.
“The goal for the application of the electronic nose is to noninvasively sense chemicals for different applications: biomedicine, Homeland Security, environmental monitoring.

1:: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps a severely depressed Missouri woman find happiness
01.01.1970 01:00:00 31.05.2024 22:20:51 Marsha Meyer has a history of sharing her voice with others as a vocal teacher. When she wasn’t leading her show choir to a state victory, she volunteered to teach children songs at her church.
But one day in 1994, things went dark. She woke up feeling unable to function. Soon after, she was diagnosed with depression.
“I couldn’t do anything, and it felt like the world was so dark,” she said. “My doctor had me try every combination of antidepressants and treatments available to find something that worked, even medication from Canada, but nothing was really helping.”
After many years, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is working. It’s a nonsurgical depression treatment for adults who haven’t found success with medication. In a TMS session, patients are treated with magnetic pulses to stimulate nerves in the left prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that controls mood. Activating these nerves helps other cells function and increases serotonin production, improving a patient’s overall mood.
“Treatments used to last much longer, but now sessions take 20 minutes or less,” said psychiatrist Muaid Ithman, MD, the medical director of interventional psychiatry. “Most of our patients opt for the express TMS, which only lasts for three minutes, and the side effects are minimal.”
“I just felt a tapping during the treatments that I could only imagine being a woodpecker on my head,” Marsha said. “At most, I got a mild headache the first few treatments until my body got used to it. Plus, you’re in and out so fast and feel so much better after.”
Meyer enjoyed feeling like herself again. She said TMS has made a huge difference in her life.
“That doesn't mean I don't have my bad days, I mean, I'm human, but I enjoy life. I look forward to the next day. I don't have to wonder, ‘Will I be able to endure the depression that I was in?’ I don't have it. It's gone.”
“We’re trying to find out if maintenance TMS can help patients stay free of symptoms for a year,” Ithman said. “This could help patients stay off medication permanently.”
If your depression has not improved with medication or other treatments, ask your doctor if TMS may be right for you.
TMS is not for everybody, but about one third of patients see a significant reduction in their symptoms. Another third are able to achieve remission, which means all depressive symptoms go away.

2:: Engineering students spend a semester brewing beer before graduation, and it's not easy work!
01.01.1970 01:00:00 26.05.2024 14:00:20 Brewing Beer is required for an engineering course at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
“I have four teams of five students that brew beers,” said Ray Ehrhard, senior lecturer of energy, environmental & chemical engineering.
The “Introduction to Zymurgy” course allows students to learn principles of chemistry while brewing their own ales and stouts. Zymurgy is the study of fermentation in brewing or distilling The course is designed for seniors in the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering.
“The fundamentals behind brewing beer are chemical and environmental engineering processes,” said Vijay Ramani, PhD, professor. “In chemical engineering you do things like extraction and concepts like heat transfer.”
While the brewing process is scientific, students have creative freedom with the type of beer they brew and the flavors they include in their recipes. The students also tour breweries and learn about being entrepreneurs.

3:: A clinically dead heart attack patient is saved by a remarkable and innovative heath care team
01.01.1970 01:00:00 24.05.2024 17:00:01 A heart attack patient at Mercy Hospital South St. Louis was saved after he was clinically dead and underwent an astounding 57 minutes of chest compressions in the ER (standard is 30 to 45 minutes) following a massive “widow-maker” heart attack.
"Pretty much after 30 or 35 minutes, when we tried everything and nothing's working, we would have called the code and the patient would not have survived. But Dr. Openlander was not going to do that and neither was the team," said Michael Goldmeier, MD, Interventional Cardiologist.
Drew Bram survived after an innovative approach by the Mercy South health care team.
"I appreciate so much the doctors, the nurses, the whole staff at the hospital, because of the fact that they did not give up on me," said Bram.
Watch the HEC Media video as Bram is reunited with his care team from the ER to the cardiac cath lab and inpatient hospital unit. Workers typically don’t get the chance to see patients they help save after they’ve been discharged.

4:: The movement favoring early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease is gaining momentum
01.01.1970 01:00:00 12.05.2024 14:15:00 A Saint Louis University researcher advocates for the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Right now the focus of research in Alzheimer’s disease is to diagnose people as early as possible,” said George T. Grossberg, M.D., the Inaugural Henry & Amelia Nasrallah Endowed Professor and Director of Geriatric Psychiatry at Saint Louis University.
A policy change by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is making a difference by expanding coverage of brain amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
“This is the first time the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said that we are going to financially cover amyloid PET scan for the very early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease in cases where patients are considering, and being considered for, eligibility for the new monoclonal antibodies, like lecanemab (Leqembi).”

5:: Finding cancer earlier with a single blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer
01.01.1970 01:00:00 09.05.2024 15:15:04 Nancy Dixon’s father died from pancreatic cancer two years after his diagnosis. Dixon was age16 when he died.
“Pancreatic cancer is one that you don't find out about it until it's too late,” she said.
Dixon is trying to do whatever she can to protect her daughter from the tragedy she had experienced. So, Dixon had her blood drawn for an early cancer detection blood test, to include many types of cancer in one blood test. She's confident the new GRAIL blood test, pioneered by Galleri, will help her. At the very least, it will give her peace of mind. Mercy is now proudly offering the multi-cancer, early detection blood test that detects more than 50 types of cancers in clinical trials. The test demonstrated the ability to detect a shared signal from those cancers. #cancer #pancreaticcancer #tumor #pancreas #bloodtest #cancerawareness #cancerbloodtest @AmericanCancerSociety

7:: The long-term effects of music therapy for premature babies. Could it help brain development?
01.01.1970 01:00:00 07.05.2024 15:15:03 It only takes a few chords to capture Ayla Campbell’s attention. She arrived 16 weeks early, weighing less than two pounds. While staying in MU Health Care’s neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, Ayla received her first visit from a music therapist Emily Pivovarnik.
“Her heart rate would just go down, and her oxygen was going up,” said Angel Campbell, Ayla’s mom. “If someone had told me that this could happen just from singing, I wouldn't have believed it.”
Pivovarnik is a trained music therapist who helps babies eat better, regulate their stress levels and adjust to stimulation.
Pivovarnik is part of a team starting a research project to look at the long-term effects of a specific music therapy intervention called multimodal neurological enhancement, or MNE. This therapy combines music, gentle touch and rocking to help a baby’s brain develop.
About 135 babies will be involved in the research project. After leaving the hospital, they’ll receive neurodevelopment testing #musictherapy #nicu
8:: Are You Flirting With a Bot? Using AI as a Matchmaker is Trending With Online Dating
01.01.1970 01:00:00 05.05.2024 14:15:03 Dating apps make no secret of their use of artificial intelligence (AI) to help users find their perfect match. Liberty Vittert, PhD, Professor of the Practice of Data Science at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, explains how online dating app users employ AI to strike up conversations and flirt with matches. But Vittert says AI is no match for humans as bots don’t have human emotions.

11:: Improving veterinary care through MU's online Bachelor of Science program for vet techs
01.01.1970 01:00:00 28.04.2024 14:15:01 Jamie Ottinger was a registered veterinary technician for about five years before she pursued change.
“I was at a point where I wanted to know what was next,” said Ottinger.
Ottinger isn’t alone. According to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, many vet techs leave practice after about five years.
“There’s not really a way to move up. And therefore, there’s a very high turnover rate in the profession of veterinary technology. Right now, the average is five years,” said Cindy E. Cravens, DVM, Community Practice-Veterinary Health Center at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine.
Ottinger discovered an opportunity at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine that would soon advance her career. The College of Veterinary Medicine launched the Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology (BSVT) program. The BSVT program is an online bachelor’s completion degree for veterinary technicians anywhere who have an associate degree.

17:: Activating specific brain cells in mice increases life span with a healthier, younger appearance
01.01.1970 01:00:00 14.04.2024 14:15:00 The multibillion dollar anti-aging market includes products, services and technologies. A lot of this involves skin care. But beneath the surface, relating to the dorsomedial hypothalamus, a structure deep in the brain, there’s been a big breakthrough at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
“This is actually the first demonstration that manipulating specific neurons, delays aging and expands lifespan in mice,” said Shin-ichiro Imai, MD, PhD, the Theodore and Bertha Bryan Distinguished Professor in Environmental Medicine and a professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
With mice, the lifespan increased when specific brain cells are activated. In the study, the look of aging is undeniable when comparing the mice.

18:: Clinical trial for breast cancer patients focused on treatment plans with less chemotoxicity
01.01.1970 01:00:00 04.04.2024 19:00:16 “I was ready for the fight. I knew I was going to beat it. It was just a matter of time, and I was ready to start treatments that day,” said Amy Wells.
In October of 2022, Wells was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. She went to Ellis Fischel Cancer Center in Columbia. Her team of doctors, including Christos Papageorgiou, MD, worked with Wells to create a treatment plan. That plan included a clinical trial that provided Amy a chance to get rid of her cancer while reducing the harmful side effects of chemotherapy. It is called the de-escalation study, a personalized treatment plan focused on
less chemotoxicity.
“It means taking away both number of cycles that decrease the duration of chemotherapy and also the number of agents,” explained Papageorgiou. “So instead of six cycles, we would offer four, and instead of four agents, we would offer three.”

19:: New Diagnostic Tool for Respiratory Disease Help Patients Breathe Easier
01.01.1970 01:00:00 31.03.2024 14:00:27 Doctors and researchers at the University of Missouri and MU Health Care have introduced a groundbreaking new tool to help people diagnosed with respiratory conditions breathe a little easier.
By using the FDA-approved hyperpolarized xenon gas as an inhaled contrast for MRI scans, doctors can accurately measure lung ventilation, or function, in high detail. The gas is now produced at MU Health Care and used in a highly advanced MRI suite.
This new diagnostic tool will help people with respiratory conditions —including asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis and more — diagnose and treat their illnesses earlier.
Patients inhale the non-reactive xenon gas and hold their breath for the 10-to-15-second scan. The images show how a breath of air is drawn into the lungs, and gives doctors a better understanding of lung function, leading to faster and better treatments.
MU Health Care is the second health system in the United States to use the gas, called XENOVIEW, in clinical patient scans.

20:: WashU Scientists Plan for Trip South of St. Louis to View the Total Solar Eclipse at Public Event
01.01.1970 01:00:00 28.03.2024 22:30:03 Washington University faculty from the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences and from both the Departments of Physics and Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences will be hosting a free, open to the public event at Bollinger Mill State Historic Site: https://mostateparks.com/event/103661/solar-eclipse-2024
The countdown is on to last total solar eclipse in the United States for over 20 years, in August of 2044.
The day the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow and blocking out the Sun is Monday April 8th around 2pm. And totality for people in the St. Louis area is just a short drive away!
The total solar eclipse of 2024 will be bigger than the one in 2017. The path is wider and totality will last longer. In some Missouri cities, totality will last more than four minutes. That’s because the Moon will be closer to the Earth than it was in the 2017 solar eclipse.
This path does not include the St. Louis area, but the daytime darkness is very close by!

24:: Driverless Rear Trucks in Slow-Moving Work Zones are Tested as Work Zone Crashes are Rising
01.01.1970 01:00:00 07.12.2023 19:15:01 As part of an effort to keep MoDOT workers safe from work zone crashes, MoDOT is retrofitting two of its vehicles with driverless technology for a pilot program. The Missouri Department of Transportation says if the pilot's successful, MoDOT could remove drivers from the rear trucks of slow moving work zones. The plan is to test driverless MoDOT vehicles in the Kansas City area in 2019. Driverless technology is added to two Truck Mounted Attenuators, or TMAs, which are considered crash cushions. They're designed to absorb the impact when hit. The vehicle would be in the rear of a striping or sweeping work zone convoy. A driver would still be in the vehicle cab during testing with the ability to immediately take over control of the truck. #driverless #dot #autonomousvehicles

26:: Maintaining Mental Health During the Holiday Season
01.01.1970 01:00:00 03.12.2023 15:00:52 According to the American Psychological Association, 38% of people surveyed said their stress increased during the holiday season, which can lead to physical illness, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. The reasons given include lack of time, financial pressure, gift-giving, and family gatherings.
So, while holiday cheer fills the air - all the deadlines, financial stress, holiday travel, fatigue, holiday shopping, holiday pressure, family gatherings, high expectations, loneliness, the loss of loved ones, etc. - that cheer dims. The National Alliance on Mental Illness found that 64% of people living with mental illness reported that their conditions worsened around the holidays.
Molly Dwyer-Simonsen is the regional director of Mercy's Outpatient Behavioral Health. She says anyone may suffer from holiday stress and holiday blues. She said with planning, holiday stress and depression can be managed.
Help is available through Mercy Behavioral Health Resources, 314-251-0555.

27:: Could 2023 be the hottest year on record? The outlook for climate tipping points and catastrophes
01.01.1970 01:00:00 29.11.2023 23:00:34 Earth has this year experienced its hottest October, September, August and July on record. This past October was the hottest ever on record globally. And some experts warn that we are racing towards Earth's catastrophic tipping points, with one prediction by 2028.
Michael Wysession, PhD, professor of geophysics in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, is closely monitoring the approach to Earth possibly reaching climate tipping points by 2028 and the catastrophes that he said can happen, unless measures are taken.

28:: Cyber Monday is a peak time for blue light exposure from devices. What does that mean for your skin?
01.01.1970 01:00:00 26.11.2023 15:00:19 Cyber Monday is a peak time for blue light exposure from your devices! Siteman Cancer Center’s dermatologist Basia M. Michalski, MD, says there are ongoing studies about skin damage from blue light. Michalski is an assistant professor of dermatology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She’s a micrographic surgeon and dermatologic oncologist at Siteman Cancer Center, as well as cosmetic dermatologist who can advise patients about blue light protection.
While Cyber Monday shopping, is blue light protection something you or your Secret Santa should add to the cart?
“There are new sunscreens that could protect from blue light and so maybe patients should look to invest in some of those,” Michalski said.
Michalski says there’s a lot to learn about blue light exposure from our devices, especially with the way people are glued to computers and phones. Cyber Monday is a peak time, so maybe it’s time to give it some thought!

31:: Thanksgiving Day troubles, mishaps and illnesses: the top reasons for Thanksgiving Day medical help
01.01.1970 01:00:00 19.11.2023 14:34:34 While everyone has their own Thanksgiving Day traditions, hopefully a trip to the emergency room isn't one of them.
"The holidays definitely bring in more patients into emergency rooms and urgent cares," said Jerry Power, FNP, Advance Practice Lead, Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care.
Thanksgiving Day can be one of the busiest days for emergency rooms. As a Mercy nurse practitioner, Power said not all situations require going to the emergency room when urgent cares are open and ready to handle accidents and other urgent medical needs that can happen on Thanksgiving when families gather to cook turkey, eat, drink and play.
Mercy-GoHealth is growing in the St. Louis metro area, with 22 urgent cares now established. The 22nd location became the first Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care to open in the city of St. Louis.

32:: Rare parasitic bumble bee sighting and what that could mean when facing climate change
01.01.1970 01:00:00 17.11.2023 16:00:17 Ned Siegel of Belleville, Illinois observes the bee activity in the garden he created, that purposefully has a variety of mostly native plants and flowers. They attract a variety of bees. He documents the arrival of the little visitors by taking their pictures!
Siegel uploads the photos to a research-based program called the Shutterbee Citizen Science Program. Shutterbee uses the iNaturalist app to identify bees in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Then one morning in late July, Siegel photographed one bumble bee creating a loud buzz among the experts.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom! All experts saying, ‘Wait a minute. This is a rare bee!”
Webster University Biology Professor Nicole Miller-Struttmann, co-creator of Shutterbee, said Siegel photographed a rare parasitic bumble bee. It’s the Lemon Cuckoo bumble bee.
“Which is a rare bee found in Missouri,” said Miller-Struttman, co-creator of Shutterbee. “And it hasn't been found in the St. Louis metropolitan area since the 1800s, 1854.”

34:: 15-year old soccer player's ACL repair journey for faster recovery
01.01.1970 01:00:00 15.11.2023 16:00:02 Alex Silies became the first surgery patient to hold two milestone patient titles at the age of 15. He’s the very first surgery patient at The Mercy Center for Performance Medicine & Specialty Care. And he became the first Mercy patient in the St. Louis region to receive a new type of ACL implant to speed recovery, compared to other procedures. Silies was playing soccer for his club team in April when an injury sidelined him. After a trip to urgent care, he followed up with an orthopedic doctor and learned he would need surgery. Mercy Clinic Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. David Irvine, chief of the division of orthopedic surgery at Mercy Hospital St. Louis, offered Alex and the Silies family a new ACL procedure to consider, and the surgery was performed. It's the BEAR, which stands for Bridge Enhanced ACL Restoration. The procedure uses a sponge-like material containing the patient’s own blood to fill the gap in the torn ACL. #BEAR implant #ACL #aclrecovery #MercyHealth @Mercyhealth

36:: St. Louis startup Omniose is advancing vaccine for deadly infection that affects newborns
01.01.1970 01:00:00 10.11.2023 21:00:07 Omniose, a St. Louis startup at BioSTL, receives $3 million dollars in federal funding to advance a vaccine for a potentially deadly infection. Group B Streptococcus (GBS), or group B strep, is an invasive bacterial infection that’s on the radar of OB-GYNs and pediatricians when pregnant women are close to giving birth.
“GBS is a leading cause of neonatal disease,” said Christian Harding, PhD, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Omniose.
GBS is linked to nearly 150,000 infant deaths worldwide each year. Pregnant women can pass the bacteria to their babies during delivery, and even before. Group B strep also causes an estimated 46,000 stillbirths worldwide each year. Omniose's research and development for a maternal vaccine targeting group B strep is advancing with the three-year, $3 million federal contract for the research and development of a vaccine for group B strep.
Group B strep is also a leading cause of invasive infection in older adults, ages 65 and older.

38:: Friday night lights shine on injured player's journey to play again after injury
01.01.1970 01:00:00 02.11.2023 19:04:50 For Jake Pickens, playing his senior year of football for the Boonville Pirates would be a dream come true.
When the junior tore his anterior cruciate ligament and damaged both menisci in his right knee near the end of the 2022 season, he wasn’t sure he would make it back on the field in time for his senior year.
“‘When I heard my ACL was torn, it bummed me out,” Pickens said.
Pickens’ injury was diagnosed at MU Health Care’s Sports Medicine Injury Clinic. Knowing he needed surgery, if Pickens wanted to play high school football again, the player and his family decided to trust Clayton Nuelle, MD, at the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute. Nuelle is an expert in sports medicine reconstructive surgery and is also a team doctor for the Mizzou football team.
Nuelle and Mizzou Therapy Services in Boonville would do everything they could to help Pickens back on the field for his senior year.

39:: Taking the Pain Away: Advancements in Orthopedic Surgical Techniques Help Thumb Arthritis
01.01.1970 01:00:00 27.07.2023 19:00:12 Pain when buttoning a shirt, using a doorknob or twisting the cap of a bottle can all be signs of thumb arthritis.
Daniel London, MD, a hand and wrist surgeon at MU Health Care’s Missouri Orthopaedic Institute, explained surgery techniques and recovery have greatly improved over the past decade alone. So London is using the latest technique when nonsurgical options don't ease the pain.
For thumb arthritis, he removes the trapezium, a small bone less than an inch long that connects the thumb to the wrist. He then takes a small strip of tendon and anchors the base of the first metacarpal (which leads to the thumb) to the base of the second metacarpal (which leads to the index finger). Finally, he attaches two thick sutures, which resemble dental floss, to the same bones. The sutures and tendon form a hammock under the thumb that prevents it from rubbing on any other bones or slipping back into the space where the trapezium once was.

40:: Arthritis is Not Just an Older People Problem! A Boy Wants People to Know About Juvenile Arthritis
01.01.1970 01:00:00 25.07.2023 19:00:04 Older people having arthritis is not surprising, but arthritis can affect children too, and when left untreated it can cause irreversible damage.
But young Jaxton Briceno is on top of it. Biweekly, the boy handles his own injections for treatment. Jaxton injects an immune-suppressant medication called Humira.
Jaxton said the shots are worth it, because they’ve helped him return to the soccer field two years after a scary diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or JIA.
Anjali Patwardhan, MD, MU Health Care’s pediatric rheumatologist said juvenile arthritis is often misdiagnosed, partially due to a shortage of doctors trained in this sub-specialty.
“Around nine states do not have pediatric rheumatologist,” she said.
The exact cause of juvenile arthritis is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors likely play a role. And Jaxton wants other kids with JIA to know they’re not alone.

41:: Box Turtles Getting "Hammered" on Roads Prompted New Study Supporting Conservation Efforts
01.01.1970 01:00:00 24.07.2023 20:45:00 The probable rate of box turtles killed by vehicles is the driving force behind a study that hopes to preserve box turtles.
"We don't know the mortality rates of box turtles on Missouri roads," said Stephen Blake, PhD, assistant professor of biology at Saint Louis University. "What we do know is that box turtles get hammered on roads."
Blake teamed up with Sharon Deem, DVM, PhD, on the Box Turtle Project study. Deem is the director of the St. Louis Zoo Institute for Conservation Medicine. They spent years studying box turtle movements.
"Eleven years we've been chasing little box turtles. During that time, we've looked here in Forest Park at the home range sizes where these animals are moving. As well as out at Tyson (Tyson Research Center), this contiguous, wonderful oak-hickory forest," said Deem.
Blake is the lead author and one of the principal investigators along with Deem of the recently published study discussed in the video story!

43:: A cosmetic laser treatment that fights signs of aging may also fight skin cancer!
01.01.1970 01:00:00 21.07.2023 15:00:47 A cosmetic laser treatment for anti-aging and skin resurfacing may prevent skin cancer too! The nonablative fractional laser treatment is offered for a few cosmetic concerns patients want to address. The laser is often used for facial rejuvenation as a skin resurfacing treatment.
“It's called the Fraxel Dual. So, the Fraxel Dual is the name of the laser and the ‘dual’ refers to the two wavelengths of the Fraxel," said Basia Marie Michalski, MD, FAAD, dermatologist at Siteman Cancer Center and Washington University School Medicine.
Michalski says the laser treatment may have added benefits.
“Already studied for treatment of precancers, so it does treat precancers,” she said. “The next step was a study out of Massachusetts General Hospital. It was published in 2023, so just a few months ago, by one of our laser experts in the country.”
The small study suggests the laser treatment could significantly prevent the development of common types of nonmelanoma skin cancer. But more studies are needed.
“I do tell patients about the study because I think it's interesting,” said Michalski. #skincancer #melanoma @SitemanCancerCenter @AmericanCancerSociety @ACSCAN #lasertreatment #lasertreatments

49:: Bull sharks have to move extra fast in freshwater & how livers of all sharks keep them from sinking!
01.01.1970 01:00:00 10.07.2023 01:36:19 Bull sharks are freshwater tolerant, but they have to move forward and faster in freshwater so they don't sink because they are more negatively buoyant in freshwater than saltwater.
Saint Louis University's physics professor Jean Potvin, PhD, performed calculations that prove how sharks will sink faster in low-density freshwater than saltwater. Potion explained sharks evolved having a low-density liver, which can be very large, helping them maintain necessary speeds. The research shows how swimming in freshwater is more difficult for sharks, requiring more energy. @bbcearth @NatGeo @noaaBroll @usnoaagov @noaafisheries @SeaWorld @seadiving @stanford #sharks #greatwhite #jaws #sharkweek #sharkattacks #bullshark #liver

A Saint Louis University researcher explains why the majority of shark species stay out of freshwater and how bull sharks manage freshwater.
One of the reasons why most sharks stay out of freshwater is because sharks are negatively buoyant; they sink.

51:: Minimally Invasive Approach to Mitral Valve Repair Sparing Open Heart Surgery
01.01.1970 01:00:00 07.07.2023 22:30:00 Tiredness, shortness of breath, and a rapid heartbeat can all be signs of a serious heart problem, but a new treatment is helping patients feel better while avoiding open heart surgery.
Kerry Fry's problem was mitral regurgitation, or MR, also known as a leaky valve. When the mitral valve doesn’t close completely, blood flows backward inside the heart. It’s estimated that 4 million people in the U.S. have significant MR. Symptoms include a shortness of breath, fatigue and heart palpitations. A diagnosis of MR needs to be addressed.
“It eventually increases the workload on the heart and leads to permanent damage to the heart muscle and heart failure,” said Chirag Bavishi, MD, MU Health Care Interventional Cardiologist.
To fix Kerry Fry's problem, Dr. Bavishi used a device called a MitraClip. Threading a catheter through a vein in Fry’s leg up to his heart, a small clip was then attached to the mitral valve, helping it close more completely.

54:: Study Reveals Concerning Personality Traits of People Living in Rural Areas Compared to Big Cities
01.01.1970 01:00:00 13.06.2023 18:00:15 After the hustle and bustle of city life, some people may dream of country living. But a team of researchers suspected psychological challenges of rural living. Washington University's Dr. Emily Willroth co-authored a study suggesting that people in rural areas face unique challenges that may shape their personalities and psychological well-being.
A study involving two nationwide surveys of more than 27,000 people showed mental health differences between people living in the city and country. For example, people who lived in more rural areas tended to score higher in levels of neuroticism, a personality trait that is marked by increased anxiety and depression. Willroth said that people in rural areas often lack access to mental health care services, quality health care, educational opportunities and other resources.
People who lived in rural areas tended to scored lowest in measures of conscientiousness - a trait of productivity, personal responsibility and organization.

55:: Climate and Wildflowers: Leavenworthia Study Sheds Light on Roles of Climate Change and Conservation
01.01.1970 01:00:00 11.06.2023 14:00:14 Colorful wildflowers are more than landscapes' spring and summer décor, they are the calm participants in the ecosystem. Flowers provide food and habitat for pollinators and birds. Flowering plants help make our landscapes more sustainable. They bloom and thrive when the climate is right, which is why climate change is a concern worth studying.
“It's important to understand the effects of climate change on flowering, both for the conservation of flowering plant species and also for the preservation of biodiversity,” said Matthew Austin, Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in St. Louis.
Recently, his lab focused on Leavenworthia flowers that blooms in early spring.
“Leavenworthia comprises eight species and half of those species, four out of eight, are imperiled or critically imperiled and one is listed on the U.S. Endangered Species Act."
Austin's lab assistant Kelsey Bartlett is the lead author of the Leavenworthia study.

57:: Geomorphology: Modeling Nature in a Changing Climate
01.01.1970 01:00:00 21.05.2023 14:00:41 Claire Masteller, assistant professor of Earth and planetary at Washington University in St. Louis is engaged in collaborative research that will help scientists distinguish between climate-driven change and the natural variability of river channels.
Masteller doesn’t need to go to a river during a major flood event for research, because she can create the force of floods through a flume in her laboratory. In HEC Media’s video story, Masteller sets the flow of water at 160 gallons per minute to 190 gallons of water per minute.
“You really care about when this stuff (the gravel) starts to move,” Masteller explained. “When the gravel starts to move, you're doing the work of erosion that's changing the landscape.”
With climate change, the size and the frequency of flood events change. The flume experiments are handy because scientists don't have to wait for climate change to happen. They can study erosion patterns of varying rivers by modeling rivers big and small.

58:: Researcher Finds Focal+ Driver Training Technology Reduces Crash Rates for Teenage Drivers with ADHD
01.01.1970 01:00:00 07.05.2023 14:00:15 Saint Louis University research published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that a computerized program enhanced by driving simulation training with feedback lowers the risk of car crashes for teenagers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Clinical psychologist Annie Garner, PhD, has spent years working with children who have ADHD.
“Children with ADHD become adolescents with ADHD who become drivers with ADHD,” said Garner. “Inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity affect drivers. Teens with ADHD are twice as likely as teens without ADHD to be involved in a motor vehicle crash.”
This prompted Garner to become co-investigator of this new study to help teenage drivers with ADHD.
As associate professor at Saint Louis University in the Department of Psychology, Garner helped develop technology called Enhanced Focuses Concentration and Attention Learning (FOCAL+), which is devised to reduce extended eye glances during distracting tasks while driving.

60:: Easing Back Into Springtime Running, Jogging and Sports With Advice for Avoiding Injuries
01.01.1970 01:00:00 25.04.2023 15:30:03 Many people in the Midwest are back to doing things outside with a little spring in their step, trying to restart exercise routines! But pushing your body too far, too fast can put you at risk for injury. The key to starting the Spring season on the right foot is by taking it slow.
“I would recommend kind of slowly getting back to things outside,” said Brady Fleshman, MD, MU Health Care Sports Medicine Physician.
Fleshman specializes in sports medicine and family medicine at University of Missouri Health Care. His first tip is to begin with an active warmup, like walking lunges.
Once you get on the trail, try to alternate running and walking. An idea known as interval training.
Fleshman also recommends that you pay attention to your stride length. Taking more steps per minute can actually reduce your risk of injury.

01.01.1970 01:00:00 23.04.2023 14:00:38 Hotels across the United States will have people coming and going all summer. Saint Louis University’s assistant professor of computer science Abby Stylianou, PhD, is asking travelers to take advantage of their hotel stays by doing something a little extra. Just take some photos of your room. Different angles, the bathroom included, and upload them to a free mobile app she created called TraffickCam.
Human traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online ads.
TraffickCam empowers travelers to anonymously photograph hotel rooms. Uploaded data is available to child sexual abuse and human trafficking analysts at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Analysts who access the portal can upload and compare their photos against images in the database. They use the photos to find victims and as evidence to prosecute perpetrators.

01.01.1970 01:00:00 11.04.2023 20:30:06 Biochemist Hongjie Guo, PhD, is always thinking about what she can do to make a difference in world of medicine. The St. Louis scientist is battling a range of diseases from the bench, through her expertise.
“My specialty is membrane protein which is probably the most difficult protein to produce,” she said.
Guo said membrane proteins account for up to 60% of drug targets for the treatment of various diseases. But membrane proteins are challenging for drug companies to produce.
Having worked for a startup company supported by BioGenerator, the investment arm of BioSTL, Gou’s experience gave her ideas of her own. So, Guo became an entrepreneur in 2020 as the founder of Tiger Biologics.
“We focus on the recombinant protein, or antibody production,” she said.
Tiger Biologics produces high-quality proteins and antibodies for pharmaceutical companies and institutions, contributing to the production and development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.

64:: Diagnostic Rapid Test for Detecting Diseases is 1,000 Times More Sensitive than Current Rapid Tests
01.01.1970 01:00:00 02.04.2023 14:30:04 Most everyone is familiar with the test strips detecting COVID-19, along with possible negative test results before testing positive. Srikanth Singamaneni, PhD, professor of mechanical engineering & materials science in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis said standard tests are not able to detect diseases with high sensitivity at the early stage of disease progression.
"So, we came up with a nanoparticle that is exceptionally bright compared to nanoparticles being used today in those tests," said Singamaneni.
His team is developing new technologies to substantially improve testing for a range of viral and bacterial infections, as well and other diseases.
Singamaneni developed a new point-of-care diagnostic test for clinicians that is 1,000 times more sensitive than conventional rapid tests.
The technology could test for a range of diseases, allowing for highly-accurate rapid testing that is affordable without the need to send samples to a lab.

01.01.1970 01:00:00 28.03.2023 21:45:01 Washington University’s gynecologic oncologist and surgeon Andrea Hagemann, MD, treats cancer patients at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. The fight against cancer is overall experiencing success, as cancer death rates have fallen 33% since 1991, 32 years ago.
“The cancer rates being down primarily reflect two things: decreased smoking. So, actually smoking cessation is very, very cancer preventive,” said Hagemann. “We also know that HPV vaccine, or the human papillomavirus vaccine uptake has also contributed to decreased cancer rates.”
Dr. Hagemann discusses HPV-related cancers, the benefits of the HPV vaccine and Hepatitis B vaccine for cancer prevention, as well as other reasons and advancements contributing to the decline off cancer deaths.

01.01.1970 01:00:00 19.03.2023 14:00:16 Joan E. Strassmann enjoys a quiet stroll through areas of Forest Park in St. Louis, looking and listening for birds. In 2020, during the pandemic, the Charles Rebstock Professor of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis wrote a book about birding.
“This is a book I've wanted to write for about 30 years. Slow Birding talks about five places I bird regularly in the St. Louis area,” Strassmann said.
The book, Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard, is for anyone interested in birding. The book may be particularly helpful for beginners.
“It just introduces 16 really common species of birds,” she said.
Strassmann emphasized that springtime is a wonderful time for interested birders to begin.
“The kind of amazing feast for birders is migration and spring migration. I think above all, we feel full of hope and new energy,” she said. “Late March and right through mid-May is just a fantastic time. And really early May is the best.”

01.01.1970 01:00:00 13.03.2023 21:00:04 Making the best use of farmland in between growing seasons is one way to step up to the challenge when facing a global food crisis. CoverCress, a St. Louis-based AgTech startup, has farmers covered with a new cover crop that’s converted from a particular weed called field pennycress.
When CoverCress grain is crushed, the oil produced is a lower carbon intensity feedstock for multiple uses, such as high-protein animal feed, renewable diesel fuel and sustainable aviation fuel.
The CoverCress crop has gone from the bench to the field, and the startup company’s success led to a big announcement in 2022.
“One of our longtime investors Monsanto, now Bayar, acquired 65% of the company. So, they bought out all of our venture capital investors and we remain partners today with Bunge and Chevron,” he explained. “We sit in this pretty cool spot. We are connected with three of the largest players in their respective industries.”
