Приєднався 4 лис 2010
The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has grown from a small private medical school founded in 1824 into one of the nation's top academic health science centers, with a 700-bed medical center (MUSC Health) and six colleges. As South Carolina's only comprehensive academic health center providing a full range of programs in the biomedical sciences, MUSC is engaged in activities statewide. Its campus is located on more than 80 acres in the city of Charleston, with an overall population of about 13,000 clinicians, faculty, staff and students. Nearly 3,000 students in six colleges (Dental Medicine, Graduate Studies, Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy) study for degrees at the baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, and other professional levels. The University also provides residency training for more than 500 graduate health professionals. The teaching staff is comprised of more than 1,500 full and part-time faculty.
Science Never Sleeps: Genetics & Cancer Research with Dr. Kevin Hughes
We inherit lots of things through our families. Sometimes they’re visible, like the color of our eyes or hair, and other things might not be so apparent, like how you react to caffeine or how athletic you are. These traits come from genes passed to us from our parents - we inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent, and they act as the blueprints for our bodies. The genes we inherit can also raise our risk for some kinds of cancer. All cancers are caused by mutations in our cells, and most of the time those mutations happen simply because of aging, or because of lifestyle choices like smoking. But sometimes - in about 5%-10% of cancers - mutations are handed down through families. If you have one of these inherited mutations, you can minimize your cancer risk by following established health care guidelines and taking a proactive approach to your health.
In this episode of Science Never Sleeps, we’re joined by Dr. Kevin Hughes, the Director of Cancer Genetics at the Hollings Cancer Center and the McKoy Rose, Jr., M.D. Endowed Chair in Surgical Oncology in the College of Medicine at MUSC. Dr Hughes is recognized nationally and internationally for his expertise in breast cancer, breast disease management, genetic testing and the identification and management of patients with hereditary breast cancer risk. His research focuses on developing tools that make cancer genetic testing simple, safe, and efficient.
Correction at the 11:40 minute mark: The statistic should be that 1-2 people out of every 100 will have a gene variant identified at the population level.
Clarification at the 12:08 and 26:00 minute marks: Once a participant is positively identified, they are offered a free genetic counseling appointment. They can then choose to follow up with the Hereditary Cancer Clinic or seek further care elsewhere as desired.

MUSC: The Flexner Report and Becoming a State Entity
Переглядів 13521 день тому
To say medical education looked a little different in the past would be an understatement. The 1910 Flexner Report was commissioned to establish standards and, in the process, nearly brought about the end of our medical school. Thankfully, our leaders were able to pivot and the people of Charleston rallied to support the school. This also marked our becoming a state institution.

What a beautiful little girl. I love it. She like what I hear that.
Very Very thankful sir 🙏
Hi.. How much they charge for lungs transplant. It's difficult for middle class people
God bless you hun! How is your little one doing today?
A very interesting story and l am so proud of the lung transplantation team. I am crying as l am watching this video because it's been 4 months on the waiting list for double lung transplantation. I am so happy to here about these testimonials ❤❤ watching from 🇿🇦🇿🇦. All the best to him
hi, I am living in Ethiopia my 5 years old son loss hearing both side of ear at the age of 3 he loss confutable as after loss hearing. Peals helping my son if you have a way
Have you worked with a doctor or hearing specialist close to you? Are you near Addis Ababa?
Her reaction was so beautiful! 🥹🥹
Is headache surgery safe because I suffer from them? Please leave your comments
She is adorable ☺️
On the wait list. I'm hoping and waiting for the call
My question is they use to use Cochlear cadaver, an actual real Cochlear cadaver for implants, why in the world would you use a massive size device instead of a real Cochlear cadaver that will work great and not require a person to stick a large device on their head and ear? What's going on here, I mean if it's tve onky option that's one thing, but it's not the only option.
It might work initially, but one of the major issues with transplanting organic material is rejection. If you put in a donor nerve or organ from a cadaver, the patient's immune system would be able to tell that the donor cells were foreign and the patient would have to be on immuno-supressing drugs for the rest of their life in order to stop their immune system from attacking and destroying it. On top of that, much of the time those drugs fail at stopping the body from rejecting the donor organ permanently. There's also the problem of supplying enough of the donor organs. The waitlist for donor organs is extremely long compared to just being able to manufacture an implant whenever one is needed.
I'm very proud of you Sonya and all your class mates. Please God keep keeping them

All of my physicians are at MUSC. I live in Beaufort SC and I travel over one hour for the excellent care I receive. My youngest daughter was born at the Children's Hospital in 1990. She weighed 1lb 12ozs and is now a beautiful 34 year old mother of 5!!! I cannot express my gratitude enough to every employee that has touched my life!!! Congratulations on 200 years of excellence and I look forward to your continued growth!!!

Her wonder at something so many of us take for granted. Lovely.
A pure delight!
When I first got hearing aids I wish it was a slow process turning up for me because I was startled when I got hearing aids entering middle school, and for me my reaction was like a child's hearing normal for the first time in over 9 years because I got diagnosed with hearing lose when I was two. I was the second eldest pediatric patients at my client and the elder pediatric patients are considered more adapted, but because I'm also autistic I was a lot less verbal at the time of going into middle school so I was nonverbal for days and had to take as I called back then "ear breaks" every hour multiple times sometimes because I wasn't used to hearing normal now my hearing breaks are maximum of 4-3 times a day but they are longer that also helps in combination with my ironically hyper sensory processing disorder due to my autism, and discovering full music for the first time helped too.
