Kelly McKee from Medidata talks transforming the patient clinical trial experience

In the last few weeks, the mainstream media ran with stories about Ivermectin, most noticeably referring to it as "horse medicine" or "horse dewormer" while, for some reason, leaving out the fact that Ivermectin is a WHO essential medicine for HUMANS. At the same time, the mainstream media and social media ran with a specific story about Oklahoma hospitals having to turn away gunshot victims because of a surge of people overdosing on Ivermectin. The bombshell story turned out to be false, forcing magazines, like Rolling Stone, to issue a correction, but not before popular news outlets shared it widely on social media, without Big Tech's "disclaimer of shame" for spreading misinformation. Dr. Kory Responds.

Today we’ll be touching on a tough subject, Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord.   Essentially, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves. So, what does this mean? Symptoms range from numbness or weakness one your limbs, electric-shock sensations that occur with certain neck movements, tremors, lack of coordination, and can cause visions like partial, or complete loss of vision. Melanie Rice who herself is suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. She was diagnosed Sept 20 2019 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida. Since then she has uncovered an entire community, or more appropriately, a family of thousands of people struggling with this autoimmune disease. She has become an advocate for MS patients, and so we have brought her on to talk with us about her illness.   Related Links: http://www.wheelchairkamikaze.com/2015/03/national-ms-society-decision-makers.html

We sit down for an interview with Dr. John Boockvar, vice chair of neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, who started a first-in-human clinical research study involving a new surgical technique to treat glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) - the most aggressive form of brain cancer.   Dr. Boockvar was one of the neurosurgeons featured on the highly praised Netflix series, Lenox Hill. See link here: https://www.netflix.com/title/80201728   About the Procedure: After standard tumor resection, the patient's own scalp tissue is harvested, rotated and engrafted and used to line the resected tumor cavity. It is our hope that by doing tissue autograft, it will allow to bypass the blood brain barrier so chemotherapeutics and immune cells can better reach the tumor site, improving treatment for GBM patients. The study entitled, "Tissue Autograft to Bypass the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) in Human Glioblastoma Multiforme," is being led by John Boockvar, MD, the hospital's vice chair, neurosurgery and director of Lenox Hill's Brain Tumor Center. To be eligible for the study, participants must be 18 years of age or older and plan to undergo resection of known or suspected GBM.
