- Cardiology & Heart Surgery - ArticleDr. Lauren Osborne: Research Uncovers a Potential Biomarker for Postpartum Depression Risk
Lauren Osborne, M.D., a reproductive psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine and vice chair for clinical research for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, discusses her research into the biological basis of postpartum depression. In a recent study, Dr. Osborne and her team were the first to analyze the entire metabolic pathway of progesterone, measuring both positive and negative allosteric modulators throughout pregnancy, and ultimately identifying a potential biomarker to predict risk. They are continuing to study and build upon these findings, with the goal of enabling better prediction and treatment options to address, or even prevent, postpartum depression.

- Ophthalmology - ArticleDr. Tomoaki Kato: Pioneering the First Adult Domino Split-Liver Transplant in the U.S.
Tomoaki Kato, M.D., chief of the Division of Abdominal Organ Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, discusses a groundbreaking liver transplant that provided life-saving organs to three patients. Starting with an altruistic living donor, an initial graft was donated to an adult recipient with maple syrup urine disease, whose liver was otherwise viable for donation. That patient’s liver was then carefully split in order to be transplanted into two other adult recipients. With over 30 multidisciplinary specialists involved, including 12 surgeons in 4 operating rooms running simultaneously, Dr. Kato highlights how NewYork-Presbyterian’s integrated transplant program is uniquely positioned to advance the field of living donor and multiorgan transplantation, in order to expand organ availability.

- Cardiology & Heart Surgery - ArticleDr. Brian Gill: New Trial Device Opens Blood-Brain Barrier to Treat Glioblastoma
Brian Gill, M.D., a neurosurgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, talks about a new clinical trial evaluating a device that can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to more effectively treat glioblastoma. Dr. Gill explains how this new sonication device uses focused ultrasound to temporarily disrupt the BBB in order to administer chemotherapy directly into the tumor bed. The trial is building on promising results from phase 1 and phase 2 trials, which demonstrated safety and efficacy, and the potential to enhance quality of life for patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Dr. Tongalp Tezel, M.D., director of vitreoretinal services at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, discusses current research on novel treatment alternatives to the current standard of care for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Active clinical trials include gene therapy, which uses a surgically implanted adeno-associated virus to enable production of anti-VEGF agents in the eye, and stem cell transplantation to replenish retinal pigment epithelial cells. Early results from these trials are promising, with the potential to slow disease progression and restore vision loss.
