- The OIG has developed a Compliance Training initiative that complements the Department？？？s Health Care Fraud Summits and provides free, high-quality compliance training to providers, compliance professionals, and attorneys.
The Washington DC live program and corresponding webinar are the final stop on our six city presentation tour. The programs is designed to bring together representatives from OIG and other government agencies to educate communities about fraud risk areas uncovered by HEAT, and to share compliance best practices so that providers can strengthen their own compliance efforts and more effectively identify and avoid illegal schemes that may be targeting their communities

- Dynamic Intricacies of Viral Infections: A Proteomics Perspective
-
- - Ileana Cristea, Princeton University (2011/05/19)
- - Category : Proteomics
- NIH Proteomics Interest Group Seminar Series
Viruses have co-evolved with their hosts, developing remarkable mechanisms for subverting and hijacking cellular processes for their own benefit. The study of virus-host interactions has therefore emerged as a driving force in infectious disease research. Despite these efforts, the protein interactome remains in large part uncharted, and our knowledge of mechanisms controlling the outcome of an infection is limited. The development of new methodologies that can define temporal and spatial host-virus protein interactions is a necessity. Modern proteomics techniques are currently emerging as powerful tools, able of bringing a new perspective to the field of virology. This presentation will describe the integration of targeted proteomic approaches with genetic, molecular biology, and bioinformatics techniques for studying dynamic virus-host protein associations. Strategies for isolating protein complexes, quantifying infection-triggered changes in interactions, and assessing specificity of associations will be presented. Highlights will be shown from our recent studies on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, including the discovery of parallel processes occurring at distinct cellular sites during the assembly of infectious virions. Additionally, we have observed that certain viral proteins recruit host proteins that elaborate the epigenetic regulation of cell. Our finding that chromatin-remodeling complexes, such as histone deacetylases, are targeted by HCMV indicates a possible mean of controlling virus or host gene expression. Aspects from our studies on several deacetylases during viral infection will be presented. In addition to revealing their functional roles during infection, these studies provided insights into the regulation of these enzymes outside the context of infection. A combinatorial proteomics approach, incorporating CID, HCD and ETD peptide fragmentation using a nLC LTQ Orbitrap Velos-ETD, identified 17 in vivo phosphorylation sites on HDAC5. Functional phosphomutant screening and live cell imaging allowed the characterization of novel sites within functional domains, and identified a previously unrecognized regulatory point of its nuclear import.

- Eliminating Health Disparities through the Affordable Care Act and Beyond: A Health in All Policies Approach

- - Category : Health Disparities
- NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series
The National Institutes of Health is pleased to welcome the Assistant Secretary for Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Howard Koh, as the featured speaker for the NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series on April 28, 2011 in commemorating minority health month.
Dr. Koh oversees 14 core public health offices, including the Office of the Surgeon General and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, 10 Regional Health Offices across the nation, and 10 Presidential and Secretarial advisory committees. He also serves as senior public health advisor to the Secretary. The Office of Assistant Secretary for Health implements an array of interdisciplinary programs relating to disease prevention, health promotion, the reduction of health disparities, womens and minority health, adolescent health, HIV/AIDS and chronic infectious diseases, vaccine programs, fitness, sports and nutrition, bioethics, population affairs, blood supply, research integrity and human research protections. As the Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Koh is dedicated to the mission of creating better public health systems for prevention and care so that all people can reach their highest attainable standard of health.
On April 8, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unveiled the HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities (HHS Action Plan). The plan demonstrates the Departments commitment to continuously assessing the impact of its policies and programs focused on reducing racial and ethnic health disparities and achieving health equity. The HHS Action Plan builds on the strong foundation of the Affordable Care Act and is aligned with programs and initiatives such as Healthy People 2020, the First Ladys Lets Move! initiative and the Presidents National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
In his presentation entitled, Eliminating Health Disparities through the Affordable Care Act and Beyond: A Health in All Policies Approach, Dr. Koh will outline actions HHS agencies are taking, in partnership with other federal agencies and the community to realize the Departments vision of a nation free from disparities in health and health care for racial and ethnic minority populations.

- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- This lecture will describe conditions for which health disparities exist between whites and persons of color in the U.S.; examine the roles of patient-physician communication, racial concordance in the patient-physician relationship, patient trust, and clinician bias, in understanding healthcare disparities; and name intervention strategies to overcome racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare delivery and outcomes that are being tested in clinical trials. The implications of this body of research for clinical practice, education and training of health professionals, healthcare policy, and future scientific inquiry will be discussed.

- Activity Dependent and Independent Control of Synapse Number in the Brain
-
- - Bernardo Sabatini, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School (2011/05/13)
- - Category : Neuroscience
- Neuroscience Seminar Series
Dr. Sabatini？？？s lab studies the biochemical signaling within spines and boutons in order to understand the pathways that trigger the formation of new synapses and the regulation of existing ones. Dr. Sabatinis overall goal is to understand synaptic plasticity？？？the changes in the strength of nerve signal transmission across synapses that are crucial to learning and memory. The challenge in these studies is that much of the relevant biochemical signaling occurs in very small subcellular compartments such as dendritic spines and axonal boutons. His lab combines molecular biology, electrophysiology, and microscopy to overcome this obstacle. Principal among these is the use of 2-photon laser scanning microscopy, which is ideally suited for measuring fluorescent signals from individual boutons or spines located within brain slices or in vivo. Dr. Sabatini has pioneered the development of optical techniques for observing the interactions of dendritic spines during synaptic events. Using these techniques, his research group has uncovered many of the mechanisms that enable individual synapses to control the consequences of their stimulation.
