  • Women???s Health @ NIH presents National Cancer Institute???s Smokefree Women Project: Smoking Cessation Strategies for Women
    • - Erik M. Augustson, PhD, MPH, Tobacco Control Research Branch, National Cancer Institute (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Womens Health
    As part of an ongoing effort to reach and engage women who want to quit smoking, the National Cancer Institute???s Smokefree Women project was developed. The foundation of the project is http:\\women.smokefree.gov, a free online smoking cessation resource that offers a special focus on topics important to women. The website provides female smokers with the latest science on tobacco addiction, recommended approaches on how to quit, and a wealth of resources to help support both the immediate and long-term needs as users become, and remain, nonsmokers. The site features interactive tools as well as social networking through Facebook and Twitter. This presentation covers smoking cessation treatment with a focus on strategies that may be particularly helpful for women and how Smokefree Women can help you quit smoking today.

  • Changes in Cognitive Function Related to Cancer and Cancer Therapy (Oncology Nursing Lecture) (NIH-Only)
    • - Bender, Catherine.
      National Cancer Institute (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Dr. Bender received her B.S.N., in nursing from the University of Akron in Ohio. She received her M.N., with a specialty in oncology and her Ph.D., in nursing from the University of Pittsburgh, School of Nursing in Pennsylvania. For nearly 10 years, she served as the assistant professor for the oncology component of the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing masters program. She currently teaches a doctoral course on the theoretical foundations of research. She also teaches a doctoral- and masters-level course on research for evidence-based practice. Dr. Bender???s research interests include the neuropsychological sequellae of cancer and cancer treatment and the physiological mechanisms underlying these problems. More specifically, her research has focused on the description of changes in cognitive function and mood that occur in patients with cancer, particularly as a consequence of cancer treatment. In addition, she is conducting studies to test behavioral and pharmacological interventions to ameliorate cognitive impairment and prevent depression associated with cancer treatment. She is currently the coordinator of the Oncology Nursing Society Advanced Nursing Research Special Interest Group. She has been a member of the Scientific subgroup of the Research Advisory Panel for the Oncology Nursing Society and has chaired project teams for biotherapy and nausea and vomiting research initiatives. She was also selected to present the State of the Science Lecture at the 7th National Conference on Cancer Nursing Research, sponsored by the American Cancer Society and the Oncology Nursing Society.

    NCI???s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds is a weekly lecture series addressing current research in clinical and molecular oncology. Speakers are leading national and international researchers and clinicians proposed by members of the CCR Grand Rounds Planning Committee and others within the CCR community and approved by the CCR Office of the Director. Lectures occur every Tuesday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater in the Clinical Center building on the NIH campus September through July with exceptions around holidays and major cancer meetings. The lecture schedule is posted on various calendars of events, including at the following link: http://bethesdatrials.cancer.gov/health-care-professionals/grand-rounds.aspx.

  • Clock Genes and Clock Cells: A New View
    • - Joseph Takahashi, Ph.D., University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    The molecular mechanism of circadian clocks has been uncovered by the use of phenotype-driven (forward) genetic analysis in a number of model systems. In mammals, circadian oscillations are generated by a set of genes forming a transcriptional autoregulatory feedback loop: these include: Clock, Bmal1, Per1, Per2, Cry1, Cry2 and Casein kinase 1 epsilon. Another dozen candidate genes have been identified and play additional roles in the circadian gene network such as the feedback loop involving Rev-erba. Despite this remarkable progress, it is clear that a significant number of genes that regulate circadian rhythms in mammals remain to be discovered and identified. As part of a large-scale N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen using a wide range of nervous system and behavioral phenotypes, we have identified new circadian mutants in mice. These include new alleles of known circadian genes as well as novel circadian loci such, Fbxl3, an orphan member of the F-box protein family, which we have found to interact selectively with the CRY proteins to target them for degradation through the proteasome pathway.

    The discovery of ???clock genes??? also led to the realization that the capacity for circadian gene expression is widespread throughout the body. Using circadian gene reporter methods, one can demonstrate that most peripheral organs and tissues can express circadian oscillations in isolation, yet still receive and may require input from the dominant circadian pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in vivo. We have used tissue-specific, conditional gene expression methods to analyze the relative contributions of central and peripheral circadian oscillators to circadian organization. The cellular autonomy of circadian clocks has raised a number of questions concerning synchronization and coherence of rhythms at the cellular level as well as circadian organization at the systems level.

    The NIH Directors Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

  • CD8 T Cell Development is Regulated by PLZF+ T Cells
    • - Kristin Hogquist (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Immunology
    Dr. Hogquist has a longstanding interest in the field of T cell development. Work from her lab over the past decade has provided invaluable insights into the signaling pathways, ligand interactions and transcriptional events that mediate thymocyte positive and negative selection. More recently, Kristin???s work has focused on the role of the transcription factor KLF2 in thymocyte development and migration and on the function of Langerhans cells in skin immune responses. Kristin is an excellent speaker. Her seminar should not be missed!

    Nervous systems are complex networks of interconnected neural elements that engage in spontaneous or evoked dynamics. Recent advances in the quantitative analysis and modeling of complex networks have provided new insights into the architecture of brain, structural and functional connectivity its small-world topology, efficient information flow, low wiring cost, modularity, and hubs. This talk provides an overview of this emerging field, with an emphasis on how complex network approaches can reveal structure/function relationships in the human brain.

  • Scientific Management Review Board Meeting - May 2010 (Day 1)
    • - National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Scientific Management Review Board. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Scientific Management Review Board
    The Scientific Management Review Board was authorized by the NIH Reform Act of 2006 and signed into law by the President in January 2007. The NIH Reform Act provides certain organizational authorities to HHS and NIH officials regarding NIH institutes and centers and the Office of the Director. The purpose of the Scientific Management Review Board is to advise HHS and NIH officials on the use of those organizational authorities.

    This Working Group of the SMRB is convened to recommend to the full Board whether organizational change within NIH could further optimize research into substance use, abuse, and addiction and maximize human health and/or patient well being. In addressing this issue, the SUAA Working Group will consider the scientific opportunities, public health needs, and research technologies in substance use, abuse, and addiction, in addition to research in these areas under the existing NIH structure.
