SUMMARY:Current and Future Trends in Oncology Care Delivery
DESCRIPTION:According to the American Cancer Society\, each year more than 1.7 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed. By 2020\, 18 million cancer survivors are expected in the United States alone. Emerging research and technologies are helping to rapidly change the pace of oncology discovery\, innovation and treatment. As a result\, high costs\, survivorship\, and a focus on patient-driven care are transforming how cancer care is delivered. \nIn this webinar\, Mara Bloom\, JD\, MS\, Executive Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center\, will present the cancer center as a case study for how we can use service line management to engage stakeholders and streamline healthcare delivery\, reduce costs\, improve patient experience and encourage continued innovation and growth. She will also discuss how a multidisciplinary care model leads to greater collaboration among physicians and researchers. Bloom also will highlight how the latest therapies\, technologies and care models\, including home hospital\, telemedicine and artificial intelligence will help shape the cancer center of the future.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Structural Modeling of Textile-Reinforced\, Tissue-Engineered Heart Valves
DESCRIPTION:Heart valve defects or diseases can be very serious\, often requiring valve replacement.  Traditional synthetic heart valves can calcify or wear over time and the surgeries required can carry high risk and be very invasive.  To address these drawbacks\, researchers are developing tissue-engineered heart valves which can be inserted orthoscopically.  These tissue-engineered heart valves have the potential to make compatible and effective replacements\, but they are currently not strong enough to survive the high pressures found on the aortic side of the heart.  To strengthen the valves\, the tissue is grown around a textile reinforcement: too little reinforcement and the valve tears\, too much and it does not function correctly.  This presentation\, by UMass Lowell Professor Scott Stapleton of mechanical engineering\, will summarize efforts to computationally model the hierarchical heart valve structure\, with the intent of designing and optimizing textile reinforcement to strengthen the valve while maintaining its proper function.

SUMMARY:In-Place Filter Testing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on program prepares participants to test and certify systems containing HEPA filtration and gas adsorption systems for nuclear and non-nuclear applications. \nParticipants learn the latest regulatory requirements for nuclear air cleaning\, develop an understanding of filtration theory\, and gain the experience they need to maintain air purity with a comprehensive filter system. \nThis program offers knowledge and essential hands-on training that will provide you with the experience and knowledge you need to meet the daily challenges of working with nuclear technology. \nIn addition to ventilation\, the program also includes wide-ranging nuclear and non-nuclear topics relevant to biotechnology\, clean rooms\, health care\, the military and commercial utilities. \nHands-on Laboratory Sessions \nParticipants benefit from interactive laboratory sessions in which they apply the theories learned in class\, gain experience operating a variety of testing equipment\, and participate in small group discussions focusing on the practical challenges and remedies in working with nuclear-filtration systems. \nProgram Curriculum \nThis dynamic curriculum is designed to allow participants to practice the knowledge and skills they need to implement\, enhance\, or certify nuclear air-filtration systems. In addition to presenting theory and frameworks\, the program requires that participants apply theories in hands-on interactive laboratory exercises and discuss issues during laboratory breakout groups with peers facing similar challenges.

SUMMARY:New England CEPAC Meeting: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
DESCRIPTION:The New England Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC)\, a core program of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER)\, will hold a public meeting on July 25\, 2019 to consider the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of deflazacort (Emflaza®\, PTC Therapeutics)\, eteplirsen (Exondys 51®\, Sarepta) and golodirsen (Sarepta)for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). \nDMD is a fatal\, X-linked neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that result in progressive loss of muscle function\, including skeletal and cardiac function. It is the most common pediatric muscular dystrophy\, affecting about 400 to 600 boys per year in the US. \nThis is ICER’s first review of treatments for DMD. A presentation of the evidence will be followed by a public comment period and deliberations and votes by the New England CEPAC. The votes will be followed by a policy roundtable discussion. \nA list of key dates for stakeholder engagement opportunities and other important information associated with the review of deflazacort\, eteplirsen\, and golodirsen for DMD can be found on ICER’s website at https://icer-review.org/topic/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy/.
