Engineering Solutions to Surgical Pain Management
All seminars will be held in-person in IOE 1680 as well as virtually on Zoom. For the Zoom link and password, RSVP at https://forms.gle/6L14KTNJu9sizkN36. To view all of our upcoming seminars, see https://cheps.engin.umich.edu/seminar-series/2021-seminar/. Opioid prescribing for pain after surgery is a common practice in western medicine. These medications are an important tool for pain management, however excessive opioid prescribing, especially after surgery, can lead to long-term dependence and medication diversion in our communities. This is a dangerous trend that has contributed to the rise of the opioid epidemic in the United States. Dr. Englesbe and Alex Hallway have spent the last 5…

Montie Shumaker Kidney Cancer Lecture: Exploiting the RCC tumor microenvironment to guide therapy
You are invited to the Biennial Montie Shumaker Kidney Cancer Lecture featuring A. Ari Hakimi, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Urology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is the co-leader of the translational kidney cancer program and an active kidney cancer surgeon. His lab aims to understand immune infiltration, inflammation, and the tumor microenvironment in RCC to identify novel therapeutic targets to overcome resistance to systemic therapies. These studies apply bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, and immunogenomic analyses to both patient samples and mouse models. For more information, contact Katey Sullivan, skatey@med.umich.edu, 734-615-6662…
First Do No Harm: Understanding the ML/AI Behind Clinical Decision Alerts
Precision Health at U-M continues its seminar series on how precision-health research and approaches impact clinical care. On October 29, join us for "First Do No Harm: Understanding the ML/AI Behind Clinical Decision Alerts." During this introduction to machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, you will learn the limitations of using electronic health records (EHR); the distinctions between AI, data science, ML, and informatics; how these work together to create clinical decision alerts; and their implications for practice. You'll also learn how these models move from development to deployment. This presentation is geared toward clinicians from all health disciplines, ML/AI healthcare researchers, and anyone interested…
IDEAL RRTC Disability Webinar Series: Bone Health
Adults with pediatric-onset neurodevelopmental disabilities and skeletal disabilities are often challenged by bone fragility. Edward Hurvitz, M.D., and Daniel Whitney, Ph.D., will discuss implications of skeletal fragility and fracture risk on health outcomes and quality of life over the lifespan. They will describe the physiology of bone development and how it differs in these disabilities, and the importance of considering bone size and mineralization as an innovative way of assessing fracture risk. This information forms the basis for discussing how bone strength is affected in various conditions, along with implications for treatment. Knowing the biological and biomechanical pathways to fragility can inform…
