Today’s Breakthroughs and Tomorrow’s Leaders

     Watch our Medical Headline Videos:

•      A new FDA-approved device, also used to treat epilepsy, is now giving some patients another chance. Dr Khaled Aziz, MD, Neurosurgeon at Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh tells us all about “Visualase for Brain Tumors.”
•      There is a new drug that helps addicts stay on the road to recovery. Dr Michael Frost, MD, Addiction Medicine Physician at the Frost Medical Group in Philadelphia is “Fighting Opioid Addiction: Bunavail.”
•      Cutting-edge instruments are making all the difference in diagnosis and treatment for ocular melanoma. Dr Tara McCannel, MD, PhD, at Stein Eye Institute, UCLA explains in our report, “Eye cancer: Microsurgery.”

     We have a three part series, Training Tomorrow’s Leaders, in our Smart Woman reports this month and I think you will love them all. One is “The Good Doctor” with Dean Deb German at the University of Central Florida’s new medical school. Another part is “Young Politician: Inspired to Run” and the third one is “Black Girls Code.” You will want to watch all three of these reports!
