New Departmental Research Grant AwardDavid S. Warner, MD, Chief of the Division of Basic Sciences and member of the Division of Otolaryngology, Head, Neck/Neuroanesthesiology, received a 2-year $429,000 NIH Exploratory/Development Research Grant (R21) from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

entitled “S-Nitrosylated Hemoglobin and Ischemic Brain Injury”. Ischemic stroke is caused by cerebral blood flow (CBF) inadequate to allow brain tissue survival. It is known from humans treated with tissue plasminogen activator that ischemic tissue can be salvaged from infarction by thrombolytic CBF restoration – this improves outcome. Thus, improved CBF is a therapeutic target. The goal of this project is to determine the effectiveness of an inhaled gas, ethyl nitrite, in improving blood flow during an experimental stroke in rats. The investigative team has evidence that indicates that ethyl nitrite will selectively improve blood flow to the part of the brain that is experiencing a stroke, but that will do so with little or no effect on blood flow to other parts of the body. The team will then examine whether this effect is important in reducing the amount of tissue damage and neurologic impairment caused by the stroke.

ASA Hotel Room Block InformationMark F. Newman, MD

In order to maximize our impact while minimizing the overall departmental cost, we will again have a hotel arrangement this year that will allow us to consolidate and take advantage of group purchase

to reduce our food and room rental expenses. In order to accomplish this we have a room block at the Renaissance Hotel in New Orleans. You will need to book your room by visiting the site listed below. The link includes our reservation code for our room rate. I expect that we will fully reserve in our block first before using any outside hotels. If you have any questions or concerns please see me.

The Marriott Renaissance in New Orleans has reduced the Duke Anesthesiology room block rate from $259/night to $215/night which is the ASA room rate. If you have already made your reservation it will be changed to reflect the new $215 rate. If you have any questions or problems contact Gloria Howard at [email protected] or 681-6493.
