$29.4 Million Grant Establishes CTSI At NYU In Partnership With Health And Hospitals Corporation
NYU and NYU School of Medicine received a $29.4 million, five-year Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a University-wide Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI) in partnership with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC). The funding is designed to train medical researchers, more rapidly advance science from the lab to the patient to the community and to allow researchers to explore mechanisms of health disparities and develop evidence-based approaches targeted at their reduction. With this grant, NYU, the NYU School of Medicine and HHC will become part of a network of 46 existing Clinical and Translational Science centers based at academic medical centers around the country.

Blogs Comment On Appeals Court Ruling On Virginia Abortion Ban, German Abortion Law, Other Topics
The following summarizes selected women"s health-related blog entries.~ "Another Abortion Case Developing," Lyle Denniston, SCOTUSblog: The decision by the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit to uphold Virginia"s 2003 law banning what abortion-rights opponents call "partial-birth" abortion -- known medically as intact dilation and extraction -- could send a new abortion-rights case to the U.S. Supreme Court, Denniston writes. He continues that if the case, Richmond Medical Center v. Herring, is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, it could be a "sequel" to the court"s 2007 ruling in Gonzales v. Carhart, which upheld a federal ban on the procedure. Denniston notes that the 4th Circuit Court panel twice struck down the Virginia law. A "key factor" in those rulings was that the state law "differs in some significant respects from the federal ban," he writes. Denniston continues that the full appeals court in its opinion said that the Virginia law "is "somewhat different" from the federal ban, but still "provides sufficient clarity as to what conduct is prohibited to enable a doctor of reasonable intelligence to avoid criminal liability under it."" According to Denniston, "The most significant difference between the Virginia ban and the federal ban is that, under the Virginia law, a doctor who intends to perform an abortion that does not violate the law, but the fetus accidentally is delivered intact to a significant degree, and if the mother"s life is not at stake, the doctor has committed a crime" (Denniston, SCOTUSblog, 6/24).~ "More Restrictive Law on Late-Term Abortions Comes to Germany," Anna Wilkowska-Landowska, RH Reality Check: Pregnant German women seeking abortions after the first trimester of pregnancy "will face stringent consultations and will be required to undergo a waiting period of at least three days before a physician can make a final decision allowing the abortion" under a new German law, Wilkowska-Landowska writes. According to a 1995 German law, an abortion performed during the first three months of pregnancy is considered an unlawful act but not a punishable offense if a pregnant woman first visits a counseling center, though the woman is not required to give a reason for seeking the procedure. German law allows abortion after 20 weeks" gestation if there is a risk to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman. In May, the lower house of the German parliament enacted a law requiring women seeking the procedure after the first trimester to wait at least three days before a physician can make the decision to perform an abortion. Women also must undergo a psychological evaluation. In addition, parliamentarians voted to increase "consultations and support for families with handicapped children considering termination," Wilkowska-Landowska writes. She continues that the medical and psychological consultation requirements are aimed at reducing the number of abortions performed after the first trimester. According to Wilkowska-Landowska, church representatives and lawmakers began discussions on the issue in 2005,when it was reported that the number of abortions performed later in pregnancy were increasing (Wilkowska-Landowska, RH Reality Check, 6/25).~ "Jon Stewart and Mike Huckabee on Abortion," Jim Wallis, Sojourners" "God"s Politics": Wallis writes that he was surprised to see that The Daily Show handled a discussion on abortion between host Jon Stewart and former Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with such "nuance and respect" for the topic. According to Wallis, although Stewart and Huckabee "didn"t solve the issue, ... the depth of their dialogue and their respect for the other"s core values and opinions was clear." Wallis writes they "never quite reached common ground, but their dialogue was a great example of the type of civil discourse our country needs to be engaged in." Wallis also includes video clips of the interview (Wallis, "God"s Politics," Sojourners, 6/24).~ "George Tiller: Health Care P

ADPH Designates USA Medical Center As Level I Trauma Center

The Alabama Department of Public Health has designated the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile as a Level I trauma center. USA is the first medical center in the Gulf Region of Alabama to receive this official designation following the passage of state legislation in 2007 which established a coordinated system. The center provides the highest level of emergency care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "A Level I center provides a systematic response to trauma that utilizes res from all medical specialties to meet the special needs of the seriously injured patient at a moment"s notice," Dr. Donald Williamson, state health officer, said. "This organized approach greatly improves the patient"s chance for survival." Three Alabama hospitals-Children"s Hospital of Alabama, the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, and Huntsville Hospital-had been designated Level I trauma centers prior to the passage of the 2007 legislation. Trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 45. Almost 80 percent of Alabama"s trauma cases are caused by motor vehicle crashes. Other trauma cases involve falls, drowning, burns and poison ingestion. Dr. John Campbell, medical director of the Office of EMS and Trauma, said, "We applaud the medical staff at the University of South Alabama Medical Center for its ongoing commitment to trauma care." Beth Anderson, USA Medical Center administrator, said, "We"re honored to have our Level I trauma center status, and look forward to the development of a statewide trauma system that will mean better care for Alabama"s most seriously injured patients. "As the region"s only Level I trauma center, our trauma team has a preplanned coordinated response, ready to implement as soon as a call for help is received," Ms. Anderson said. "It begins with patient care at the scene of the injury where specially trained health care professionals-including EMTs and paramedics-perform initial resuscitation, treatment and triage of injured persons. "Transportation to our trauma center is facilitated by ambulance or air ambulance, where the USA Medical Center trauma team stands ready to begin treatment along with all necessary services, including operative care, if needed," Ms. Anderson said. A trauma system is a coordinated system of care that includes emergency medical technicians, a trauma communications system, hospital emergency department staff, trauma surgeons and other physicians who provide needed surgical and other care. These providers work together to determine the best possible course of action for the injured persons reported through the 911 system. Alabama is currently in the process of developing a statewide trauma system which will help save lives and reduce the burden of trauma. The system will improve the chance of survival, regardless of proximity to an urban trauma center. The trauma system is voluntary and all hospitals are invited to participate. Participating hospitals will be designated as levels I, II or III, depending on their re and service availability. Hospitals are inspected to verify that they can provide the level of care for which they have applied. Alabama will be the only state in the nation with the capability to constantly monitor the status of every trauma hospital and route the trauma patient to the most appropriate hospital every time. This system will serve as a model for the rest of the nation. The Alabama Trauma System is built around a high-tech communication center that coordinates patient transport to the appropriate initial facility. The communication center also facilitates transfer of patients who must be stabilized locally before transfer for definitive care. This is accomplished by a staff that monitors a computer network relaying an up-to-the-minute status of all trauma hospitals and res, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system is overseen by a quality improvement process that provides an avenue to solve problems while ensuring the highest level of care. Alabama Department of Public Health
