Working Together to Cure Alzheimer's Disease
Dr. Heather Whitson has a personal motivation to find better treatments and even a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Like many of the patients who participate in the studies she leads at the Duke-UNC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, Whitson has a family history of the devastating neurological disease that drives her to seek breakthroughs.
On the Move Again After Chronic Total Occlusion
Mitchell Doub, 64, could barely walk across his living room without experiencing debilitating chest pain thanks to an advanced form of coronary artery disease called chronic total occlusion. After Doub was told nothing could be done, Duke Health’s Islam M. Othman, MD, offered a solution. Dr. Othman performed a complex catheterization procedure that opened Doub’s blocked artery and gave him immediate symptom relief. Now Doub is back to working out and looking forward to an upcoming trip to Colorado. “If you have a chronic total occlusion, don't walk; run to Duke,” he said.
