Dr. Andrzej Bartke, Director of SIU's Aging & Longevity Research Laboratory, has won several major research awards, including the Methuselah award for generating the world's oldest mouse. When he isn't lecturing around the world, he and his team of laboratory scientists work to gather research on the effects of growth hormones and caloric restriction on aging.
We are working on the genetic control of aging in mammals and on endocrine mechanisms responsible for the effects of longevity genes. We reported the first evidence that mutation of a single gene can significantly extend life span in a mammal (Brown-Borg et al. Nature 384:33, 1996). We have extensively characterized the phenotype of long-lived Ames dwarf (Prop1df) mice and identified several mechanisms that are likely to explain or contribute to delayed aging and greatly prolonged longevity of these animals. These mechanisms include reduced plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)
SIU Emergency Medicine students, residents and faculty joined the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians for the 2nd Annual Advocacy Day. Dr. Mark Baker (PGY 1 EM Resident) greets Illinois Senator Sam McCann outside of the Senate chambers. ICEP members from throughout Illinois met and discussed issues important to patients and physicians with their legislators at the State Capitol.
The 2nd Annual SIUEM Fire Day was held at the Sherman Fire Department April 6th 2017. Firefighters from the Springfield Fire Department Training Division instructed the residents and students on forced entry, confined space movements and the manipulation of equipment through a multistory training tower. Resident physicians presented topics on suspension syndrome, blast and crush injuries. The event allows our learners to better understand the environment and extremes that our patients and prehospital providers face when a structure fire occurs.
SIU Emergency Medicine residents and medical students participated in an orthopedic skills lab today at the Memorial Center for Learning and Innovation (MCLI.) Springfield Clinic orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matthew Gardner with the help of SIU orthopedic residents instructed learners on fracture reduction and proper splinting technique. A new addition to the training day was a simulated distal forearm fracture model. This 2nd annual skills lab made possible by the staff of the SIU Surgical Skills Lab at the MCLI and our orthopedic colleagues will continue to elevate emergency orthopedic care in our
