- In vivo flow cytometry with negative photo acoustic contrast for noninvasive, continuous, real−time detection of circulating clots. 11-11
Treatment of cardiovascular diseases, heart attack and stroke remain leading causes of death in the world, affecting close to 15 million individuals per year. Among various risk factors, circulating clots (termed also thrombi) may cause unexpected death or stoke. At present no clinically relevant method has been developed for early detection of circulating clots despite their clinical significance as prognostic markers for preventing stroke and heart attacks.

- In vivo flow cytometry with negative photo acoustic contrast for noninvasive, continuous, real−time detection of circulating clots. (11-11)
The present invention is a method of in vivo flow cytometry with negative photo acoustic contrast for noninvasive, continuous, real−time detection of circulating clots. The Photo Acoustic technique based on detection of laser−induced acoustic waves provides greater sensitivity and spatial resolution in deeper tissue compared to the other optical modalities. In vivo multicolor flow cytometry, negative and positive PA contrasts integrated with focused ultrasound has potential for dynamic study of various clots directly in the bloodstream of superficial microvessels associated with different diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disorder, cancer metastasis, or infection) and their treatment (e.g., stents, implants, drugs) which otherwise could not be detected with existing techniques.

NOV. 1, 2001 | The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has established an Alzheimer’s Disease Center to focus research and education on the debilitating form of dementia.
The Donald W. Reynolds Department of Geriatrics in the UAMS College of Medicine received a $4.9 million grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for the center. The UAMS Alzheimer’s Disease Center will be one of only 29 Alzheimer’s disease centers in the United States.
Cornelia Beck, Ph.D., R.N., a professor of geriatrics, psychiatry, and nursing, will direct the center. Dr. Beck is the first nurse specialist to receive this type of NIA funding; generally the funding is to medical doctors.
The UAMS Alzheimer’s Disease Center leadership also includes W. Sue T. Griffin, Ph.D., co-director and associate leader of the center’s Neuropathology Core; Victor W. Henderson, M.D., M.S., co-director and leader of the center’s Clinical Core; Robert E. Mrak, M.D., Ph.D., leader of the Neuropathology Core; and Elaine Souder, Ph.D., R.N., leader of the Education/Information Transfer Core.
“I am particularly pleased that our Department of Geriatrics, which is one of only three departments of geriatrics in the nation, has been selected for this grant,” Dr. Beck said at a ceremony Tuesday in celebration of the new center.
“In concert with the Reynolds Center on Aging, the department has established a reputation of providing excellent patient care and conducting solid basic, clinical and health-services research. The Alzheimer’s Disease Center will become a shared resource to facilitate and enhance Alzheimer’s disease research at UAMS and, through collaborations, nationally and internationally. |
UAMS recently celebrated the establishment of the Alzheimer's Disease Center. From left: Cornelia Beck, Ph.D., R.N., Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D., and Sue T. Griffin, Ph.D. Drs. Beck and Griffin are researchers on Alzheimer's disease.

“Funding from this grant will have far-reaching benefits,” she explained. “It will help older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers by supporting the development of better diagnostic and intervention strategies and helping them to connect with practicing health-care professionals.
“The general public, especially those who live in rural areas and African-Americans, will be provided information about dementia and about the importance of approving an autopsy at the time of death.”
Each year the Senior Health Center at UAMS’s Donald W. Reynolds Center on Aging serves approximately 3,600 older adults. Almost one fourth have dementia; 26 percent live in rural areas; and 13 percent are African-American.
Dr. Beck added that UAMS students will learn about Alzheimer’s disease through the Area Health Education Centers and other health education programs.
The clinical team of neurologists, geriatricians and health care professionals from neuro-psychology, social work and nursing will evaluate a pool of up to 400 people, composed of those with Alzheimer’s disease, healthy normal older people, and people with certain other kinds of memory loss that is not caused by Alzheimer’s disease. The team will evaluate patients twice a year according to a set of measurable outcomes.
Compared to the rest of the country, Arkansas residents are older, more impoverished, and have lower educational levels and poorer health. “Because Arkansans tend to ‘age in place,’ we can follow Alzheimer’s disease patients and their caregivers over an extended period of time,” Dr. Beck said. “Deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease were more prevalent in Arkansas than nationally, and deaths in Arkansas due to cerebro-vascular disease were the second highest in the United States. I believe this center will provide a natural laboratory for studying how to provide Alzheimer’s disease services cost-effectively in medically underserved areas.”
