Host: Lee Freedman, MD

Guest: Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD

The CDC has ominously projected that one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in his or her lifetime. Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and director of the Penn Diabetes Center, discusses the magnitude of the diabetes epidemic. What can we do to prevent the CDC’s prediction from materializing?

Host: Lee Freedman, MD

Guest: John Y.K. Lee, MD

Dr. Lee discusses the use of Deep Brain Stimulation as a new option for the treatment of Parkinsonian tremor and other movement disorders.

Dr. John Y.K. Lee, assistant professor of neurosurgery and medical director of the Gamma Knife Center within the University of Pennsylvania Health System, details the neurosurgical utility of the gamma knife with host Dr. Lee Freedman. What are its guiding principles? How does this minimally invasive approach add safety and precision to the current treatment modalities for brain tumors and other diseases?
