PT Faculty Candidate Presentation

Dr. Sherry Pinkstaff Faculty Candidate Title: The Clinical Utility of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Suspected Myocardial Ischemia Abstract: Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States with coronary artery disease (CAD) representing more than half of all cardiovascular events. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX), which adds ventilatory gas analysis to the traditional stress test, has recently been used to detect exercise-induced myocardial ischemia suggestive of underlying CAD. It is suggested that CPX may improve the diagnostic accuracy of the traditional stress test in a cost effective manner. This seminar will discuss the differences between the traditional exercise test and CPX and the rationale for the use of CPX in this patient population. Data will be presented which demonstrates that ventilatory efficiency declines in men with findings of significant coronary artery stenosis. There will also be a discussion of the clinical pitfalls o… Type of Event: Lecture/Speaker. Audience: Faculty/Staff. Students. Cost: free. Sponsor: Physical Therapy Department.

Dogma by Lars Iyer

The sequel to the 2010 hit Spurious, Dogma finds British intellectuals Lars and W. back together again. Embarking on a drunken lecture tour through the South, the duo turn to Dogma, a semi-religious code based on their philosophical studies. Their mission is soon derailed by endless bickering, inability to take meaningful action and perhaps the biggest catastrophe of all: they can’t seem to find a liquor store that carries their brand of gin! Part Nietzsche, part Monty Python, part Huckleberry Finn, Dogma is a novel as ridiculous and profound as religion itself. Type of Event: Lecture/Speaker. Audience: Faculty/Staff. Students. Public.
