MARCO Grand Rounds for April 16, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last Sunday, Harry WB9EDP closed the docket on HIV.

This Sunday we will be studying a new kid on the block (1981), a condition found in 1 in every 500 people. Most of these people don't know they have the problem until it STRIKES!!! The topic will be "PROTEIN C DEFICIENCY," and Bruce, KM2L, our hematologist has volunteered to toe the line for us. If you haven't heard about it LISTEN--it is out there waiting to be discovered by SMART doctors. I had a patient case three years ago and I admit, I was ignorant--but learned fast.

[Note from Lecturer: I may change the agenda slightly and include a discussion of the results of the Hope 2 and Norvit trials, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. These studies examined the use of folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 for prevention of throembolic disease. - KM2L]

Arnold should be back by Sunday to tell us all about his Dxpedtion.
