\u2022 Researchers Developing Drug Delivery Patches to Manage Pain Without Addiction Risk<\/p>\n

Three University of Virginia researchers are working toward an innovative solution for treating lower back pain after surgery and for chronic back pain. They are developing drug delivery patches that would be worn on the skin, like a bandage, to deliver non-addictive pain medicine directly to the site of pain, rather than systemically via pills or injections. The work builds on UVA\u2019s expertise in orthopedics and pain management \u2013 and the engineering of very thin and flexible sensors and circuits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to relieve pain for patients while also reducing the use of potentially addictive opioids,\u201d said Joshua Li, MD. \u201cOur goal is to help patients effectively participate in managing their own pain without fear of becoming dependent on medications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Li has dual appointment as Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Department of Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n

Li Jin, PhD, Assistant Professor of Research in Orthopaedic Surgery, and Baoxing Xu, PhD, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, are collaborating with Li.<\/p>\n

\u2022 After Decades of Work, UVA Launches Human Tests of Lung Transplant Drug<\/p>\n

In the culmination of decades of research at UVA, doctors have begun human testing of a drug they hope will one day save many lives among lung transplant recipients.<\/p>\n

The drug, regadenoson, is already commonly used to image cardiac patients\u2019 hearts. But the UVA research suggests it could be put to another, lifesaving purpose: battling ischemia reperfusion injury, in which tissue is damaged by the restoration of blood flow after it has been cut off.<\/p>\n

The principal investigator of UVA\u2019s trial, Christine L. Lau, MD, Professor of Surgery, called ischemia reperfusion injury the \u201cAchilles\u2019 heel of lung transplant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIschemia reperfusion injury directly correlates to the development of chronic rejection, which is the reason why five-year survival in lung transplant recipients is only about 50 percent,\u201d said Lau, a surgeon. \u201cYet there really are almost no [other] clinical trials in lung transplant. This is our best hope.\u201d<\/p>\n
