KPTV-TV airs a story about an Uber driver who rescued a woman from a burning car in October and then forged a friendship during the patient’s three-month stay at OHSU.

News coverage continues on an OHSU study that found as much as a four-fold increase in immune response by switching arms in a multidose vaccine.

In a story on a Pennsylvania woman’s diagnosis and work to raise awareness of cholangiocarcinoma, or cancer of the bile duct, Flavio Rocha, M.D., says: “The American Cancer Society does estimate that cancers of the liver and bile duct will become the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. by 2030."

OHSU research indicates people may receive as much as a four-fold increase in immune response when they alternate from one arm to the other when receiving a multi-dose vaccine. While the reason for this difference isn’t certain, Marcel Curlin, M.D., suspects switching arms activates immune responses in different lymph nodes: “By switching arms, you basically have memory formation in two locations instead of one.”

Brian Park, M.D., describes how augmented reality can be used during medical procedures.

Paul Halverson, Dr.P.H., is the new dean of the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health.
