Doctor depression, suicide slowly coming out of shadows
Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine last year tapped a psychiatrist to launch a confidential, 24-hour hotline solely for residents and fellows at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. A hospital-wide peer support program also is in the works, said Dr. Joan Anzia , residency program director for the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Anzia said doctors often experience that “secondary trauma,” but instead of talking about it, “you tough it out. You don’t share with others when you don’t feel adequate. … It’s a culture of medicine of needing to be the team leader, of not showing vulnerability, of having to be strong for the patient and the team.

Vegan bloggers say their diets can stop menstrual ‘toxins,’ and doctors aren’t pleased
There is no scientific basis to the idea that a period indicates the body is shedding toxins, Lauren Streicher , associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, told Shape magazine. “A menstrual cycle is natural the purpose of it is to achieve a pregnancy. That’s it. Period,” Streicher said.

All-female NU research team’s breakthrough: 3-D printed ovary
An all-female team of researchers at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering has managed to use a 3-D printer to create a fully functioning prosthetic ovary in mice. The artificial organ has the potential to change the way human infertility is treated. Featuring Teresa K. Woodruff and Dr. Monica Loranda

Mouse Gives Birth to Pups Using 3-D Printed Ovary
In another step forward in the world of 3-D printed tissues, U.S. scientists report they’ve created a “bioprosthetic” ovary in a mouse using the technology — and the mouse has given birth to healthy pups. “These bioprosthetic ovaries have long-term, durable function,” said researcher Teresa K. Woodruff , of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

3-D Printed Ovaries Are Helping Mice to Get Pregnant
“What happens with some of our cancer patients is that their ovaries don’t function at a high enough level and they need to use hormone replacement therapies in order to trigger puberty,” said Dr. Monica Loranda , a co-lead author of the study.

3-D printed ovaries help mice get pregnant, show promise for fertility treatments
“A successful human bioprosthetic could have a wide range of applications,” said Dr. Monica Loranda , the lead author of the paper and researcher at Northwestern University. She said the women who may be helped include those who have reproductive development disorders, had cancer as children or who had rheumatological disease.

Weight loss tied to lower risk of knee joint degeneration
Even so, the study offers fresh evidence of how weight loss may benefit the knee joints, said Dr. Leena Sharma , director of the Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Center in Rheumatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “This study uniquely gets at the benefits of weight loss on specific tissue abnormalities in knee osteoarthritis and convincingly demonstrates the benefit of weight loss on the course of this common condition,” Sharma, who wasn’t involved in the study, said by email.
