RAD 24Q: Biology of Aging: Deciphering Senescence

How do we detect and understand the aging happening within us? Exploring the mechanisms underlying the process of aging has been at the forefront of biomedical research across the globe. Age-associated pathophysiologies have become a global socioeconomic burden warranting solutions to improve the quality of life of elderly people. Comprehending the biological aspects of aging holds significance for both the potential long-term enhancement of longevity and the immediate amelioration of age-associated diseases. Senescence plays a prominent role in age associated pathophysiologies including pulmonary fibrosis, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis, kidney diseases, dementia, and hearing loss. Understanding tissue specific age-related changes at the molecular, cellular, genetic level will enable developing new senolytic therapies. This course will cover the widely accepted senescence biomarkers across different tissues in the body during normal aging and disease. It wo more »
How do we detect and understand the aging happening within us? Exploring the mechanisms underlying the process of aging has been at the forefront of biomedical research across the globe.

Senescence plays a prominent role in age associated pathophysiologies including pulmonary fibrosis, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis, kidney diseases, dementia, and hearing loss. Understanding tissue specific age-related changes at the molecular, cellular, genetic level will enable developing new senolytic therapies. This course will cover the widely accepted senescence biomarkers across different tissues in the body during normal aging and disease. It would also cover what happens at the mechanistic level inside the body of centenarians corresponding to their lifestyle choices. The technological advancements that have evolved over the years to identify senescence cells and strategies to eliminate senescence cells from the body will be discussed. Students will have the opportunity to tour an imaging facility where these techniques are been developed from the stage of conception to testing in preclinical models ultimately leading to clinical translation. Key elements of this course would be student-led presentations on topics of their interest across the aging spectrum. By the end of the class, I would hope every student leaves with a better understanding of how their body ages and lifestyle changes for healthy aging in addition to the scientific interventions to detect and alleviate age-associated diseases.

RAD 301A: Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: This is the core radiology clerkship designed for students going into any medical specialty, including radiology. The four-week course includes didactic and case-based sessions as well as observation in subspecialty radiology reading rooms (considering student preferences for subspecialty). Students will learn the pros and cons of various imaging modalities and will gain an appreciation for radiation risks and the benefits and risks of radiographic contrast materials and nuclear medicine tracers. Emphasis is placed on fundamentals of clinical applications and interpretation for radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine studies. Students are taught primarily by radiology faculty, with emphasis on interactive sessions including neurological, cardiothoracic, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and nuclear medicine imaging. Students participate in case-based reviews with radiology residents based on interesting cases they have seen in the reading rooms or other rotations. Interested students may have an option to actively participate by dictating basic clinical cases, similar to radiology trainees. Extensive online learning materials including videos of didactic sessions are made available. Two quizzes are administered during the course and must be passed to receive course credit. PREREQUISITES: Medicine 300A, Pediatrics 300A, or Surgery 300A strongly advised. Visiting students wishing to do this clerkship must receive prior approval from the Clerkship Coordinator before applying. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 4, 5, 8, 9, full-time for 4 weeks, 22 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Erin Grady, M.D. and Bryan Lanzman, M.D. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Sergio Sousa, 650-724-7518, smsousa@stanford.edu. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS: Where: Instructions on Canvas; Time: Check schedule in Canvas. CALL CODE: 0. OTHER FACULTY: Radiology faculty, fellows, and residents. LOCATION: SUMC.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 6

RAD 302A: Nuclear Medicine Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Acquaints students with the basic principles of nuclear medicine, the instrumentation used (including SPECT-CT, PET-CT, and PET-MRI), the gamut of procedures available, and the judgments used to select specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and interpret results. The experience should be especially helpful for students planning a career in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, urology, or oncology. The student experience includes instruction in radiologic physics, instrumentation, responsibility for selected isotopic procedures, daily teaching rounds for review of all cases studies, observation of theragnostic patient visits and therapeutic administration and special conferences. Please note: Visiting students must obtain approval from the Department prior to applying for this clerkship. Please email requests to Ann Vo (annvo@stanford.edu). PREREQUISITES: Medicine 300A.
