Clinical Briefing: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Treatment-Resistant Depression
At the Penn Comprehensive Depression Center, an office-based investigational procedure has shown significant promise for the treatment of major depression in patients for whom psychotherapy and antidepressant medications have not been effective.
Translational Research at Penn: Redefining Endstage Heart Failure
Endstage heart failure is being redefined at Penn Medicine as an interim in the progress of the disease—a respite, rather than a conclusion—for patients who are ineligible for heart transplant surgery. This is possible because Penn cardiologists, surgeons and researchers have aggressively pursued partnerships with scientists and engineers to translate fundamental research in cardiovascular mechanics and dynamics into instruments that support or replace heart functions. These life-sustaining ventricular assist devices, or VADs, have dramatically altered the prospects for patients in endstage heart failure.
Transplant Research Leads to Better Outcomes
As a result of research initiated at Penn and carried into practice, more patients considered to be at high risk—those with severe heart, kidney, liver and lung disease—are surviving end-stage organ disease than ever before.
