THREE MORE ARTICLES from PSL PHYSICIANS

We are very pleased to recognize the following 3 outstanding PSL physicians who have authored articles in 2010, two of whom already have had other articles published this year.

John A. van Doorninck, M.D., pediatric hematology/oncology specialist, co-authored a report from the Children's Oncology Group entitled "Ewing Tumors That Do Not Over-Express BMI-1 Are a Distinct Molecular Subclass with Variant Biology." This article appeared very recently as an Epub ahead of print in the online November 3rd issue of Clinical Cancer Research.

David B. Hahn, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, was the first author of the the article "Osteochondral Lesionsof the Talus Treated with Fresh Talar Allografts" published in Foot & Ankle International, Volume 31, No. 4, April, pp. 277-282.

Dr. Geoffrey A. Block, nephrologist, singly authored "Screening Dialysis Patients for Vascular Calcification," which was published in Seminars in Dialysis, Vol 23, No. 3, May-June, pp. 271-276.

Copies of each of these articles are available at the front reference desk in the library.
