RECOVER: A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Blinded Trial Demonstrating the Safety and Effectiveness of VNS Therapy System as Adjunctive Therapy Versus a No-Stimulation Control in Subjects with Treatment-Resistant Depression

Active recruiting
The RECOVER study is a nationwide clinical trial that has been approved by Medicare to provide additional evidence for the benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy. Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy is an FDA-approved device for treating patients with TRD (Treatment Resistant Depression). It is implanted in the left chest area during a short outpatient procedure. The device delivers mild, intermittently pulsed signals to the vagus nerve in the neck that activate various parts of the brain. In a recent 5-year observational study, adding VNS Therapy to usual care was found to greatly increase the chances of benefit for people with TRD. More than 40% made a full recovery.

Diagnostic Radiology Preliminary Year

The SIU Radiology Residency Program is a categorical program; a preliminary-medicine year is automatically granted to all matching residents. The preliminary year operates on an 3+1 system where 3 weeks are spent on internal medicine rotations and 1 week is spent on radiology every month. Residents are considered integral members of the radiology program during their preliminary year and rotate through various subspecialties within the radiology department for one week every month. They also attend radiology conferences starting in October of their PGY-1 year. This lays a strong foundation for
