Other Items of Interest
Lung
Tissue Research Consortium (LTRC)
The LTRC is
a resource program of the NHLBI that provides human lung tissues to qualified
investigators for use in their research. The program enrolls donor subjects
who are anticipating lung surgery, collects blood and extensive phenotypic
data from the prospective donors, and then processes their surgical waste
tissues for research use. Most donor subjects have interstitial fibrotic
lung disease or COPD.
New
Limited Access Dataset Available: The Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization
Investigation (BARI).
This trial was designed to compare survival in patients randomized to
receive either percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty
(PTCA) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). There was no significant long-term disadvantage regarding mortality or myocardial infarction associated with an initial strategy of PTCA compared with CABG.
An
Archive of the current and past issues
is available on the NHLBI Web site.
