CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
Long-term Outcome for Surgical Sympathectomy for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndromes.
Our first publication on outcome was limited to one year after surgical sympathectomy. We are planning a 5-year follow-up study.

INVENTIONS/PATENTS
United States Patent #4,306,018: An integrated gas-heat exchanger that includes an aluminum cylinder with provision for passing a coolant through the center of the cylinder. On the outside of the cylinder, a Silastic tube wound in a helix for the flow of blood is encased in a small Plexiglass compartment through which oxygen is pumped. The oxygen passes through the Silastic membrane into the changer where it is purged. The specific configuration for this lung has provided surprising results by operating in a manner much superior to other artificial lungs.
United States Patent #6,505,326 (Co-developer): Microdroplets of water-insoluble drugs comprising of a sphere of the drug surrounded by a unimolecular phospholipid layer, suitable for administration by injection. I was instrumental in developing the technology and in obtaining an IND from the FDA. This unique technology is being applied to lipid soluble drugs to render a lower fat load in diluents and to make the drug preparations resistant to bacterial growth. To date (2006), more than $45 million has been spent in commercializing the technology.
