The Kentucky Women’s Health Research Registry was created to help women and medical professionals learn why diseases affect women differently than men. By volunteering, women make a crucial and powerful contribution to women’s health care, improving the health of future generations through advanced, focused research. In addition to providing an epidemio-logic data base to evaluate associations between exposures and disease, the registry will facilitate inclusion for women who are interested in partici-pating in research. For more information, visit our website at www.mc.uky.edu/womenshealth or call (859) 323-5709.

Surgery so advanced, it’s not even surgery. The Leksell Gamma Knife® Model C is a non-invasive form of treatment that uses 3-D computer planning from a CT scan, MRI or angiogram to concentrate beams of radiation to target the affected area. Individually, the beams are harmless; together they destroy target cells to treat tumors and disorders. Although some patients may stay overnight, the procedure usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes and almost all patients resume normal activity within a day or two. For more information on the Gamma Knife, call (859) 257-1000.
