University of Florida (UF) Health First to Place Kidney-Assist Device That Might Help Patients With Congestive Heart Failure

May 4, 2021 By Bill Levesque GAINESVILLE, Fla. (May 4, 2021)  University of Florida Health researchers recently became the first to temporarily implant a new device in a patient with congestive heart failure, a procedure that one day could help physicians manage this potentially deadly condition. Physicians in the UF College of Medicine’s department of urology and division of cardiovascular medicine performed the first-in-human use of the JuxtaFlow® renal negative pressure treatment device in April after enrolling the first patient in a clinical trial to evaluate its safety and effectiveness. UF Health hopes to enroll up to 10 patients in the trial. Each patient will receive the treatment for 24 hours while they are continually monitored by a member of the research team. After the device is removed, patients will continue to be closely followed for a month.

UF scientist Hauswirth recognized for work to cure blindness

The Gainesville Sun University of Florida Health ophthalmology researcher Dr. William W. Hauswirth, whose long and distinguished career includes developing and testing treatments for multiple forms of genetic blindness, is among the scientists being recognized for their pioneering work to eradicate vision loss. Hauswirth was among 13 scientists awarded The Sanford and Sue Greenberg Prize to End Blindness, which carries a total of $3 million in funding. Hauswirth’s achievements include a decades-long effort to bring sight to patients who have a genetic form of vision loss known as Leber congenital amaurosis type 2. His work with collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania culminated with federal approval of a gene therapy for the disease in late 2017.
