When one hears the word CANCER, there is often a twinge in the stomach. Yet cancer prevention and cancer cures, along with advanced life-extending projections, are increasing every minute.

All over the world scientists, pharmaceutical houses and laboratory researchers are discovering new things about cancer.

While no one wants to have it, we know that 1.3 million people, worldwide, die from lung cancer, annually, today there is HOPE! The number of cases of remission and cure are growing triple-fold, and receiving a cancer diagnosis, today, need not be a death sentence.

Leading the way, for over 55 years in female cancers, particularly gynecologic cancer, A best of Henrietta Lacks was unhas been Dr. Roland A. Pattillo.

Dr. Roland Pattillo has been working toward the cure for cancer.

And, those cells, the cells of HENRIETTA LACKS (HELA) remain a treasured scientific baseline of his continued study, and an intellectual repository for trillions around the world.

Many will remember the many news articles about Dr. Pattillo’s work here in Milwaukee and hundreds of families sought his consult for family members, locally and throughout the country.

Additionally, noted doctors, worldwide, have invited him to speak, to share, to give his experience on specific cases; and the Lectureships have led to many new discoveries, internationally. (continued on page 2)

However, Dr. Pattillo has also wanted to ensure that the science has been married to the personal, the patient, and he has led a single-effort campaign for over 20 years to have people know that HELA was also a person. His devotion to Henrietta, the woman, led him to meet the Lacks family and interface individually with them.

He has taken on an almost protective father image over their rights as individuals and as a family, while also working to make certain that the legacy of Henrietta would be forever known.

And the ethical questions of remuneration for the use of one’s cells should never be repeated, without knowledge and consent.

This personal connection, to Henrietta, the woman, mother, neighbor, and most importantly the patient, led Pattillo to establish the Morehouse School of Medicine’s Annual HELA CONFERENCE. Held each September on the Morehouse School of Medicine’s campus, the HELA Conference has brought professionals from every collaborative scientific field, including National Institute of Health; the US. Surgeon General’s office; the American Cancer Society, the Georgia Department of Health; many pharmaceutical companies with new drugs or the studies associated with anticipated drugs already in the pipeline, plus thousands of patient studies that can be shared with professionals for laboratory data, statistics, outcomes or concerns when viewed, analyzed, and critiqued.

The annual HELA Conference, of 1996, with specific papers recorded in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, was read by Rebecca Skloot, now noted author of the multi-million dollar seller, “ The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”, published in 2010.

Dr. Pattillo had introduced Rebecca Skloot to the Lacks family.

Deborah Lacks, the daughter, never lived to see the book, nor

meet the many people who benefitted from HELA cells, but she openly shared the story, hoping that people would come to know the mother she was not blessed to know, as she was too young.

Henrietta Lacks died at the young age of 31 years, leaving five children, including her baby, Zakariyya, who was less than a year old.

Today, the world knows that HELA stands for Henrietta Lacks.

Millions have read the book and trillions more are the beneficiary of her cells, through research studies, and prescriptions taken for innumerable ailments, not just cancer.

Daily we each should utter, “thank you Henrietta”, for her cells continue to proliferate, after 60 plus years, and they continue to be used because they give so much scientific information.

The 20th Annual HELA Conference, in Atlanta, Friday and Saturday, September 18 and 19th on the Morehouse School of Medicine campus, had over 500 participants.

Friday’s sessions focused on “Precision Medicine and Health Equity”, with Dr. Valarie Montgomery Rice, President/Dean of the medical school welcoming all participants.

Dr. Montgomery Rice is the first female to lead this magnanimous institution that provides some of the best doctors, particularly minority health professionals, in the field of medicine today.

Over the course of the day, Dr. Montgomery Rice also presided over the unveiling of the Henrietta Lacks sculpture, created by renowned sculptor, Jonas Perkins, whose bust of the late Maya Angelou stands in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Commissioned by Dr. Pattillo and his wife, Patricia, as a permanent piece for the medical school, the bronze bust, of museum quality and stature, should become a daily reminder to Morehouse School of Medicine students and (continued on page 3)

HENRIETTA LACKS, a poor,

married, African American mother of five, died at 31 in Baltimore from a vicious form of cervical cancer. During her treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital and after her death there in 1951, researchers harvested some of her tumor cells.

This wasn’t unusual. Though Lacks consented to treatment, no one asked permission to take her cells; the era’s scientists considered it fair to conduct research on patients Lacks in public wards since they were being treated for free. What was unusual was what happened next.

Doctors needed human cells to study cervical cancer’s progression, but despite decades of effort they had been unable to keep human cells alive in culture. “Henrietta’s were different: They reproduced an entire generation every 24 hours, and they never stopped,” writes Rebecca Skloot, a science journalist, in her new book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. “They became the first immortal cells ever grown in a laboratory.”

They also became famous. Labeled HeLa, they were at first given away free to any researcher who asked. By 1952, they were being mass-produced at Tuskegee Institute (ironically, at the same time the notorious Tuskegee Syphilis Study was being conducted on unsuspecting and untreated black men), then sent to polio centers nationwide to test the efficacy of the new Salk vaccine. They “grew like crabgrass in laboratories

around the world” and went up in the second satellite ever in orbit, Skloot writes. “By the 1960s, Henrietta’s cells were everywhere: The general public could grow HeLa at home using instructions from a Scientific American do-it-yourself article.”

Lacks, however, remained largely unknown. When Skloot began her 10-year quest for the woman whose unstoppable cell line had saved millions of lives, HeLa cells had been variously attributed to Helen Lane, Helen Larson, even actress Hedy Lamarr. Given the medical breakthroughs they enabled, one sees why the mystery of Henrietta’s identify and the fate of her family fascinated Skloot. HeLa had helped unlock the secrets of cancer and various viruses and been essential to the development of in vitro fertilization, cloning and gene mapping.

A multibillion-dollar industry had grown from their sale and distribution, yet Lacks’ family had received no financial compensation and virtually no recognition beyond their exploitation by a few journalists. The irony of the Lacks’ marginal economic status and inadequate health care was not lost on Henrietta’s daughter Deborah. “If our mother’s cells done so much for medicine, how come her family can’t afford to see no doctors?” she asked.--Excerpted from an article titled, “Medical

20th Anniversary HELA Conference Brings More Good News About Cancer

(continued from page 2) staff that the first major disclosure of Henrietta Lacks as an African American woman happened there at the Medical school site; and the annual conference has been the impetus for major science from cancer leaders, domestically and worldwide, since 1995.

The ravages of polio, an international pandemic were quelled with the development of the polio vaccine.

The cells from which Dr.George Gey meticulously worked to destroy polio, were from Henrietta Lacks.

Feared as we recently feared Ebola, there was no cure and millions of children, were dying during the early 1940’s from this devastating disease.

Many of us recall people permanently crippled or some who lived by use of the iron lung machines.

When the HELA cells were found to be the right agent for development of the vaccine, Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama became the manufacturing location of trillions of polio vaccines that were distributed throughout the world.

Today, only sporadic cases of polio are recorded and they are all from patients who never received the polio vaccine. “Thank you Henrietta.”

The Hela Conference has made that story known. Uterine cancer, a difficult cancer to diagnose until often late in its progression, was affecting many mothers, celebrities, and professionals.

No one understood this disease and through study and health trials, they learned the disease originates from exposure to HPV, the human papilloma virus.

Through use of HELA cells and many pharmaceutical studies and FDA approval, we finally have Gardasil.

Gardasil is recommended for boys and girls as a regular vaccine that should be given to eliminate HPV. The United States is still behind iin encouraging Gardasil or Cerverix for pre-sex adolescents.

Often religious views exempt the medical science.

But vaccinating young boys and girls are the only way to preclude transmission of HPV, beyond abstinence.

And while teen pregnancies are definitely declining, HPV related cancers of the head, neck and throat are increasing, so we should take another look at HPV vaccines, within the community.

“Thank you, Henrietta”. Uterine cancers are preventable, today.

Currently many studies continue with new pharmaceuticals for

The Weekend Edition/Health&Wellness September 25, 2015 Page 3

many cancers and other diseases.

In fact, most diseases, using HELA cells, now in conjunction with other cells, harvested from patients, with authorizations and signatures, are being studied, chronicled and the data is being shared.

That is the significance of research, major papers and patients agreeing to participate in clinical trials.

Among African Americans, a underlying distrust of clinical trials seems to be dissipating and that is critical in science for while we are all alike, we are sometimes different.

Variables such as lifestyle, age, gender, economic and socio-economic differentials do factor. So, when the opportunity for clinical trials do present themselves it is imperative to investigate fully, ask questions, know the expected outcomes, the length of the studies, how they will use the data collected. These are pertinent questions to ask but also remember it takes research.

The strategies available to most patients today have come on the wings of major clinical trials. And when we are part of those trials, our data has to have impact in the outcomes.

For example, Dr. Vivian Penn, who led the Roland A. Pattillo Annual Lectureship at the 2015 Hela Conference, continued to re-iterate, it is important that women participate in the studies, not just African Americans because women’s participation impact dosage, frequency, and other variables.

Many exciting findings were shared during the

conference, led by Department Chairman, Dr. Roland Matthews and Co-Chair, Dr. Pattillo, Professor Emeritus. Major speakers included: Dr. E. J. Perez-Stable, new Director of the National Institute of Minority Health and Disparities, Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, Deputy Surgeon General, Dr. Otis Brawley, Chief Medical Officer of the American Cancer Society, Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, Georgia State Public Health Commissioner, Dr. Irene Dankwa Mullan, Deputy Director of Extramural Scientific Programs at the National Institute of Minority Health and Disparities; Dr. Lynn Rosenberg, Associate Director of Sloan Epidemiology Center of Boston University School of Public Health, Dr. Rathi Pillai, Asst. Professor of Hematology at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University and Dr. Eva McGhee, Asst. Professor at Charles Drew Medical School.

The Lacks family present included, Mrs Shirley Lacks, the wife of David Lacks, the third child of Henrietta and David Lacks; her daughter Geri Lacks Whyte and her daughters Ayana and Jubraia, and Tony Lacks, the daughter of Lawrence Lacks, Henrietta’s oldest child.

Regrettably Lawrence, David and Zakaryya, her sons, are not well, and could not be present.

Daughters, Deborah and Lucy are deceased. The family is grateful for the legacy that continues to grow and expand.

Women’s ability to take time off work to care for themselves or their families is a health issue

MADISON, WI – The Wisconsin Alliance for Women’s Health (WAWH) applauds state Representative Sondy Pope and state Senator Janis Ringhand for introducing a bill that would create a Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Insurance program.

If enacted, this law would make it possible for Wisconsin workers to take paid time off from work to take care of their own serious health condition, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, or care for a new baby.

“Access to paid family and med-

New Family & Medical Leave Insurance Act Applauded by Women’s Health Advocates

ical leave is an extremely important issue for working women and has a direct impact on their personal health and financial health,” said Sara Finger, WAWH Executive Director. “The burden of our inadequate paid family and medical leave policies falls disproportionately on women, who make up nearly half of the workforce but are still far more likely than men to care for children or other family members who are sick.”

The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t provide workers with any type of guaranteed paid leave.

Nationally, only 12% of workers have paid family leave through their employers and fewer than 40% have personal medical leave through an employer-provided short-term disability program.

As a result, workers who take

Reasons You Should Eat More Like Your Kids Watch how your kids eat to help guide your diet

(Family Features) When parents prepare their kids’ meals, good-for-you foods like veggies, whole grains and milk are usually on the menu.

And while parents encourage healthy eating for their kids at mealtime, they don’t always eat the same foods themselves.

In fact, a recent report from the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) suggests kids may actually have healthier eating habits than adults. Kids ages 2 to 3 scored highest for diet quality, while adults scored significantly lower, according to the latest Healthy Eating Index research.

Look to your kid’s plate for a reminder on how you can make better choices and get more of the nutrients you need. Here are three ideas to get you started: Kids Eat Smaller Portions. One reason kids eat less is because they start with less. Consider making yourself a “kid’s plate” to manage portion sizes. Still hungry? Eat healthy snacks in sensible portions. Snacking may help stave off hunger and prevent overeating at your next meal.

Look for a balanced snack with high-quality protein to help keep you fuller longer.

Kids Drink Milk. Milk accompanies kids’ meals. In fact, children 8 years and younger are the only ones meeting the recommended amount of milk and milk products. According to a study from the Na(continued on page 5)

time off to take care for themselves or their families often face a significant loss of income.

Other states have begun to effectively address this issue. California, New Jersey and Rhode Island have enacted state insurance programs that provide workers with paid family leave.

Even though both the federal and Wisconsin Family Medical Leave Acts (FMLA's) do provide important protections to some workers, a significant portion of the workforce is not eligible for these protections and both FMLA's only provide for unpaid time off, which is not financially possible for many employees.

The Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act will cover far more workers and pro-

vide all eligible workers who need to take a leave from work with paid leave so that they can actually afford to do so.

“If our elected leaders are truly committed to improving the health and economic security of Wisconsin women and their families, they should seize the opportunity presented by this proposal to help ensure that we have a healthy workforce and healthy economy,” added Finger.

For more information and statistics regarding how paid family and medical leave insurance would benefit workers, and women workers in particular, see page 21 of the National Women’s Law Center report Moving Women and Families Forward: a state roadmap to economic justice.

Study: Mediterranean diet cuts breast cancer risk by 62%

Article courtesy of the Los Angeles Times via “The Rundown” The fight against breast cancer may begin in the kitchen. A new study suggests that women can dramatically reduce their risk of the disease by following a version of the Mediterranean diet that goes heavy on extra virgin olive oil.

Data from a large, randomized clinical trial show that women who

After tracking nearly 7,500 people for about five years, the researchers had compelling evidence that those who were on either type of Mediterranean diet had better heart health than their

did so were 62% less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer compared with women who were simply asked to reduce the overall amount of fat in their diets.

The results were published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Three reasons you should eat more like your kids

(continued from page 4) tional Cancer Institute, eight out of 10 adults don’t meet the recommendations of three servings each day. Milk is the top food source of calcium, vitamin D and potassium for both kids and adults – three nutrients identified as nutrients of concern (that is, those most Americans aren’t getting enough of) by the DGAC’s report.

So, missing out on milk likely means missing out on important nutrients your body needs, because research shows it is hard to get enough of these nutrients in your diet without the recommended amounts of milk each day.

Plus, many experts now recommend 25 to 30 grams of protein at each meal. An 8-ounce glass of milk has 8 grams of high-quality protein, so pairing it with your breakfast is a great way to boost the protein power of your morning meal.

Some creative ideas for more “adult ways” to work in milk servings include a Classic Latte, Green Smoothie or a bowl of Hearty Oatmeal made with milk in the morning. For these recipes and more, visit MilkLife.com.

counterparts who weren't. The trial was ended in 2010.

Although the study's main focus was cardiovascular disease, researchers also tracked the incidence of five types of cancer, including breast cancer.

Among the 4,282 women who participated in the trial, there were 35 confirmed cases of invasive breast cancer.

(Cases of ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage 0 breast cancer, were not tracked.)

The risk of being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer was highest for women who were advised to eat less fat - 2.9 cases for every 1,000 person-years.

That compared to a diagnosis rate of 1.8 cases per 1,000 person-years for women who were on the Mediterranean diet with extra nuts and a rate of 1.1 cases per 1,000 person-years for women who were on the Mediterranean diet with additional extra virgin olive oil.

Tips to Keep Your Child with Diabetes Safe at School

The Weekend Edition/Health&Wellness September 25, 2015 Page 7

(Family Features) Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, according to Griffin P. Rodgers, MD, MACP, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Keeping children with diabetes safe during the school day and during school-sponsored activities requires communication and cooperation between the student, their parents or caregivers, the student’s health care team and school staff.

“Nobody knows your child’s day-to-day needs and how to respond to a diabetes emergency better than you,” Rodgers says. “That’s why it is so important to maintain open communication with school staff throughout the school year.”

Parents and school personnel can learn about effective ways to help keep children with diabetes safe by reviewing the National Diabetes Education Program’s (NDEP) Help-

ing the Student with Diabetes Succeed: A Guide for School Personnel. The NDEP is a program of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The NDEP encourages parents of children with diabetes to follow these tips from the School Guide throughout the year.

Take action. Notify the school immediately when your child is diagnosed with diabetes. Share your child’s medical information with school staff and provide up-to-date emergency contact numbers.

Work with your child’s health care team to develop a Diabetes Medical Management Plan. This plan contains the medical orders for your child.

It should be signed by your child’s health care team and submitted to the school nurse at the start of each school year.

An updated plan is needed if there are changes in your child’s diabetes care plan during the year. A sample plan is included in NDEP’s School Guide.

Meet with the school nurse to review your child’s school health care plans. The school nurse will use the medical orders to prepare your child’s routine and emergency dia-

betes care plans at school. You can find samples of these plans in the School Guide. You should also meet with the school nurse and staff to familiarize them with any specialized diabetes equipment that your child uses, such as an insulin (IN-suh-lin) pump and/or continuous glucose monitor (CGM).

Remember to provide written instructions about the use of the equipment and troubleshooting guidelines.

Provide the school with all supplies, medicines, and items needed to carry out your child’s health care and emergency plans.

These supplies may include blood sugar (glucose) testing items, supplies for taking insulin, urine and blood ketone testing, snacks, quick-acting glucose products, and a glucagon (GLOO-kuh-gon) kit.

New National Movement Unites Stroke Survivors

The Weekend Edition/Health&Wellness September 25, 2015 Page 8

(Family Features) Never before has there been a way for the nearly 6.5 million stroke survivors in the United States to rally together as they travel the path to recovery.

Unlike other survivor communities, there is no banner, symbol or color that survivors and the general public can identify with when it comes to stroke and stroke recovery.

That is changing with the launch

of National Stroke Association’s Come Back Strong initiative, the first national movement to rally for stroke recovery. It was created to inspire hope following a stroke, so those survivors now have a voice.

“This is a history-making moment for the stroke community,” said Matt Lopez, CEO of National Stroke Association.

“Survivors and their caregivers have been asking for a unified message, a symbol, a color to

TEARS OF JOY: Crying at the movies can make you feel better Article courtesy of The Cheat Sheet via “The Rundown”

In our macho-revering world, the idea of men showing excessive emotion is rarely acceptable. On the contrary, guys are supposed to be constantly composed. And even if you're internally freaking out, you better not show it by shedding a tear. Well these stereotypical masculine norms are now being challenged by a new study published in Motivation and Emotion. According to researchers, having a good cry can have it's health perks.

In a recent study conducted at the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, researcher Asmir Gračanin observed both the immediate and delayed effects of crying on subjects' mood.

In the experiment, subjects were shown classic tear-inducing movies, La vita è bella and Hachi: A Dog's Tale. Of the 60 participants, 28 cried and 32 did not.

Following the screening, they were asked to assess their mood, first immediately, then 20 minutes, and finally 90 minutes after. Unsurprisingly, the non-criers didn't experience a change in mood after the event.

Contrastingly the participants who cried felt really low after the films. But within 20 minutes, their moods returned to their pre-film level. After 90 minutes, those who cried actually had a higher mood than they did before the films.

So what did this tell researchers? According to Gračanin, "After the initial deterioration of mood following crying, it takes some time for the mood not only to recover but also to be lifted above the levels at which it had been before the emotional event," reports Springer.

This could be due to the fact that the drop in emotion followed by a return to equilibrium may make people feel like they're in a much better mood after they've shed a few tears. But the researchers of this study are pretty sure that having a good cry is ultimately beneficial in coping with and moving past an emotionally stressful event.

So the next time you feel that welling from behind your tear ducts (even if it's just because the ending of Marley & Me really got to you) don't be afraid to let a few slide. Not only is it totally fine for a dude to cry, but science has proven it's important for emotional health and well-being.

support them as they come back strong from stroke.

“As a stroke survivor myself, I understand the desire to return to our normal selves that drives stroke survivors forward. Come Back Strong serves as a starting point to hope that one day people everywhere will understand what a stroke is, how to avoid one and the real opportunity that exists to come back strong after stroke.”

The movement, created to raise awareness about the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States, is centered on a blue return symbol. Intentionally left open, it represents the drive for stroke survivors to come back strong and return to their former self, or a new normal. The reality of stroke survivors is a story of sudden and shocking loss followed by a return to hope for recovery. In the aftermath of a stroke, recovery is about getting back to normal life and living as independently as possible.

“Since my stroke in 2005, I’ve learned to walk again, talk again, even swallow again,” said Mark McEwen, former national TV morning show host. “As I got stronger, I got busy and discovered a whole community of stroke survivors and caregivers.

“But throughout my recovery journey, there was always something gnawing at me. Whenever I saw a yellow wristband or distinctive ribbon, I thought, ‘Why not us?’ The Come Back Strong movement changes that. This, finally, is for us. It’s important and powerful, and will raise stroke awareness in a hugely impactful way.”
