Creating innovative health solutions for individuals and populations

Creating innovative health solutions for individuals and populations

The factors impacting successful patient care are many and varied. Early diagnosis, proper adherence to prescription medication schedules, and effective monitoring and management of chronic disease, for example, all contribute to better outcomes. However, each of these factors can be hindered by outside influences — medication doesn’t work as well if it isn’t taken as prescribed, and disease can be missed or misdiagnosed in early stages if symptoms are mild or not present.

Giovanni Traverso, the Karl Van Tassel Career Development Professor, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, and a gastroenterologist in the Division of Gastroenterology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), is working on a variety of innovative solutions to improve patient care. As a physician and an engineer, he brings a unique perspective.

“Bringing those two domains together is what really can help transform and accelerate our capacity to develop new biomedical devices or new therapies for a range of conditions,” he says. “As physicians, we’re extremely fortunate to be able to help individuals. As scientists and engineers, not only can we help individuals … we can help populations.”

Traverso found a passion for this work early in life. His family lived in his father’s native Peru through much of his childhood, but left in the late 1980s at the height of the nation’s political instability, emigrating to Canada, where he began high school.

“In high school, I had the incredible opportunity to actually spend time in a lab,” he says. “I really fell in love with molecular genetics. I loved the lab environment and that ability to investigate a very specific problem, with the hopes that those developments would eventually help people.”

He started medical school immediately after high school, attending the University of Cambridge, but paused his medical training to pursue a PhD in medical sciences at Johns Hopkins University before returning to Cambridge. After completing medical school, he completed internal medicine residency at BWH and his gastroenterology fellowship training at Massachusetts General Hospital, both at Harvard Medical School. For his postdoctoral research, he transitioned to the fields of chemical and biomedical engineering in the laboratory of Professor Robert Langer.

Traverso’s research interests today include biomedical device development, ingestible and implantable robotics, and drug delivery for optimal drug adherence. His academic home at MIT is in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, but his work integrates multiple domains, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, and synthetic biology.

“The mechanical engineering department is a tremendous place to engage with students, as well as faculty, towards the development of the next generation of medical devices,” he says. “At the core of many of those medical devices are fundamental mechanical principles.”

Traverso’s team in the Laboratory for Translational Engineering is developing pioneering biomedical devices such as drug delivery systems to enable safe, efficient delivery of therapeutics, and novel diagnostic tests to support early detection of diseases.

The heart of his work, he says, is “about trying to help others. Patients, of course, but also students, to help them see the arc of bench-to-bedside and help stimulate their interest in careers applying engineering to help improve human health.”

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to the accumulation of excess fat in the liver, not linked to alcohol intake. It commonly affects those who are overweight or obese. Although initial stages of NAFLD might not produce significant symptoms, the condition can advance to severe liver issues, including cirrhosis, if it is not properly addressed. This overview covers essential aspects of NAFLD, including its prevalence, risk factors, stages, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

Heartburn vs. GERD vs. APD: Understanding the Differences

Digestive issues are common, but distinguishing between similar symptoms can be challenging. Heartburn, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), and APD (Acid Peptic Disorders) are often confused due to overlapping symptoms. Here, we break down the key differences to help you understand and manage these conditions effectively.

1. Heartburn:

Definition: Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest, often behind the breastbone, caused by stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus.

Symptoms: Burning chest pain, often after eating or at night, regurgitation of acidic or bitter-tasting fluid into the throat.

Causes: Weakening of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which normally prevents stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.

Triggers: Spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, obesity, pregnancy.

Treatment: Antacids for immediate relief, lifestyle changes (elevating the head of the bed, avoiding trigger foods), medications to reduce acid production (H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors).

Complications: Occasional heartburn is common and usually harmless, but frequent or severe heartburn can indicate GERD.

2. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease):

Definition: GERD is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, leading to complications.

Symptoms: Persistent heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma-like symptoms.

Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, medical history, and tests such as endoscopy, pH monitoring, or esophageal manometry.

Complications: Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), Barrett's esophagus (precancerous changes in the esophagus), strictures (narrowing of the esophagus), respiratory problems.

Treatment: Lifestyle changes (diet modification, weight loss, avoiding trigger foods), medications (proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers), surgery (fundoplication) in severe cases.

3. APD (Acid Peptic Disorders):

Definition: APD is a group of conditions characterized by an imbalance between acid production and the protective mechanisms of the stomach and duodenum.

Types: Peptic ulcer disease (ulcers in the stomach or duodenum), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Symptoms: Abdominal pain, bloating, belching, nausea, vomiting, heartburn.

Causes: H. pylori infection, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), stress, smoking, alcohol.

Diagnosis: Based on symptoms, medical history, endoscopy, stool tests, or breath tests for H. pylori.

Treatment: Antibiotics for H. pylori eradication, acid-suppressing medications, antacids, lifestyle modifications.

In Conclusion: Heartburn, GERD, and APD share common symptoms but differ in terms of severity, frequency, and potential complications. While occasional heartburn is normal, persistent symptoms should not be ignored. Consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management plan tailored to your condition. Managing these conditions effectively can improve your quality of life and prevent complications.
