- Barbara McInnis RN - was a pioneer of the Boston nursing field in caring for and treating homeless patients. She mentored founding physician and now president of Boston Healthcare for the Homeless, Jim O’Connell MD. In 1985, the organization opened the first medical respite facility in the nation–a safe place for patients experiencing homelessness to recover from short-term injuries, illnesses, and hospital stays. It was named the Barbara McInnis House. Of McInnis, O’Connell has stated, “Barbara was - she really was my hero. She was a nurse who was devoted to doing this. She was self-described very dumpy, frumpy, I guess is what she was oft to say. She had a very high-pitched, squealy voice, but was just genuine, down-to-earth. And she had no pretenses, said what was on her mind. And she got to know what I would consider virtually every homeless person in Boston back in the 1960s, '70s and '80s. And she commanded huge respect, precisely because she never took a title. She was proud of being a nurse. That's what she wanted to be. But she didn't supervise anyone, didn't want to run any programs. And she was magic. Whenever I was in trouble and needed to get someone to really come in because I was worried about their - this spot in their lung that was probably cancer, I could always go to Barbara. And Barbara would come in, somehow coax that person in with us because she had such command of that. And then when the day was over, we would go and, you know, have - I remember her favorite spot is Doyle's Pub in - which is a neighborhood pub in Jamaica Plain, where we all lived at that time, a part of Boston. And we'd have beer on Friday nights, or else she would insist we go watch "Miami Vice," which was her favorite program. It was just ridiculous. And I just look back on those days and realize those discussions were fabulous. She was - admired Mother Teresa, but she realized that she was no saint herself. She had too many flaws. And I started to realize wait a minute, I think maybe she is the real saint here and have always felt that. Barbara and the nurses I think just - just showed me a way of taking care of people that I had not learned when I was in the hospital or in the medical schools because we were - we were being asked to do something completely different. But Barbara just learned how to say if you're going to reach this population, you've got to just slow down, you have to get to know them, you've got to take care. And it was a revelation to me. And then every way along the line, when I needed to figure something out, I could always go to Barbara. And she had been through it all. I remember one night I was struggling. Some man had come in - this is early on - some man had come in and said he was going to kill himself. And I was in the shelter clinic. And I - that's an alarm for all of us in medicine, so I didn't know the quickest way to get him help. So I went over - went outside and asked Barbara to come in. Barbara came in, and she looked at the man and she said, so what's going on? He said well, I'm going to kill myself. And she said well, we don't accept talk like that here in the clinic. If you want to talk like that, please go outside in the alley and talk to whoever you want about it, but we don't talk like that. And I was horrified that you don't do that. And then as I learned later, Barbara had known this man for years, knew exactly where he was coming from. She knew how to handle him. And in fact, all he was looking for was some reassurance and that people knew him, and that was the way out. And I started to realize there's many, many ways to take care of homeless people, and the best ones are based on who knows that person best and who knows how to handle them best. And Barbara was constantly teaching us that.” She died in 2003 from complications from a car accident.

- Mark Pimentel, MD--Author of A New IBS Solution. Researched, published and pioneered the concept that IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, afflicting up to 60 million Americans and an equivalent number in countries around the world, is caused by SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgowth. SIBO describes the growth of bacteria that are normally present in the colon growing in the small intestine. When you eat foods with certain types of fiber, this can feed the bacteria and cause gas and bloating and either constipation and/or diarrhea. A breathe test can be used to detect hydrogen and/or methane gases given off by these bacteria and treatment is often successful with a special diet and an antibiotic that tends to act locally in the gut, Rifaximin. Dr. Pimentel is the director of the GI Motility Lab and program at Cedars-Sinai medical center in Los Angeles. He has published and continues to research and publish hundreds of papers in peer reviewed scientific journals.((Sources: [192]; [193]; [194])

Ryan is recognized for his work related to the development of new treatments for advanced prostate cancer, as well as supportive care for men with the disease. Ryan, while working at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), was the principal cancer research investigator for the development of abiraterone acetate, sold under the brand name Zytiga among others, as treatment for men diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) without prior chemotherapy. A new medication proved effective in slowing the spread of metastatic prostate cancer, while helping to maintain the quality of life, in patients with advanced disease. The drug was so effective in slowing the spread of metastatic prostate cancer, that those taking the placebo during trials were taken off placebo and given the drug. The treatment is now considered standard of care therapy in multiple forms of advanced prostate cancer that has been administered to hundreds of thousands of prostate cancer patients worldwide. Abiraterone is already used to treat advanced prostate cancer in cases where it has spread to other parts of the body or has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. These trials have shown that using it at an earlier stage, from diagnosis, could be beneficial for patients.
