Greetings, and welcome to MD News Greater Kansas. Symptoms of chronic pain can aggravate physical and mental conditions and contribute to high healthcare costs and lost productivity. In our cover feature, learn how clinicians at Advanced Pain Medicine Associates in Wichita go beyond treating chronic pain symptoms by finding the source of the pain and targeting that pain generator with the most appropriate therapy. Our clinical section about oncology evaluates the need for more cardio-oncologists to address treatment-related heart conditions among cancer patients, and our clinical section on gastroenterology includes a review of research that challenges observational studies associating the use of proton pump inhibitors with myriad health risks. We also present a broad spectrum of statistics about gastroenterology as well. Other articles in this information-packed issue welcome a new physician to Surgical Specialists PA and discuss plans for the proposed osteopathic school in Wichita. You'll also learn about the expanding CyberKnife Center at Ascension Via Christi and how the clinical community oncology program led by Ascension Via Christi is now part of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. Lastly, I'd like to officially welcome Patti McDermott to our team! Patti is a former MD News Publisher out of Texas who has since relocated to the Wichita area. She brings a slew of knowledge and experience to our staff and will be in charge of sales and client development.
