Will Rogers Foundation Makes Big Donation to Children's Hospital
A big thanks to the Will Rogers Motion Pictures Pioneers Foundation for its award of a $35,000 grant to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital.
The grant has enabled Children’s Hospital to acquire a Servo I ventilator with Neurally Assisted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA). The equipment allows premature infants to drive their own ventilation.
“This novel technology is designed to reduce injury in tiny infants,” said Dr. T. Allen Merritt, pediatric neonatologist, who submitted the grant proposal to Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation.
The Toluca Lake-based foundation, named after the famous cowboy and film star, supports people in the motion picture industry during times of need, as well as supports programs for children’s pulmonary health.
“One of the primary missions of the Will Rogers Institute is to promote healthcare issues; there is no better way to do that than to help Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital,” said Branden Miller, board member and neonatal committee member of the foundation.
“This is especially important to me, as I know firsthand of the great work that is done here. My daughter, Olivia, was a preemie born at 28 weeks, who spent the first four-and-a-half months of her life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. We are eternally grateful to the hospital and their amazing staff,” he said.
Please help us in welcoming wonderful new physicians who are eager to meet patients at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
The Department of Surgery is pleased to welcome general surgeon, Dr. Jacqueline Carter Gustafson. Dr. Carter received her medical school education at Loma Linda University. She went on to complete her general surgery training at Loma Linda University Medical Center and East Carolina University/Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Her clinical areas of interest include: General Surgery and surgical education. Dr. Carter is an exceptional surgeon whose addition will bring great value to our institution.

Washington DC Fertility Specialist Dr. Suheil Muasher on Minimal ...
Board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist Dr. Suheil Muasher is a world-renowned authority on In Vitro Fertilization or IVF , with over 28 years of clinical experience in diagnosing and treating infertility. In a recent article appearing in Fertility and Sterility, Dr. Muasher discusses the latest research concerning the increased effectiveness of minimal stimulation IVF , and the related benefits of this procedure compared to more aggressive and costly methods.
With more than 28 years of clinical experience in treating infertility , board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Suheil Muasher recently published an article on the potential benefits of minimal stimulation IVF to the medical journal of the American Society For Reproductive Medicine, Fertility and Sterility. In the article, Dr. Muasher compares the latest research on success rates of existing IVF methodologies, including minimal and mild stimulation IVF, as well as the driving factors behind his belief that more fertility clinics in the U. S. should offer minimal stimulation to their patients.
Minimal stimulation IVF uses oral fertility medications and low dose injectable hormones, while mild stimulation uses low dose injectable medications. While the article discusses both methods, Dr. Muasher says minimal stimulation is a better option because it not only reduces the overall costs and stress affecting all patients, but also presents significant advantages for all infertility patients but specially to low and high responders when compared to conventional methods of stimulation.
In the article, “Mild/Minimal Stimulation for In Vitro Fertilization: an old idea that needs to be revisited,” Dr. Muasher says both mild and minimal stimulation for IVF were initially abandoned for a more aggressive approach to assisted reproduction and fertility , which was believed to increase pregnancy rates. However, he emphasizes that current research and the overall impact on the patient no longer validates this way of thinking: “With improvements in all aspects of IVF methodology and transferring one or two eggs for most patients, the aggressive approach is no longer essential and has significant drawbacks in terms of cost, stress, and increased complications for some patients.
