opening remarks

Te Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services reported thattotal health care spending in the United States for 2009 topped$2.5 trillion. Te Centers for Disease Control and Preventionestimate that more than 75% of national health care spendingis applied to the treatment of chronic diseases, many of whichcould be prevented with proper care. Te researchers andclinicians of Ohio State recognize that a new approach tomedicine is needed to make our health care system nancially

sustainable and improve the quality of life for every American.

Te Ohio State University Medical Center is transforminghealth care delivery from its current reactive, or sick care,model to a proactive one that applies advances in genomics and

molecular diagnostic discoveries, making health care morepredictive, preventive, personalized, and participatoryor what we refer to as P4 Medicine. P4 Medicineincorporates predictive information, such as a personsgenetic, environmental, and behavioral risk factors, aswell as his or her beliefs and values, in the creation ofpersonalized disease-management plans. Tis changein focus will lead to the development of health-management tools and therapies that help preventdisease rather than treat its complications. P4 Medicinealso encourages people to become active partners andparticipate in their health care decisions.

Only when patients are truly engaged in their health caretransformation can we signi cantly improve outcomes

and reduce health care spending. We are committed tocreating the future of medicine through personalized

health care. With innovation in research, education, andpatient care, we wi ll improve peoples lives.

In this issue ofOhio State Impact, you will learn aboutinnovative ways that Ohio State helps the people of ourcommunity, the state, and beyond. Tan ks to donor support,

emergency response teams now are equipped with lifesavingtechnology, enabling them to provide care on site for thosesuering the most serious type of heart attack. Former OhioState football coach Earle Bruce has taken a role to raise fundsfor Alzheimers research, a disease that claimed the lives of hisfather and a sister. And, with autism now aecting one millionchildren in the United States, Marci and Bill Ingram havestepped up in a major way to support research eorts for this

disorder. Many of the exceptional ways Ohio State impacts ourworld begin with the generosity and private support of donors.

facts & stats

Richard rott loved his alma mater. He studied architecture andgraduated from Ohio State in 1961. He passed on his passion forall things Buckeye to his children, who fondly recall how eachfootball season they took turns going with their father to gamesat the Shoe.

I remember every game my da d and I went to together, said hisdaughter, Kara rott. Especially vivid are the ones where he gotso excited that hed playfully punch you on the arm.

Richard was a par tner in rott and Bean Architects Inc., anaward-winning design rm in Columbus that was instrumentalin creating the Wexner Center for the Arts. Using his renownedentrepreneurial spirit and architectural talents, he made his markon Columbus and the architectural industry.

He was at the peak of his career and was venturing beyond morecommercial buildings to exciting, seminal buildings like theWexner Center and the Columbus Convention Center, said Kara.He was full of life and excitement.

Ten, at 48, Richard learned he had colon cancer. Surgery helpedfor a time, but the disease spread to his liver. He asked Kara,who was in her second year of law school at Ohio State, to help

plan his legacy.

One of his constant wishes was honoring his relationshipwith Ohio State, she said. He had already designated i nhis will a substantial bequest, but he wanted to establish anendowed professorship to complement his teaching at the Schoolof Architecture.

Te establishment of the Richard W. rott 61 DistinguishedVisiting Professorship was a tting legacy on many levels.Whether as a client, a member of the rm, or a student in one ofhis graduate design studios, Richard shared his knowledge, histalent, and his philosophical take on life with humble enthusiasm.

I have had the privilege of working with many of the rottvisiting professors, said Karla rott, Richards widow, a two-timeOhio State alumna who teaches at the Austin E. Knowlton Schoolof Architecture. Tis is truly a wonderful thread of continuityand continuance of the numerous gis he gave to the architectureprograms at Ohio State.

Following his passing in March 1990, Ohio State planted a treein his memory on the Oval across from the Wexner Center. Itsthe same spot where Kara chose to have a picture taken aer shegraduated from law school.

Tese days, Kara is a successful entrepreneur as founder and chiefexecutive ocer of Quantum Health of Columbus. Her husband,Randy Gebhardt, also earned two degrees at Ohio State and serves

as president and chief operating ocer of the company. WithKarla, they collectively carry on Richards legacy through theprofessorship and as members of the Presidents Club. Kara hasalso assumed a role on the Presidents Club Advisory Board.

Although she and her husband each have g reat memories of OhioState through their years on campus, Kara said the emotionalconnection to campus through her father is the most intense.I can still hear my fathers voice by listening to the audiotaperecording of the tour of the Wexner Center opening, she said.Whenever Im at Ohio State, I feel my fathers spirit andhis love of the university.

cover story

Nearly 50 years ago, Leslie Wexner graduated from Te OhioState University and, with a degree in business administrationin hand, he built the world-famous Limited Brands from theground up. He has undeniably made an impact on CentralOhio, its business community and citizensand, withoutquestion, on the university.

In 1962, three years aer g raduating from Ohio State, hisleadership and unmatched level of generosity began with a giof $5. Hes given to the university every year since. He helpedto establish the Wexner Center for the Arts, which wa s namedfor his father. With his wife, Abigail, he provided major gisto the Fisher College of Business and funded the Les WexnerFootball Complex at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center andthe Wexner Family Auditorium for the College of VeterinaryMedicine. Teir support also helped to renovate PizzutiHouse, the residence of the university president; endow a lawprofessorship in memory of John C. Elam; and establish theJames Fund for Life.

Tis February, Wexner created one of the most transformativemoments in Ohio States history. He stood before 400 students,faculty, and sta at the U.S. Bank Conference Teatre i nthe Ohio Union to give news that was heard around theglobe. With Abigail and the Li mited Brands Foundation, heannounced a $100 million commitment to the university, oneof the largest gis to higher education in Ohio. Tat includes$65 million from the Wexners and $35 million from LimitedBrands Foundation.

Tis gi will primarily benet Te Ohio State UniversityMedical Center and the Comprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. SoloveResearch Institute. It will also benet the Wexner Center forthe Arts and other university initiatives, still to be determined.Te Wexners plan to continue making annual gis to areasthey have consistently supported at Ohio State.

Ive always believed that you have to do good while doingwell, Wexner said. Its not enough to succeed in business.You have to give back. Ohio States Medical Center and TeJames do critically important work. My hope is this gi canhelp save lives, and maybe even help to cure cancer.

Wexner credits Columbus with giving his family roots. HisRussian immigrant parents set up shop downtown in 1951as the owners of Leslies, a womens clothing store. His fathertaught him about hard work and attention to detail, while hismother encouraged him that anything is possible, i ncluding acollege education. While pursuing his undergraduate studies

Pleased with his care, Clayton asked his wife to return the generositto Ohio State in the future. She is now making good on that promisto her late husband by funding the Phyllis A. Jones Legacy Park onthe west lawn in front of the hospital thats now under constructionat Cannon Drive and 12th Avenue.

Phyllis recalls the toll that spending countless hours at the hospitalcan take on family and friends. For this reason, she decided to builda peaceful garden that oers solace and a bit of comfort. Te parkwill include an outdoor area for patients and visitors, as well as achildrens play area.

Te Legacy Park seems like a restful addition to me, and itssomething everybody can enjoy, she said of the project. Jones livesin Powell, Ohio, and is the former president and CEO of FiestaSalons, having sold the nearly 200-store chain in 2007.

Ohio State has been awarded $100 million in federal funds insupport of Te Ohio State University Medical Center expansion.Tis will allow for the addition of radiation oncology and associatedcancer services to be an integral part of Te Ohio State UniversityComprehensive Cancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospitaland Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC James), slated toopen in 2014. With the grant, OSUCCC James will have the abilityto serve more cancer patients, as well as unify clinical care, research,and education on each oor.

By providing funding for expanded access to leading-edgecancer treatments at OSUCCC James, the federal government isunderscoring the critical need to win the war against cancer andput an end to a disease that has cost us dearly, said Dr. MichaelCaligiuri, director and CEO of OSUCCC James. By expandingOhio States facilities, we are moving closer to a cancer-free world.

When completed, Ohio States Medical Center expansion project willinclude a new cancer hospital, critical care tower, outpatient center,research laboratories, and classrooms. As a result, the state economywill add 10,000 jobs that will help to attract the best and brighteststudents, doctors, and scientists to Ohio.

Dr. Steven Gabbe, CEO of OSUMC, credits Dr. David Schuller forsubmitting the universitys application for the grant and Battelle forproviding valuable advice and guidance. Te funds were disbursedby the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and awardedthrough a competitive grant program created by the PatientProtection and Aordable Care Act of 2010.

Tis expansion will allow us to make the excellent care we providetoday even more accessible to more Ohioans, Gabbe said. It giveshope to the patients and families who come to us for advanced care.It gives hope to students who will be able to experience the future ofhealth care delivery in a 21st century environment. And it promotes

an atmosphere of collaboration for researchers and clinicians who arecreating the building blocks for personalized health care.

A Park for Reection and HealingIts been 20 years since Clayton Jones was diagnosed with lung cancerand spent six weeks at Te Ohio State University ComprehensiveCancer Center Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J.Solove Research Institute. He was one of the rst patients treatedthere.

he 1950s, Wexner walked by Mershon Auditorium one day, thender construction, and was intrigued that someone would giveh a large gi to make the building possible.

nks to his professors and through his studies, he discoveredworld of business, art, and city planning. Trough his campuseriences, he formed his p ersonal philosophy around family,

mmunity, responsibility, and ethics.

xner currently serves as chairman, president, and CEO ofmited Brands, Inc. He serves on the Wexner Center Foundationard and is in his second term on Te Ohio State University Boardrustees, serving as chairman. He was also a founding member of

Ohio State University Foundation and its rst chairman.

e all have a responsibility to the community and to ourselves touseful and productive lives, ethical lives, moral lives, to do the

ht thing, he said. What Ive thought about over the years is that responsibility can be denied. No one comes to our door ands what weve done. It comes from within, an internal place where put time and money toward change. Tats an act of leadership.

io State President E. Gordon Gee describes Wexners life as theerican dream. Les came from humble origins and went on to

succeed beyond anyones imagination, he said. He has done so muchfor this community, for this university, for us all.

Wexner considers the universitys long history to be inspiring. OhioState was there before I began my education and it would be thereaer I le. I was the beneciary of things that happened almost 100years before, he said. A lot of people cared over a period of years, ofdecades, about building the institution. I beneted from their care.

He believes in making life choices carefully. What outside ofourselves do we choose to invest in? he asks. Its important to thinkabout those responsibilities. Were all beneciaries and we haveresponsibilities to share those blessings. Its a part of life.

Today, we celebrate Les Wexners commitment to this university,o his unwavering optimism in the power of public education.

By capitalizing on advanced communication technologylike EKGtransmissions to BlackBerrysand forging solid relationships andprocesses with our community, the EMS has led to profound reductions inthe time needed to treat heart attack patients in Central Ohio.

Dr. Vincent J. PompiliDirector, Interventional Cardiovascular MedicineProessor o Internal Medicine

The speed at which a patient receives treatment for a heart attack can

mean the difference between life or death. Because the heart musclesand other tissue throughout the body must receive oxygen withoutinterruption, every second is critical. For the most serious type ofheart attack, known as S-segment elevation myocardial infarction(SEMI), the right diagnosis and rapid treatment are evenmore important.

o make this a priority, Ohio States Richard M. Ross Heart Hospitalhas developed a multidisciplinary, in-hospital SEMI alert team toimprove rapid access to treatment for this dicult patient group.Te resulting integrated approach combines the expertise of regionalEMS and the Ross Heart Hospital for around-the-clock patient care.

Aer a patient has experienced a heart attack, its critical for them toget to the cardiac catheterization lab and have the blockage cleared,said Sharon Hammond, RN, Ohio States SEMI nurse coordinator.With our SEMI program, we initiate action by sta who arecritical to evaluating and treating heart attack patients. Tis reducesthe door-to-balloon time.

Te national standard set by the American College of Cardiology andthe American Heart Association for clearing a blocked artery oncethe patient enters a hospitalor door-to-balloon (D2B) timeis 90minutes. Ohio States D2B averages 52 minutes, while the currentrecord is an impressive 40 minutes.

Te lifesaving procedures are possible through a signicant gimade in 2008 to the Ross Heart Hospital. Te private supportoers EMS agencies the technology to transmit echocardiograms,or EKGs, directly from the eld to the emergency department andinto the hands of a cardiologist. By transmitting this informationand calling a SEMI alert, EMS personnel notify the interventionalcardiology team.

In addition, the gi provides training to EMS providers throughoutthe state. When a 12-lead EKG is transmitted to Ohio State and apatient is identied as a SEMI, an average of 25 minutes can be

saved in bypassing emergency, Hammond said. Tis ultimatelysaves vital heart muscle.

So far, 107 EMS vehicles in Franklin, Logan, and Fayette countieshave been outtted with the necessary equipment to transmitEKGs. Te gis full impact, however, may be dicult to evaluatesince patients receive care at the nearest hospital to shave o crucialseconds. What we do know is that this technology is helping to

save lives not just at Te Ohio State University Medical Center, butbecause of Ohio States Medical Center, she said.

New Hands-Only CPRFor 50 years, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involving mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest compressions has been the goldstandard for keeping people alive aer a sudden cardiac arrest.Dr. Michael Sayre, associate professor of Emergency Medicine atTe Ohio State University Medical Center, has co-authored new2010 CPR guidelines, based on ndings that victims oen didnt getenough chest compressions.

Te studies found the average person spent more time than anticipatedshiing from the breathing portion of CPR to the chest compressions.Also, paramedics or physicians would oen get involved withperforming other techniques, such as checking pulses and heartrhythms or giving medications, and divert their attention away fromthe number of chest compressions.

Updated CPR guidelines increased the number of chest compressions,which improved cardiac arrest survival rates in many cities, includingColumbus, from about 5% to 10%. More interesting, Sayre said,were studies that showed survival rates were about the same whetherthe rescuer performed only chest compressions or combined chestcompressions and mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Because of this, the American Heart Association decided that everyonecan help with Hands-Only CPR, even if they had never been trainedin CPR. Te process to change from A-B-C (Airway-Breathing-Compressions) to C-A-B (Compressions-Airway-Breathing)with thesecond and third steps reserved for those who have CPR trainingunderwent intense scrutiny before it was adopted.

We needed to emphasize the importance to professional and layrescuers of chest compressions, Sayre said. So we adopted the C-A-Bapproach, ensuring that all victims will get chest compression rightaway, that even untrained rescuers can provide Hands-Only CPR, andthat professional rescuers will realize that chest compressions are themost important part of CPR.

Now that Hands-Only CPR has been formally ad opted, the processof educating millions of people to do things dierently is under way.New courses and materials are available this spring from the AmericanHeart Association.

While the rst steps of care for a person who collapses suddenly

remain to call 9-1-1 and send someone to get an automated external

debrillator, rescuers should then begin Hands-Only CPR. Tenew process is easier to perform, and people are much more willingto do it, Sayre said.

And that translates to more lives being saved.

Rescuers not trained in CPR are now encouraged to use a hands-onlytechnique because compressions are the most vital aspect of CPR. TheAmerican Heart Association is promoting this information through coursesand materials.

A new wireless monitor that detects uid build up in the lungs of heart failure patients is a major breakthrough in heart failure management.

Access to clean water has been a topic ofdiscussion in Felipe Morenos classes atOhio State. Morenoan environmentalpolicy and management major planning tograduate in Juneembarked on a six-weektrip to Peru that helped him understand theproblem rsthand.

One of the locals told me its been a 25-yearbattle trying to get some type of water accessto the town of Cerro Blanco, Moreno said.

He traveled to Peru through Ohio Statesstudent chapter of Nourish International, anational group that calls on college studentsto help solve global poverty throughvolunteerism. Over the last year, the OhioState chapter raised money for equipment fora clean water pipeline and reservoir in CerroBlanco, then went to South America to helpPeruvian villagers complete the project.

the absorption of important nutrients intothe body. Undiagnosed and untreated,celiac disease can lead to the developmentof other autoimmune disorders, as wellas osteoporosis, infertility, neurologicalconditions, and in rare cases, cancer.

Where is gluten found? Some foods areobvious, such as regular pasta, cereals,snack foods, cookies, salad dressings, andeven beer. Less obvious are processedfoods, some medications and vitamins,and non-foods like stamps and envelopes,lip balm and lipstick, and even toothpaste.While there are increasing numbers of safeoptions for gluten-containing products,diligence is needed to scan ingredient lists.

Te Ohio State University Center forIntegrative Medicine oers a variety of free

community education courses, includingan introduction to nutritional principlesin integrated health. For establishedpatients of the center, Dr. Glen Aukermanconducts a monthly workshop that focuseson strategies for becoming and stayinggluten free.

Moreno said the trip changed him. In thepast, many villagers used dirty water fromthe canals, a fact he found disturbing. Ivetaken more of an i nterest in internationalservice and issues aecting developingcountries, he said.

In Peru, the group worked alongsidelocalsdigging into the mountain to buildthe foundation of the reservoir and layingcement before they le the project in thehands of community members. Moreno plansto return to the country aer g raduation.

Nico Mata, chapter president of NourishInternational, said the g roups teamwork iswhat makes the experience specia l. We workwith communities to nd something thatsgoing to be sustainable and work for themsomething that they thought of, somethingthat we can help them with, something that

they believe with their own intuition andhard work, is going to work, explainedthe zoology major, who plans to go tomedical school.

When Mata came to Ohio State, NourishInternational didnt exist. Ive always beenvery service-driven. Coming to college, I walooking for a group to get involved in, a wayto do service, he said.

Trough classes, Mata met the groupsfounder, Mackenzie Rapp, and becameimmersed in helping Rapp build the group.

It was very easy for us to nd a bunchof members, and now our group is goingreally strong, he said. Tats one of thegreat things about Ohio State. With 50,000students here, you can nd people who haveyour interests.

When they werent working, the studentssaw ruins such as Machu Picchu and learnedabout South American culture.

Ive always wanted to learn about othercultures and see how other people lived, sothis was a wonderful experience for me,said Teresa Schmidt, a junior majoring inanthropology. For her, seeing archaeologicalsites was a highlight. It was an amazing placto go because so much history is there.

oom lights late into the night may put you atsk for depression, sleep disorders, and weight

ain. Ohio State research adds to the growing

vidence in both animals and people that

xposure to even dim lights at night can lead toll sorts of negative health consequences.

Hamsters exposed to dim light every night for

ight weeks showed signicant changes in a

art of the brain called the hippocampus. This

he exposure to dim light also caused miceo gain nearly 50% more weight and have a

educed glucose tolerance than mice given

ight hours of darkness daily. This indicates a

rediabetic state, a condition that the Centers forDisease Control and Prevention predict will affect

ne in three Americans by 2050.

Randy Nelson, co-author of the study and Ohio

tate professor of neuroscience and psychology,

onsiders the results signicant because theighttime light used in the study was not

elevision on in a darkened room.

A Spoonful of SugarA spoonful of sugar may be enough to cool a hot temper, at least for a short time,

according to new research. A study found that people who drank a glass of lemonade

sweetened with sugar acted less aggressively toward a stranger a few minutes laterthan people who consumed lemonade with a sugar substitute. Researchers believe it

all has to do with the glucose, a simple sugar found in the bloodstream that provides

energy for the brain. Avoiding aggressive impulses takes self control, and self control

takes a lot of energy. Glucose provides that energy in the brain, said Brad Bushman,

co-author of the study and Ohio State professor of communication and psychology.

Couple Conictand ChildrenParents who each take an active role in

caring for their preschool children may face

more conict than those families with mom

overseeing these duties. Couples in whichthe father spent more time playing with the

children had a stronger, more supportive co-

parenting relationship. When the father helped

with such tasks as preparing meals for thechildren and giving baths, the couples offered

less support to each other and undermined

the others efforts.

Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan, co-author of the

study and associate professor of humandevelopment and family science at Ohio

State, said the results show that each couple

has to decide which way works best when itcomes to taking care of their children. Thereis more than one path to an effective co-

parenting relationship, she said. Effective

co-parenting is not necessarily synonymous

with equally sharing caregiving duties.

The study included 112 couples from

the Midwest, most married and raising a

4-year-old. The results held true even when

comparing dual and single-income families,as well as other demographic factors like a

fathers education and work hours, family

income, family size, and the length of the

couples relationship.

OSUMyChart, available since 2008, represents the rst step toward creating

Video Gamesand AggressionViolent video games have long been known to increase

aggression. A new study co-authored by an Ohio State

researcher conrmed that violent video games encouragedaggressive behavior in men when they kept ruminating about

the game. A total of 126 college students, with 69 males and

57 females, played one of six video games for 20 minutes.

The students either played a violent or non-violent video gameagainst an opponent of the same gender. Half the players

were instructed to think about the game over the next 24

hours to identify ways to improve their game play. After a

replay of all studentswith those winning allowed to punish

their opponents with noises in their headphones ranging inintensitythe players who thought for a day about their game

play displayed more overall aggression. Males not instructed

to continue strategizing and females in both groups did not

display this increase.

Pump Up the VolumeWhile we all know that exercise helps to improve apersons mood, new research at Ohio State suggests

that working out to music may give exercisers a

cognitive boost as well. Adding music to exercise

helped to increase scores on a verbal uency test

among cardiac rehabilitation patients. The studyincluded 33 men and women in the nal weeks of

a cardiac rehabilitation program, with most having

undergone bypass surgery, angioplasty, or cardiac

catheterization. Participants completed a verbaluency test before and after two separate exercise

sessions on a treadmill. Exercise alone improved

how patients felt emotionally and mentally, yet

listening to music more than doubled verbal uencytest performance.

Listening to music may inuence cognitive function

through different pathways in the brain, said Charles

Emery, the studys lead author and a professor ofpsychology at Ohio State.

In 2010, OSU Extension reached 260,192 Ohioans through programs on health promotion, food safety, nancial education, and parenting.

Research like that highlighted here is funded, in part,through private support. During the last academic year,a total of $101.2 million in private support wasdirected toward research at Ohio State.

According to the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, in 2009 one in every 110children is diagnosed with autism.

As the number of children diagnosed with autism continues to grow,top researchers at Ohio State and Nationwide Childrens Hospitalwill collaborate on research to unlock the mysterious illness thataects how people communicate and interact. With private support

from the Marci and Bill Ingram Research Fund for Autism SpectrumDisorders, the university and hospital will have the support toexplore new methods and tactics for those with this neurologic andbehavioral disorder.

Leading research scientists and faculty at the two institutions willattack a comprehensive range of issues, from diagnosis throughadulthood. Te ndings and tools developed through grants fromthe Ingram Fund will be made available to research scientists,physicians, educators, psychologists, and all interested professionalsthroughout the world. A goal of the Ingram Fund is to help fast-trackresearch that will give scientists the data they need to pursue federaland private research grants.

Te Ingrams 18-year-old son was diagnosed with autism 14 yearsago. Te Ingrams were advised by doctors to keep the diagnosisquiet, which they did for more than a decade.

The Many Faces of AlzheimersEarle Bruce will forever hold a special place in Buckeye history.Renowned for his tough yet compassionate style, he was assistantcoach of the Ohio State football team from 1966-71 and head coachfrom 1979-87. His accomplishmentswhich earned him a place in theCollege Football Hall of Fame and on Ohio States All-Centuryeamprovided university alumni, fans, and f riends with manywinning memories.

Memories like these make us who we are. Tey shape our character,personality, values, and goals for the future. When something aectsour ability to remember, the loss is devastating for that person and evenmore so for anyone inside the circle of friends and family who rallyaround, Bruce said.

Bruce, who recently turned 80, knows how it feels when loved oneschange. While dementia of all forms can rob a person of memory,Alzheimers disease is perhaps the most devastating. He has seenrsthand how Alzheimers takes away ones memories, personality, andability to function day to day. His father passed away from the diseasein 1986, followed by his sister in 2008.

Dr. Douglas Scharre of Ohio State diagnosed my sister in 1996, at thetime we returned to Columbus to do radio analysis for WVN-AM.We watched her go d ownhill from there, Bruce said.

o help make a dierence in the battle against Alzheimers, Earle Bruceand his wife, Jean, established the Earle and Jean Bruce AlzheimersResearch Fund in Neurology. Tey also formed Buckeye CharitableBenets, a nonprot to oversee events and raise money to supportthe research fund. Te organization currently hosts the annual EarleBruces Beat Michigan ailgate and the James E. Horne Memorial GolfOuting. Te nonprot has also partnered with Jim ressel in his Coachressels Buckeye Football Spring Kick-o.

On the research f ront, Scharre is leading Ohio States involvement in amulticenter study of the eects of a vaccine-like treatment in delaying orslowing the course of Alzheimers. Te study involves a drug designed toremove a protein that accumulates in the brains of individuals with thedisease. Researchers are also exploring methods to diagnose dementiathrough cerebrospinal uid obtained from a lumbar puncture, aswell as through special imaging studies of the brain that can identifyabnormally accumulated proteins. Because genetics and inheritanceplay a large role in the risk of getting Alzheimers disease, studies areunderway to identify the specic genes contributing to the condition.

At the Memory Disorders Clinic of thOhio State Medical Center, patientssuering from any type of memorydisorder receive a comprehensiveassessment, diagnosis, and treatment.With more than 1,400 patients ayear, the clinic seeks to nd the besttreatments available for Alzheimersdisease, dementia, and other relatedmemory disorders.

Early identication and treatment ofdementia help to improve outcomes

and reduce costs. o ensure Ohio State is at the forefront inthese areas, the university is currently conducting four tri alssponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), seventrials sponsored by industry, and several investigator-initiatedstudies. In the last two-and-a-half years, the Memory DisordersClinic has received more than $2 million in research funding.

Dr. Douglas Scharre, director of cognitive neurology andassociate professor of neurology at the Ohio State MedicalCenter, wanted to nd a way to comprehensively evaluatebrain functioningfrom language and memory to problem-solving. o accomplish this, he designed a straightforwardtest that can be completed in 15 minutes. Te pen-and-paperassessment tool, known as Self-Administered GerocognitiveExamination (SAGE), is available free for use by doctors,patients, and family members.

Going forward, Scharre said Ohio State will be applying througthe NIH to be one of the designated Alzheimers Disease CoreCenters in the United States. With the designation, the centershave responsibility for conducting research, providing a platformfor training, and developing better diagnostic, prevention, andtreatment strategies.

If our application is accepted, the NIH provides a grant tosupport the center. Until that time, the private support wereceive goes a long way to assist our research, said Scharre, whohas been the principal investigator for more than 100 dementiarelated multicenter and investigator-initiatedclinical trials during the last 17 years. ypically, its largeinstitutions like Ohio State that have the critical massof physicians, researchers, and sta with the i nterest,knowledge, and passion to put togethera world-class eort to combat this verycomplicated disorder.

Giving Across Generationsimes change. Trends come and go. But some things will always remain...like your memoriesf Ohio State and the connection with your alma mater that continues today.

Where they give: In 2010, the Rosens supported the College of SocialWork because Rosanne focused her studies in this area at Ohio State. She

believes its important for people to extend themselves and help others. The

Rosens also are major fans of athletics and enjoy both football and womens

basketball, which they support. We give to help others receive the needucation that we did, Rosanne said.

Why they give: The Rosens enjoy being involved with the university and

having a connection to others who share a passion for higher education.

Being a Buckeye becomes part of your life, especially when its your almamater, Rosanne said. Ohio State has so much spirit.

How campus has changed: The Rosens used to go to the William Oxley

Thompson Memorial Library together as students. They visited the library

after the renovations and thought about how much campus has changed

over the years. The Wexner Center and RPAC werent there and so manyother buildings have been redone or changed completely, Rosanne said.

Mark remembers having to take ROTC, which was mandatory for males,

and wearing the uniform one day a week to classes. He said clothing

was much more formal. No jeans were allowed and students pledginga fraternity had to wear ties.

Where he gives: I give to the Buckeye Club to support athletics

because I have always enjoyed sports and that part of Ohio

State. I go to football and basketball games. But my giving tohe Stefanie Spielman Fund has more relevance for me.

Why he gives: Our family has quite a history of breast cancer.

My wife, my mom, and all my moms sisters have had breast

cancer. Ive lost two cousins to it, and a third cousin is currently

battling the disease. Cancer research is an area with specialmeaning that I will always support.

How campus has changed: Theres a real sense of

evitalization to the campus like the Ohio Union and the

enovation of the dorms on South Campus. The university iseally being updated and modernized for the current students to

enjoy. Its making for a better experience for them. When I was

a student, I enjoyed all the events that took place on the Oval,

such as Michigan game day activities. It was a lot of fun. Mydaughter is now a freshman and loves being at Ohio State with

he diversity and choices of activities.

annual giving

anne and Mark Rosen Columbus, Ohio

1960sWhere he gives: The two areas I support most often are WOSU PublicMedia and the Nisonger Center. I rely on WOSU Radio for the news and

local programming it offers.

Why he gives: As the father of two young children, my wife, Cheryl, and

I give to WOSU to support the quality programming for them to watch. Ialso support the early childhood education program at the Nisonger Center

because of the services available to children with developmental delays.

Both areas offer educational services that I believe are important and

deserve our support.

How campus has changed: The change that is most apparent to me isthe advancement and integration of digital technology into the learning

environment. New technology and digital media have made it much easier

for faculty and students to learn, communicate, and connect on a whole

new level. The other noticeable difference is the universitys continualinvestment in capital and student infrastructure. This commitment can be

seen across campus in the new Campus Gateway and Ohio Union, as well

as the college buildings in various stages of construction.

abulous Four backeld consisting of Grin, Brian Baschnagel, Cornelius Green, andte Johnson.

Richard J. Solove wanted to make a dierence in the battle against cancer. Before he pa ssedaway this January at the age of 85, he accomplished his mission. A 1948 graduate of Ohio State,Solove became friends with Dr. Arthur G. James, a noted cancer surgeon at Te Ohio StateUniversity Medical Center, who treated Soloves father. Solove helped to establish the ArthurG. James Cancer Hospital at Ohio State, working with Gov. James Rhodes, the legislature, andother local leaders to secure its funding. In 1999, a year aer he gave $20 million to the cancerhospital, the university renamed the facility the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and RichardJ. Solove Research Institute.

Dick Solove was among the universitys most generous alumni, creating an enduring legacynot of bricks and mortar, but of powerful minds and caring individuals working with patientsand their families to nd a cure for cancer, said President E. Gordon Gee.
