Tracing the Health Effects of Incarceration: From Systems to Cells
Incarceration leaves lasting effects on health. This Grand Rounds will explore incarceration as a social determinant of health and review emerging evidence on biological and epigenetic pathways linking chronic stress to long-term health outcomes. It will also discuss how clinicians, health systems, and researchers can address these effects from structural to cellular levels.
Speaker:
Emily Wang, MD, MAS, is a professor at the Yale School of Medicine and director of the SEICHE Center for Health and Justice, a Yale Medicine–Law collaboration addressing the health impacts of mass incarceration. She is a MacArthur Fellow, a primary care physician, and co-founder of the Transitions Clinic Network. Her NIH-funded research examines how incarceration influences chronic disease.

Drs. Chen, Boscardin, Lee, and Siqi Gan publish study in JAMA Internal Medicine
Catherine Chen, MD (UCSF Anesthesia, Pepper Scholar), Siqi Gan, John Boscardin, PhD, and Sei Lee, MD, MAS published a study in JAMA Internal Medicine entitled, "Anesthesia Care for Cataract Surgery in Medicare Beneficiaries". The authors found that while anesthesia care was used in most cataract surgeries, rates of complications were lower than in other common procedures such as cardiac catheterization or bronchoscopy. This suggests an opportunity to use anesthesia care more selectively in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
