4—The Daily Collegian Friday, June 27,1986 Faith Cresswell talks with her husband, Robert, who has been sustained by the Penn State artlfical heart for 104 days now. With the Cresswells is Dr. John Burnside, associate vice president for health affairs at the University’s Hershey Medical Center. Second recipient eligible for donor By KATHI DODSON Collegian Science Writer Robert Cresswell celebrated his 100th day on the Penn State heart last Tuesday. On March 17, Cresswell became the second recipient of the Penn State pneumatic artificial heart after his body rejected a human donor heart he had received seven days earlier. Dr. G. Victor Rohrer, associate dean for patient care at the University’s Hershey Medical Center, said Cresswell remains in critical condition but is eligible for a donor human heart. Cresswell has been on the transplant list since May 12. He was not eligible for a transplant before May 12 because of kidney problems that required daily dialysis. However, some problems have arisen in trying to find a donor heart, Rohrer said. Cresswell weighs between 180 and 190 pounds, so a possible donor’s weight must be within 25 to 30 pounds of Cresswell’s weight, Rohrer said. Cresswell also has an unusually high antibody count, which greatly increases the risk of donor heart reject ion. A very close match must be made between Cresswell’s blood protein and the donor’s. Such a precise match can be very difficult if not impossible, Rohrer said. The high antibody count could be a result of natural allergies or of Cresswell’s previous rejection of a transplanted heart, Rohrer said. “I’m concerned that we can find a suitable heart,” Rohrer said. Howard Nathan, director of the Delaware Valley Transplant Program, an organization which locates transplantable organs for hospitals like Hershey, said: “We’ve never been in this position before. We never had a candidate who was so large or had such a high antibody count before.” Three donor hearts have become available since Cresswell was put on the donor list. However, none of the three were suitable for transplantation into Cres swell’s chest, Nathan said. The length of time Cresswell is sustained on the Penn State heart will not effect his chances for a transplant, Rohrer said. “I don’t know of any reason six months from-now that he wouldn’t be a candidate,” Rohrer said. Howev er,' he added that the longer Cresswell is on the heart, the greater are the chances chronic infection will develop. There is a possiblity that no transplant will be found for Cresswell, “But we aren’t considering that,” Rohr er said, adding that the artifical heart has sustained experimental animals for three times longer than Cresswell has been sustained. Two important steps to getting a job. l * p «r of PSU human The length of time Cresswell has been on the heart should not cause a backlog of cases, Rohrer said. Use of the Penn State heart is an experimental procedure, not a routine operation. If implantation of the artificial heart ever became routine, problems could occur, he said. No one has been denied a heart resulting from the length of time Cresswell has been on the heart, Rohrer said. Other Penn State hearts are available if the need for another artifical heart should arise, he added. Potential candidates for the Penn State heart cannot be screened because of high antibody count or other factors that may make a transplant difficult, Nathan said. “The potential is always there that this patient can survive and you never know if the next donor might'be it,” Nathan said. “One doesn’t have a week to decide if the Penn State heart will be used,” Rohrer added, and screening patients could be very time consuming and difficult. Cresswell’s spirits continue to improve after a period of depression following a stroke he suffered on May 27. Cresswell’s stroke was caused by a blood clot which had formed in the artificial heart. “The longer a patient is on the artificial heart, the greater the opportunity for such an incident to occur,” Rohrer said. As a result of the stroke, Cresswell had difficulty in speaking except to answer questions. However, through daily speech therapy, he has begun to initiate his own speech, Rohrer said. Cresswell is being treated with an anticoagulant to decrease the risk of blood clot formation. However, such treatment could pose a problem when trying to control bleeding during operations and transplants. Rohrer said the specific anticoagulant being used to treat Cresswell Coumadin is easily reversed with other medication in the event that a transplant is found. Cresswell has also developed some drainage prob lems and local infection around one of the tubes in his chest, Rohrer said. “This is natural any time patients have foreign material inside their bodies,” Rohrer said. The tube is used to pump air, which causes the heart to pump blood. Rohrer added that although the blood clot did form in the heart, the pumping mechanism itself has per formed perfectly over the last 100 days. Cresswell continues to ride an exercise bike and to get out of bed a few times a day, Rohrer said. His wife, Faith visits him daily. “She’s a real trooper,” Rohrer said, adding that Faith told him, “It’s time for a miracle to happen, we’re ready for a heart.” .

Minority Health Careers Program at the University. J. Gregory Carroll, associate dean for un dergraduate studies in the College of Human Development, said, “The program is designed primarily to address the national problem of underrepresentation of minorities in health related fields.” “Our intent will be to increase minority enrollment through recruitment and reten tion,” he said. The program will be funded by the Division of Disadvantaged Assistance in the U.S. De partment of Health and Human Services, said Carroll, who is also director of the new pro gram. ; The University will use the funding to offer an array of programs for minority high school, undergraduate and graduate students, beginning Sept. 1, Carroll said. Retention and recruitment will include “.. . two different types of recruitment. We will use the one traditional type, which entails visiting high schools and holding college fairs. The other is actually setting up opportunities for students,” Carroll said. One such opportunity will be the Minority Health Career Institute, which will be imple mented in the summer of 1987, The institute is Eisenhower Chapel Offer Expires June 29 Schwab Auditorium Wagner Mozart Schubert 3:oopm Beethoven Mozart Gounod a three-week summer program for high school students, Carroll said. “Somewhat borderline students who could use special work will be given some advance preparation in the form of an intense three week program,” he added. Another part of the program will be the creation of a special office, affiliated with the College of Human Development, to coordinate the recruitment and retention of minority students in health-related majors. Dorian O. Burton, coordinator of minority programs for the College of Human Devel opment, said efforts will be made to retain the students “.. .by ensuring they are doing well in the program academically and socially.” Other areas of the program include: • Expansion of the summer Minority Ad vanced Placement Program for academically talented minority high school students. • Establishment of a network of faculty advisers and academic advising for minority students in health-related programs. • Coordination of existing University pro grams of career counseling and academic advising for minority students in health-re lated programs. • Creation of a computer system to track the academic progress of University students participating in the program. • Creation of a separate summer Minority Health Careers Institute for minority college students who are considering graduate study in a health field. This institute will begin during Summer Session 1987. ‘We hope to double enrollment. Our goal is to have a 6 percent to 12 percent increase in three years. J. Gregory Carroll, associate dean for undergraduate studies in the College of Human * Development The Minority Health Careers Institute will be offered in cooperation with four other universities: Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa.; Cheyney University, Cheyney, Pa.; How ard University, Washington D.C.; and the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Prin cess Anne, Md. According to Carroll, the University’s pro posal was one of 13 new programs to be funded by the Division of Disadvantaged Assistance. A cooperative effort among five health-re lated fields at Penn State, the program will be associated with nutrition, health education,' health planning and administration, clinical psychology and communication disorders. “This program will have a big impact on minority enrollment in health-related fields,” Carroll said. “We hope to double enrollment. Our goal is to have a 6 percent to 12 percent increase in three years.” CVE | 3 | >(fim g i i ■ii——— i i in ■ I HAIRSTYLING • TANNING • ELECTROLYSIS • g g MANICURE • PROFESSIONAL g HOME USE PRODUCTS • g WEDNESDAY MEN’S NIGHT DISCOUNTS g 228 E.

College Ave. The Daily Collegian Friday, June 27, 1986—5 McKeesport drops minority program By WINSLOW M. MASON JR. Collegian Staff Writer University officials who earlier announced plans to place the Minority Advanced Place ment Program at six Commonwealth cam puses this summer may be limited to just five. Larry Woods, admissions counselor and mi nority recruiter at McKeesport Campus, said yesterday that because the campus, located near Pittsburgh, could not enroll enough stu dents in the program before the estimated mid- April deadline, the program won’t be offered there this summer. Woods said two factors a low number of applicants and a number of applicants who did not meet program requirements contributed to the enrollment shortage. The program offers three credits of free summer coursework to academically talented minority high school juniors or rising seniors who have passed the program’s admission requirements a 950 Scholastic Aptitude Test score and an above-average grade point aver age. “Once they complete the program with an A or B, they have until Summer 1987 to take another course for free,” said Dorian 0. Bur ton, coordinator of minority programs for the College of Human Development. “We would like to have had the program,” Woods said, expressing his disappointment over the lack of students. “The important thing is to give a quality program. We look forward to providing the program next year.” Burton said the program is designed to enhance minority enrollment not just at Uni versity Park, but throughout the entire Penn State system. “When I say minority, I’m talking about Blacks, Hispanics and Native and Asian Amer icans,” Burton said. Penn State, along with Pennsylvania’s other state-owned or state-related schools, is under federal mandate to increase its black student enrollment by 1987. Although the University hoped to enroll 572 first-time black Pennsylvania freshmen this fall, official reports released last week indicate that about 25 percent fewer black Pennsylvania students have accepted admission offers this year as compared to last year. The University earlier announced plans to provide the MAPP program at the Ogontz and Delaware County campuses near Philadelphia, which participated last summer, and four new campuses.
