Interventional radiology is bringing tremendous advances to health care, including new treatment for cancer and a host of other diseases.

Interventional radiologists are experts in both imaging technology and minimally invasive procedures. Due to advancements in medical imaging devices, the new procedures available to patients through interventional radiology have exploded.

We are using image-guided techniques in ways that really improve people’s lives. And we are doing just that with the latest procedure we have added to our cancer care: Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT).

In the past, we were able to offer patients few, if any, targeted treatment options for liver cancer. Today, using SIRT, a minimally invasive treatment, we can deliver radiation via a catheter directly to the liver tumors, while sparing healthy tissue. It has proven to be a powerful weapon against one of the deadliest forms of cancer. I invite you to learn more about the new procedure on pages 12 and 13.

In addition to our advancement in liver cancer treatment, we have launched a Lung Health Center. We have brought a team of specialists together to improve early detection of lung disease and provide better coordinated care, which is led by cardiothoracic surgeon Sagar Damle, MD.

Our Lung Health Center offers early detection of lung cancer, premier diagnostic tools to detect cancer and innovative treatment and support for those faced with a diagnosis of lung cancer. Watch for more information about our Lung Health Center in our fall edition of Today’s News for Tomorrow’s Health.

To your good Health!

We’re proud to announce that we have received the prestigious Magnet® recognition for nursing excellence. This is the third consecutive time Saint Elizabeth has earned this designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Saint Elizabeth is one of only five hospitals in Nebraska to receive the designation, and one of just 401 hospitals in the nation. Considering fewer than eight percent of all U.S. hospitals meet the criteria to earn Magnet status, Saint Elizabeth is among an elite group.

“Receiving the Magnet designation proves that the nursing care we provide is above and beyond. I am proud of our dedicated nurses, who deliver

The Health Hub helps uninsured community members find health care resources and a medical home.

Often, people who lack health insurance face an exhausting and discouraging search through various agencies to find help. At the Health Hub, community members are assigned an advocate who can help them find resources that will help meet their health care needs. In 2012, Health Hub advocates helped 1,142 uninsured community members find health care resources, including medication and public assistance.

The Health Hub is a community-wide effort between Saint Elizabeth, Community Health Endowment of Lincoln, Lancaster County Medical Society, People’s Health Center, Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, Clinic with a Heart, People’s City Mission and ED Connection with clients being referred from many Lincoln area human service agencies.

Compassion for Our Patients—And Our Community Taking care of people is an honor and a privilege. It comes with great responsibility, and in this era of health care reform, Saint Elizabeth continues to deliver on our promise to build a healthier community. We strive to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to patients and family members within the walls of our hospital, but we also extend our healing ministry to the citizens of Lincoln and the surrounding community.

high-quality care while adhering to our core values of respect, integrity, compassion and excellence,” says Libby Raetz RN, MSN, vice president of nursing and chief nursing officer of Saint Elizabeth. “Receiving Magnet recognition signifies you are the best of the best.”

Saint Elizabeth first applied for and received the designation in 2004. To be considered for the honor, hospitals must reapply every four years and complete a credentialing process that can take a year or longer, including an on-site visit from ANCC appraisers who interview patients, staff, physicians and community members.

Pregnancy can carry risks for mothers and babies. Sometimes, certain issues occur before or during pregnancy that increase the chance of problems. In those situations, these higher-risk women may require care from specially trained doctors to help them deliver their babies safely. We’ve asked Chao Li, MD, our newest physician specializing in high-risk pregnancy, to answer some common questions that moms-to-be have about the medical specialty known as maternal fetal medicine.

Q What is a maternal fetal medicine specialist?

Maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialists are obstetricians with additional education and experience in pregnancy complications. Doctors who specialize in MFM often work with general obstetricians, perform procedures and tests on the baby during pregnancy or provide care for women with high-risk pregnancies.

Q When during pregnancy should a woman see an MFM specialist?

Women or their doctors may decide to call in an MFM specialist if prenatal blood tests or ultrasound scans show any abnormal results. Such doctors may be consulted, too, when a pregnancy involves more than one baby. An MFM specialist is also commonly part of the team when a woman or her doctor opts for tests to look for genetic defects or for specialized ultrasound examinations.

Q What is a high-risk pregnancy?

There are several factors that increase pregnancy risk, including:

» Being older than 35

» Being over- or underweight

» Having a previous miscarriage, stillbirth or early labor or birth

» Being pregnant with multiples

» Having health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma or heart, lung or kidney disease

» Having an autoimmune disorder

Some health problems can develop during pregnancy and cause complications. Gestational diabetes, for example, is a type of diabetes that occurs only in pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure and other changes in the body can affect the kidneys, liver and brain in women and their babies.

When you walk into the Saint Elizabeth Joint Center, you will notice one thing right away: It is not your typical hospital wing.

Patients are up and dressed in their own comfortable clothes, participating in group therapy classes or walking slowly down the hall, perhaps even calling out encouragement to each other. You might be surprised to learn that they went through hip or knee replacement surgery just a day or two earlier.

But according to Hollie Heser RN, Joint Academy coordinator, this upbeat, active atmosphere is exactly what

patients need and expect. “We have a wellness-

based philosophy,” Heser says.

“We prepare and educate our patients, so they know what to expect. We want them to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle as soon as possible.”

The Saint Elizabeth Joint Center performs about 1,000 joint replacements a year—more knee and hip replacements than any other facility in the Lincoln area. The Center’s unique combination of patient education, coordinated care and advanced surgical techniques has resulted in high patient success rates and made it a leader in the region. Saint Elizabeth has also been named among the 97 best hospitals in the country for hip and knee replacements by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Preparation and Teamwork Are KeyPatients start preparing about three weeks before their procedures at a three-hour Joint Academy class held at Saint Elizabeth.

“We cover everything from the specifics of the surgical procedures to how to get their homes ready for their recuperation,” Heser says.

She notes that patients then experience the Joint Center’s team approach, meeting individually with a physical therapist (who assesses their mobility, balance and range of motion and instructs patients on presurgical exercises), a registered nurse (who reviews current medications and discusses any changes patients will need to make), the admission staff (which

preregisters patients for surgery) and a nurse navigator (who discusses discharge and home needs following hospitalization).

Another innovative aspect of the program is that we ask patients to bring a friend or family member with them to the Joint Academy. “These ‘coaches’ learn along with patients and attend as many physical therapy sessions as possible, so they know exactly how to help during recovery,” Heser says.

Advanced TechniquesThe Joint Center also provides the latest technical advances, including

more durable and better-designed surgical implants that are able to mimic the natural motion of the hip and knee. Orthopedic surgeon Daniel Ripa, MD, notes that years ago, patients might have stayed in the hospital for up to 10 days following a knee or hip replacement.

“Today, because of better pain control modalities, as well as innovative surgical and therapy techniques, patients usually leave the hospital in three days or fewer,” Dr. Ripa says. “Also, most of our patients are able to go directly home, which helps decrease their risk for some complications.”

For Orin Hayes, 88, a retired physician from Walton, the arthritis pain in his left hip came on suddenly, and within three months, it was keeping him up at night. Dr. Hayes didn’t hesitate to act. “I knew it was just going to get worse,” he says. “I wanted to get it taken care of so I’d be in shape by the summer.” In mid-March, Dr. Hayes had surgery at the Joint Center with orthopedic surgeon James Gallentine, MD, who performs anterior hip replacement, a variation of hip replacement surgery that results in less postoperative pain and faster recovery times. Instead of making a large incision at the side of the hip, as is typical in traditional hip replacement, Dr. Gallentine accesses the joint through a smaller incision at the front of the thigh and avoids cutting major muscles and tendons. Dr. Hayes was able to stand and walk with assistance immediately after surgery, and he went home after just two and a half days. He required no pain medication, and he found that the only therapy he needed was walking up and down his driveway and doing minor chores around the house. “As I began to feel better, I started cleaning, raking leaves and even painting some rooms,” he says. Dr. Hayes anticipates that he’ll be fully healed by the summer. “I’m looking forward to getting back on the golf course and hosting a family reunion in July,” he says. “I’m very pleased that I didn’t wait and that everything went so well.”

Physical therapist, Jon Stoltenberg, works with patients after surgery to help them return to their normal physical activities.

Saint Elizabeth Burn Center staff teamed up recently with radio personality, Rob Kelley, of KX 96.9 FM to present burn patient, Brian Jackson, with a very special gift—tickets to a George Strait concert.

Jackson, a longtime fan of the country music legend, had intended to see Strait in concert earlier this year. But he was forced to miss the show after a fire in his kitchen badly burned his arms and chest.

With burns over one-third of his body, Jackson was treated at the Saint Elizabeth Burn Center. When nurses heard the news about the missed concert, they reached out to the staff at KX 96.9, who graciously stepped in to provide tickets to an upcoming concert.

UNDERSTANDING parkinson’s DiseaseParkinson’s disease is a slowly progressing, degenerative disorder that occurs when the nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine become damaged or destroyed. The lack of dopamine can cause disorders that affect movement, voice and mood.

What to Look ForCommon symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include:

» Tremors, or shaking, in the hands, arms, legs or jaw

» Difficulty walking, swallowing or speaking

» Trouble with fine motor tasks like closing buttons and cutting food

» Trouble balancing

» Nightmares and other sleep problems

» Handwriting that appears small or shaky

Are You At Risk?Parkinson’s disease can run in families. However, heredity accounts for only about five percent of Parkinson’s disease cases. Other factors that increase your risk include:

» Age—most people who get the condition are age 60 or older

» Exposure to certain chemicals in the environment, including pesticides and weed killers

» Drinking well water or living in rural areas, although scientists aren’t sure why

How Parkinson’s Is Diagnosed There is no blood test or medical scan that can detect Parkinson’s disease. But if even one of the typical symptoms has become noticeable, see your doctor right away. He or she may:

» Ask you about your medical history

» Check to see if you have stiffness in your muscles

» Have you extend your arms to detect a tremor

» Test your balance

Saint Elizabeth Sports & Physical Therapy is offering a new therapy to enhance the quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Our staff has two therapists who are specially trained in the Lee Silverman voice Treatment (LSvT) BIG™ and LSvT LOUD™ program, which is designed to help patients improve brain functioning and to slow the progression of the disease without medication.

lsVt loUDParkinson’s disease affects the muscles of the respiratory system. This can cause a person’s voice to become softer. Often, people with Parkinson’s are not even aware this is happening. Yet it becomes frustrating, because they can have difficulty communicating with others. LSvT LOUD is an innovative program, because it focuses solely on the goal of speaking loudly. In this intensive month-long, 16-session program, patients work with a specially trained speech therapist to stimulate and train their vocal muscles to reach an appropriate level of loudness without straining.

lsVt BiGAn extension of LSvT LOUD principles, LSvT BIG focuses on movement in a physical therapy setting. In this four-week program, patients practice large-amplitude, high-intensity movements in one-hour sessions four days a week to maximize results. The training improves patients’ strength, aerobic conditioning, flexibility, balance, trunk rotation and posture alignment.

NEW AT SAINT ELIzABETH: tarGeteD treatMent

For liVer cancer

improving quality of life

An innovative treatment for liver cancer called Selective Internal

Radiation Therapy (SIRT), now being offered at Saint Elizabeth

Regional Medical Center, offers a new option for patients with

otherwise inoperable tumors.

Dr. Eric Vander Woude and Dr. Rahul Razdan in Saint Elizabeth’s new Interventional Radiology suite, with the DynaCT system in the background.


Liver cancer is usually treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. However, some liver tumors are too large to remove via surgery, and normal liver tissue is particularly susceptible to external radiation methods.

During SIRT, interventional radiologists inject millions of tiny radioactive beads directly into the blood vessels that feed the liver tumors. The beads block blood flow to the tumors while delivering powerful doses of radiation—all without harming adjacent healthy tissue.

“SIRT is a minimally invasive way of delivering radiation directly to the tumors, allowing us to stop their growth and, in some cases, shrink them,” says Rahul Razdan, MD, an interventional radiologist at Saint Elizabeth.

Eric Vander Woude, MD, also an interventional radiologist at Saint Elizabeth, calls this new treatment a game changer. “If a patient is faced with metastatic cancer of the liver, we can treat that lesion, which will keep it from getting bigger and spreading to other parts of the body. Now, in some instances where it is primary cancer of the liver, this procedure has been shown to cure the cancer.”

Most often, SIRT will be used along with chemotherapy to prolong and improve quality of life. “Tumors can shrink to the point where they can be surgically removed, which is a curative measure,” Dr. Razdan adds.

Advanced Image GuidanceKey to the success of SIRT is DynaCT, a new imaging system that provides real-time, three-dimensional images of the liver anatomy and surrounding vasculature before and during the

procedure. The hospital’s DynaCT system was recently purchased with funds from the Saint Elizabeth Foundation.

“DynaCT imaging allows us to pinpoint tumors and blood vessels,” Dr. Razdan says. “It can be used for SIRT as well as other types of procedures that require precise placement of needles and catheters, such as chemoembolization, which delivers chemotherapy drugs into the tumor-feeding blood vessels.”

How it WorksAbout a week before the SIRT procedure, patients undergo a planning procedure. Using the DynaCT system, radiologists map the location of the tumors and block off certain blood vessels to prevent the radioactive beads from migrating outside the liver.

The procedure itself takes about two hours and is done under anesthesia. Using the previously mapped images along with real-time DynaCT guidance, radiologists guide a catheter from the femoral artery in the groin into the hepatic artery, the primary blood supply for liver tumors.

They then inject the radioactive beads, or microspheres, which are composed of a biocompatible material laced with the radioactive element yttrium-90, or Y-90. The microspheres are about five times the diameter of a red blood cell, and they easily travel through the hepatic artery before becoming permanently implanted in the smaller capillaries feeding the tumors.

Patients are able to leave the hospital the same day or the next. Over the next week or two, the microspheres deliver radiation to the tumor. After that, they lose their radioactivity but remain permanently implanted in the blood vessels.

To learn more about the innovative new SIRT treatment, and see a video of Dr. Razdan and Dr. vander Woude explaining the procedure, please visit www.SaintElizabethOnline.com/Cancer.

The SIRT procedure isn’t for everyone, Dr. Razdan notes. Patients who have had previous issues with radiation, and those who are currently experiencing liver failure or have certain blood vessel anomalies around the liver, would not be eligible. The procedure also carries certain risks, such as the possibility of microspheres migrating to other parts of the body. Still, this technology provides an innovative new treatment option for many patients. “It is very exciting to be able to offer this innovative procedure to our patients,” says Dr. vander Woude. “Previously, our patients would have to travel to Omaha or Kansas City to receive this treatment. Now, it is available right here in Lincoln. “Dr. Razdan and I, along with Saint Elizabeth, are proud to be the first to offer this targeted treatment in Lincoln. SIRT is improving our patients’ lives,” adds Dr. vander Woude. “It is one more example of how we are dedicated to building a premier cancer center.”
