and Corina Kesler, a facilitator with IGR and a researcher with the University’s International Institute, led the dialogue. Vanderbeck said he intended the conversation to be in keeping with the Valentine’s season, in relation to love, but also to provoke reflection on the subject of open discussions about important issues. “When you’re with loved ones, people you care about, how do you go about having these contentious conversations?” he said. He said the dialogue was a part of IGR’s ongoing efforts to encourage openness in relationships. “A lot of what IGR is about is learning how to dialogue, and at IGR we talk about dialogue being this third way between open discussion and debate,” he said. “Dialogue is a focused way of having a conversation.” Attendees broke out into smaller groups based on which category of loved ones they found having dialogues about identity most difficult. The choices were family, classmates/coworkers, significant others and friends. The talk also allowed the entire group to come together and share their ideas. Education graduate student Chelsea Noble said she liked how they could break into groups and get to know other participants. “I really appreciated that they kept us moving between circles so you got to hear from different folks, but there was also some big group debrief,” Noble said. “It felt dynamic, it felt like you could get your voice heard in a small group but also hear from the big group.” While in these smaller groups, Vanderbeck and Kesler asked participants to discuss why they felt dialogue was challenging with this type of loved one and also offered suggestions for possibly easing this difficulty. They brought up different topics of dialogue such as gender, race and sexual identity and allowed people to switch groups with every change of topic. Kesler said the willingness of various people to share experiences and thoughts made this discussion possible. “I think the presence of so many participants interested in learning made our role much easier,” she said. “If this was a success, it had very little to do with us, to be sure.” Education graduate student LaQwana Dockery, a graduate intern with IGR, said she really appreciated the camaraderie she felt with other audience members. “It was nice to be around people who share the same feelings about certain issues and topics when it comes to important people in our lives and when we want to talk about different issues that are important to us,” she said. “But also we don’t want to damage the relationships we have with certain people that we really care about,” Dockery said the dialogue helped her see that there were different ways to express her opinions on social justice. “There’s a lot of different ways that you can intervene and that necessarily doesn’t have to be directly confronting someone,” she said. “I think people who are really involved and passionate about social justice put the weight on their shoulders that we need to tackle every single issue at that moment, but that might not necessarily be the case sometimes. It might be important to change the subject or pull someone aside and talk to them the next day.” 2-News Seven alleged ISIS members were detained in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and charged for a bombing massacre in Moscow, St. Petersburg, according to CNN.

Currently, when surgeons want to view something in high detail they use a microscopic eyepiece. The field of view provided by this microscope is incredibly small and requires the surgeon to frequently move around while working. The surgeon is able to project two-dimensional images onto a screen for others in the operating room to see, but the surgeon her or himself cannot see that image. UMHS neurosurgeon Oren Sagher said the new device aims to change that. “The BrightMatter device parts from that,” Sagher said. “The surgeon is now seeing the same high detail over a larger area and is able to see it on a large screen in front of them rather than having to look into a microscope.” The device also allows all those in the operating room to see exactly what the surgeon is seeing. Sagher said he believes this will greatly improve communication and teaching capabilities in the operating room. “Now everybody knows exactly what the surgeon is seeing and doing and the scrub can anticipate what the surgeon needs and (this) really greatly improves the workflow in the operating room,” he said. What sets this device apart from current technology is that it combines more advanced visualization technology with surgical guidance, Sagher added. Currently, surgeons take digital images of a patient’s brain, for example, and reconstruct them into three- dimensions. A computer in the operating room then guides the surgeon’s hand where to go according to this three-dimensional model. This technology has existed for more than 20 years but lives completely separately from the microscope used previously — this new device will combine them. “If a surgeon was operating under a microscope, they cannot use the guidance system very easily, in fact sometimes not at all,” Sagher said. “With the Synaptive device, BrightMatter, not only can you do that, but it actually is integrated into the device. They are actually able to guide your view and your path exactly the way you have planned it based on the patient’s preoperative imaging.” The device itself is a robot. The visualization camera hangs above the head of the surgeon and slightly in front of them in order to not get in their way. The surgeon is able to give the robot verbal commands to change paths and trajectories. “It is just short of the ability of the robot to actually do the operation,” Sagher said. “It essentially allows the surgeon to just get to that limit where the surgeon is operating but being aided by the robot.” The BrightMatter device is currently being used at a handful of hospitals across the country, including Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Karin Muraszko, chair of neurosurgery at the University, said while the BrightMatter device is costly, the University thinks it is a worthwhile investment. “It’s a significant outlay of funds and a hospital has to feel that they have got the need for that kind of technology,” Muraszko said. “We view ourselves, and I think appropriately so, as a place that leads in cutting edge technologies. I think that, like everything, it is going to require a learning curve, but we have invested a fair amount of effort and time to access its feasible and usefulness in our own practice before we made the commitment to bring this system to Michigan.” Both Sagher and Muraszko said they believe the University will uniquely implement of this technology due to the prominent brain tumor program the University has, as well as how they will be able to integrate the BrightMatter technology with a visualization instrument that another UMHS neurosurgeon, Daniel Orringer, has developed. Orringer has created a visualization instrument called stimulated Raman spectroscopy, which allows for the visualization of actual cells. This offers the potential to be able to differentiate between tumor cells and normal cells in the operating room. “We can take a real breakthrough and make it a truly monumental breakthrough, leveraging what our in-house talents are here with Dr. Orringer’s SRS microscope,” Sagher said.
