>>> WELCOME BACK. >>> ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
INSTITUTES OF HEALTH ONE OUT OF
15 AMERICANS SUFFER FROM
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND IN THE
NORTHWEST A GREAT PROVINCE OF
ILLNESS, IRRITABLE BOWEL
DISEASE AND DIABETES.
WE HAVE PART OF A NEW
INITIATIVE, THE SOUND OF LIFE
PROJECT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND HEALTH
AND DISEASE.
AND DISEASE. WELCOME.
WELCOME.
WELCOME. WHY DO WE HAVE A PREVALENCE,
AND IT IS OPEN TO EITHER OF
YOU?
YOU?
YOU? >>
YOU? >> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION AND
AN UNKNOWN, AND A LOT
>>>
>>> THIS
>>> THIS CAN BE SUPER IMPORTANT TO GET PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE SO
YOU CAN EXPLAIN THE
SIGNIFICANCE.
SIGNIFICANCE. >> IF WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MANY
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US IN THE
CONTEXT OF HEALTH IT WOULD BE
VERY IMPORTANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT
PEOPLE GET THESE DISEASES.
AS YOU MENTIONED SO MANY OF US
HAVE THESE DISEASES, ONE OUT OF
15 AND BASICALLY IT MEANS
EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE.
>> SO IF YOU ARE HEALTHY YOU
MAY DO SOMETHING ON THEIR
BEHALF AND IF I WERE TO
ENCOURAGE SOMEONE TO
PARTICIPATE, HOW COULD THEY GET
IN TOUCH WITH YOU TO TAKE PART?
>> THEY CAN TAKE A LOOK AT OUR
WEBSITE OR SIGN UP ON THE
WEBSITE, AND WE WILL GIVE
PEOPLE FURTHER INFORMATION AND
HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> SOMETIMES WHEN THIS SORT OF
RESEARCH STARTS WE DON'T KNOW
WHEN IT WILL END UP.
CAN YOU GIVE ME EXAMPLES OF
BREAKTHROUGHS, DISCOVERIES AND
WAYS WE ARE DEALING WITH
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES AND COMING
OUT OF THOSE STUDIES AND WHY IT
THIS IS SO URGENT.
>> ONE IS THE EXAMPLE DONE OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AT
MANY SITES BUT THERE IS A TYPE
I DIABETES TRIAL WITH THE
INTERNATIONAL DIABETES TRIAL
NETWORK.
NETWORK.
NETWORK. WE PUBLISHED A STUDY SHOWING A
DRUG THAT CAN ACTUALLY DELAYED
THE DIABETES ONSET.
THAT IS MEANINGFUL TO FAMILIES
AND A FEW YEARS DELAYED MEANS A
COUPLE OF YEARS WITHOUT INSULIN
OR MONITORING BLOOD SUGAR.
THAT'S MEANINGFUL FOR PEOPLE
THAT HAVE TO MANAGE THESE
DISEASES.
DISEASES.
DISEASES. ULTIMATELY WE WOULD LIKE TO
MOVE THAT FURTHER BUT THAT HAS
BEEN DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH
OTHER SITES AND WORK ON THIS
PROJECT COULD HELP US MAKE
SIMILAR BREAKTHROUGHS.
SIMILAR BREAKTHROUGHS. >> THAT IS A GREAT POINT.
IF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
DIFFICULTY THAT PEOPLE WITH
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES FACE MAYBE
YOU COULD BILL US IN.
WE HEAR ABOUT CANCER AND OTHER
THINGS, BUT THIS HAS A MAJOR
IMPACT ON PEOPLE.
>> DEFINITELY IT CAN LIMIT THE
DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES.
DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES. PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS,
IVD WHICH IS CROHN'S DISEASE,
OR TYPE I DIABETES.
IMAGINE A TEENAGER OR CHILD
HAVING TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM
WITH COMPLICATIONS AND
CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH THE
DISEASES, AS WELL AS ALLERGIES.
FOOD ALLERGIES.
FOOD ALLERGIES. >> WITH A LIKE EVERYONE HAS
THOSE THESE DAYS.
IS ONE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
MAKING YOU MORE LIKELY TO
SUFFER FROM ANOTHER?
>> IT DOES INCREASE YOUR RISK
OF HAVING MORE THAN ONE.
>> IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES COULD
YOU BE MORE VULNERABLE TO
ANOTHER AUTOIMMUNE PROBLEM
QUESTION MARK
QUESTION MARK >> THERE ARE AUTO IMMUNE
DISEASES THAT WANTED FAMILIES
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. LIKE TYPE I DIABETES AND CELIAC
DISEASE IS STRONGLY LINKED
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. HELPING TO KNOW HOW TO PREVENT
ONE OF THOSE GOOD MEETING THE
PREVENTION OF MULTIPLE
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES IN A PERSON
WHICH COULD BE VERY HELPFUL.
>> THIS IS PART OF THE HOPE WE
CAN ANTICIPATE AND MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF
OTHER PEOPLE.
