Register Here The 5th Annual Kathleen Hickey Endowed Lectureship in Science of Cardiovascular Care will be held on Thursday, February 19th, 2026, from 4 PM to 6:30 PM EST. This in-person event will feature two researchers from UTokyo: Mayumi Morisaki-Nakamura, PhD, RN, PHN, and Toshiko Fushimi, RN. Mayumi Morisaki-Nakamura, PhD, RN, PHN, is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Family Nursing at UTokyo. The title of her talk is "Lifespan care and transition support for patients with congenital heart disease in Japan: Current status, clinical practice, and future directions." Dr. Morisaki-Nakamura’s work centers on transitional support for adolescents with childhood-onset chronic diseases—particularly congenital heart disease. Her goal is to build a seamless healthcare system that promotes lifelong physical, mental, and social functioning, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Toshiko Fushimi, RN, is a Homecare Nurse of the UTokyo Homecare Nursing Agency. The title of her talk is "Home care nursing practices for persons aged 80 and older with heart failure: A qualitative study." Fushimi’s research focuses on end-of-life (EOL) care using qualitative methods. She conducted qualitative research on home-based care for individuals >85 years old with heart failure, aiming to prevent re-hospitalization and potentially facilitate home-based EOL care. There will be a poster session during this event.  This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.    To support this lecture, please donate here.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has transformed dental imaging by providing three-dimensional views that enhance diagnosis and treatment planning across a wide range of maxillofacial conditions. However, its acquisition process differs fundamentally from conventional two-dimensional modalities, which often makes CBCT appear complex or intimidating. By demystifying CBCT protocols and focusing on task-specific acquisition strategies, clinicians can maximize the diagnostic value of this technology while minimizing radiation exposure, fully embracing the ALADA principle. The result is safer imaging for patients and smarter decisions for clinicians. ------------- Held in partnership with ACDE and 37 member dental schools as part of the 2026 Joint Provider Live Webinar Series.
