Specialty Definition: New York University

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

New York University (NYU) is located in Greenwich Village in New York City. It is a place where diversity is cherished, and the campus is fractured and decentralized, with buildings spread over much of the neighborhood. There is often tension between the university and other neighborhood residents and businesses over real estate issues.

Originally called the University of the City of New York, it was founded by a group of prominent New Yorkers in 1830 as an alternative to the Episcopalian-dominated and "aristocratic" Columbia College (now Columbia University).

NYU's sports teams are called the Violets. They participate in the NCAA's Division III and the University Athletic Association.

The university's business school is called Stern School of Business.

Health

This year, the New York University School of Medicine research team identified a close variant of FBD in a small Danish population (Vidal et al., 2000). Severe accumulations of amyloid around blood vessels, cataracts, deafness, loss of balance, and dementia characterize this variant. (references)

In a second, similar study, conducted at New York University Medical Center, healthy older people and those with mild cognitive impairment received an MRI and a clinical and cognitive evaluation at baseline and follow-up (3.2 years) (Convit et al., 2000). Again, results indicated several specific sites in the brain that may be affected in preclinical AD, and that atrophy in these areas may indicate future AD in these individuals. (references)

For example, in 1999, scientists at the New York University School of Medicine and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Institute of Neurology, both in London, identified a defect in the gene called BRI, which is located on chromosome 13 (Vidal et al., 1999). This gene is associated with the development of familial British dementia (FBD), a disease characterized by progressive dementia, paralysis, and loss of balance. (references)
