Parkinson’s Disease Sufferer Takes on Sailing Regatta
Among the boats on the water was
4U, a 16-foot RS Venture, owned and skippered by Christian Buhl of Lido Island Yacht Club in Newport Beach, California.
Dwarfed by the huge racing yachts swirling for starting positions around them,
4U stood out in the crowd during the April 23 start with its bright orange sail and crew donning similarly fluorescent orange caps.
4U, which made its N2E race debut, is a specially-designed and outfitted sailboat that enables sailors with disabilities to participate in sail races such as the N2E Newport to Dana Point Sprint.

DALLAS - Dec. 15, 2020 - A study of patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest shows that women have a lower likelihood of survival compared with men and are less likely to receive procedures commonly administered following cardiac arrest.
The multicenter study, led by UT Southwestern researchers, was published online today in
Circulation. The percentage of patients who survived to hospital discharge was significantly lower among women (22.5 percent) than men (36.3 percent). About 300,000 people suffer cardiac arrests outside of a hospital setting each year in the U.S. Our work points to new directions in how we can work to improve survival in women, says Ahamed Idris, M.D., a professor of emergency medicine and internal medicine at UT Southwestern who practices at Parkland Memorial Hospital. Why are emergency interventions different with women than with men?
