LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 14, 2021) Researchers at the University of Kentucky have received a $100,000 grant from The Marfan Foundation to assess how patients with Marfan syndrome develop hip pain.
The study will be conducted by Mary Sheppard, an assistant professor of family medicine and surgery in the UK College of Medicine, and Michael Samaan, an assistant professor of biomechanics in the UK College of Education Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion.
Marfan syndrome is a genetic condition that impacts the body’s connective tissue. It most frequently affects the heart, blood vessels, eyes and bones. Diagnostic features can include a dilated aorta; dislocated lens; long arms, legs and fingers; a curved spine; a chest that sinks in or sticks out; flat feet; and an abnormally shaped hip joint, among others.

Biopic films always seem to be on the more serious side of filmmaking, but
The Lady In The Van, which was released five years ago, takes more comedic approaches with its storytelling. With two different personalities colliding and a tale spanning fifteen years of understanding, a little bit of chaos and Dame Maggie Smith playing the titular role,
The Lady In The Van is truly unique.
Set in Camden, London, the film retells the tale of writer Alan Bennett (played by Alex Jennings) and Miss Mary Sheppard, Claire Foy and Jim Broadbent also have minor roles in the film.
