Movie Review

Phantom of the Paradise [DVD]

Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise is a true cinematic one of a kind, a gaudy, silly, but undeniably innovative merging of Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera and the Faust legend into a giddy art-rock opera that satirizes the conflict between big business and artistic pretension. It's a good idea for a movie if not a very good movie--the screenplay is particularly labored, e ... ...

This discovery, the first of its kind and led by UC's Bruce Yacyshyn, MD, is being presented via podium presentation by staff from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Digestive Disease Week 2013, being held May 18-21 in Orlando, Fla.

"With collaborators from Walter Reed, we were able to identify all of the active duty service men and women who developed IBD and then used the repository to go back and look at various biomarkers to see what each person had in common," said Yacyshyn, a professor of medicine at the UC College of Medicine and UC Health gastroenterologist.
