CINCINNATI—A University of Cincinnati expert on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will play a leading role in a 17-site, $9 million study that will compare the two leading evidence-based treatments for PTSD.
Kathleen Chard, PhD, will be one of three co-principal investigators for the trial, which is expected to launch later this year. She is an associate professor of clinical psychiatry in the UC Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience and director of the department’s PTSD division, based at the Cincinnati Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center facility in Ft. Thomas, Ky.
The grant is sponsored by the VA’s Cooperative Studies Program, the division of the VA’s Office of Research and Development that is responsible for the planning and conduct of large multicenter clinical trials and epidemiological studies.

FORT WORTH -- A couple who bound and killed a Vietnam veteran inside his Arlington home in 2011, then stuffed the man's body into his own refrigerator and dumped it in Ellis County, pleaded guilty Monday to murder.
In exchange for their pleas, Thomas Dunham was sentenced to 45 years in prison and Erin Williams to 30 years. They entered their pleas in State District Judge Robb Catalano's court.
Williams, who also went by the last name of Guthrie, had been staying with the victim, Jerry Vern Roberts, before the 62-year-old man's disappearance in May 2011.
When Roberts failed to show up at work at his nephew's trucking business, concerned relatives went to his home on West Sanford Street where they found sheets covering the windows, the refrigerator and Robert's truck missing, and what appeared to be blood on their uncle's chair.

Workers at the Robertson Blood Center spend their days collecting something very special. They collect blood and platelet donations from troops stationed at Fort Hood to be sent to troops fighting in Afghanistan. It takes about seven days for the donated blood to reach its destination.
"This mission gives me personal gratification because I'm helping soldiers directly every day," 2nd Lt. Sarah Matthews, director of the Robertson Blood Center, said.
Soldiers like Major Thomas Nessler share the same enthusiasm for the blood drive mission. He said it's an easy way to help.
"It's just an easy way to contribute be perfectly honest," Maj. Nessler said. "Since I'm a healthy guy, it seems like the right thing to do."
The center is part of the Armed Services Blood Program. The program gives these donations directly to troops injured on the battlefield and can help nurse them back to full health.
