Donald Tanenbaum, DDS, section head of the Division of
Orofacial Pain/TMD/Dental Sleep Medicine in the Department
of Dental Medicine at LIJ and clinical assistant professor at the
Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, has written a new
book, Doctor, Why Does My Face Still Ache?, which provides information
and solutions for the 75 million Americans suffering intense ear,

A research study led by Lily Thomas, RN, North Shore-LIJ
vice president for nursing research and evidence-based practice,
which was conducted at NSUH, is the basis for an article that
appeared recently in the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care
Nursing. Kathy Trombley, RN, and Mary Brennan, RN, of NSUH,
brought to Ms. Thomas’s attention their observations that patients
in the Palliative Care Unit developed what appeared to be pressure
injuries within hours or days of their death, and she helped
them design the study. Discovery of what has been named the
Trombley-Brennan pressure injury is a major breakthrough in
understanding pressure injuries.
