Surely a small research group or network in the US could find funding to replicate Dr. Owiesy‘s brilliant work. Use his pre/post model and follow-up schedule as well. Replicate on a much larger scale. What is possible and which research networks in the US could or should be involved?

I know you are busy Mark....that is a wonderful thing for sure. I know you will pass along an update when something becomes available.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop on this...greatly appreciated. ISNVD is approaching and we are looking forward to that, as well.

Take care Mark!!
