SIU School of Medicine holding psoriasis clinical trial

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine researchers are enrolling patients in a new oral medication study for psoriasis.

The randomized clinical trial could lead to long-term relief of symptoms. Dr. Stephen Stone, professor of internal medicine at SIU School of Medicine, will serve as the primary investigator on the study. He is director of clinical research for dermatology and specializes in acne, psoriasis and skin cancer.

LEDBETTER, KY. -- Paul Thomas had an interesting story to tell. And with the Du Quoin State Fair getting underway today, the timing was perfect.

On June 4 of this year, he bought a white 1968 Dodge T-100 pickup truck from Eugene Charvat of Paducah.

MARION -- The Southern Illinois Miners handed the Evansville Otters an early lead on Wednesday night in Marion, and could not dig out of the hole in a 5-2 loss at Rent One Park, dropping the series by losing the first two games. In the first inning, a two-out RBI double by Elijah MacNamee put the Otters up 1-0, and then the visitors scored a trio of two-out runs in the second inning to vault in front 4-0.
