Protecting Your Child Against the Rise in Measles Cases
Measles cases are on the rise, but the disease is almost entirely preventable.
“The best protection for children 12 months or older is to get them vaccinated,” says Dartmouth Health Children’s Pediatrician Erik M. Shessler, MD.
“Vaccinations are not only very safe, but they are highly effective, and children under a year are largely protected by maternal antibodies,” he says.

INHALE STUDY: Impairments That Affect Correct Inhaler Use in COPD
Dr. Mahler is Emeritus Professor of Medicine at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire. Since October 2014, he works as a pulmonary physician at Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont, New Hampshire, where he is Director of Respiratory Services.
Dr. Mahler is currently participating in a one-year, study to determine the prevalence of both cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity in stable out-patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), as well as assess the relationship of cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity with patient errors using hand held inhalers.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Mahler will be presenting the preliminary findings from the INHALE Study on May 18, 2025, at the International Conference of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in San Francisco.
