UNC doctor will aid judge in breast implant suits
■ Barbara Hulka and two
other doctors will study the
effects of breast implants.
BY MELISSA STEELE
SENIOR WRITER
U.S. District Judge Sam Pointer re
cently teamed a UNC doctor with two
others as part of a scientific advisory
committee to determine the safety and
health risks of silicon breast implants.
Dr. Barbara Hulka, a Kenan professor
in epidemiology at UNC’s School of
Public Health, Dr. Betty Diamond of the
Albert Einstein School of Medicine and

to complain about.
That’s what Gary Gaddy, coordina
tor of statistical consulting at the Insti
tute for Research in Social Science, saw
during his summer visit to the University
of Buea in Cameroon, Africa, where
textbooks are difficult to find.
Gaddy said Buea’s professors had to

up the scientific team.
Hulka said it is not the committee
members’ job to make personal judge
ments on whether or not they think file
implants are safe.
Instead, they intend to read scientific
literature on the subject and give their
interpretations of the material to Pointer
to aid him in his decisions on various
cases.
“I don’t plan to review anyone’s testi
mony or take anyone’s side, ” Hulka said.
“I’m just interpreting scientific literature
that has been peer reviewed.
“I’ll just review data, try to decide
what the data says, and tell (the judge)
what my interpretation of die data is
(based on) my particular discipline.”
Hulka said all the candidates for the
advisory board were chosen by a nomi
studentshadnotextbooks. “Gettinghold
of a book is as difficult as getting hold of
the money to buy a book,” he said.
In an effort to combat the problem,
Gaddy asked UNC professors to contrib
ute books to send to Buea’s newly-built
library. “I knew the need was there, and
I knew they would want it and appreciate
it,” he said.
Gaddy said the faculty and students at
Buea greatly appreciated the three boxes
fall ofbooks he and his wife left for them.
He said he had acquired about 2,000
additional books to send to Buea.
“I have all kinds of books from all
kinds of disciplines,” Gaddy said.
He said the book project was practi
Powell said storing drivers’ photo
graphs on computer would also assist
out-of-state law enforcement officers
needing information about people with
North Carolina drivers’ licenses.
Randy Knight, deputy director of the
N. C. Alcohol Law Enforcement Agency,
said he was hopeful that the new cards
would cut down on the use of fake iden
tification. “I have boxes and boxes of
(fake identification cards). We keep them
to learn how people are trying to falsify
identification. ” Knight said while the new
cards would certainly cut down on fake
identification, he doubted they would
everbe entirely eliminated. “Somewhere
out there is always someone who is going
to try to circumvent the law.”
nating committee and had to go through
a lengthy screening process. It was im
portant that the chosen candidates not
have a conflict of interest that might
affect their judgement on the issue of
breast implants, she said.
“It is fairly uncommon in the U.S. for
scientists to work for a judge,” Hulka
said.
“But I would not have taken on the
assignment if it were to work for anyone
other than the judge. I’m interested be
cause it is very important in terms of
health affects.”
Hulka has not had any experience
dealing with or researching the risks and
effects of silicon breast implants, and it
was her inexperience that the nominat
ing committee was looking for.
“That’s why they wanted me,” she
cally running itself.
“After I got back from Africa, people
wanted to hear about my trip and I would
mention to them that I was collecting
books to send to Africa, so they would
give me all these books,” he said.
Gaddy said sociology Professor Rich
ard Simpson donated 300 books, the de
partment of math donated about 500
books and the School of Journalism and
Mass Communications and the Kenan-
Flagler Business School donated hun
dreds ofbooks.
The process of acquiring books has
been very easy, and the only problem is
figuring out a way to ship the books to
Africa, Gaddy said.

said. “They didn’t want people who had
already formed opinions.” Hulka does,
however, treat and research breast can
cer as well as other forms of cancer.
“I’ve spent a lifetime career in science,
and I’ll apply presumably everythingl’ve
learned,” she said.
“(Breastimplants) are a big issue, and
a need for understanding the science of
them is great.”
The three members of the committee
have yet to meet together with Pointer.
Following this meeting, the process of
researching and reading scientific litera
ture will get under way.
Hulka said once her job as a commit
tee member begins, her main goal is to
collaborate with the other two doctors
and help the judge from a scientific stand
point.
He said someone had suggested ship
ping the books by military planes. Gaddy
said he would talk to the United States
ambassador in Cameroon to figure out a
way to get the books to Buea.
Some professors who contributed
books said they thought Gaddy’s efforts
would serve as priceless gifts to students
and professors in Buea.
Michelle Hunt, an assistant professor
at the business school, saidU.S. students
were lucky to have textbooks to buy.
“Students don’t realize it’s a privilege
to be able to buy books, even if they cost
$75,” she said.
