Blood study insight could improve stem cell therapy success – Medical Xpress

Posted: Published on May 12th, 2017

May 12, 2017 Researchers have pinpointed a key enzyme that is vital for the production of fresh blood cells in the body. The enzyme is essential for the survival of specialised stem cells that give rise to new blood cells, the study found. Experts say the findings could help to improve the success of stem cell therapies that are being developed to treat some blood cancers and disorders of the immune system. Enzyme Scientists focused on an enzyme called fumarase, which is known to play a key role in the generation of energy inside cells. Children with gene mutations that affect fumarase have blood defects, which prompted researchers to investigate its function. The mouse study found that deletion of fumarase from blood cells causes major defects in new blood cell production. These defects could be traced back to defects in the specialised stem cells that give rise to new blood cells. Blocking the enzyme causes a molecule called fumarate to build up inside the cells, which has wide-ranging toxic effects. Stem cells The study sheds new light on the conditions that blood stem cells need to survive, which could help to boost the success of stem cell therapies, the researchers … Continue reading →

15:28 16:39 Friday 12 May 2017 The trust which runs Boston, Grantham and Lincoln hospitals has cancelled all Outpatients, endoscopy, cardiology and radiology scheduled for this weekend after it was attacked by a cyber attack reported to be creeping across the country. The attack is reported to block health care professionals from accessing patient records and ask for money in return for unlocking them. A spokesman for ULHT said at least Lincoln and Pilgrim hospitals had been affected by the virus. Mark Brassington chief operating officer at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust said: We can confirm that ULHT has been affected by the cyber attack that has hit a number of Trusts across the country. Lincoln county Hospital, Pilgrim Hospital and Grantham hospital are all affected. At the moment all IT systems and many phone lines within our hospitals are switched off. Departments are taking action to ensure patient care is prioritised. We will be diverting some emergency cases to local hospitals which are not affected by the attack, where possible. We ask patients to only come to our A&Es if absolutely necessary. We do not yet know how long this incident will last, and therefore are cancelling all outpatient, … Continue reading →

UAH biology professor discovers new population of rare freshwater fish – UAH News (press release)

Posted: Published on May 12th, 2017

Alabama has one of the richest river systems in North America and is ranked among the nation's top five states for biodiversity. Land Trust of North Alabama According to The Nature Conservancy, the Tennessee Valley River Basin is the single most biologically diverse river system for aquatic organisms in the U.S. So its no surprise that Dr. Bruce Stallsmith, an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), spends a lot of time there. My research is on the ecology and conservation of the regions freshwater fishes, with a particular emphasis on cyprinid minnows, killifishes of the genus Fundulus, and percid darters, says Dr. Stallsmith, whose Stallsmith Lab is renowned for its aquatic ecology research. And while the primary focus has been on their reproductive biology, I am also interested in the monogenoidean gill parasites that can impact their ability to reproduce. His most recent foray to the basin was at the behest of Hallie Porter, development director of the Land Trust of North Alabama. She asked if I would be interested in assessing Bethel Spring for rare species of freshwater fish, and of course I jumped at the chance, says Dr. … Continue reading →

Cottage Cardiology Center Achieves Heart Procedure Milestone – Noozhawk

Posted: Published on May 12th, 2017

Posted on May 11, 2017 | 11:40 a.m. The Cottage Heart and Vascular Center at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital recently reached a milestone for advanced cardiology care by successfully using the TAVR procedure to treat 100 patients more than any other health system on the Central Coast. TAVR is the first non-surgical procedure for the replacement of the aortic valve. In less than two years, we have helped 100 patients who otherwise would not have been able to receive treatment because of the high risks associated with open heart surgery, said Dr. Joseph Aragon, interventional cardiologist on the TAVR team. The number of people we have helped has exceeded the expectations we had when we completed our first TAVR in September 2015, said Dr. Aragon, who also is medical director of the Structural Heart Program. In the United States, 1.5 million people suffer from aortic stenosis, a serious medical condition where the aortic valve begins to narrow, reducing blood flow from the aorta to the rest of the body. This can cause shortness of breath, dizziness and heart failure. The standard treatment is an aortic valve replacement. However, many patients, especially the elderly, are not able to have open-heart surgery … Continue reading →
