Parkinsons Disease: Possible Treatment with Chinese Medicine

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2016

Return to ITM Online PARKINSON'S DISEASE Possible Treatment with Chinese Medicine by Subhuti Dharmananda, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon The disorder that was to become known as Parkinson's disease was first described as shaking palsy in 1817 by a London physician named James Parkinson. Parkinson's disease is now known to be a progressive neurological disorder involving degeneration of neurons in a region of the brain that controls movement. This degeneration creates a shortage of dopamine, which is the immediate cause of the movement dysfunctions that characterize the disease: administration of l-dopa (a precursor to dopamine, which is converted in brain cells to dopamine) has considerable beneficial effects in many patients with Parkinson's disease. In most cases, the first symptom of Parkinson's disease is tremor (trembling or shaking) of a limb, especially when the body is at rest. The tremor often begins on one side of the body, frequently in one hand. As the disease progresses, both sides of the body may be involved and shaking of the head may also occur. Other common symptoms include slow movement, difficulty in initiating movement, rigid limbs, a shuffling gait, a stooped posture, and reduced facial expressions. In about a third of the … Continue reading →

Stem Cell Treatment for Cerebral Palsy

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2016

At Beike, our treatment not only focuses on treating the patient current symtoms but also prevents future complications. As cerebral palsy patients mature, the primary symptoms will inevitably lead to futher physical issues that could possibly be avoided. Possible Improvements after Stem Cell Treatment: Now lets talk about the stem cells we use in our treatment protocol for Cerebral Palsy. What are Stem Cells? Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to help perform a variety of regenerative functions such as differentiate and replace a wide range of cells in patients body, regulate the immune system and stimulate patients own stem cells. Adult Stem Cells (ACSs) are naturally present in every human being and their task is to regenerate dead and damaged cells during the bodys whole life span. They regenerate cells that are naturally dying (apoptosis) as well as cells injured by other reasons (disease, traumatic injuries etc.). These stem cells have limited differentiation and proliferation potentials, thus they are not likely to create any tumor or cancer. At Beike Biotech, we are only using Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells (UCBSC) and Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCMSC) in our treatment protocols, which are 2 types of … Continue reading →

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – webmd.com

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2016

If youre looking for relief from menopause symptoms, knowing the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help you decide whether its right for you. HRT (also known as hormone therapy, menopausal hormone therapy, and estrogen replacement therapy) uses female hormones -- estrogen and progesterone -- to treat common symptoms of menopause and aging. Doctors can prescribe it during or after menopause. After your period stops, your hormone levels fall, causing uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, and sometimes conditions like osteoporosis. HRT replaces hormones your body no longer makes. Its the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms. You might think of pregnancy when you think of estrogen. In women of child-bearing age, it gets the uterus ready to receive a fertilized egg. It has other roles, too -- it controls how your body uses calcium, which strengthens bones, and raises good cholesterol in the blood. If you still have your uterus, taking estrogen without progesterone raises your risk for cancer of the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. Since the cells from the endometrium arent leaving your body during your period any more, they may build up in your uterus and lead to cancer. Progesterone … Continue reading →

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Biotechnology Portal Welcome to the Biotechnology portal. Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. Of the many different definitions available, the one declared by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the broadest: Refresh - Edit Portal:Biotechnology/Selected questions/November Biotechnology subcategories: edit Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of an original. A clone in the biological sense, therefore, is a single cell (like bacteria, lymphocytes etc.) or multi-cellular organism that is genetically identical to another living organism. Sometimes this can refer to "natural" clones made either when an organism reproduces asexually or when two genetically identical individuals are produced by accident (as with identical twins), but in common parlance the clone is an identical copy by some conscious design. Also see clone (genetics). The term clone is derived from , the Greek word for "twig". In horticulture, the spelling clon was used until the twentieth century; the final e came into use to indicate the vowel is a "long o" instead of a "short o". Since the term entered the popular lexicon in a more general context, the spelling clone has … Continue reading →

21.6 Pathology – Embryology

Posted: Published on November 20th, 2016

From an embryologic point of view, hypospadias of the penis and scrotum arise from a closure disorder of the urethral groove (spongy part of the urethra) by the urethral folds or the genital swellings, going out from the urethral plate, which has an endodermal origin. The urethral groove closes in the posterior part through fusion of the genital swellings and anteriorly progressively through the closure of the urethral folds up to the glans. The urethra within the glans has an ectodermal origin. So hypospadia glandis can be traced back to a closure disorder of the epithelial lamella on the penile tip and can extend up to the navicular fossa. The cause for this disorder is multi-factorial: besides genetic factors the damaging effects of a hormone therapy with progesterone during the first month of pregnancy also plays a role. An altered synthesis of testosterone (or its derivative) and/or an anomaly of the receptors for this hormone can also be blamed. Under the most frequent abnormalities associated with a hypospadia are penile deviations, a stenosis of the urinary meatus and a deviation of the raphe mediana. Finally, a hypoplasia of the cavernous body, leading to a micropenis, is also not rare. Hormone … Continue reading →

Lumbar Spine | Low Back Pain Treatment | Spinal Stenosis …

Posted: Published on November 20th, 2016

Normal Anatomy The bones of the spine (vertebrae) are stacked on top of each other with soft cushioning discs located in between them (intervertebral discs). These discs are very similar to a jelly doughnut. The outer portion of the disc (called the annulus fibrosus) is like the dough of a jelly doughnut and the inner portion (nucleus pulposus) is similar to the jelly inside the doughnut. In a normal disc, all the nucleus pulposus remains inside the annulus fibrosus. However, if there is a full thickness tear in the annulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus will leak out of that tear. This is similar to a full thickness tear in the dough of the jelly doughnut with the jelly inside it leaking out through that tear. The leaked part of the nucleus/jelly is referred to as a 2 disc herniation. It is also commonly referred to as a herniated disc, disc extrusion, or a slipped disc. The leaked portion of the disc enters the space where the nerve resides and causes compression of the nerve. This compression leads to irritation of the nerve and the subsequent pain, numbness, tingling, paresthesias (feeling of pins and needles), temperature changes, etc. What does a … Continue reading →
