An Italian doctor has been getting dramatic results with a new type of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, which affects up to 2.5 million people worldwide. In an initial study, Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain - and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zamboni's thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure. Multiple sclerosis, or MS, has long been regarded as a life sentence of debilitating nerve degeneration. More common in females, the disease affects an estimated 2.5 million people around the world, causing physical and mental disabilities that can gradually destroy a patient's quality of life. It's generally accepted that there's no cure for MS, only treatments that mitigate the symptoms - but a new way of looking at the disease has opened the door to a simple treatment that is causing radical improvements in a small sample of sufferers. Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni has put forward the idea that many types of MS are actually caused by a blockage of the pathways that remove … Continue reading →

Cardiovascular System – Human Veins, Arteries, Heart

Posted: Published on August 12th, 2016

[Continued from above] . . . Cardiovascular System Anatomy The Heart The heart is a muscular pumping organ located medial to the lungs along the bodys midline in the thoracic region. The bottom tip of the heart, known as its apex, is turned to the left, so that about 2/3 of the heart is located on the bodys left side with the other 1/3 on right. The top of the heart, known as the hearts base, connects to the great blood vessels of the body: the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary trunk, and pulmonary veins. Circulatory Loops There are 2 primary circulatory loops in the human body: the pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop. Blood Vessels Blood vessels are the bodys highways that allow blood to flow quickly and efficiently from the heart to every region of the body and back again. The size of blood vessels corresponds with the amount of blood that passes through the vessel. All blood vessels contain a hollow area called the lumen through which blood is able to flow. Around the lumen is the wall of the vessel, which may be thin in the case of capillaries or very thick in the case … Continue reading →

Since my last posts, I've had improvement with my foot.I've made several changes to my diet which have changed my overall feeling of well being as well.There's still some other things with the lower GI, but we'll figure them out soon enough.One step at a time, and a little trial and error. Things I have done that have given me some health improvement. I significantly cut back on junk food such as snack cakes, candy (especially chocolate it's a double whammy food allergy nut & made with dairy), chips. I cut out as much food made with/from nuts as possible.No more peanut butter, almond milk, walnut chips, etc. I've known I was lactose intolerant for a long time, but pizza is pretty hard to resist, as is chocolate. I reduced my caffeine intake by at least 50%, and increased my water intake. I avoid foods that contain hydrogenated, and exotic oils such as palm kernel (again a kinda a nut), and seed oils such as cottonseed, sesame, and sunflower. I also increased my fiber intake to help push out some of the rotting food that was stagnating in my body. I've attempted to take a more positive outlook, and removed … Continue reading →

Attendees at a Galaxy training workshop, September 2015 Advances in sequencing technologies means that its now possible for an individual researcher to generate large omics datasets quickly and relatively inexpensively. The most common bottleneck in performing genomics experiments has become the bioinformatics analysis needed to make sense of the data. While the Bioinformatics Core provides a variety of Data Analysis serviceswe also believe in empowering others to be able to do their own analysis. We have considerable experience in runningworkshops that focuson various aspects of bioinformatics and biostatistics and we continue to adapt our courses to address those skills that are currently in high-demand. Recent workshops have coveredtopics such as: RNA-seq analysis, command-line Linux, and cloud computing. We make use ofAmazons computing resourceswhich allows participants to set up a virtual computer thatthey can continue to use after the course ends. We also make all documentation from previous courses available online. During ourweek-longworkshops, we take time to teach the background theory behind topics before moving to a variety of hands-on exercises. We also hosta number of intensive but easy-to-digest one-day eventsproviding practical answers and hands-on techniques to the hottest topics in bioinformatics.

Brain Injury Treatment Centers – Brain and Spinal

Posted: Published on August 10th, 2016

One of the keys to ensuring that recovery from a brain injury is as rapid and complete as possible is to choose the right kind of treatment center. There are several different kinds of centers available to people with traumatic brain injury. Acute hospitals are generally used during the early phases of brain injury, as they are designed to provide emergency care, minimize complications and long-term effects, and provide early treatment. A person who has suffered a brain injury should be treated in an acute hospital, or in an acute unit within a hospital, until he or she has stabilized. The length of stay in an acute hospital depends upon the severity of the brain injury, the length of the coma, whether surgery is necessary, and the presence of complications. Once the patient is stable, he or she is usually moved to the rehabilitation unit within the hospital, or is referred to a rehabilitation hospital. This is where the patient begins the road to recovery, and may receive services such as physical therapy, counseling, speech and language therapy, cognitive therapy, or a combination of some or all of the above. Since the rehab unit or hospital a patient or a … Continue reading →

The timing of the trigger shot is very important. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions for this injection carefully.. Paper Boat Creative / Getty Images The next step in your IVF treatment is triggering the oocytes to go through the last stage of maturation. The eggs must complete their growth and development before they can be retrieved. This last growth is triggered with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Brand names for this include Ovidrel, Novarel, and Pregnyl. Timing this shot is vital. If it's given too early, the eggs will not have matured enough. If given too late, the eggs may be too old and won't fertilize properly. The daily ultrasounds at the end of the last step are meant to time this trigger shot just right. Usually, the hCG injection is given when four or more follicles have grown to be 18 to 20 mm in size and your estradiol levels are greater than 2,000 pg/ML. This shot is typically a one-time injection. (Yeah!) Your doctor will likely give you an exact hour to do this shot. Be sure to follow these instructions! Above, I said that the eggs must complete their development and growth before being retrieved. That's … Continue reading →
