Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

Though Maggie (Kelly McCreary) arrived at Grey Sloan Memorial long after the hospital shootingboth of themthe bomb in the body, and the plane crash, shell get her first taste of danger during Thursdays episode of Greys Anatomy when she gets sucker punched by a patient. The best part, for me, was that the patient who punches Maggie is the dad from The Wonder Years, Dan Lauria, McCreary tells EW. I had my first total fan girl, geek-out moment while we were shooting because I loved that show as a kid. I was like, As long as its Dan Lauria, sure. Go right ahead, punch me in the face. The incident ends up being a big turning point for Maggie. It turns out to be this reallyfor lack of a better wordstriking moment in the episode where you figure out what the problem with this patient is, McCreary says. Im working on a case with Ben [Jason George] and Richard [James Pickens Jr.] involving a patient who exhibits signs of Alzheimers and Maggie winds up having an epic foot in her mouth moment where she gets on the familys case for not keeping the patient out of danger. This, of course, … Continue reading →

Public dissection will be first since days of Burke and Hare

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

NC Cadavers will form part of public lectures in Edinburgh with a series of six workshops beginning next month. The lectures will feature the dissection of a real human arm to get under the skin to the real flesh and bones of anatomy. The day-long sessions, which cost 100 each, are the first to be held in the city since its medical school was embroiled in the murder spree committed by William Hare and William Burke. The pair suffocated 16 victims, who were sold to the medical school for around 7 each. In 1832 the Anatomy Act was passed, banning public dissections. But the passing of the Human Tissue (Scotland) Act, 2006, has paved the way for universities to revive public anatomy lectures as long as they deal ethically and appropriately with human remains. Edinburgh Universitys Professor Thomas Gillingwater, the academic behind the project, said: If you go back to the early 1800s, the public were more clued up on anatomy than they are now. Back then, dissection was done publicly. You could buy tickets. For some it was entertainment, but for others it was a way of feeding curiosity and finding out what was going on. He added: We … Continue reading →

Teen with debilitating digestive disease conquers 13.1 miles for Crohn's disease & ulcerative colitis

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

NEW YORK, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Sixteen years old, bald, and beautiful, Chayla may look like she has cancer, but she doesn't. Chayla is one of the 1.6 million Americans living with an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). "Even though l lost my hair, have missed over 3 months of my junior year of high school, and have been stuck in the hospital for nearly two months, I am trying to keep a smile on my face. I haven't felt well in 10 months. I almost forget what it feels like to feel normal. But I know this isn't forever. I am a fighter and I will not lose this battle," Chayla says. Chayla was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when she was just eight months old. She lives every day with the debilitating symptoms associated with IBD. However, that hasn't stopped her from running three half-marathons and raising $14,000 through the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America's (CCFA) Team Challenge endurance training program. "I've spent the majority of my life hiding in the shadow of my disease, not understanding what was going on with me and not seeking support for dealing with it," says Chayla. "It wasn't until two years ago … Continue reading →

Researchers ID Potential Treatment for Form of Muscular Dystrophy

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

The University of Virginia Medical Center is making strides in finding a treatment for myotonic dystrophy, which the most common type of muscular dystrophy. The potential treatment is an experimental drug currently used to treat other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. In lab tests, mice with myotonic dystrophy that were given this drug had better muscle function and improved strength. Doctors are hopeful that this could also be applied to humans. "The goal here would be to block the inflammation that is occurring in the muscles because it appears that that inflammation, the longer it goes on in these chronic diseases, the more it leads to muscle degradation and muscle break down," said Erin Foff, assistant professor at the UVA Medical Center Department of Neurology. The drug will now need to go through clinical trials with myotonic dystrophy patients. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March 17, 2015 A doctor who was one of the discoverers of the gene responsible for myotonic muscular dystrophy has now identified a therapeutic that could slow progression of muscle damage and muscle dysfunction associated with the disease issues that cause patients significant disability and deterioration in quality of life. The potential treatment is an experimental drug currently being … Continue reading →

Lundbeck Initiates Clinical Trial Evaluating Clobazam for Dravet Syndrome

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

Dravet syndrome is one of the more challenging forms of epilepsy and has a profound impact on an individuals life, requiring constant care that can take a significant emotional toll on caregivers, said Elaine Wirrell, MD, lead investigator of the study and pediatric neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. The CLOVER I Study will help us better understand the effect of clobazam on Dravet syndrome in this patient population, and hopefully provide more information for both physicians and their families when considering treatment options. The CLOVER I Study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in pediatric patients aged one to 16 years of age with Dravet syndrome. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of clobazam on the frequency of tonic-clonic and clonic seizures after 16 weeks of treatment.2 The multicenter study will enroll 54 patients in approximately 25 sites in three countries: Argentina, Mexico and the United States.3 At the end of the study, participants may have the option of joining the CLOVER II study (a 52-week, open-label extension study). Lundbeck has a deep commitment to the epilepsy community, with a particular focus on those living with rare … Continue reading →

State Medicaid could see increases in hepatitis C and autism treatments

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2015

The Legislature's Appropriations Committee heard from state health officials Monday that millions of dollars will be needed for new hepatitis C treatments for Medicaid recipients. The treatment for hepatitis C, a contagious liver disease that ranges in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness, could cost nearly $6.5 million in the next two-year budget, said Calder Lynch, the new director of Medicaid and Long-term Care for the Department of Health and Human Services. The illness results from infection by the hepatitis C virus, which is spread primarily through contact with the blood of an infected person. Lynch also told the committee the department is involved in a lawsuit regarding providing Medicaid behavioral health services for children on the autism spectrum and with developmental disabilities. At issue is coverage of intensive behavior interventions as an appropriate treatment for children with autism. It is estimated that 2,305 Nebraska children covered by Medicaid would be able to receive the treatments over a full 12 months. If the court would also order intensive behavior interventions for children with developmental disabilities, outside the autism spectrum, that could add another 781 children. The cost for the treatments would be … Continue reading →
