Imaging study looks at brain injury in former NFL players

Posted: Published on March 14th, 2015

A recent study of retired NFL players by Johns Hopkins medical researchers adds to growing evidence linking football with brain damage. The study published last month in the journal Neurobiology of Disease focused on nine retired NFL players, but the results add to a growing body of research and anecdotal accounts associating brain disease with the blows to the head that are a common part of football and other sports. Using an improved brain-imaging technique, Hopkins researchers found evidence of brain injury and repair in the former NFL players while it did not appear in a control group of nine healthy men had who never played professional football. Because of the small number of subjects and lack of consistent results, however, the retired players' cognitive performance tests did not present clear evidence of mental impairment, said the researcher who conducted that part of the study. The sample was also too small to correlate the results of another element of the study, eight cognition tests including measures of word memory, verbal fluency and attention with the images showing damage chiefly in three parts of the brain, the report said. Dr. Jennifer M. Coughlin, the lead project researcher, said the study is … Continue reading →

Stem Cell Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis

Posted: Published on March 14th, 2015

As all patients with MS are aware, the currently available treatments do nothing to cure the disease or repair the damage that it does. At their best, todays crop of disease modifying drugs (DMDs) quiet the disease, thereby improving the quality of life for many of the patients taking them, especially those suffering from relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. However, many of these drugs carry with them risky side effect profiles, and though the newest compounds represent advances over their predecessors, patients are crying out for revolution, not evolution. Stem cells could represent the revolution patients so fervently desire. Because of their ability to transform into almost any type of cell in the human body, stem cells may hold the key to achieving one of the holy grails of modern medicine, the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues. For MS patients, this could potentially mean the reversal of disability, and with it the long dreamt of disposal of wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. We are still a long way from that lofty goal, however, but the first few steps along the path to that salvation are currently being taken. Though stem cell research is advancing in laboratories worldwide, the science of using … Continue reading →

Human rights groups to UN: Arroyo repackaging herself as pitiful victim

Posted: Published on March 14th, 2015

It is the height of irony that Ms. Arroyo is now complaining over violations of her civil and political rights, when she enjoys the most special treatment of detained persons under the Aquino administration. By JANESS ANN J. ELLAO Bulatlat.com MANILA Groups of human rights advocates and peoples lawyers wrote to the United Nations saying that former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is repackaging herself as the pitiful victim, in light of a bid to get her out of detention. British lawyer Amal Alamuddin-Clooney, wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney reportedly filed the complaint before the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UN WGAD) about the violations of Arroyos rights as a detainee. So far, only Arroyos camp has confirmed this report. The British lawyer has yet to issue a statement. The National Union of Peoples Lawyers, through its secretary general Edre Olalia, sent a letter to Vladimir Tochilovsky, chair rapporteur of the UN WGAD, expressing grave concern over Arroyos bid to be released. At the obvious behest of her local lawyers, Mrs. Arroyos running to the UN WGAD is essentially repackaging a violator of human rights into a pitiful victim, Olalia said. Cristina Palabay, secretary general of the Alliance for … Continue reading →
