Posted: Published on February 18th, 2015

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Only fifteen people in the country have received a bionic eye, but you can count one blind man from Forest Lake as another on the list. It has been years since Allen Zderad has been able to see anyone in his family, even his grandson who suffers from the same retinal condition, but now he is seeing life in a whole new way. "You could see that there was a bright outline, and he could see the outline of his wife's head, and it was the first moment that he could have some perception of his wife's appearance," says Dr. Raymond Iezzi who performed the operation on Zderad. He has been suffering from retinal degeneration his whole life, a particular type so severe that it is only seen in 1 of 4,000 people. "With Retinitis pigmentosa patients lose the pixels in the retina, and in only a subset of patients, maybe 8% or 10% of patients with advanced Retinitis pigmentosa they go on to lose their central sight," explains Dr. Iezzi. Enter Dr. Iezziand his team at Mayo Clinic, who have given Zderad a bionic eye, the first Minnesotan to receive one. "Well in many ways … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on February 18th, 2015

Senior Citizens Get More Plastic Surgery Procedures, Particularly Tummy Tucks, Given Improving Economy Better economy leads seniors to get more plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Michelle Hardaway, owner of the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Laser Center in Farmington Hills, said that more seniors are having a variety or procedures, especially tummy tucks. The improving economy has let seniors opt for getting procedures that make them look and feel better, said Dr. Hardaway. If seniors are healthy, there is no reason why they shouldnt undergo these safe procedures. They will look better and improve their lives emotionally and psychologically. A recent extensive study conducted by the CosmetAssure database over a five-year period reported that cosmetic procedures are just as safe for the elderly as the young. This finding is important because as the population ages, more elderly patients are seeking cosmetic surgery. The postoperative complications rates for most cosmetic procedures in the elderly were not statistically different than for younger patients, the report stated. She said that seniors have traditionally sought facelifts but now they are also having tummy tucks. Some of her patients are in their mid-70s. The Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center is located at 27920 Orchard Lake Road just north … Continue reading →

Drug Trial Fraud and Misconduct Hidden from Journal Publishers and Public

Posted: Published on February 18th, 2015

Fraud & Misconduct Hidden from Journal Publishers & Public The documents were uncovered through freedom-of-information requests from Charles Seife, a professor at the Arthur L. Carter Institute of Journalism at New York University. Seife and his students cross-referenced FDAs actions against available published peer-reviewed studies. Their results are published in the most recent online issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, Medical News Today reports. The group found bad practices ranging from falsification of results to poor record keeping in the 57 trials that received action between 1998 and 2013. Official action indicated (OAI) is the FDAs most severe form of clinical trial violation. In the 2013 fiscal year, Seife reports, about 2 percent of the FDAs 644 inspections at trial sites were classified OAI. A study published in 2012, for example, makes positive claims about a stem cell treatment for 26 patients with severe loss of blood circulation to their legs. The study cited major clinical improvements for all, but did not mention that one patient had the leg amputated two weeks after the treatment. The FDA took action but Seife found no correction or retraction of the published results. In another case, the FDA deemed an entire study unreliable but … Continue reading →
