Hospital pioneers Magneto-style stem cell surgery

Posted: Published on February 6th, 2015

HIROSHIMA In a world first, a team at Hiroshima University Hospital on Friday conducted regenerative knee surgery using a technique that employs magnets to concentrate iron-laced stem cells around damaged cartilage, it said. The endoscopic surgery is less arduous for the patient, said the team led by Mitsuo Ochi, a professor at the hospital. Conventional treatment requires two operations to repair cartilage. It will take at least a year to determine the effectiveness of the regenerative technique, though previous tests on animals have proven successful, it said. The team plans to conduct further operations to reaffirm the regenerative surgerys safety in clinical research. In the operation, the team extracted mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow of an 18-year-old female high school student and cultivated them with a dash of iron powder to create magnetic stem cells that can develop into various tissues. The team injected the iron-laced stem cells into the patients right knee joint and used the magnet to concentrate them in areas where cartilage was lost. The stem cells are expected to develop into cartilage. Cartilage absorbs shock and reduces friction between bones so everything moves smoothly, but its regenerative abilities are limited.

Vandals prepare for old rival

Posted: Published on February 6th, 2015

Early in the season, chemistry is key for Idaho After a WAC Championship and a NCAA Tournament berth last season coupled with being picked third in the preseason Big Sky Coaches Poll, the Idaho womens tennis team isnt afforded the luxury of being an unknown going into this years season. I tell the girls every team we play is going to be a team that wants to beat us, Idaho coach Mariana Cobra said. Being picked top three in the Big Sky always puts the target on your back. This message isnt lost on the players either. I think winning conference last year made us known and other teams around the region want to beat us even more now knowing that we got to go to NCAAs, senior Sophie Vickers said. So in a sense, we have a target on our backs a little bit, but going into a new conference, it is a whole different story. The teams in the conference arent the only teams looking to knock off the Vandals. Before they open up Big Sky play Feb. 13, they have two more nonconference matches, the first which is against a former conference opponent in the Seattle U … Continue reading →

Barnes-Jewish recently among first selected for American College of Cardiology Patient Navigator Program

Posted: Published on February 6th, 2015

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 06, 2015 The Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Heart & Vascular Center has recently been selected to participate in the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Patient Navigator Program, the first of its kind in cardiology designed to support hospitals in providing personalized services to heart disease patients and help them avoid a quick return to the hospital. We were one of 35 selected from nearly 300 eligible hospitals across the country, said Nelda Martin, RN, CCNS, ANP-BC, STEMI coordinator at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. This is an exciting opportunity for us. By participating in this program, we will help develop quality improvement strategies and best practices that will be applied not only locally, but nationwide to reduce readmissions and improve patient care. Nearly one in five patients hospitalized with a heart attack, and one in four patients hospitalized with heart failure are readmitted within 30 days of discharge, often for conditions unrelated to the original diagnosis. Readmissions can be related to issues like stresses within the hospital, fragility on discharge, lack of understanding of discharge instructions and inability to carry out discharge instructions. The ACC Patient Navigator Program provides evidence-based approaches to reducing hospital readmissions by meeting the … Continue reading →
