Antony Funnell: Hello and welcome to Future Tense, Antony Funnell here with the second last in our series of summer highlight programmes the very best of the past year or so. There's a room I particularly like in the New Zealand city of Dunedin. It's in the newly refurbished Otago Settlers Museum. It's an old room, high ornate ceilings, polished wooden floors, and around the walls are hundreds of paintings and photographs, a sea of early European settlers; emotionless, stiff, Victorian faces staring out into an unknown future. At first glance the images look uniform and impenetrable, but as you begin to stare at them you realise just how expressive they really are, that they speak of so much more than they first let on; of history and hope, of class and of struggle. Of course the photograph has always been more than just a captured image, a simple record of times past. But has our relationship with the photo changed significantly in the digital era? That's what we're keen to explore on today's program. Today of course we take, alter, crop and share photos like never before. And we use them as badges, symbols of who we are and … Continue reading →

The 'impossible' dream: City firm's MS claims not medically possible, says top researcher

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2015

The numbness entered Kathleen Jaynes' body 19 years ago, and during the intervening years the multiple sclerosis symptom has spread from her toes to her chest. Nothing really changes the numbness, or helps. Which is why, despite her sister's misgivings and her own lingering questions, Jaynes paid $20,000 to receive an experimental stem cell procedure in India through Regenetek, a company led by a now-discredited Winnipeg researcher who fudged his credentials and misled patients. It's not like there are many other sources of hope out there for patients such as Jaynes, 59, who lives in southeast Arizona. "You're a no-option patient," Jaynes said. "You have no other options. I justified it in every way that I could, despite my family saying this guy is not for real. Unless you're in my numb body, you can't know how desperate you feel to not feel that way." In exchange for that money, Jaynes and roughly 70 other patients received what one of Canada's top MS researchers calls an "impossible" promise. In December, Dr. Mark Freedman looked over Regenetek's study protocols, after a reporter drew his attention to the company's claims. Freedman, who is the director of Ottawa Hospital's MS research unit, has … Continue reading →

Ask Dr. K: Inflammatory bowel disease causes lifelong symptoms

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2015

DEAR DOCTOR K >> What is inflammatory bowel disease? DEAR READER >> Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) usually refers to two conditions: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both cause ongoing inflammation of the digestive tract. In both types of inflammatory bowel disease, the body's immune system starts attacking the intestinal tissue. This attack may be an example of "collateral damage." The immune system may be attacking bacteria in the intestine, and cause inflammation of the intestine as a result. Whatever the reason, the immune system does what it shouldn't do: attack normal intestinal tissues. That's why inflammatory bowel disease is called an "autoimmune" disease. In Crohn's disease, inflammation injures the small intestine, although it also can affect the large intestine (and other parts of the body). As a result, the inside lining and deeper layers of the intestinal wall become inflamed and irritated. The lining thickens or wears away in spots. This creates ulcers, cracks, fissures and pockets of pus. Abnormal connections between organs in the digestive tract often form as well. Once Crohn's disease begins, it causes lifelong symptoms that come and go. Symptoms may include: abdominal pain diarrhea sores around the anus drainage of pus or mucus from the … Continue reading →

Helping the Survivors: As More Stroke Patients Live, More Need Rehab Treatment

Posted: Published on January 18th, 2015

His first rehearsal for the Christmas Eve performance was different as well. Weeks ahead, he had painstakingly sounded out each word with the help of speech therapist Pam Smith. Recognizing words, steering them through new pathways in his brain, is an ongoing challenge for Cleveland. It's been that way since a stroke on April 9 almost killed him. More stroke patients now survive brain attacks that would have killed them a few years ago, and stroke has dropped from the fourth- to the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S., the federal government said in late 2014. With higher survival rates comes an increasing need for stroke rehabilitation programs for people like Cleveland, 41, who deal with varying disabilities. In fact, stroke is one of the leading causes of disability. "Sometimes I cry a lot," the longtime Christian musician said. "There are a lot of difficult things. I think to myself 'It's too hard.'" At other times, he … Continue reading →
