Liverpool hospital tries out new treatments on first trials on humans at NHS sites

Posted: Published on January 2nd, 2015

A Liverpool hospital is testing a new cream which hopes to tackle severe eczema. The cream is being tested on patients at Royal Liverpool Hospital which became one of the first NHS hospitals to be given permission to carry out trials on humans earlier this year. The trial sees either the new cream or a placebo cream given to patients to accurately test the effects of the new medication in reducing inflamed, itchy skin. The new cream is for those with eczema classed in the moderate to severe. Anthony, 37, is one of the patients taking part in the trial. Doctors say he cant be named to protect the trials integrity. He has had eczema for three years and got on the trial through his doctor. The trial Anthony is on sees the cream put on more than 20% of his body. The longer term aim is to reduce the level of itchiness. His eczema covers his back, chest and legs but he doesnt know whether he has been given the trial cream or a placebo cream. Anthony said: I was contacted by my doctor asking if I wanted to get involved in the skin trial. I felt I had … Continue reading →

Teaneck gymnast taking quest to next level of Special Olympics

December 31, 2014, 10:26 PM Last updated: Thursday, January 1, 2015, 3:57 PM At birth, Teanecks Alyssa Sims could fit snugly in her fathers hand she was about the size of his snow glove. VIOREL FLORESCU/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Alyssa Sims, 30, of Teaneck is training for the 2015 World Special Olympics in Los Angeles. Born 2 months premature by cesarean section, she had to fight for life from the moment of delivery. Sims and her mother suffered from a prenatal condition that came close to being fatal for both of them. We were killing each other, said Renee Herriott, Sims mother. As a result, Sims lungs and central nervous system didnt function properly, requiring a 2-month stay in the hospitals neonatal intensive care unit. She developed cerebral palsy. But despite that, Herriott said, progress came quickly so much so that by the time Alyssa was a toddler, it was clear she would excel beyond the hopes of her loving and protective family. They still pinch themselves at the thought that their tiny baby, now a 30-year-old woman, is a world-class Special Olympian. As he watched his daughters wobbly balance on the uneven bars recently at Elite Gymnastics in Hawthorne, Rudolph Sims … Continue reading →

Interstellar brain monitoring

Posted: Published on January 2nd, 2015

HOUSTON, Texas (Ivanhoe Newswire) Remember standing on your head as a kid? After a minute or so you felt lots of pressure? Scientists say the same thing happens when astronauts fly into space. Without gravity, blood flows to the head, which could cause vision changes and impact future missions. Now new cutting edge devices could help answer those questions and help us here on earth. Exploring space. For retired astronaut Ken Bowersox, there's nothing like it. It's kind of a dream like experience to be able to float around while you're working, Ken Bowersox told Ivanhoe. Bowersox completed five missions including one to the International Space Station. But a weightless environment can take its toll. On every one of my flights, said Bowersox, I noticed that additional pressure in my head. NASA scientists believe the loss of gravity is putting pressure on the brain, causing vision changes in astronauts that could jeopardize future long term missions. There's a number of changes in the microgravity environment, Eric Bershad, M.D., Neurologist and Neurointensivist, and Assistant Professor of Neurology and Space Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine told Ivanhoe. That's why Dr. Eric Bershad has developed a new non-invasive way to measure brain … Continue reading →

Two thirds of cancer cases were genetic of bad luck: study

Posted: Published on January 2nd, 2015

TWO thirds of adult cancer cases were the result of genetic bad luck rather than unhealthy living, according to groundbreaking new research from the US. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine scientist Dr Bert Vogelstein said random mutations in DNA were the most common cause of cancer, with the rest caused by environment or inherited genes. But he warned the finding should not be taken as a licence to drink or smoke to excess. "This study shows that you can add to your risk of getting cancers by smoking or other poor lifestyle factors," Dr Vogelstein said. "However, many forms of cancer are due largely to the bad luck of acquiring a mutation in a cancer driver gene regardless of lifestyle and heredity factors." Researchers compared the number of times organ stem cells divided with the risk of cancer in the tissues. Those with the most divisions were generally more prone to tumours. They found 22 of 31 cancer types were caused by random cell mutations - really just genetic misfortune which scientists could not otherwise explain. The remainder, including smoking-related lung cancer and skin cancer, were related to heredity and environmental factors like exposure to harmful chemicals. "Cancer-free longevity … Continue reading →

Two-thirds of cancer cases are "bad luck," study says

Posted: Published on January 1st, 2015

Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online Two-thirds of all adult cancer cases are primarily the result of bad luck, according to the authors of a new study appearing in Fridays edition of the journal Science. Dr. Bert Vogelstein, the Clayton Professor of Oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Dr. Cristian Tomasetti, an assistant professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, developed a statistical model that measured the proportion of cancer incidence across many different tissue types. They found that two-thirds of adult cancer incidence across tissues occur when the random mutations that take place during stem cell division drive cancer through, while the remaining one-third of cases are the result of environmental factors and inherited genes. All cancers are caused by a combination of bad luck, the environment and heredity, and weve created a model that may help quantify how much of these three factors contribute to cancer development, explained Dr. Vogelstein, who is also co-director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Cancer-free longevity in people exposed to cancer-causing agents, such as tobacco, is often … Continue reading →
