American Spine Launches Plasma Rich Platelet Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy Treatments

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2014

Frederick, Maryland (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 American Spine is a practice on the cutting edge, committed to providing the latest, most effective, and innovative treatments for its patients. As part of this philosophy, American Spine joins the excitement surrounding Regenerative Medicine, a modern and progressive field of orthopedics and sports medicine. Regenerative Medicine involves the application of biological therapy treatments that enhance the body's ability to heal itself. Dr. Sandeep Sherlekar, M.D., an owner and physician at American Spine, comments: "PRP and Stem Cell Treatments are revolutionary regeneration options for now and the future." The major benefit of PRP and Stem Cell Therapy Treatments is the use of the patient's own whole blood, bone marrow stem cells and adipose stem cells, thus eliminating the risk of rejection or infection from other donors. These treatments are increasing in popularity as an alternative to other more invasive techniques in treating ailments such as: Muscle Tears, Meniscus and ACL Injuries, Tennis and Golf Elbow, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, various types of Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Spine Disease with either Degenerative Disks or Annular Tearing, Osteoarthritis in the joints and many more. They are used as a way to speed healing after other methods of treatment … Continue reading →

Great Ormond Street stem cell freezing problem may have led to girls death

Technical failures at Great Ormond Street hospital may have contributed to Sophie Ryan-Palmer's death. Photograph: Steve Parsons/PA Archive A 12-year-old cancer patient may have died because of problems in a stem cell freezing process used by Great Ormond Street hospital. Technical failures at the childrens NHS trust could have contributed to the death of Sophie Ryan-Palmer, from Sunbury in Surrey, St Pancras coroners court has been told. In a narrative verdict, the coroner, Mary Hassell, said it was unclear what effect the treatment had but she ruled that the deaths of three other children at the hospital were not connected to difficulties with the medical procedure. The other three children were 13-month-old Ryan Loughran, from Bournemouth, who died in July, four-year-old Katie Joyce, from Hertfordshire, who died in October, and five-year-old Muhanna al-Hayany, who had come from Kuwait to receive the treatment and died in August this year. Responding to the findings, a spokesperson for Great Ormond Street said: This has been an immensely distressing process for all of the families involved. These four young patients were extremely poorly children with complex conditions, and it is frustrating for everyone concerned, especially their families, for it still to be unclear exactly … Continue reading →

Safe IVF in New Zealand – experts respond

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2014

Safe IVF in New Zealand - experts respond November 6, 2014 New Zealand and Australia are world leaders when it comes to safe In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), according to a new report summarising the latest data from the two countries. The Assisted Reproductive Technology in Australia and New Zealand 2012 report contains data about IVF cycles undertaken in 2012 and the resulting babies born in 2012 and 2013. According to the report there were 5,177 assisted reproductive technology treatment cycles performed in New Zealand in 2012, leading to 1,286 babies born. According to the report, rates of IVF multiple births in New Zealand and Australia are among the lowest in the world (6.6% in Australia and 5.2% in New Zealand). Multiple births are a common result of IVF and present a risk to mothers and babies. New Zealand and Australia's low multiple birth rates are thanks to their focus on single-embryo transfer techniques. The report also notes that rates of IVF treatment in Australia are more than double that seen in New Zealand, likely due to different funding and eligibility criteria. Prof Wayne Gillett, Head of Department, Department of Women's & Children's Health, Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago … Continue reading →

A link between DNA transcription and disease-causing expansions

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Nov-2014 Contact: Alex Reid alexander.reid@tufts.edu 617-627-4173 Tufts University @TuftsUniversity Medford/Somerville, Mass--Researchers in human genetics have known that long nucleotide repeats in DNA lead to instability of the genome and ultimately to human hereditary diseases such Freidreich's ataxia and Huntington's disease. Scientists have believed that the lengthening of those repeats occur during DNA replication when cells divide or when the cellular DNA repair machinery gets activated. Recently, however, it became apparent that yet another process called transcription, which is copying the information from DNA into RNA, could also been involved. A Tufts University study published online on November 20 in the journal "Cell Reports" by a research team lead by Sergei Mirkin, the White Family Professor of Biology at Tufts' School of Arts and Sciences, along with former graduate student Kartick Shah and graduate students Ryan McGuity and Vera Egorova, explores the relationship between transcription and the expansions of DNA repeats. It concludes that the active transcriptional state of a DNA segment containing a DNA repeat predisposes it for expansions. The print version of the study will be published on December 11. "There are a great many simple repetitive motifs in our DNA, such as GAAGAAGAA or CGGCGGCGG," … Continue reading →

Genetics Suggest Autism Isnt Just One DisorderIts Hundreds

Posted: Published on November 25th, 2014

Geoffrey Ondrich and Waylon Cude are both 16 years old. Both boys have autism, and both would rather use their computers than do almost anything else in the world. But thats just about all they have in common. Waylon is serious and intense, and so is the way he uses his computer: He spends hours immersed in online role-playing games, and he interned last summer at IBM, programming Linux for websites. On a sunny Friday in October, he leans toward a computer monitor in a testing room at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he is part of a study on the genetics of autism. Waylon focuses diligently on his reaction-time test, frowning to himself when he makes a mistake. Throughout the day, he responds politely to questions, especially factual ones, but doesnt engage in chitchat or commentary. At one point, a clinician who has been testing Waylons motor skills remarks that he is almost as nimble at rearranging tiny plastic pegs with his left hand as he is with his dominant right. Waylon doesnt respond. By contrast, when Geoffrey completes a task for the same study, he gets a few minutes on his iPad, his passport to fun … Continue reading →
