Katie Maytum says treatment was delayed because she was under 35 She has terminal breast cancer and been told she has 18 months to live Cancer experts said she would have survived if not for treatment delay Court heard being on contraceptive pill also put her at higher risk Experts said pill can reduce the body's ability to fighttumours Ms Maytum is now suing for 750,000compensation By Hannah Parry For Mailonline Published: 04:40 EST, 26 November 2014 | Updated: 05:24 EST, 26 November 2014 A dying mother who has been told she has just 18 months to live would have been saved if she started getting cancer treatment five months earlier, a court heard. Katie Maytum, now 35, is suing the Welsh NHS for 750,000, claiming surgeons ignored official guidelines and refused her treatment because she was too young. The mother-of-two, who has terminal breast cancer, told the High Court in Cardiff that she was forced to wait five and half months before being seen by a specialist. She has now been told by doctors that she has only less than two years to live, robbing her of the chance to see her children grow up. Katie Maytum, (left) pictured … Continue reading →

UTMB part of national research group awarded $20 million HIV grant

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Nov-2014 Contact: Donna Ramirez donna.ramirez@utmb.edu 409-772-8791 University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston @utmb_news The University of Texas Medical Branch is part of a collaboration led by the Oak Crest Institute of Science that received a $20 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a novel intravaginal ring capable of delivering powerful antiretroviral drugs to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted HIV in women. The total award to UTMB is approximately $2.5 million. After more than 40 years of research, prevention of HIV infection continues to be a critical global health priority. The World Health Organization reports that there are approximately 35 million people currently living with HIV, with about 70 percent from Sub-Saharan Africa. Intravaginal rings, available commercially for contraception and hormone replacement therapy, show promise as a drug delivery system to prevent HIV infection, but most prototypes can't deliver multiple-drug combinations of the many available HIV antiretroviral drugs. While combinations of three antiretroviral drugs are highly successful in treatment of HIV/AIDS, their use in an intravaginal rings platform for HIV prevention has not been possible until now. This project is, in large part, enabled by the pod-intravaginal ring platform. The team has … Continue reading →

UCLA Researchers Identify Protein Key To The Development Of Blood Stem Cells

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2014

November 25, 2014 Provided by Peter Bracke, UCLA Understanding the self-replication mechanisms is critical for improving stem cell therapies for blood-related diseases and cancers Led by Dr. Hanna Mikkola, a member of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, UCLA scientists have discovered a protein that is integral to the self-replication of hematopoietic stem cells during human development. The discovery lays the groundwork for researchers to generate hematopoietic stem cells in the lab that better mirror those that develop in their natural environment. This could in turn lead to improved therapies for blood-related diseases and cancers by enabling the creation of patient-specific blood stem cells for transplantation. The findings are reported online ahead of print in the journal Cell Stem Cell. Researchers have long been stymied in their efforts to make cell-based therapies for blood and immune diseases more broadly available, because of an inability to generate and expand human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in lab cultures. They have sought to harness the promise of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), which can transform into almost any cell in the human body, to overcome this roadblock. HSCs are the blood-forming cells that serve as the critical … Continue reading →

Pathology specialist contributes to debate on breast cancer gene screening

Posted: Published on November 26th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 25-Nov-2014 Contact: Amy Blustein ablustein@wihri.org 401-681-2822 Women & Infants Hospital @womenandinfants There has been much recent debate on the benefits and risks of screening for breast cancer using BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the general adult population. With an estimated 235,000 new breast cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S. and more than 40,000 deaths, it is clearly important to be able to determine which women may be genetically predisposed to breast cancer. Glenn E. Palomaki, PhD, associate director of the Division of Medical Screening and Special Testing in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island has recently published an invited commentary in the November issue of Genetics in Medicine. The commentary is entitled "Is it time for BRCA1/2 mutation screening in the general adult population? Impact of population characteristics." A family history of breast or ovarian cancer or a personal history of early-onset cancer are strong risk factors for breast cancer. Systematic criteria when caring for a patient with a positive family history have been well established by such agencies as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Dr. Palomaki said, "With the … Continue reading →
