Overseas MS treatment sought by hundreds of Australians despite risks and cost

Posted: Published on October 18th, 2014

ABC Sarah Tilbury said she had weighed up the risks and will be heading to the US to recieving the stem cell treatment. Hundreds of Australians annually are heading overseas in search of treatments not available locally for multiple sclerosis (MS), despite knowing there are risks and high costs. Among them is South Australian woman Sarah Tilbury, who is about to head to the United States for a treatment not easily accessible in Australia. When she was in hospital this year after giving birth to her son Oliver, the 26-year-old woman was diagnosed. In the months before the birth she had started having falls. "Not just like someone who's a bit clumsy, my whole right side would get weak and I'd, you know, without warning be on the ground," she said. Ms Tilbury said that, as an otherwise healthy young woman, she was told she was unlikely to experience a rapid onset of symptoms but she was still having problems. "I ended up really not being able to walk without assistance. Tom [my husband] would pretty much have to hold me up and I was dragging my leg a lot of the time," she said. Her health problems meant she … Continue reading →

Study Finds Combination Breast Lift and Augmentation Safe and Efficient

Posted: Published on October 18th, 2014

(PRWEB) October 17, 2014 Arecent study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal has found that performing mastopexy, or breast lift, together with breast augmentation in the same procedure is safe and effective. The study found that complications and necessity of revision surgery were the same as when the procedures were performed separately, effectively making a single procedure more efficient. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chasan discusses the benefits of having augmentation done at the same time as a breast lift. Sometimesbreast augmentationis desired along with a breast lift to give the breasts a fuller, better look, said Dr. Chasan. Performing the augmentation at the same time as the lift saves the patient a second surgery, and gives them their preferred look more quickly. Breast lifts are a complex procedure, butthey are perfectly safewith a board-certified surgeon with years of experience. Mastopexy alone can lift and restore breasts to an extent, but many women prefer a different shape than what only a mastopexy can provide. In these cases, an experienced surgeon will be able to perform an augmentation along with the breast lift in order to achieve the most optimal result for the patient. Breast lifts are not a one-size-fits-all procedure, and … Continue reading →

ACT Reports the Publication of Research on the Scalable Generation of Universal Platelets from Human Induced …

Posted: Published on October 18th, 2014

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. ("ACT"; OTCBB: ACTC), a leader in the field of regenerative medicine, reported today that its proprietary iPSC Platelet technology is potentially capable of producing large-scale quantities of universal donor platelets for transfusion in almost any patient. The research, which appears online (published-ahead-of- print) in Stem Cell Reports the official journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and published by Cell Press by ACT scientists and their colleagues, shows that it is feasible to generate megakaryocytes and platelets from iPSCs in a scalable manner under feeder-free defined conditions. Universal platelets were generated by removing a gene essential to expression of the major histocompatibility (HLA) antigens, which are the main molecules responsible for cell and organ rejection. The platelets generated using this technology are functional and display features that were indistinguishable from those of human blood platelets. The proprietary iPSC technology incorporates several discreet intermediate cells including proprietary hemogenic endothelium like cells. Unlike platelets this technology allows for long term storage of cell material to be available and ready for transfusion within a few days when needed to produce large quantities of platelets from fully differentiated cells. Unlike other sources of platelets, said … Continue reading →
