On Thursday important research on stem cells and type 1 diabetes, done by professor Doug Melton, was published in the journal Cell. The results of this study have both wide and very personal implications. Two decades ago, National Geographic reported, the current Harvard professor and stem cell researcher vowed to cure type 1 diabetes. His infant son had just been diagnosed with the disease. Professor Meltons efforts redoubled when, at age 14, his daughter was also diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder. With the publication of this research he may have taken a step towards helping cure this disease. According to National Geographic, Melton has created a virtually unlimited supply of the cells that are missing in people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, which is often diagnosed in children or young adults, affects around three million Americans. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy, according to Mayo Clinic. This is due to the fact that the bodys immune system attacks beta cells in the pancreas, which control insulin production. Professor Melton, along with a whole host of … Continue reading →

By - Associated Press - Friday, October 10, 2014 HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - The 6-year-old girl whose family helped get a law passed in South Carolina allowing people suffering from severe epilepsy to use oil derived from marijuana to control their seizures has received her first dose. Jill Swing said she saw instant improvement last week after her daughter took cannabidiol, which is also known as CBD oil. Before the treatment, Swing says her daughter was having more than 100 seizures during a 45-minute therapy session. After receiving CBD oil, she had 19 seizures during a similar session. Also, she wont quit talking, Swing told The Island Packet of Hilton Head (http://bit.ly/Zih5Zu). Its been delightful. She was nonverbal, but shes saying more words now. Shes a chatterbox, Swing said.

One of the lawmakers that helped get the bill passed that allowed Mary Louise to get her treatment said he will file a bill next session to … Continue reading →

The risk of having another stroke is higher if patients, after dilation of their blood vessels in the brain, not only receive clot-inhibiting drugs, but also have small tubes called stents inserted. However, studies have provided no hint of a benefit from stenting, which is also referred to with the abbreviation "PTAS." This is the conclusion reached in the rapid report of the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG), as published on 9 October 2014. Stents are supposed to prevent restenosis Blood vessels in the brain that are narrowed or blocked can cause stroke. If patients have already had a stroke or temporary ischaemia (transient ischaemic attack, TIA), there is a high risk that this occurs again. These patients therefore receive drugs that prevent blood clotting. Another option is to additionally widen the narrowed vessels. Nowadays this is often done using a small balloon in a procedure known as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). But even after PTA and simultaneous blood-thinning medication, vessels often remain narrow (stenosis) or new narrowing occurs (restenosis). The treatment has therefore been expanded to include stenting (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting, PTAS): Small wire mesh tubes are inserted to support the widened … Continue reading →
