Watch brave cancer battler Ulrika Dandekar make a desperate appeal for a stem cell donor

Posted: Published on September 15th, 2014

Watch Ulrika's appeal. Can you help, before it is too late? Time is running out for brave Ulrika Dandekar who is desperately in need of a stem cell transplant after being diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer. For Ulrika, aged 21, from Solihull, has been readmitted to hospital after discovering more than 15 cancerous lumps on her body. She has undergone another round of chemotherapy in the hope of combating the cancer, called Anaplastic Lymphoma, at Heartlands Hospital, and will have to wait at least two weeks before she will find out if its worked. VIEW GALLERY Previous treatment had seen a reduction in the size of another cancerous growth But during a holiday to Turkey in August, Ulrika, known as Riya, noticed that a small lump on the side of her body, which was thought to be an insect bite, had grown. She explained: I had been given the okay to go on holiday to Turkey with my mum, but just before going away, I noticed a small lump which looked just like an insect bite. The doctors thought it was nothing to worry about but I was given antibiotics. However, when we got abroad it just … Continue reading →

Plastic surgery-obsessed Venezuela hit by shortage of breast implants

Posted: Published on September 15th, 2014

Hannah Dreier, The Associated Press Published Monday, September 15, 2014 6:48AM EDT Last Updated Monday, September 15, 2014 7:02AM EDT CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's chronic shortages have begun to encroach on a cultural cornerstone: the boob job. Beauty-obsessed Venezuelans face a scarcity of brand-name breast implants, and women are so desperate that they and their doctors are turning to devices that are the wrong size or made in China, with less rigorous quality standards. Venezuelans once had easy access to implants approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But doctors say they are now all-but impossible to find because restrictive currency controls have deprived local businesses of the cash to import foreign goods. It may not be the gravest shortfall facing the socialist South American country, but surgeons say the issue cuts to the psyche of the image-conscious Venezuelan woman. "The women are complaining," said Ramon Zapata, president of the Society of Plastic Surgeons. "Venezuelan women are very concerned with their self-esteem." Venezuela is thought to have one of the world's highest plastic surgery rates, and the breast implant is the seminal procedure. Doctors performed 85,000 implants here last year, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. … Continue reading →

Albany, NY (PRWEB) September 15, 2014 Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. Stem cell therapy can be applied to treatment of cardiovascular diseases, leukemia (a kind of hematological system disease), nervous system diseases, damage or lesion of liver, kidney and other parenchymal organs, etc.. View Full Report at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/223134 Currently, cord blood bank is the fastest-growing and relatively mature market amid stem cell upstream sectors and even the whole industry chain. In 2005, there were 23 cord blood banks worldwide and in 2013 the figure exceeded 480. Global cord blood stem cell (CBSC) storage companies can be roughly divided into two categories: the ones running in a globalized business model, such as Cryo-Cell International and Esperite (formerly known as Cryo-Save Group), and the others giving priority to regional operation e.g. Zhongyuan Union Stem Cell Bioengineering (VCANBIO), Golden Meditech and LifeCell International. However, the companies mainly engaged in cord blood bank business are currently small in scale, only a few with more than 500,000 clients.

Delay in age of walking can herald muscular dystrophy in boys with cognitive delays

Posted: Published on September 15th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 15-Sep-2014 Contact: Ekaterina Pesheva epeshev1@jhmi.edu 410-502-9433 Johns Hopkins Medicine @HopkinsMedNews The timing of a toddler's first steps is an important developmental milestone, but a slight delay in walking is typically not a cause of concern by itself. Now a duo of Johns Hopkins researchers has found that when walking and cognitive delays occur in concert, the combination could comprise the earliest of signals heralding a rare but devastating disorder known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The study, published ahead of print in The Journal of Pediatrics and conducted by a medical student and a pediatric neurologist, reveals that delays in the onset of walking which should occur between 9 and 16 months of age are common among boys with DMD and often happen alongside cognitive delays. That combination, the investigators say, can give pediatricians a critical early diagnostic clue and tip them off to the presence of DMD. "Our review of patient records shows that delayed walking along with cognitive delays represents an ominous combination that should prompt pediatricians to conduct further testing and could speed up diagnosis and treatment," says Kara Mirski, a fourth-year medical student at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "Earlier diagnosis … Continue reading →

You don't walk alone

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 13-Sep-2014 Contact: Philly Lim mllim@wspc.com 656-466-5775 World Scientific @worldscientific 65 million people around the world today suffer from epilepsy, a condition of the brain that may trigger an uncontrollable seizure at any time, often for no known reason. A seizure is a disruption of the electrical communication between neurons, and someone is said to have epilepsy if they experience two or more unprovoked seizures separated by at least 24 hours. Epilepsy is the most common chronic disease in pediatric neurology, with about 0.5% of children developing epilepsy during their lifetime. A further 30% of epileptic children develop refractory epilepsy, a particular type of epilepsy that cannot be managed by antiepileptic drugs (AED). Regardless of etiology, children with refractory epilepsy are invariably exposed to a variety of physical, psychological and social morbidities. Patients whose seizures are difficult to control could benefit from non-pharmacological therapies, including surgery, deep brain stimulation and ketogenic diets. Therefore, the early identification of patients whose seizures are refractory to AED would allow them to receive alternative therapies at an appropriate time. Despite idiopathic etiology being a significant predictor of a lower risk of refractory epilepsy, a subset of patients with idiopathic epilepsy might still … Continue reading →

USC researchers discover the healing power of 'rib-tickling'

Posted: Published on September 15th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 12-Sep-2014 Contact: Cristy Lytal lytal@med.usc.edu 323-442-2172 University of Southern California - Health Sciences Unlike salamanders, mammals can't regenerate lost limbs, but they can repair large sections of their ribs. In a new study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, a team directed by USC Stem Cell researcher Francesca Mariani takes a closer look at rib regeneration in both humans and mice. The first author of the paper, USC medical student Marissa K. Srour, was a USC undergraduate when she started the project, which earned a 2011 USC Discovery Scholar Prize. Each year, 10 graduating seniors win these coveted prizes, which recognize exceptional new scholarship. Using CT imaging, Srour, Mariani and their colleague Janice Lee from the University of California, San Francisco, monitored the healing of a human rib that had been partially removed by a surgeon. The eight centimeters of missing bone and one centimeter of missing cartilage did partially repair after six months. To better understand this repair process, they surgically removed sections of rib cartilage ranging from three to five millimeters from a related mammal, mice. When they removed both rib cartilage and its surrounding sheath of tissue called the "perichondrium," the missing … Continue reading →

Center for Vascular Medicine Offers Genetic Testing For Personalized Vascular Care

Posted: Published on September 15th, 2014

Greenbelt, MD (PRWEB) September 15, 2014 With a simple swab of the cheek, the physicians at Center for Vascular Medicine can gain valuable insight to help personalize the treatment for patients with vascular disorders, including peripheral artery disease (PAD). The ideal approach to medicine is preventive care. But, it can be difficult for a doctor to predict how a patient will respond to specific drugs. A simple cheek swab test can be used to identify a patients genetic makeup, allowing the physician to tailor medical therapy and optimize outcomes. By tailoring the dose and regimen of pharmaceutical treatment to the patients genetics, we are able to deliver more effective therapy and avoid unwanted side effects, says Sanjiv Lakhanpal MD, founder of the Center for Vascular Medicine. The mapping of the human genome in 2003 gave researchers insight into Cytochrome P450 (CYP450), a group of enzymes that are involved in drug metabolism. The test creates a road map for the individual to enable the physician to predict the effectiveness of certain drugs. For example, blood thinners which are commonly prescribed to patients with vascular conditions. Many adults in the United States routinely take five or more prescription medications. This is particularly … Continue reading →
