Sept. 7, 2014, 9:03 p.m. SISTERS BEACH, TAS: WHEN Kirk Dicker was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, he and his partner Jo Sharp had no idea about the disease. SPREADING THE WORD: Encouraging people to continue with the Ice Bucket Challenge and donate to motor neurone disease research are (from left) Jo Sharp, Kirk Dicker and the couples son Anthony, 4. Picture: Meg Windram. WHEN Kirk Dicker was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, he and his partner Jo Sharp had no idea about the disease. On June 12, they received the news, unsure of what it meant, Ms Sharp researched MND, discovering it was a terminal disease with no cure and no treatment. "I cried for three days and we still do cry because it's still fresh," Ms Sharp said. The Sisters Beach couple wanted the North-West Coast to fully understand the importance of the Ice Bucket Challenge. "People are getting sick of the Ice Bucket Challenge, but do they really know what it is about?" Ms Sharp asked. Mr Dicker's muscle has started wasting away, beginning at his limbs. He requires special apparatus that are fitted to his feet and calves to ensure he can walk, and he struggles … Continue reading →

Low testosterone and exercise

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2014

Salisbury, North Carolina All right guys, this one is for you. Last week, I wrote about menopause. This week, it's the guy version of hormone changes. There are all kinds of reasons for hypogonadism, which means that the testicles don't produce enough of the male sex hormone testosterone. Or, as we hear it often called, low T. Aging is a big reason for testosterone levels dropping. Around age 30, most men start to experience a gradual decline. Common symptoms from a drop in testosterone can be: Loss of strength Loss of sex drive Being more fatigued Feeling depressed Before you blame it all on low T, have your doctor do a blood test. Nowadays, tests are very accurate and they can determine where your levels are. When they were not so accurate, it was hard to pinpoint the true causes of the symptoms. The symptoms of low T can be mirrored by other medical problems such as diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and coronary disease, to name a few. Again, have your doctor diagnose whether the problem is low testosterone or other medical issues. Read more: Low testosterone and exercise … Continue reading →

United by blood and blindness

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2014

Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare genetic ailment; ANNA OKON writes on this disease and its debilitating effects on three sisters and others Rebecca Samson is 20 years old. Her face wears a happy smile because she has just gained admission into a secondary school, a feat she considered unachievable two years ago. But what would make a 20-year-old so excited about securing admission into secondary school? Rebecca is blind. Her younger sisters are also excited. Funmi and Kemi, aged 18 and 16 respectively, are basking in the euphoria of gaining admission into the same secondary school: Adeniran Grammar School, Ogbomosho, Oyo State. And also like their eldest sister, the two girls are blind. The Samson girls have not always been blind. Darkness crept in on them stealthily one after the other, stealing light from the three sisters between 2010 and 2013. It started with Becky, as Rebecca is fondly called. In 2010, I had just turned 16. I was preparing to go back to school after the holidays but I had problems with my sight. I was having difficulty seeing clearly especially at night. My parents took me to a hospital, the doctor examined me and said I had cataract. … Continue reading →

Researchers Discover a Key to Making New Muscles

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise La Jolla, Calif., September 7, 2014Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) have developed a novel technique to promote tissue repair in damaged muscles. The technique also creates a sustainable pool of muscle stem cells needed to support multiple rounds of muscle repair. The study, published September 7 in Nature Medicine, provides promise for a new therapeutic approach to treating the millions of people suffering from muscle diseases, including those with muscular dystrophies and muscle wasting associated with cancer and aging. There are two important processes that need to happen to maintain skeletal-muscle health. First, when muscle is damaged by injury or degenerative disease such as muscular dystrophy, muscle stem cellsor satellite cellsneed to differentiate into mature muscle cells to repair injured muscles. Second, the pool of satellite cells needs to be replenished so there is a supply to repair muscle in case of future injuries. In the case of muscular dystrophy, the chronic cycles of muscle regeneration and degeneration that involve satellite-cell activation exhaust the muscle stem-cell pool to the point of no return. Our study found that by introducing an inhibitor of the STAT3 protein in repeated cycles, we could … Continue reading →
