Stanford surgeon's love of Rodin leads to high-tech exhibit

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

The hands sculpted by Auguste Rodin are among the late 19th century's most expressive works of art. They are also in desperate need of a good doctor. On display at Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center, one has several broken fingers. Another seems to suffer from a cyst on a nerve. A third may have symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A fourth is missing a thumb. We know this because we can share in the science -- through art -- of medical diagnosis, on display at the exhibit "Inside Rodin's Hands," which runs through Sunday. The internal anatomy of 10 different Rodin hands are re-created in a high-quality 3-D virtual model built by a Stanford team, using CT scans of modern hands with similar ailments. Dr. James Chang is photographed with The Three Shades at the Rodin Sculpture Garden at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University in Palo Alto on July 30, 2014. (Gary Reyes/Bay Area News Group) Visitors can view the underlying structures -- bones, nerves and blood vessels -- from every angle, via an iPad. It's like seeing Rodin's hands through the eyes of a surgeon. A diagnosis for each hand has been prepared by Dr. James Chang, a … Continue reading →

Atlantic Neurosurgical Specialists (ANS) Remains The Leader in Stroke, Spine & Brain Tumor Treatment

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) July 30, 2014 Stroke Treatment Atlantic NeuroSurgical Specialists continues to be a leader in the war against stroke. In 2012, ANS became the first group of doctors in the country trained on the Trevo Pro Retriever following approval by the FDA. This product is part of a new category of devices known as stent-trievers. Unlike prior devices, these stent-trievers allow ANS physicians to immediately restore blood flow to the patients brain by opening up the blockage instantaneously while it is removed from the artery. In fact, ANS was one of only a few sites to be chosen for the initial FDA trial for this technology. "The practice remains the largest private neurosurgical practice in New Jersey treating stroke, with a success rate greater than the national average," states ANS director of marketing Tom Wood. ANS was the initial group to treat stroke at the first comprehensive stroke center in New Jersey, and has since expanded to 3 additional comprehensive centers. The endovascular team is engaged in clinical trials for new stroke technologies and therapies, giving patients access to the next generation of stroke management. Spine All of ANSs neurosurgeons are board-certified and most notably, 5 of ANSs … Continue reading →

Stroke patient transfers to Vancouver criticized

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

CT scan showing damage in the brain of a stroke victim. image credit: rsucardiff.org.uk Hospitals in Surrey, Abbotsford and New Westminster that are Fraser Health's designated centres to treat stroke victims have so far failed to provide optimum care for them and redirect too many of those patients to Vancouver instead. That's one of the findings of a health ministry-ordered review of the health authority released earlier this month. Many ischemic strokes can be effectively treated with clot-busting thrombolytic drugs, but time is of the essence patients need to get to to stroke specialists within three to four hours for the treatment to be useful. Too often, the review report said, those patients are diverted to Vancouver General Hospital instead of designated Fraser hospitals, adding extra delay when they should be treated in the region as quickly as possible. The report said Royal Columbian Hospital has the expertise to treat those stroke victims but "capacity issues in the RCH emergency department make this site reluctant to accept more patient volume." Surrey Memorial Hospital's ER and neurology departments haven't embraced the use of thrombolytic drugs for stroke cases, it said, and Abbotsford Regional has made "some efforts" to meet its role … Continue reading →

Kessler funded as satellite site for NIH Stroke Trials Network

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 30-Jul-2014 Contact: Carolann Murphy CMurphy@KesslerFoundation.org 973-324-8382 Kessler Foundation West Orange, NJ. July 30, 2014. A new network of 25 regional stroke centers and satellite facilities - the NIH Stroke Trials Network (NIH StrokeNet) is working to change the way stroke research is conducted in the U.S. Despite advances of the last two decades, stroke remains a major public health problem. Each year, stroke causes death or disability for 795,000 Americans. The numbers are expected to rise rapidly with the aging of the population. To accelerate the pace of progress, NIH StrokeNet brings together teams of research experts specializing in prevention, treatment and recovery. NIH StrokeNet investigators, working with the broader stroke community, are identifying priorities for stroke research protocols and providing training opportunities for the future generation of stroke researchers. "The new system is intended to streamline stroke research by centralizing approval and review, lessening time and costs of clinical trials, and assembling a comprehensive data sharing system," said Petra Kaufmann, M.D., associate director for clinical research at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which funds and manages NIH StrokeNet. The goal is to initiate four or five NINDS-funded exploratory Phase I and II … Continue reading →

Research Identifies New Frontiers for Cerebral Palsy Treatment

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Of cerebral palsy, caregivers and patients know this is an understatement: its not easy. The permanently debilitating condition, which occurs in babies from the prenatal stage to toddlers, comes with more than its fair share of lifelong challenges from mobility problems to developmental setbacks. One of the biggest challenges posed to physicians when treating cerebral palsy patients is the problem of gait, or a patients movement patterns. In those patients, brain damage limits their arm and leg motor functions, which affects posture and free movement in the limbs. But the clinical problem for the physicians, at least is identifying gait issues, as it can be difficult to support a patients mobility functions without knowing their true extent. New research from the Motion and Sports Lab at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, however, may give children with cerebral palsy better treatment options in the future and it all starts with looking at how cerebral palsy patients move compared to their peers. The research, conducted by Baylors Scott Coleman along with investigators in Sweden, involved the study of three-dimensional gait analysis (GA) in both patients with and without cerebral palsy. By comparing the … Continue reading →

Brain injury victim walks for first time in 23 years

Posted: Published on July 30th, 2014

TOOWOOMBA mother Coralie Graham hopes more research will be done into reverse stroke therapy in Australia after witnessing a remarkable improvement in her son. Joel Shepherd, 26, has undergone two perispinal Etanercept treatments in the past fortnight at a US medical institute in Los Angeles. Injections of a drug usually used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis have relieved the effects of a brain injury Mr Shepherd suffered as a three-year-old boy. "The fact that he can walk more independently, now with little help, is definitely the biggest improvement we've seen since the second treatment," Mrs Graham said. WHAT'S HOT ONLINE "His concentration and conversation has also improved." She said it was amazing to see Joel taking steps. "He hasn't been able to walk like this since he was a toddler, before the injury, 23 years ago." The result has made worthwhile the preparation, saving and community support to get Mr Shepherd to the Institute of Neurological Recovery. Mrs Graham said there was no reason to believe the results were not permanent. Here is the original post: Brain injury victim walks for first time in 23 years … Continue reading →
