USF Obtains NSF Grant for 3D Virtual Reality Research

Posted: Published on July 16th, 2014

Supported by a $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, the The CAREN system will be a critical part of the universitys neuromusculoskeletal, traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder research initiatives involving wounded warriors, warfighters and student veterans, Dr. Quillen said. The system will greatly facilitate our ongoing interdisciplinary research to analyze human mobility and function and to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by increasing their independence and community reintegration. USF purchased the CAREN system with the support of grant from the National Science Foundation. This system integrates a lot of technologies typically used individually like a split belt treadmill with force-sensing plates, a moveable base and motion capture analysis to really help us better understand how an individual walks and moves in different terrains and environments, said Kyle Reed, PhD, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering. The CAREN project will bring together more than 20 investigators with expertise in rehabilitation engineering and science from the colleges of Engineering, Medicines School Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Behavioral and Community Sciences, Nursing, and Virtual and Performing Arts. They will collaborate with researchers from James A. Haley Veterans Hospital and Draper … Continue reading →

Health Canada warns testosterone therapy may pose cardiovascular risks

Posted: Published on July 16th, 2014

TORONTO -- Health Canada is warning consumers and health-care providers about a potential risk of serious and life-threatening cardiovascular problems linked to testosterone replacement therapy for men. Testosterone replacement products are used in men whose bodies don't make enough of the hormone, causing such effects as flagging libido, low energy, loss of muscle, mood swings and disturbed sleep. A recent Health Canada safety review found a growing body of evidence suggesting that the use of replacement testosterone may pose an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, blood clots in the lungs or legs, and heart rhythm irregularities. The federal department says testosterone replacement products should not be used in men for non-specific symptoms if lab tests have not confirmed a low testosterone level, nor should they be used in children under 18 nor in women. Men should advise their doctor of any history of cardiovascular disease or symptoms that might indicate such disease before using testosterone replacement therapy. The agency also says health providers should assess patients for cardiovascular disease risks before prescribing testosterone and closely monitor men who begin hormone replacement. In Canada, 12 testosterone replacement products are approved for sale, including such brand-name products as Androderm, Delatestryl, Androgel … Continue reading →

Stem Cells LupusStem Cell Treatments

Posted: Published on July 16th, 2014

Systemic lupus erythermatosus, often abbreviated to SLE or lupus, is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease (or autoimmune connective tissue disease) that can affect any part of the body. As occurs in other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the bodys cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage.[2] SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remissions. The disease occurs nine times more often in women than in men, especially women in child-bearing years ages 15 to 35, and is more common in those of non-European descent.[3] [4] [5] In SLE, the bodys immune system produces antibodies against itself, particularly against proteins in the cell nucleus. SLE is triggered by environmental factors that are unknown. All the key components of the immune system are involved in the underlying mechanisms [of SLE] according to Rahman, and SLE is the prototypical autoimmune disease. The immune system must have a balance (homeostasis) between being sensitive enough to protect against infection, and being too sensitive and attacking the bodies own proteins (autoimmunity). From an evolutionary perspective, according to Crow, the … Continue reading →

Freeport, Bahamas (PRWEB) July 15, 2014 Okyanos Heart Institute, a leader in cardiac adult stem cell therapy, has selected Perkins Healthcare Technologies to provide video integration solutions for its new state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab. The video integration system is paired with Phillips equipment, creating a top-grade comprehensive solution for the cath lab by providing the ability to view high definition clinical cardiac procedures video information on a large screen collaged layout 8-megapixel display. Built to US surgical standards, the lab equipment is being installed over the next few weeks, bringing the highest standard of care and most advanced technology to cardiac care. Okyanos Heart Institute utilizes adult stem cells derived from ones own adipose (fat) tissue, placing them in the heart to help it repair damaged or diseased tissue. This is done using a minimally invasive catheterization procedure, as demonstrated in multiple rigorous clinical trials from around the world. Okyanos Chief Medical Officer Howard T. Walpole, Jr., M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.A.I. noted, The most important functions of the video integration system are to provide high quality images with the right projections of the image. When you visualize a heart, you need to be able to get a complex angle to … Continue reading →
