Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

As we age, even as early as age 30, our internal production of hormones can start to decline. Initially the effects are subtle and vary between individuals. But as we head toward middle age most of us experience adverse symptoms. Symptoms of low hormones vary with the actual hormone that is low. But many deficiencies overlap, for example weight gain can occur from hypoactive thyroid as well as in menopause and andropause. Men with low testosterone and women with low estrogen may also have low DHEA and need treatment for both. Here are some common symptoms of Hormone Deficiency : We used to accept any or all of the above as normal part of getting older. But if we treat the deficiencies that lead to all of the symptoms touched on above a person can feel their best.

Global Life Rejuvenation – Bioidentical hormone …

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

Hormone levels inevitably decline as a man or woman ages. Production of hormones by the body tends to decline -- and become imbalanced -- as we age, and as a result we begin to feel less well and less vigorous. Bioidentical hormone therapy is designed to replenish the hormones that you need to feel good and function at your best! Hormone deficiencies occurs when the production of natural hormones decline in aging adults sometime after the age of 30. Menopause in women and andropause in men are terms for medical conditions that are usually associated with low and imbalanced hormone levels. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the process by which vital hormones like human growth hormone, estrogen and testosterone are replaced on a prescribed schedule to mimic the body's natural process. Bioidentical hormones are natural -- usually plant-based -- substances that have an identical molecular structure and chemical composition as the hormones naturally produced by your body. By contrast, synthetic hormones have intentionally different molecular structures: drug companies can't patent a molecule produced naturally by the human body, so they design synthetic hormones that are molecularly different and therefore patentable -- Premarin, Prempro, and Provera being the most obvious and … Continue reading →

Buddy Check 11: Hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

by WHAS11 editors WHAS11.com Posted on July 11, 2014 at 7:18 AM Updated yesterday at 6:38 PM LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- The top two factors that put you at risk for developing breast cancer are being a woman and age. Unfortunately, you can't do anything about either of those factors, but how you deal with them could play a role in your risk as well. "Nobody in my family ever talked about this. That's one thing about my generation, us Baby Boomers, we are talking about this stuff. maybe we're a little spoiled because we want to feel better like [snap] that, but it really came down to a quality of life issue," Dr. Mindy Warren, hormone replacement therapy patient, said. For July's WHAS11 Buddy Check sponsored by KentuckyOne Health, we're talking about hormone replacement therapy. It's something more than half of post-menopausal women use to fight symptoms like hot flashes, but it also increases your risk of developing breast cancer. Coming up Friday during the 4 p.m. newscast, WHAS11's Kelsey Starks will have much more with Mindy, who's mother died of breast cancer, and her decision about using hormone replacement therapy.

Stem Cells May Ease Urinary Incontinence, Study Says

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

By Maureen Salamon HealthDay Reporter Latest Womens Health News FRIDAY, July 11, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- For the millions of women who can't cough, sneeze or laugh without losing bladder control, researchers are testing a treatment that uses stem cells to regenerate weakened urethra muscles. In a small pilot study, European researchers found that injecting stem cells isolated from patients' own fat tissue improved or eliminated stress incontinence in all participants within a year. Stress incontinence affects about twice as many women as men because of pelvic floor strain from pregnancy and childbirth. Most women who choose to treat the condition undergo a procedure that inserts surgical mesh between the urethra and vagina to reduce urine leakage, urologists said. But widening controversy over the use of surgical mesh makes the idea of stem cell treatment even more attractive. "This is an application that makes sense because of the ease of access to the urethra, which isn't a difficult area to inject," said Dr. Timothy Boone, chairman of urology at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas, who wasn't involved in the study. Globally, similar research is under way on the use of stem cells to treat stress incontinence. However, "a lot of … Continue reading →

Conflicts of interest at stem-cell agency yet again

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

Here we go again. In the decade since California voters established a one-of-a-kind state stem-cell research agency with $3 billion in bond funding, the agency has been in the news over and over because of conflicts of interests. Members of the board governing the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine often are employed by institutions seeking board grants. While these members cant vote directly to give grants to their employers, the incentive for mutually beneficial voting is obvious. Thats why ethical complaints began almost as soon as the first grants were made. Last year, finally, the institute added some strong new safeguards. Its key members then made the rounds at California newspapers to argue that it was time for the medias focus to shift to all the promising work that agency grants had yielded. Their argument seemed reasonable. But this week, the U-T reported that recently resigned institute President Alan Trounson is joining the board of StemCells Inc. which got $19.4 million in grants from the agency. Trounson hasnt broken any law, and agency officials are properly critical of his decision. But this still makes the stem-cell institute look shabby and the timing could hardly be worse. The original $3 billion … Continue reading →

Tricare to restore coverage for up to 40 genetic lab tests

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

The Defense Health Agency, relying on medical laboratory experts and existing authority to conduct medical demonstrations, will restore Tricare coverage this month for up to 40 genetic tests used in patient care. Many of these laboratory-developed tests also called molecular pathology tests are viewed as medically necessary. But Tricare had stopped reimbursing for more than 100 such tests in January 2013, believing it lacked authority to pay for them when such tests are ordered by civilian physicians delivering care through Tricare provider networks Military treatment facilities have continued to order and pay for such tests routinely, which created a startling disparity of coverage between military direct care and purchased care contracts. Senior DHA officials acknowledged the coverage gap last February and vowed to close it. The first step to do so will occur Friday when 30 to 40 genetic tests, those most commonly performed across U.S. medicine, will become reimbursable again under Tricare, as part of a three-year medical demonstration project, said Army Maj. Gen. Richard W. Thomas, chief medical officer and director of healthcare operations for DHA. Among genetic tests to be restored to Tricare coverage is one that determines if a woman who is pregnant or desires to … Continue reading →

stem cell therapy for rotator cuff tears | Stemcelldoc’s …

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2014

Another Success: Treatment of Supraspinatus Tear with StemCells In a previous blog I discussed the clinical success of rotator cuff repair using expanded stem cell therapy. Today we had the opportunity to review MRI images of an elderly patient who also underwent the Regenexx procedure 2 years ago for a supraspinatus tear. ABis an 80y/o patient with neck, headache and shouder pain. Her shoulder pain wassevere and she was unable to lift her shoulder. She declined surgery and elected to proceed with mesenchymal stem cell therapy. Her own stem cells were injected into the rotator cuff tear under x-ray guidance. To understand the differencesin pre and post MRIs, some basic MRIconcepts and anatomy is essential. The image above is the patients pre-injection coronal MRI. The rotator cuff tendon is the area of interest. The rotator cuff is compromised of 4 principle muscles. Muscles have two parts: the muscle belly and the attachment of the muscle to bone(tendon). Tears in the rotator cuff commonly involve the tendon. Above are ABs pre and post MRIs . On the left the rotator cuff tendon(red arrows) are bright in color and mottled in appearance. This means that its a full thicknesstear with severe degeneration. … Continue reading →
