By Jim Kasuba The News-Herald Twitter: @JKasuba Elizabeth Disney (left) turned out to be a suitable blood stem donor for her sister, Brittany, who is afflicted with Burkitt lymphoma, considered to be an extremely rare disease for a young woman of only 23. Photo courtesy of Donna Smith RIVERVIEW Battling a rare cancer has been a rough road for Brittany Disney, but the worst may be behind her. The good news is that a suitable stem cell donor has been found and the transplant surgery went well. The not-so-good news is that theres a long recovery period and shes still in a lot of pain. Donna Smith, a close friend of the family, said the young woman underwent stem cell replacement on June 6. There was a one in four chance that a sibling would be a match, Smith said. (Her sister) Elizabeth had five out of six markers to be a stem cell donor for her. Disney, 23, was diagnosed late last year with stage four Burkitt lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma in which cancer starts in immune cells called B-cells. Recognized as the fastest growing human tumor, Burkitt lymphoma is associated with impaired immunity and is rapidly … Continue reading →

Stem Cell Transplantation For Severe Sclerosis Linked With Improved Long-term Survival

Posted: Published on June 25th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Among patients with a severe, life-threatening type of sclerosis, treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), compared to intravenous infusion of the chemotherapeutic drug cyclophosphamide, was associated with an increased treatment-related risk of death in the first year, but better long-term survival, according to a study in the June 25 issue of JAMA. Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by vasculopathy (a disorder of the blood vessels), low-grade inflammation, and fibrosis (development of excess fibrous connective tissue) in skin and internal organs. Previously, small studies have shown that systemic sclerosis is responsive to treatment with autologous HSCT, although it has been unclear whether HSCT improves survival, according to background information in the article. For this study, autologous HSCT involved a multistep process beginning with infusion of high doses of cyclophosphamide and an antibody against immune cells, followed by reinfusion of the patient's own stem cells that had been previously collected from blood and purified.

CLOSURE. The Tagaytay City Office of the Mayor orders the immediate closure of the Green & Young Health & Wellness Center. Photo by Jee Geronimo/Rappler MANILA, Philippines The clinic in Tagaytay City where former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sought alternative treatment in 2012 but whose doctor was recently exposed to be unlicensed has been ordered to close down. In a resolution dated May 29, the office of Mayor Agnes Tolentino directed Antonia Park to immediately stop the operation of her clinic which was listed as a massage clinic/sauna/turkish/swedish bath. The resolution listed down adequate, relevant evidence that Park unlawfully used and practiced medicine in her clinic. It cited the following in revoking Green & Young Health & Wellness Center's business permit: The above evidence were based on several affidavits, a Professional Regulatory Commission document which showed Park is not authorized to practice medicine in the country, and a 2012 statement from Park regarding the condition of and alternative treatment for Arroyo. In July 2012, Park took in Arroyo for possible stem cell therapy. Park used the title MD in her statement released to the press.

The secret life of an embryo

Posted: Published on June 24th, 2014

STORY HIGHLIGHTS Vital Signs is a monthly program bringing viewers health stories from around the world. (CNN) -- It is estimated that around one in four couples around the world have trouble conceiving. For a small proportion of them, In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a technology that can restore the dream of parenthood. IVF is the fertilization of an egg by sperm outside the body, where it is cultivated in a lab environment, and if an embryo results it is implanted into the mother's womb. Now the chances of IVF treatment being successful are being boosted by a machine called the Embryoscope. A record number of babies are being born through IVF -- with over 60,000 IVF babies born in the United States alone in 2012. But since the inception of IVF in the 1970s, monitoring embryos has been a difficulty. In order to examine them, the embryologist must remove them from the safe environment of the incubator and expose them to environmental hazards such as temperature changes and contaminants.

Embryos are removed and examined just once a day, which limits the information available to embryologists, as well as the chances of picking the … Continue reading →

BUDERIM, Australia, June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Affordable IVF is moving into brand new office space on June 16, 2014, it was announced today. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140612/117314) The new office will be located in the Nucleus Medical Suites, Building B, Suite 21 at 23 Elsa Wilson Drive in Buderim. The phone number for the facility remains the same 1300 569 267 (1300 LOW COST). "Affordable IVF's purpose built facility will now be located right next door to the parent company, Fertility Solutions," says clinic director Denise Donati, "This makes it easier for couples to transition from AIVF to our full service clinic, should their situation require an approach to treatment which AIVF does not currently offer." "The other benefit for patients is that the new location is also on the same floor as the fertility specialists who are on the AIVF roster. This means patients do not have to go to one location to see the nurse and another to see a specialist. It's now a one stop shop." Affordable IVF opened its doors in November 2012 and was established to provide Queenslanders with a more cost effective fertility treatment option. AIVF currently offers IVF and ISCI at affordable prices, making … Continue reading →
