Animal Medical Center of New York Seeks Candidates for Clinical Trial for Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease to Receive …

Posted: Published on June 5th, 2014

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 04, 2014 The Animal Medical Center of New York is offering stem cell therapy provided through Vet-Stem and long-term management in a clinical trial for qualifying cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The ultimate goal of this study is to investigate the use of stem cells (obtained from the patients own fat) in aiding the enhancement of renal (kidney) function by their regenerative capabilities, with the goal of improving survival in cats with CKD. Currently there are no therapeutic options for cats with CKD other than renal transplantation, which is not typically an option for most owners. Most efforts aim at improving uremic signs with food, dietary supplements, and antacids, but there are no current methods for improving function of the kidney directly. CKD is the leading cause of death in older cats, and 35% of cats will develop CKD at some point. Since renal failure is so common in cats and renal cell death is the ultimate result, improving the health and environment of the cells that remain could improve the overall function of the kidneys and ultimately improve the survival times and quality of life in patients. The aim is to use the … Continue reading

IVF funding to be reinstated

Posted: Published on June 4th, 2014

IVF funding to be reinstated 3:20pm Wednesday 4th June 2014 in Ryedale news A CHARITY which supports couples who are struggling to conceive has welcomed the news that Scarborough and Ryedale CCG are planning to reinstate funding for fertility treatment. Susan Seenan, chief executive of Infertility Network UK said they were delighted to hear that the CCG had recognised the importance of funding fertility treatment and were now looking at reintroducing this service for patients in the area. "Guidance set by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends up to three cycles of treatment for eligible couples and yet 10 years since the guideline was first published we are still facing an arbitrary approach to IVF funding around the country," she added. Scarboroughs decision means that the only area in the whole of the UK failing to fund any NHS treatment will be Vale of York and we hope now that they too will now review their policy. Lets not forget that infertility is a medical condition and that people with a fertility problem have the same right to be treated by the NHS as anyone else. The former Primary Care Trust ceased funding IVF in 2011 … Continue reading

Genetics provide blueprint for new heart disease therapies

Posted: Published on June 4th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 4-Jun-2014 Contact: Karen Kreeger karen.kreeger@uphs.upenn.edu 215-349-5658 University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine PHILADELPHIA Advances in the understanding of the genetics of coronary artery disease, or CAD, will revitalize the field and lead to more therapeutic targets for new medicines to combat this common disease, suggests a genetics expert from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in a Perspective article in the new issue of Science Translational Medicine. Daniel J. Rader, MD, chair of the Department of Genetics and associate director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, asserts that the lagging search for new heart medicines could be jump-started by a wide-angle hunt for relevant genetic variants in humans. According the America Heart Association, the death rate from heart disease has fallen about 39 percent during the past 10-most-recent years for which statistics are available. Still, heart disease is the number-one cause of death in the United States, killing almost 380,000 people a year. Although progress has been made in decreasing the risk of heart disease, with the single greatest contribution made by statins to reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in millions of people, the burden of the disease remains … Continue reading
