CHICAGO (CBS) For Michele and Peter Doyle, a trip to the doctors office with their daughter Caelan in 2006 changed their lives forever. We kinda knew early on that there was something going on. There was a little bit of delay with her social interaction, said Doyle. Caelan was diagnosed with autism at the age of four. She became part of the one in 68 children now affected. In fact, autism rates climbed nearly 30 percent between 2008 and 2010 and have more than doubled since the turn of the century, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its become an epidemic, said Doyle. As they looked for care for Caelan Doyle and his wife soon realized how expensive treatment and therapy can be, most not covered by insurance. An autism family will spend a million dollars throughout the lifetime of their child being autistic on either therapies, medications, certain foods they give them, its very, very expensive. Thats why they formed Rescue our Angels six years ago. It started out as a small grassroots effort with a few family members … Continue reading →

MANILA - A businessman has updated the charges he filed with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against a wellness center operator who allegedly caused the death of his daughter, a cum laude graduate of Ateneo de Manila University, last year. Bernard Tan added the illegal practice of medicine to the charges of estafa and reckless imprudence resulting in homicide he filed in October 2013 against Antonia Carandang-Park, her husband Young Joe Park and some center personnel over the death of his daughter Katherine Grace, 23, on July 4, 2013. Tan based the additional charge on a certification issued in August 2013 by the Professional Regulation Commission showing that Park does not appear in the database of physicians, which contains the names of those duly authorized to practice medicine in the Philippines. In an interview, Tan said Kate allegedly underwent stem cell treatment for Hodgkins lymphoma, a type of cancer, at the Green and Young Health and Wellness Center owned by Park in Tagaytay City during the last quarter of 2012. We went to her clinic and she told us that she already treated a similar case and it would only take three months to treat my daughter We did … Continue reading →

April 21, 2014 A new nanoglue is expected to have applications in surgery and regenerative medicine for humans and animals alike. AFP/Relaxnews pic, April 21, 2014.Thanks to the progress of nanomedicine, stitches could soon become a thing of the past, giving way to nanoglue. The efficacy of the innovative technique has now been demonstrated in vivo. Effective and easy to use, the revolutionary solution of silica nanoparticles is capable of closing deep wounds in a matter of seconds. Developed last December by a team of researchers from the Soft Materials and Chemistry Laboratory (ESPCI/CNRS) and the Laboratory for Vascular Translational Science (Paris Diderot University) in France, the solution was the subject of a publication in the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie dated April 16. The researchers were able to test the nanoglue procedure alongside current conventional methods for sealing deep wounds or repairing cuts to an organ, and the results lived up to expectations. The nanoglue method resulted in minimal scarring, an absence of necrosis or inflammation, and rapid healing of the wound. Hemorrhaging is quickly stopped and organ function is preserved. The solution withstands immersion in water and is self-repairing, according to the CNRS, making it ideal for joining two … Continue reading →
