One of the first to benefit is Graham Parker, 41, an archaeology student from Stanley, County Durham. He tells CAROL DAVIS his story. Working as a supply teacher a few years ago, I started feeling exhausted. I couldn't walk more than 50 metres without pausing, was constantly breathless and would wake at night coughing. At first I thought it was a cold or flu, or the stress of a house move. But my mum, a retired nurse, pointed out I'd been ill for two months, and sent me to the doctor. The GP suspected asthma, and gave me an inhaler. But within a week it … Continue reading

San Francisco and Marin Plastic Surgery Plastic surgery is a specialty that seeks to improve physical function, minimize disfigurement from accidents or birth defects, or reshape bodily features to improve an individual's appearance. The word plastic, derived from Greek, means to create form. The term plastic surgery was first used in 1796. Plastic surgical procedures can improve appearance and renew self-confidence. The term Cosmetic Surgery is frequently used interchangeably with the term Plastic Surgery when the purpose is aesthetic improvement. Consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon is the first step an individual should take when considering cosmetic or plastic surgery. Dr. Denkler has been practicing medicine since 1989 in Marin County, California. His practice includes both plastic (aesthetic-cosmetic) and reconstructive surgery.

The crowd pitches in $243K (and counting) for clinical trials of a stem cell therapy for MS

Posted: Published on April 2nd, 2014

While donation-based crowdfunding has taken some industries, like consumer technology, by storm, its been dismissed by some as a source of early-stage life science funding because of the sky-high price tag that biotech and medical device R&D carries. Raising a few thousand dollars wont really do much to get a company off the ground. But a few recent campaigns are challenging that idea, pulling in more than $100,000 in donations through Indiegogo. The latest is Tisch MS Research Center, a nonprofit research center in New York thats so far collected more than $243,000 for a Phase 1 clinical trial of a stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis. Tisch researchers have gotten the green light from the FDA to proceed with a safety and tolerability study of a treatment it says has the potential to reverse damage done by MS. The autoimmune disease attacks the protective coating of axons (the myelin sheath) in the brain and spinal cord, disrupting the ability of nerve signals to travel properly. That can cause numbness, pain, vision loss, difficulty walking and even paralysis. Stem cells are hypothesized to promote repair in MS by migrating to areas of demyelination, blocking damage-forming events and enabling repair, Tisch … Continue reading

New human trial shows stem cells are effective for failing …

Posted: Published on April 2nd, 2014

Patients with severe ischemic heart disease and heart failure can benefit from a new treatment in which stem cells found in bone marrow are injected directly into the heart muscle, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 63rd Annual Scientific Session. "Our results show that this stem cell treatment is safe and it improves heart function when compared to placebo," said Anders Bruun Mathiasen, M.D., research fellow in the Cardiac Catherization Lab at Rigshospitalet University Hospital Copenhagen, and lead investigator of the study. "This represents an exciting development that has the potential to benefit many people who suffer from this common and deadly disease." Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is the number one cause of death for both men and women in the United States. It results from a gradual buildup of plaque in the heart's coronary arteries and can lead to chest pain, heart attack and heart failure. The study is the largest placebo-controlled double-blind randomized trial to treat patients with chronic ischemic heart failure by injecting a type of stem cell known as mesenchymal stromal cells directly into the heart muscle. Six months after treatment, patients who received stem cell injections … Continue reading

Stem Cells May Rejuvenate Failing Hearts, Study Suggests

Posted: Published on April 2nd, 2014

By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, March 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Stem cells injected directly into heart muscle can help patients suffering from severe heart failure by improving an ailing heart's ability to pump blood, a new Danish trial indicates. Doctors drew stem cells from patients' own bone marrow, and then injected those cells into portions of the heart where scar tissue seemed to interfere with heart function, explained lead researcher Dr. Anders Bruun Mathiasen. He is a research fellow in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Rigshospitalet University Hospital Copenhagen. Within six months of treatment, patients who received stem cell injections had improved heart pumping function compared to patients receiving a placebo, according to findings that were to be presented Monday at the American Academy of Cardiology's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. "We know these stem cells can initiate the growth of new blood vessels and heart muscle tissue," Mathiasen said. "That's what we think has happened." If larger follow-up trials prove the treatment's effectiveness, it could provide hope for people suffering from untreatable heart failure. "Heart failure is one of the biggest causes of death. If you can save lives or improve their symptoms, then a treatment like … Continue reading
