Cobb rush for 9 yards, then for 6, then for 2, Donnell Kirkwood rush for 5, then Isaac Fruechte fumble. Nelson removed for Mitch Leidner, two more Gopher punts, then, mercifully, a field goal. Syracuse 7, Minnesota 3. Now ask yourself: If you are Jerry Kill, and you watched that first half, what would you do? Kill, Minnesotas head coach, spent the first 30 minutes of the Texas Bowl like he spent the Gophers final six games of the regular season: in a box, high above the field, coaching but not really. Its been one day shy of three full months since Kill last coached on the sideline for Minnesota, which was Sept. 28 against Iowa. More here: Thanks, Syracuse, for spoiling Jerry Kill's awaited sideline return … Continue reading →

Adam Cairns | DISPATCH Worthington residents often make use of the ravine and land around the former Harding Hospital. Ohio State University recently sold the 45-acre site to Step By Step, an autism-treatment facility. Others would like to see the land designated as a park, or the whole site turned into a presidential library. The Columbus Dispatch Saturday December 28, 2013 6:11 AM The paths, large trees and camplike feel of a Worthington autism-treatment facility would be preserved as a park, or presidential library, or at least have public access, if Peter Harding has his way. Harding, 72, who grew up on the site of the former Harding Hospital, worries that the 45-acre ravine-cut homestead might be spoiled if not developed wisely. He also believes that the woodland beauty near 445 E. Dublin-Granville Rd. should be shared. The sale of the Ohio State University-owned site to Step By Step Academy has been approved by the universitys trustees and, last week, by the Ohio legislature. Gov. John Kasich signed the bill on Dec. 19. But Harding, his relatives, some state lawmakers and a Cleveland lawyer who is pining for a presidential library have reservations. That is to Worthington what Central Park … Continue reading →

By Traci Pedersen Associate News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on December 28, 2013 A genetic variant known to make some people hypersensitive to stress is also linked to a 38 percent increased risk of heart attack or death in patients with heart disease, according to researchers at Duke Medicine. Weve heard a lot about personalized medicine in cancer, but in cardiovascular disease we are not nearly as far along in finding the genetic variants that identify people at higher risk, said senior author Redford B. Williams Jr., M.D., director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University School of Medicine. Here we have a paradigm for the move toward personalized medicine in cardiovascular disease. The researchers built on previous work at Duke and elsewhere that identified a variation in a DNA sequence, known as a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), where one letter in the genetic code is swapped for another to change the genes function. The team focused on a particular SNP that occurs on the gene that makes a serotonin receptor and causes a hyperactive reaction to stress. In a previous study, researchers found that men with this genetic variant had twice as much cortisol … Continue reading →

Dec. 27, 2013 Stroke rehabilitation researchers report improvement in spatial neglect with prism adaptation therapy. This new study supports behavioral classification of patients with spatial neglect as a valuable tool for assigning targeted, effective early rehabilitation. Results of the study were published ahead of print in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair on December 27, 2013. The article is authored by Kelly M. Goedert, PhD, of Seton Hall University, Peii Chen, PhD, of Kessler Foundation, Raymond C. Boston, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania, Anne L. Foundas, MD, of the University of Missouri, and A.M. Barrett, MD, director of Stroke Rehabilitation Research at Kessler Foundation, and chief of Neurorehabilitation Program Innovation at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Drs. Barrett and Chen have faculty appointments at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Spatial neglect, an under-recognized but disabling disorder, often complicates recovery from right brain stroke," noted Dr. Barrett. "Our study suggests we need to know what kind of neglect patients have in order to assign treatment." The research team tested the hypothesis that classifying patients by their spatial neglect profile, i.e., by Where (perceptional-intentional) versus Aiming (motor-intentional) symptoms, would predict response to prism adaptation therapy. Moreover, they hypothesized that patients with Aiming bias would … Continue reading →

Abba Zubair, M.D., Ph.D., believes that cells grown in the International Space Station (ISS) could help patients recover from a stroke, and that it may even be possible to generate human tissues and organs in space. He just needs a chance to demonstrate the possibility. He now has it. The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), a nonprofit organization that promotes research aboard the ISS, has awarded Dr. Zubair a $300,000 grant to send human stem cells into space to see if they grow more rapidly than stem cells grown on Earth. Dr. Zubair, medical and scientific director of the Cell Therapy Laboratory at Mayo Clinic in Florida, says the experiment will be the first one Mayo Clinic has conducted in space and the first to use these human stem cells, which are found in bone marrow. "On Earth, we face many challenges in trying to grow enough stem cells to treat patients," he says. "It now takes a month to generate enough cells for a few patients. A clinical-grade laboratory in space could provide the answer we all have been seeking for regenerative medicine." He specifically wants to expand the population of stem cells that will … Continue reading →

AUTOLOGOUS Adipose Stem Cells Stem Cell Therapy is not a new technology. As a matter of fact it has been around for more that 60 years now. The problem is most people know it as a bone marrow transplant. And well when you finish saying that people are already screaming "That's Painful". A bone marrow transplant essentially extracts stem cells from your own bone marrow and then returns them back to you. It has been used to help people suffering from conditions like Leukemia and Lymph Node Cancer. How does it work? Stem Cells hone in on "chemokine" signals that are secreted by injury. When they arrive they alert regenerative cells to go to work and repair the damage, or grow tissue. At birth, the human body has around 80 million active stem cells working. At age 40 we have less than 25 million active stem cells working. Therefore it takes longer for the body to heal and in some cases damage is often ignored. This is the aging or degeneration process of the body. In 1998 a little known about Bio Tech Company discovered that there was an enormous amount of stem cells in abdominal fat, commonly referred to … Continue reading →
