Parkinson’s patient lives his dream, becomes ski bum at age 47

Posted: Published on December 22nd, 2013

ELDORA For 30 years Rick Reuter had dreamed of moving to Colorado to be a ski bum, and when it finally became a reality on a majestic blue-sky morning last week at Eldora Mountain Resort, it felt like a miracle. Rick and his wife, Traci, remembered the days when he was unable to dress himself, feed himself or roll over in bed without her help because of Parkinson's disease. And that wasn't such a long time ago. "You have no idea how happy I am right now," Traci said as Rick clicked into his skis for the first time in eight years, a beatific smile on his face. He was a little nervous on the first lift ride, wondering whether he would be able to catch himself if he lost his balance, but he skied beautifully. No snowplow turns for Colorado's newest ski bum. His skis were parallel, boots inches apart, turns graceful on a perfectly groomed slope they had almost to themselves. "I felt like me again," said Rick, 47. "I felt that way too," said Traci, 42. "I felt like, 'Oh, my gosh, we just went back in time. We just went back 15 years.' " Rick and … Continue reading →

Adult stem cells suppress cancer while dormant

Posted: Published on December 22nd, 2013

Los Angeles, Dec 21 : Researchers at UCLA's (University of California, Los Angeles') Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have discovered a mechanism by which certain adult stem cells suppress their ability to initiate skin cancer during their dormant phase an understanding that could be exploited for better cancer-prevention strategies. The study, which was led by UCLA postdoctoral fellow Andrew White and William Lowry, an associate professor of molecular, cell and developmental biology who holds the Maria Rowena Ross Term Chair in Cell Biology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science, was published online Dec. 15 in the journal Nature Cell Biology. Hair follicle stem cells, the tissue-specific adult stem cells that generate the hair follicles, are also the cells of origin for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer. These stem cells cycle between periods of activation (during which they can grow) and quiescence (when they remain dormant). Using mouse models, White and Lowry applied known cancer-causing genes to hair follicle stem cells and found that during their dormant phase, the cells could not be made to initiate skin cancer. Once they were in their active period, however, they began growing … Continue reading →

"Leading Edge" Set to Produce New Content Featuring Stem Cell Therapy, with Host Jimmy Johnson

Posted: Published on December 21st, 2013

(PRWEB) December 21, 2013 Stem cell therapy has a tremendous potential to cure various illnesses and injuries. Recent news items have highlighted possibilities that it could treat damaged spinal cords or revitalize hip joints. Scientists are working on stem cell remedies for dementia, heart disease and diabetes. Doctors in some countries have begun using this therapy to grow replacement body tissue and treat leukemia. However, stem cell treatments remain controversial. Some people object to them on ethical or religious grounds. Others express concern about the safety of these newfound cures. Animal testing has revealed that minor mistakes can result in impurities that cause cells to produce tumors and other ill effects. Some patients have died after receiving experimental therapies that weren't adequately tested. The producers of the "Leading Edge" TV series plan to release a new segment that examines this fascinating yet contentious health topic. Presenter Jimmy Johnson will offer an update on important facts and recent developments in the world of stem cell research. Viewers can benefit from the program's concise and unbiased perspective on an issue that many people have yet to learn about. "Leading Edge" is independently distributed to local public TV broadcasters across the U.S. The … Continue reading →

Diaz was charged with murder and related offenses. Jury awards nearly $43M for malpractice A Philadelphia jury yesterday handed down one of the biggest medical-malpractice verdicts ever in the state when it awarded $42.9 million for future medical expenses to a child born with cerebral palsy. The Common Pleas jury determined that the child, who is now 6, received "substandard medical treatment" at Chestnut Hill Hospital from a University of Pennsylvania doctor after she was born prematurely there July 4, 2007, according to a news release from law firm Kline & Specter. Attorneys said the little girl's mother had shown up at Chestnut Hill Hospital two days before she was born complaining of pelvic pressure, but was not admitted … Continue reading →

ObamaCare may make finding treatment harder for mentally ill

Posted: Published on December 21st, 2013

Published December 21, 2013 The Wall Street Journal Dec. 21, 2011: Dr. William Sullivan, an emergency department physician at the University of Illinois at Chicago hospital, is seen through a re-enforced window of a psychiatric evaluation room in Chicago December 21, 2011.REUTERS To the outside world, it came across as mood swings and anger. But Regina Cullison would later be told by psychiatrists she struggled with depression and anxietyand that she needed help. And that is where her trouble began and ended. According to her mother, there were few psychiatrists in the county who took private insurance. When Ms. Cullison lost her job as a dentist's assistant, and with it her insurance, she switched to a nonprofit facility. Doctors came and went, and none stayed long enough to establish a regular pattern of treatment. After two years, Ms. Cullison abandoned her search for professional help and tried marijuana. Her mother, Carolyn Cullison, who is the director of a mental-health peer support group, said that helped push away the demons. But in May, while living together, the pair argued. Ms. Cullison apologized, retreated to a bedroom and shot herself. She was 26. As hard as it might be to acknowledge having … Continue reading →
