London, UK (PRWEB) December 20, 2013 Nowadays, molecular diagnostics in generic testing introduces advanced analytical techniques to the treatment and diagnosis of various generic disorders. The burgeoning growth in the market is propelled by considerable breakthroughs in proteomics and genomics, as well as by the ongoing development of microarray devices to measure different analytes within body tissues and blood. The range of the major recent developments includes but is not limited to the introduction and rapid uptake of cell-free fetal DNA prenatal testing, advancements in the development of personalised medicine, the integration of gene expression profiling and specialty labs into clinical practice, expansion of the installed base of automated instruments used for molecular testing and also the considerable progress of companion diagnostics for drug development. At present, generic testing forms one of the most profitable segments of the overall molecular diagnostics space. The generic testing area has a huge growth potential, which is poised to be the major area of interest in the upcoming years. Discounted research report Molecular Diagnostics in Genetic Testing drawn up by TriMark Publications (TriMark) has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.

(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 →

Adult stem cells circulate throughout our bodies and act as natural healers. These cells have vast potential and limitless capabilities. For more than 40 years, adult stem cells have been used to treat cancer patients. Recent advancements in stem cell therapy have been astounding. Cells from an ill patient are being used as part of the treatment. There is no possibility of the body rejecting the new tissue formed, making stem cell treatment safe and effective in achieving positive medical outcomes. It is important to note that adult stem cell therapy is not controversial because it involves the use of a patients owntissues and NOT derived from embryos. Clinical results from cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and vascular procedures have shown that the adult stem cell procedures are as safe as traditional procedures and are complimentary to current medical practice. Adult stem cells are extracted from the patientsbone marrow and fat(adipose). At Intercellular Sciences, the naturally occurring stem cells in the blood are cultivated into millions of RegenocyteAdult Stem Cells. The Regenocyte Stem Cells areproduced inour international treatment center and are administered into the area of need for the patient. Once injected, they stimulate tissue re-growth and greater blood flow to the … Continue reading →

Dec. 19, 2013 Physicians at the Ruhr-Universitt Bochum (RUB) have been investigating if established anti-epilepsy drugs have anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory properties -- an effect for which these pharmaceutical agents are not usually tested. One of the substances tested caused stronger inflammations, while another one inhibited them. As inflammatory reactions in the brain may be the underlying cause for epileptic disorders, it is vital to take the trigger for the disorder under consideration when selecting drugs for treatment, as the researchers concluded. They published their report in the journal Epilepsia. Glial cells play a crucial role in the nervous system Hannes Dambach from the Department for Neuroanatomy and Molecular Brain Research, together with a team of colleagues, studied how anti-epilepsy drugs affect the survival of glial cells in cultures. Glial cells are the largest cell group in the brain; they are crucial for supplying neurons with nutrients and affect immune and inflammatory responses. The question of how glial cells are affected by anti-epilepsy drugs had previously not been studied in depth. The RUB work group Clinical Neuroanatomy, headed by Prof Dr Pedro Faustmann, analysed four substances: valproic acid, gabapentin, phenytoin and carbamazepine. Four anti-epilepsy drugs affect glial cells in different ways … Continue reading →

SINGAPORE: Teenagers, children and even foetuses can suffer from stroke. Cases of childhood stroke in Singapore are rare. KK Women's and Children's Hospital sees less than 20 cases of the condition each year. Almost half of them are caused by head injuries. Dr Christelle Chow from Department of Paediatrics Neurology Service at KK Womens and Childrens Hospital said: "The problems that children can face after they develop a stroke can be difficulty in moving around, in their activities of daily living, and keeping up with their peers in school." The hospital said three out of 100,000 children in Singapore may suffer from stroke. Inflammation or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the brain could also be the cause of childhood stroke. Mr Ng's son suffered from stroke when he was 14. Mr Ng thought he was having normal headaches in school, but his son lost control of the left side of his body. He was rushed to the hospital, where they diagnosed him with childhood stroke.
