Katie Thompson of Castlewood Treatment Center Featured on KPLR 11 News

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 16, 2013 Ms. Katie Thompson, LPC, NCC of Castlewood Treatment Center was a featured expert on Afternoons on 11 recently, talking about the topic of emotional eating. Ms. Thompson spoke with KPLR's April Simpson about the triggers for emotional eating, the problems associated with it, and the way to overcome it. Emotional eating affects individuals of any age, race, or background. Stress, anxiety or other forms of emotional turmoil often trigger it. Ms. Thompson said it is all about trying to gain control in one's life. "People feel like they can control food," said Ms. Thompson. "They feel like they can put the emotions that they can't work out in their relationships onto food, and that it will then be something they can control. Unfortunately, that is a myth." Ms. Thompson went on to say that eating causes a chemical change in the brain to occur. This give the person a few moments of comfort, but that good feeling doesn't last. After a few seconds, the person's problems are still there, and nothing has been solved by eating. The key to preventing emotional eating according to Ms. Thompson is that people need to understand what … Continue reading →

With new multimillion-dollar grants, UCLA scientists take stem …

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

Sickle cell disease, which affects more than 90,000 individuals in the U.S., is seen primarily in people of sub-Saharan African descent. It is caused by an inherited mutation in the beta-globin gene that transforms normal-shaped red blood cells, which are round and pliable, into rigid, sickle-shaped cells. While normal red blood cells are able to pass easily through the tiniest blood vessels, called capillaries, carrying oxygen to organs like the lungs, liver and kidneys, sickled cells get stuck in the capillaries, depriving the organs of oxygen, which can lead to organ dysfunction and failure. CIRM Disease Team III Awards The purpose of the CIRM Disease Team Therapy Development III initiative is to advance early clinical development of novel therapies derived from or targeting stem cells. These novel therapies may offer unique benefits with well-considered risk to those with diseases or serious injuries. The CIRM grants only support programs that include a clinical study that can be completed and analyzed within a four-year period.

UC San Diego Gets $4M Grant For Stem Cell Research

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

The state agency that funds stem cell research has given UC San Diego a new $4-million grant. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has given the school 62 grants. The institute known as CIRM made its first grants in 2006. Since then, the agency has awarded UC San Diego $142 million for stem cell research. That makes the school the fourth highest recipient of CIRM grants in the state. Dr.Catriona Jamieson, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center stem cell research program director, said CIRM has funded a lot of cutting-edge science. They also gave us a training grant that has been absolutely vital for being able to train the next generation of physician-scientists, and scientists who want to be able to work with regenerative therapies, Jamieson said. A variety of other local entities have received CIRM grants, including the Salk Institute and San Diego State University. CIRM has awarded San Diego institutions a total of more than $350 million since it began doling out grants seven years ago. Thats nearly one-sixth of the total amount awarded statewide.

Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute Now Offering Stem Cell Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) December 16, 2013 The top Phoenix stem cell treatment clinic, Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute, is now offering stem cell therapy for plantar fasciitis. The treatments are offered by Board Certified pain management doctors in Arizona, and often help patients avoid surgery. For more information and scheduling, call (602) 507-6550. Plantar fasciitis affects millions of Americans, causing heel pain that may make it difficult to participate in recreational activities and walking in general. Conventional treatments such as steroid injections, NSAIDS, bracing and physical therapy at times do not relieve the pain properly. Surgery for plantar fasciitis unfortunately does not always provide the desired relief. Regenerative medicine at the Arizona Pain Stem Cell Institute offers a nonoperative option for plantar fasciitis. This may include stem cell injections with bone marrow, fat derived or amniotic derived material. The procedure is outpatient and low risk. In addition to treatments for plantar fasciitis, the Institute offers stem cell treatments for degenerative arthritis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff symptoms, achilles tendonitis and more. The procedures are performed by Board Certified pain doctors, with four research projects ongoing. The Institute is a division of Arizona Pain Specialists, the leading pain center in Arizona. Five … Continue reading →

West Coast Stem Cell Clinic, Telehealth, Now Offering Stem Cell Injections for Plantar Fasciitis

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

Orange County, California (PRWEB) December 16, 2013 Top California stem cell clinic, TeleHealth, is now offering stem cell injections for plantar fasciitis. The condition may lead to chronic pain and may not respond to traditional treatments, with the stem cell therapy often allowing for pain relief and the ability to avoid the need for surgery. For more information and scheduling, call (888) 828-4575. Planter fasciitis affects millions of Americans. The condition leads to chronic heel pain and may make it difficult to participate in recreational activities and even walk normally. Traditional treatments such as physical therapy, NSAIDS, steroid injections and orthotics are often effective over time. However, the condition may not respond as desired to these options and stem cells for plantar fasciitis may be the answer. Therefore, stem cell injections that TeleHealth provides may offer an excellent option for healing the inflamed area while at the same time providing considerable pain relief. The conventional pain management treatments tend to mask pain, however, they do not actually heal the condition directly. Regenerative medicine treatments with stem cells maintain the potential of actually healing the damaged tissue to provide long term relief. Telehealth has multiple US Board Certified doctors who have … Continue reading →

Brittle-bone babies helped by fetal stem cell grafts

Posted: Published on December 17th, 2013

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 16-Dec-2013 Contact: Press Office pressinfo@ki.se 46-852-486-077 Karolinska Institutet Osteogeneis imperfecta (OI) is a congenital bone disease that causes stunted growth and repeated, painful fracturing. Ultrasound scans can reveal fractures already in the fetus, and now an international team of researchers from Sweden, Singapore and Taiwan have treated two babies in utero by injecting bone-forming stem cells. The longitudinal results of the treatment are published in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine. The babies were treated with mesenchymal stem cells, connective tissue cells that can form and improve bone tissue. The stem cells were extracted from the livers of donors and although they were completely unmatched genetically, there was no rejection and the transplanted cells were accepted as self. Back in 2005, a paper was published from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden describing how stem cells were given to a female fetus. The present study describes how the girl suffered a large number of fractures and developed scoliosis up to the age of eight, whereupon the researchers decided to give her a fresh stem cell graft from the same donor. For the next two years the girl suffered no new fractures and improved her growth rate. Today she takes … Continue reading →
