Posted: Published on November 6th, 2013

Dear Fellow MS Sufferer, Just summoning up the energy to read and focus on this letter can be a huge challenge to anyone with MS: the fatigue, the memory issues and coordination troubles can make it seem like fighting through a fog. But I want you to please bear with me, because the information in this letter is crucial to your health. I want to give you all the information you need to come to a full understanding of just why you are having these problems, and what can be done about them. Like you, I know what it is like to be given a diagnosis like multiple sclerosis. My journey with MS started back in 2006 when I developed Lhermittes sign painful, lightning-like sensations down the back, caused by the flexing of the neck. At the time I didnt think much of it, I saw my osteopath and she treated it and the symptoms eventually went away. But as time went on I suffered bone aching fatigue, loss of memory, depression coupled with anxiety and eventually, after a migraine that lasted four days, I lost the vision out of my right eye. I was told by everyone that it … Continue reading

Spinal Cord Injury: Treatments and Rehabilitation Symptoms, Causes …

Posted: Published on November 5th, 2013

How Does a Spinal Cord Injury Affect the Rest of the Body? People who survive a spinal cord injury will most likely have medical complications such as chronic pain and bladder and bowel dysfunction, along with an increased susceptibility to respiratory and heart problems. Successful recovery depends upon how well these chronic conditions are handled day to day. Any injury to the spinal cord at or above the C3, C4, and C5 segments, which supply the phrenic nerves leading to the diaphragm, can stop breathing. People with these injuries need immediate ventilatory support. When injuries are at the C5 level and below, diaphragm function is preserved, but breathing tends to be rapid and shallow and people have trouble coughing and clearing secretions from their lungs because of weak thoracic muscles. Once pulmonary function improves, a large percentage of those with C4 injuries can be weaned from mechanical ventilation in the weeks following the injury. Respiratory complications, primarily as a result of pneumonia, are a leading cause of death in people with spinal cord injury. In fact, intubation increases the risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by 1 to 3 percent per day of intubation. More than a quarter of the … Continue reading

Parkinson disease treatment options — medications

Posted: Published on November 5th, 2013

PARKINSON DISEASE OVERVIEW There are a wide variety of medical and surgical treatments available for Parkinson disease (PD). Medical treatment includes medications, education, support, exercise, physical and speech therapy, and nutrition. For some people with advanced Parkinson disease, surgical treatment with deep brain stimulation is another option. The optimal combination of treatments depends upon the person's signs and symptoms, age, stage and severity of disease, and their level of physical activity. The information that follows can help patients and family members to better understand the potential risks and benefits of medications. Other types of treatment are discussed separately. (See "Patient information: Parkinson disease treatment options education, support, and therapy (Beyond the Basics)".) The symptoms and diagnosis of PD are also discussed separately. (See "Patient information: Parkinson disease symptoms and diagnosis (Beyond the Basics)".) WHEN TO START PARKINSON DISEASE TREATMENT The decision to start medication for Parkinson disease depends upon the severity of symptoms. The most important consideration is how much the symptoms interfere with the person's ability to perform daily activities. Another important factor is the person's personal philosophy about the use of medications. The healthcare provider, patient, and family (if applicable) should share in the decision making process. There … Continue reading

Pros And Cons Of Stem Cell Research – AllAboutPopularIssues.org

Posted: Published on November 5th, 2013

You are here: Popular Issues >> Pros And Cons Of Stem Cell Research Pros and Cons of Stem Cell Research - What are Stem Cells? There has been much controversy in the press recently about the pros and cons of stem cell research. What is the controversy all about? "Stem" cells can be contrasted with "differentiated" cells. They offer much hope for medical advancement because of their ability to grow into almost any kind of cell. For instance, neural cells in the brain and spinal cord that have been damaged can be replaced by stem cells. In the treatment of cancer, cells destroyed by radiation or chemotherapy can be replaced with new healthy stem cells that adapt to the affected area, whether it be part of the brain, heart, liver, lungs, or wherever. Dead cells of almost any kind, no matter the type of injury or disease, can be replaced with new healthy cells thanks to the amazing flexibility of stem cells. As a result, billions of dollars are being poured into this new field. Pros and Cons of Stem Cell Research - Where Do They Come From? To understand the pros and cons of stem cell research, one must … Continue reading

Stem Cell Of America | Breakthrough Stem Cell Treatment

Posted: Published on November 4th, 2013

Treatment The Stem Cell treatment performed at our clinics is a painless medical procedure where Stem Cells (cellular building blocks) are usually administered intravenously and subcutaneously (under the skin). The whole procedure takes approximately one hour and has no known negative side effects.* Following the treatment, the Fetal Stem Cells will travel throughout the body, detecting damaged cells and tissue and attempts to restore them. The Fetal Stem Cells can also stimulate existing normal cells and tissues to operate at a higher level of function, boosting the bodys own repair mechanisms to aid in the healing process. These highly adaptive cells then remain in the body, continually locating and repairing any damage they encounter. As with any medical treatment, safety should be of the highest priority. The Stem Cells used in our treatment undergo extensive screening for possible infection and impurities. Utilizing tests more sophisticated than those regularly used in the United States for Stem Cell research and transplant. Our testing process ensures we use only the healthiest cells to enable the safest and most effective Fetal Stem Cell treatment possible. And, unlike other types of Stem Cells, there is no danger of the bodys rejection of Fetal Stem Cells … Continue reading

Her work has appeared on a variety of websites, covering topics such as career and education planning, wedding planning, home improvement, crafts and gardening. Timmons is pursuing her bachelor's degree in mortuary science. Stem cell research is on the rise, giving hope to patients and providing treatment for many diseases and disorders. While stem cell treatments are a fairly new science, they can have life-saving effects. Stem cell treatments consist of removing healthy regenerative cells from the patient and transplanting them into the affected area. This treatment helps repair and reverse a variety of conditions and diseases. Regenerative cells can be harvested from the patient's bone marrow, fat or peripheral blood. This is done to eliminate the risk of cell rejection in the patient. Typically, four to six treatments are administered depending on how the condition reacts to the stem cell treatment. Treatments are given over a period of seven to 12 days. Stem cell treatments are effective at treating autoimmune diseases, cerebral palsy, degenerative joint … Continue reading
