Health chief flip-flops on support for stem cell treatment

Posted: Published on August 18th, 2013

by Buena Bernal Posted on 08/17/2013 4:29 PM |Updated 08/18/2013 2:51 AM CLARIFICATION. Health Secretary Enrique Ona writes to a newspaper that his published speech is not the final word on stem cell therapy regulation. File photo by Rappler/Naoki Mengua MANILA, Philippines Health Secretary Enrique Ona has clarified that his speech published in The Philippine Star as a full-page advertisement should not be misconstrued as the end-all, be-all pronouncement on the issue of stem cell therapy regulation. The controversial speech categorized stem cell therapy as part of "innovative therapy," whereas clinical trials or thorough drug testing locally may be evaded in the meantime for the sake of innovation. It was delivered by Ona on August 12, during the 1st mid-year convention of the Philippine Society for Stem Cell Medicine (PSSCM). The full-page ad appeared on August 14. READ: Stem cell debate: innovation or safety? The published copy of Ona's speech was labeled with the words "Stem Cell: The Final Word." Ona, however, wanted to dispel "any confusion" caused by the advertisement's label. "In the keynote message, there was no mention or any insinuation that the said pronouncement was the 'Final Word on Stem Cell'," the health chief wrote the newspaper. … Continue reading →

Implant device for Parkinson's?

Posted: Published on August 18th, 2013

Q: My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year. His medication controls the tremors, but when he forgets his pills, he shuffles and suffers. Would deep brain stimulation zap his disease? A: Deep brain stimulation is a surgical option; a neurostimulator, implanted in the chest, delivers electrical signals to the brain, much like a pacemaker. In Parkinson's, the device is linked to electrodes that are implanted in the areas of the brain that control movement. This is a great treatment for some patients, but not all. It does not cure the disease or stop the progression; it just helps control some of the symptoms. Stimulation is helpful for patients who have a tremor that is not controlled well enough with medication, or who have side effects from medicine. It does not alleviate other symptoms, such as balance and memory problems, and can even worsen them. In general, we make sure to exhaust all drug options before referring to surgery, since all surgeries entail risk. Every case is different; a decision to operate should be made with the guidance of a specialist who knows the patient well. Since your father responds well to pills, but has trouble remembering them, use an … Continue reading →

Va research institute to study cerebral palsy

Posted: Published on August 18th, 2013

ROANOKE, Va. The Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute is creating a research clinic to study new ways to treat cerebral palsy. Organizers say that children from around the world who suffer from the disorder will be treated at the Roanoke-based institute's Neuromotor Research Clinic. Cerebral palsy involves the loss or impairment of motor function or posture. It is caused by injury or abnormal development in the brain that happens before, during or immediately after birth. The Roanoke Times reports that the program is being funded by a $4.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. Additional financial support is coming from Virginia Tech, Carilion Clinic and private donors. The program will follow the progress of 135 children between the ages of 2 and 8 and incorporate science developed at the center with therapy that will be delivered in the child's home. It will include study sites at the University of Virginia and Ohio State University. Researchers at the institute have developed a form of high-intensity therapy to help affected children use their impaired arms and legs. "We do not accept the notion that damage to the brain is irreversible, or that treatment should only be for a select few," … Continue reading →
