Daughter's ACC battle won but wait goes on

Posted: Published on June 8th, 2013

Published: 7:34AM Saturday June 08, 2013 Source: Fairfax Carla Grobler, of Paraparaumu, and her daughter, Amelia Grobler Barrington, 3, who was left brain-damaged after a serious medical mishap - Source: Fairfax After winning a 3-year battle with ACC on behalf of her brain-damaged daughter, Carla Grobler feels like the war is only just beginning. In 2009, Grobler gave birth to a girl in Christchurch Hospital. Soon afterwards, the baby, named Amelia, developed seizures and was diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy - a brain injury caused by a deprivation of oxygen. Several hours before delivery, Grobler was running a high fever. During the delivery, a doctor had difficulty turning the baby into the correct position. A caesarean section was ordered but a midwife had forgotten to inform the anaesthetist that Grobler had previously experienced problems with an epidural. This resulted in Grobler being able to feel the scalpel as the procedure began, leading to another delay in delivery while a general anaesthetic was administered. When baby Amelia finally arrived, she had to be resuscitated and soon began suffering seizures. But ACC declined Grobler's injury claim after it received medical advice that chorioamnionitis, a bacterial infection, could have been the cause of … Continue reading →

Researchers look to conduct research without consent in brain injury study

Posted: Published on June 8th, 2013

By Chelsea Conaboy / Globe Staff/ June 7, 2013 A group of Boston doctors is proposing to study an emergency treatment for brain-injured patients without obtaining the trauma victims consent, arguing that they often arrive at the hospital unconscious or without family members who can speak on their behalf. Federal law and the ethics of medical research require that patients or their surrogates be told about any risks of participating in a study and have the chance to refuse enrollment. But the law allows for an exemption in certain cases involving emergency care. This would be the first such study conducted at Boston hospitals since the US Food and Drug Administration created the rules allowing for it in 1996. Copyright 2013 Globe Newspaper Company.

Promising Results In Early Trial of Novel MS Treatment

In the disease multiple sclerosis, the body's own immune cells stage a mutiny. Those cells, white cells, normally go after foreigners in the body like bacteria or other invaders that make us sick. But in MS, the immune cells go after the body itself, attacking the myelin covering that wraps around nerve cells. As that myelin gets degraded, nerve signals don't get transferred properly, and that's what leads to the symptoms of MS. For years, scientists have been trying to figure out how to stop the myelin attack, to get the body to stop going after itself. This week, researchers say they have some very early promising results for a new approach. Essentially, they have a way to teach the body not to go after itself, and a small preliminary study says the technique is at least safe to use in a larger test. Stephen Miller is professor of microbiology-immunology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He's also a director of the Immunobiology Center at Northwestern in Chicago.

Genetic quirks identified with a unique blueprint

Posted: Published on June 8th, 2013

Empowered: Howard Jacob can tackle problems before they arrive. Photo: Joe Armao American geneticist Howard Jacob has glimpsed the future. Without medical motivation, he has had his genome sequenced and now carries his genetic profile around with him via an app on his tablet. ''Within a decade this is going to be common,'' Professor Jacob said. ''And if you want to get the most bang for your buck, you'd do it on the day that a baby is born.'' Genomics involves the study of the genome: the body's genetic blueprint. How a genome is assembled is different for every person. After having his genome sequenced last year, Professor Jacob learnt of the genetic quirks that lurked in his family tree, including a predisposition to breast cancer for his female relatives. Advertisement The genetics field is developing so rapidly that, like any other app on his tablet, Professor Jacobs needs to update the data. On Wednesday, not long after arriving in Melbourne from Wisconsin, he learnt he was susceptible to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease - also known as mad cow disease. It sounds grim, but for Professor Jacob the information is empowering. It allows problems to be tackled before they arrive and for … Continue reading →
