A student nurse has saved the life of a man who fell on to the tracks at a Brisbane train station just minutes before a train was due to arrive. SIX months of nursing training paid off for Kay Seymour yesterday when she put her own life on the line to save a man who fell on to train tracks at Wooloowin station on Brisbane's northside. The 56-year-old man had become disoriented as a result of seizures and stepped off the platform just before 8am, with the train due at 8.04am. Ms Seymour, 42, said she heard someone yell out "He's on the tracks" and her nursing training just kicked in. "I tried to get a verbal response from him at first, but when that didn't work I said to another lady 'I'm going to have to get on the tracks'," Ms Seymour said.

Adelaide University researchers are embarking on a new project which uses stem cells to treat multiple sclerosis. Source: Supplied A POTENTIAL new treatment for multiple sclerosis lies within modified adult stem cells, University of Adelaide researchers say. The researchers are embarking on a new project which uses stem cells from fat tissue to send cells with special anti-inflammatory properties directly to the damaged site in the central nervous system. MS is a progressive disease where the body attacks the central nervous system, causing nerve inflammation and scarring. It results in the impairment of motor, sensory and cognitive function. Brittany Christensen, 17, raises $1000 for Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign Director of the Centre for Molecular Pathology, Professor Shaun McColl, said treatments for MS need to control the immune response and repair the damage caused to the fatty myelin sheaths which protect the nerves. "We've already shown that adult stem cells have great potential to both control the immune response and promote repair of the central nervous system. It also prevents further damage," he said. "But the trick is getting the stem cells to the right location where they can perform this function." When stem cells are injected into the blood … Continue reading →

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Broward Sheriff's Office detention deputy is under investigation for her treatment of inmate who suffers from multiple sclerosis. Deputy Delia Daly-England has been removed from her position at the main jail and has had no contact with any inmates since the incident last year. Lauren Militello, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and had sprained ankle, says she was grabbed by the neck, thrown to the ground and then dragged by her hair into a cell. Militello was using crutches at the time of the incident. Militello says once she was in the cell, she was beaten until she suffered a seizure. Video obtained by Local 10 shows Daly-England grabbing Militello by the neck and dragging her by the hair. "All of a sudden she just knocked me down and hit me," Militello told Local 10's Jeff Weinsier. "I didn't see it coming." Militello says her encounter with Daly-England began in a secure area, outside the jail where inmates arrive. The area is known as the sally-port. She says she was in so much pain from her MS, she sat on the ground as she waited to be booked for a violation of probation charge. More: … Continue reading →
