ST. ANTHONY At a clinic in rural Fremont County, innovative practices in veterinary medicine are fairly routine. But many upper valley residents probably arent even aware of whats happening in a cluster of green roofed buildings west of U.S. Highway 20 in the Twin Groves area. Dr. Richard Gearys Countryside Veterinary Clinic has international clients and patients. His expertise in bovine and equine reproduction is well known by cattle breeders and ranchers in Argentina and other countries. After leaving a practice in his native Burley, he established his clinic in Fremont County in 1997. His expertise and client base has led to his becoming one of only three veterinarians in Idaho certified to collect embryos and prepare them for transfer internationally, to South America, the European Union and China. He has many clients in the U.S. as well, including his neighbor, Brian Loosli, who operates a red Angus breeding ranch in the Ashton area. Ranchers with registered herds are his typical clients in the market for the embryo transfer process. Most recently, he has branched out in his innovative practice and has learned how to collect stem cells and inject the activated cells to treat injured animals with some success. … Continue reading →

Cancer Health Home>>Cancer>>Health news Provided by: RELAXNEWS Written by: Relaxnews May. 3, 2013 Some of the most devastating forms of cancer have genetic similarities even though they strike different body parts, according to new studies out Thursday. The new research -- one study focused on a form of leukemia, in the New England Journal of Medicine, and a second on endometrial cancer, in Nature -- could offer a pathway to new, more effective treatments. The new findings challenge the previous approach of classifying tumors based on the body part where they are first observed, and add fuel to the growing trend of differentiating tumors based on their genetic profile. Thanks to that analysis, scientists had already found genetic relationships between certain forms of breast, lung, and colon cancers. For example, one type of breast cancer presents genetic mutations very similar to the ones found in ovarian cancer, and colon cancers often have mutations found in breast cancer. The researchers said around half of all lung cancers could respond to treatments used against other kinds of tumours. The latest study found the most aggressive form of endometrial cancer, which affects the uterine lining, is similar to more grave forms of breast … Continue reading →

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thanks to an innovative Greenville Health System partnership with Selah Genomics, a new gene-based diagnostic test is paving the way for more precise and potentially far more effective cancer treatment at GHS. This is the first time that this type of advanced genetic test has been developed, validated and employed in a clinical setting in South Carolina to empower oncologists to tailor specific treatment plans based on the particular molecular profile of each patients cancer. Selahs PrecisionPath test, which was developed with clinical guidance from GHS oncologists, addresses the game-changing redefinition of the classification of cancer. When it comes to treatment, one size does not fit all anymore, said Joe Stephenson, MD, medical director of GHS Institute for Translational Oncology Research (ITOR). Cancers have long been categorized and treated by the anatomic site of origin of the cancer for example, lung or breast but emerging science shows that we have exhausted what can be achieved with that approach. Selahs Clinical Genomics Center at ITOR was founded to focus on the mutations, or alterations, in the genes that drive a persons cancer and to help clinicians, academic researchers and drug developers better target exactly what drugs would work … Continue reading →
