Posted: Published on March 18th, 2013

So is a family from Baden after their dog was treated with stem cells. Just before thanksgiving, Sadies severe skin allergies led to blisters and a nasty rash on her belly. Traditionally, we use it for arthritis, we use it for ligament issues, bone fractures, things like that. But this dog had an immune system. Its allergic to everything under the sun, Dr. Mike Hutchinson said. After trying the standard of care, Dr. Mike suggested stem cells. We were at a loss, so we just chose to do this and within the day we brought her home we said, What do we do? because she was pretty raw and sore. Within five days, she was almost completely healed, Debbie Valosio said. Stem cells are a repair cell that we take from fat and its just that a repair cell. One of its functions its a potent immuno-modulator which means it helps to calm the immune system down if it is over-reacting, not to the point where it makes it too low, but it calms it down, Dr. … Continue reading →

Mayo Clinic to hold trial for BrainStorm's ALS stem cell therapy

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2013

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics said the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has agreed to conduct a clinical trial of the company's adult stem cell treatment for ALS. The Mayo Clinic is the third leading U.S. clinical site to sign a letter of understanding, following the University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts General, BrainStorm said on Monday. Israel-based BrainStorm is developing NurOwn for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Initial results from Phase I studies suggest that patients with ALS experience a positive clinical outcome after treatment with NurOwn cells, the company said. Anthony Windebank, principal investigator at the Mayo Clinic, said the clinic started patient stem cell safety trials last year. "The next logical ... step is the type of modification that enables BrainStorm's NurOwn cells to deliver factors to the nervous system that are known to promote motor nerve cell survival," Windebank said. BrainStorm plans to enroll patients into clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts General as early as the second half of 2013. "This is another step forward in finding … Continue reading →

Cancer Group Discusses Link Between Prostate Cancer And Erectile Dysfunction

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2013

March 17, 2013 redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports Your Universe Online Men suffering from prostate cancer are four times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction (ED) than those without the condition a phenomenon caused largely by the treatment process, according to the UK-based Macmillan Cancer Support charity. According to the Belfast Telegraph, the organization said there are currently about 160,000 men being treated for prostate cancer in the UK who are suffering from ED. As they went through surgery, radiotherapy and hormone treatments, it became difficult or even impossible for those men to maintain erections. In some there may be permanent nerve damage, meaning they cannot maintain an erection. In others the physical problem can be temporary while for some the treatment has led to a psychological barrier to sex, BBC News added. Macmillan Cancer Support officials said two out of every three prostate cancer patients report an inability to get an erection as a result of their therapy. These figures highlight a major issue facing prostate cancer patients after treatment, explained Professor Jane Maher, chief medical officer of the UK cancer charity. The sheer volume of men affected shows the need for careful discussions before treatment. Many can be … Continue reading →

Stem cells transplantation technique has high potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for erectile dysfunction

Posted: Published on March 18th, 2013

Mar. 15, 2013 Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells cultivated on the surface of nanofibrous meshes could be a novel therapeutic strategy against post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction (ED), conclude the authors of a study which is to be presented at the 28th Annual EAU Congress later this week. The study was conducted by a group of Korean scientists and will be awarded 3rd prize for best abstract in non-oncology research on the opening day of the congress. During their investigation, the group aimed to examine the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells cultivated on the surface of nanofibrous meshes (nano-hMSCs) into neuron-like cells and repair of erectile dysfunction using their transplantation around the injured cavernous nerve (CN) of rats. "The objectives of the study reflect a very pertinent need in today's urology practice," said the lead author of the investigation Prof. Y.S. Song of Soonchunhyang University School of Medicine in South Korea. "Post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction results from injury to the cavernous nerve that provides the autonomic input to erectile tissue. It is a common complication after radical prostatectomy which decreases the patient's quality of life." "Although advances in equipment and surgical techniques reduce this complication, patients still experience erectile dysfunction after radical … Continue reading →

A wave of drug abuse has rocked Wall Street hard and its pushing record numbers of strung-out bankers, traders and other hotshot financial workers to seek treatment, a Post investigation reveals. The Streets raging drug-dependency explosion may be out of control, medical experts say, as the once-Masters of the Universe struggle with reduced pay and staff. Where once cocaine was the drug of choice for money managers, financial-service employees are now behind the surge in opioid painkiller use such as: Vicodin-, Oxycontin- and Percocet-linked visits to New York City emergency departments, a recent city health report says. As a result of that report, Mayor Bloomberg announced new emergency-room guidelines to prevent opioid prescription painkiller abuse. Prescription painkillers can provide life-changing relief for people in dire health situations, but they can be extremely dangerous if used or prescribed improperly, the mayor said. The most recent data show that visits to New York City emergency rooms for opioid painkiller-linked conditions has risen to 143 patients out of every 100,000 almost tripling in the last six years. In a groundbreaking study, University of Pennsylvania professor, Alexandra Michel, takes a chilling look at the dark side of life for a modern financier: Six out … Continue reading →
