Doctors' Column: New drug may help with MS symptoms

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2013

Pictures from the 2012 presidential campaign depict Ann Romney, wife of candidate Mitt Romney, as a woman with bright eyes and a dancers posture. But beneath the polished business suit, another battle has raged. Ann Romney was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) many years ago and experienced a flare-up of symptoms that forced her to curtail campaign efforts. There is no known cause or cure for MS, although medications are available to slow the progression of the disease. However, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered that the drug daclizumab appears to tone down the autoimmune response in MS patients, providing hope for those trying to overcome the obstacles of living with MS. MS is an autoimmune disorder, meaning cells in the bodys immune system attack healthy tissues. In the case of MS, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells. Myelin is crucial in the conduction of electrical impulses to and from the brain. The loss of myelin, called demyelination, causes hardened scars in areas of the nerves and brain affected. The name multiple sclerosis actually means many scars. MS is the most common disease of the central nervous system in young adults, affecting … Continue reading →

EmberClear Completes Technical Feasibility Study for a Natural Gas to Liquids Project in Natchez, MS

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2013

CALGARY , Feb. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - EmberClear Corp. (EMB.V) ("EmberClear" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its subsidiary, EmberClear GTL MS Inc. ("EmberClear GTL"), has completed the technical feasibility study for a natural gas to liquids project (the "Project") in Natchez, Mississippi. It is anticipated that if the Project proceeds it will be capable of producing 4,000 tons of methanol per day or 14,000 barrels of gasoline per day. Abundant natural gas supplies in North America can produce high value transportation fuels using proven technologies. This Project's proximity to competitively priced sources of natural gas and the Gulf Coast petrochemical complex creates the potential for attractive pricing, efficient access to markets and multiple modes of transportation. "It is our intent to take advantage of the recently available long-term natural gas contracts and address the desire for more domestic energy. The USA may continue to import oil for decades but facilities like ours could potentially reduce such imports while providing lower cost energy," stated Nick Cohen , Chief Operating Officer. EmberClear has access to an 800-acre site along the Mississippi River. "This site is served by American Midstream's Midla pipeline system that intersects three interstate gas pipelines providing us … Continue reading →

Edison Pharmaceuticals & Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital Announce Initiation of EPI-743 Phase 2 Cobalamin C …

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2013

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Edison Pharmaceuticals today announced the initiation of a phase 2 clinical trial entitled, "Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of EPI-743 in Patients with Cobalamin C Defect." The trial is a placebo-controlled study lasting 12 months, preceded by a six-month run-in phase for all patients to establish a defined clinical and metabolic baseline. The primary endpoint is improvement in visual function with secondary outcome measurements assessing neurologic and neuromuscular function, glutathione biomarkers, quality of life, as well as safety parameters. More information on study specifics is available at http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov. The rationale underlying this investigation is centered on understanding whether EPI-743 a therapeutic targeting primary defects in electron transport might hold therapeutic benefit in disorders of intermediary metabolism that also result in redox disturbances. "Cobalamin C deficiency represents an inherited disorder that induces perturbations in the metabolism of glutathione. Given the central role of glutathione in cellular redox balance and antioxidant defense systems, we are eager to explore whether a therapeutic that increases glutathione such as EPI-743 will provide clinical benefit," statedProfessor Carlo Dionisi-Vici, Division of Metabolism, Bambino Gesu Children's Hospital the trial's principal investigator. Cobalamin C Deficiency Syndrome Cobalamin C (Cbl-C) defect belongs to the … Continue reading →

9 Investigates: Medical Center that offered hormone replacement

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2013

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A former Charlotte doctor's office offered to boost your energy and make you feel younger, but Channel 9 uncovered that patients may not know the hormone treatment therapy they received could cause health problems. Eyewitness News found out how North Carolina's medical board took action. Charlotte residents may be familiar with HRC Medical Center that offered hormone replacement treatment last fall. When Eyewitness News found a North Carolina Medical Board order from October requiring that HRC's Medical Director Dr. John Murphy Jr. disassociate himself from the practice, Eyewitness News starting digging further at the State Medical Board office in Raleigh. Board attorney Marcus Jimison said HRC doctors prescribed patients hormone therapy even though their levels were normal. "They are paying for this and it is not cheap. Yet they are not being told there are serious health consequences," said Jimison. He said those possible side effects can include cancer, heart disease and blood clots, plus other issues when hormone levels are too high. Jimison said some HRC patients experienced those exact problems. "Then when they started developing female characteristics, HRC would prescribe Famara, a cancer drug, used off label to counteract these side effects," he said. Read more: … Continue reading →
