Children with autism in Ontario can wait four years for an intensive therapy which, when provided early enough, could change the course of their lives. The Star surveyed the nine regional centres that manage autism services and found average wait times ranging from one year to four years for intensive behavioural intervention (IBI), the only sustained treatment paid for by the province. How quickly a child gets it depends on where he or she lives. In Toronto, children assessed and found eligible for the therapy, targeted at kids on the more severe end of the autism spectrum, wait an average of two years for a spot. That compares with 10 to 12 months in London and three years in Hamilton. Wait times for services in Ontario In Durham, York and Simcoe, the average wait is four years, according to Kinark Child and Family Services, Ontarios largest provider of autism services and the lead agency for the central east region, which spans a huge catchment area north and east of Toronto. By the time children in that region begin receiving IBI, they are on average 7.6 years old past the critical window between the ages of 2 and 7, when scientists … Continue reading →

ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2012) Scientists may have discovered a new way to prevent strokes in high risk patients, according to research from the University of Warwick and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW). Work by a new research group, led by Professor Donald Singer, Professor of Therapeutics at Warwick Medical School and Professor Chris Imray from UHCW, has now been published in US journal Stroke. The group is using ultrasound scanning to look at patients with carotid artery disease, one of the major causes of stroke. Clots can form on diseased carotid arteries in the neck. Small parts of these clots can released to form microemboli, which can travel to block key brain arteries and lead to weakness, disturbed speech, loss of vision and other serious stroke syndromes. Standard anti-platelet drugs such as aspirin may not prevent the formation of harmful microemboli. The scanning process can be used to find patients at very high risk of stroke because microemboli have formed despite prior anti-platelet drugs. Using scanning, the team has found that tirofiban, another anti-platelet drug designed to inhibit the formation of blood clots, can suppress microemboli where previous treatment such as aspirin has been ineffective. In their study, tirofiban … Continue reading →

A new form of rust discovered by researchers in the hearts of mice may hold the key to the cause of a rare inherited disease in humans that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare condition which can strike children as young as five, and can result in gait disturbance, speech problems, heart disease, diabetes and premature death - and has no treatment. But an international research team, led by scientists from the University of Western Australia, believe a new form of iron may hold a clue which leads to potential relief for sufferers of the fatal disease. In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, co-authored by Professor Tim St Pierre and Dr Lucia Gutierrez, it reveals the presence of a yet-to-be named new form of iron in the heart of the mice with the disease. "It's a type of rust that isn't an iron oxide," Professor St Pierre said. "An excess of iron where it shouldn't be can cause problems, while iron deficiency also causes problems." The experiments were carried out in the livers and hearts of affected mice at temperatures as low minus 268 degrees Centigrade. Read … Continue reading →
