Docs: Heart Device Might Be Breakthrough for Muscular Dystrophy

Posted: Published on October 29th, 2012

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- A man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who received a device to help his heart's left ventricle pump blood throughout his body could represent a breakthrough in the treatment of the disease, according to his doctors. Jason Williams, 29, of Peebles, Ohio, is believed to be one of the first U.S. patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy to receive an implanted ventricular assist device, the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center team said. Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps implanted in the chest to help a weakened heart pump blood to the rest of the body. Eighty percent of boys and men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy die of heart failure, according to a medical center news release. Due to the severity of their muscle disease, they are not typically candidates for heart transplant or some other treatment options available to patients with other types of muscular dystrophy. "This is a major milestone in the care of Duchenne muscular dystrophy," Dr. John Lynn Jefferies, director of the heart failure and ventricular assist device programs at the Cincinnati Children's Heart Institute, said in the news release. "This treatment offers the possibility to change the outcome and the lives of … Continue reading

New vitamin-based treatment that could reduce muscle degeneration in muscular dystrophy

Posted: Published on October 29th, 2012

Public release date: 23-Oct-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Bryan Ghosh bghosh@plos.org 44-122-344-2837 Public Library of Science Boosting the activity of a vitamin-sensitive cell adhesion pathway has the potential to counteract the muscle degeneration and reduced mobility caused by muscular dystrophies, according to a research team led by scientists at the University of Maine. The discovery, published 23 October in the open access journal PLOS Biology, is particularly important for congenital muscular dystrophies, which are progressive, debilitating and often lethal diseases that currently remain without cure. The researchers found that they could improve muscle structure and function in a zebrafish version of muscular dystrophy by supplying a common cellular chemical (or its precursor, vitamin B3) to activate a cell adhesion pathway. Muscle cells are in themselves relatively delicate, but derive important additional mechanical strength from adhesion protein complexes; these anchor the muscle cells to an external framework known as the basement membrane, thereby helping to buffer the cells against the extreme forces that they experience during muscle contractions. Mutations in the genes that encode these adhesion proteins can weaken these attachments, making muscle cells more susceptible to damage and death. The resulting muscle degeneration can eventually lead to … Continue reading

Epilepsy Treatment - 100% Natural Diet To Treat Epilepsy And Seizure Disorders e-businessmoms.com - Epilepsy Treatment... Do you suffer from epilepsy? Just like me, you can treat your epilepsy by just eliminating the four worst food offenders (gluten, dairy, soy, and corn) from your diet. I never really realized how much of these food additives or what I call "Killers," are ingredients in our foods. Epilepsy Treatment It seems like 99% of our food contains all or at least one of these four offenders that are causing us to be sick. Eliminating these things from your diet completely is not only an epilepsy treatment, but many people are getting cured from doing this. I have been able to cut my medication in half already. So I know for sure it works. At one point in my life I was so embarrassed about my seizure disorder. I did not want anyone to know, besides my family, that I had this condition. People with this disorder used to be laughed at and pretty much labeled as crazy. I am no longer hiding my condition. I am working diligently on getting rid of it naturally and I am going to help a whole … Continue reading
