Rise in serious head injuries among snowboarders and skiers
Serious head injuries among alpine skiers and snowboarders have risen over the past 15 years, reveals research in Injury Prevention. view more (2007-12-04)
Multiple route bone marrow stem cell injections show promise to treat spinal cord injury
Researchers from DaVinci Biosciences, Costa Mesa, California, in collaboration with Hospital Luis Vernaza in Ecuador, have determined that injecting a patient's own bone marrow-derived stem cells (autologous BMCs) directly into the spinal column using multiple routes can be an effective treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI) that returns some... view more...

Jefferson Orthopaedic Surgeons Leading International Study of Timing of Spinal Surgery
When it comes to a devastating spinal injury, says spine surgeon Alexander Vaccaro, M.D., timing might be nearly everything. It's also a topic of great debate and discussion among orthopaedic surgeons. view more (2006-10-05)
Spinal cord repair: pilot trials "within sight"
When the brain and spinal cord are injured, the damage is permanent, because the tissues cannot repair themselves in the way that bone and skin can. Writing in the June Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Dr Geoffrey Raisman describes encouraging results from a new approach to the problem, which he believes will make it possible to plan a... view more...

Are you male, aged 25 to 45 and need a rest?
ESA is looking for volunteers to participate in a 3-month bed-rest experiment in Toulouse, France, in early 2001. The main purpose of the experiment is to improve the rehabilitation of patients and evaluate the consequences of long space flights. Candidates should be male, EC citizens and aged from 25 to 45. In addition they must be between 165... view more... (2000-11-01)
Bayer launches Phase III clinical study of Trasylol in elective spinal fusion surgery
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NYSE: BAY) today announced the initiation of a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Trasylol® (aprotinin injection) in reducing blood loss and the need for transfusion in adult patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery. view more (2005-12-09)
Sticky protein helps reinforce fragile muscle membranes
A new study by scientists at the University of Iowa shows why muscle membranes don't rupture when healthy people exercise. view more (2009-07-24)
Spinal fluid proteins signal Lou Gehrig's disease
High levels of certain proteins in the spinal fluid could signal the onset of Lou Gehrig's disease, according to researchers. The discovery of these biomarkers may lead to diagnostic kits for early diagnosis, accurately measuring the progression of the disease and monitoring the effects of treatment. view more (2009-01-29)
Study may explain exercise-induced fatigue in muscular dystrophies
A University of Iowa study suggests that the prolonged fatigue after mild exercise that occurs in people with many forms of muscular dystrophy is distinct from the inherent muscle weakness caused by the disease. view more (2008-10-27)
Lending a helping arm
Cambridge engineers develop new system to help disabled peopleA group of engineers at the University of Cambridge has designed a new device to give a ‘helping arm’ to people with muscular weaknesses such as muscular dystrophy or motor neurone disease. The device, which can be attached to the back of a wheelchair, supports the weight of... view more... (2001-05-15)
Researchers link inflammatory diseases to increased cardiovascular risk
Patients suffering from two serious autoimmune disorders which cause muscular inflammation are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-09-02)
Pathways of emotion - from cortex to peripheral organs
Walking down a dark alley late at night is enough to give anyone the heebie-jeebies. Your heart starts racing, your palms get clammy and you get ready to run. Now researchers from Boston University have unravelled the neural pathways that transmit information about your surroundings to your organs, enabling them to respond appropriately. The... view more... (2003-10-07)
Researchers use MRI to predict recovery after spinal cord injury
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiologists can better predict the likelihood of full or partial recovery of patients with acute spinal cord injuries (SCI). view more (2007-05-29)
Elderly women with 'dowager's hump' may be at higher risk of earlier death
Hyperkyphosis, or "dowager's hump" - the exaggerated forward curvature of the upper spine seen commonly in elderly women - may predict earlier death in women whether or not they have vertebral osteoporosis, UCLA researchers have found. view more (2009-05-22)
Study establishes safety of spinal cord stem cell transplantation
Transplanting human embryonic stem cells does not cause harm and can be used as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury. view more (2006-07-20)
Stem-cell transplantation improves muscles in MD animal model, UT Southwestern researchers report
Using embryonic stem cells from mice, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have prompted the growth of healthy - and more importantly, functioning - muscle cells in mice afflicted with a human model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. view more (2008-01-21)
Passive smoking almost doubles risk of degenerative eye disease
Passive smoking almost doubles the risk of the progressively degenerative eye disease, age related macular degeneration, shows research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2005-12-20)
Master regulator found for regenerating nerve fibers in live animals
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report that an enzyme known as Mst3b, previously identified in their lab, is essential for regenerating damaged axons (nerve fibers) in a live animal model, in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. view more (2009-10-26)
Researchers develop DNA 'patch' for canine form of muscular dystrophy
Using a novel genetic technology that covers up genetic errors, researchers funded in part by the National Institutes of Health have developed a successful treatment for dogs with the canine version of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a paralyzing, and ultimately fatal, muscle disease. view more (2009-03-16)
Drug Fights Cystic Fibrosis
An experimental drug that has proven effective in treating muscular dystrophy also works for cystic fibrosis, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-02-06)
