  • Enabling Technology
    You know you are a PC addict when you can't tear yourself away from what you're doing to watch X-Files. On the plus side, you know you can cope with your addiction if you can manage to raise yourself out of the swivel chair for long enough to set the video. Millions of people watch X-Files and even there are fan clubs on the Net. Its members call themselves X-Philes the sort of word play that only works online.

    Of course, with huge viewers you hardly need to go online to contact a fellow fan, but it's an example of the way in which PC technology enables you to extend your enjoyment of a ...

  • Cellulite: Can We Really Get Rid of It?
    It has been the bane of every women's existence since the dawn of time
    - the affliction known as cellulite. We all have it to varying degrees,
    and it seems to get worse as we get older in many cases. So, should we
    just resign ourselves to the fact that it is here to stay, or is there a way to fight and get rid of cellulite?

    Thankfully, the answer is yes, we can fight cellulite, or at least the
    appearance of cellulite, through several therapeutic treatments that
    are available on the market today. It is not, however, a one-time deal. Once you stop the treatments, the ce ...

  • Female Hair Loss:

    Research shows that up to two thirds of women experience hair loss at some stage in their life and this can often be a very stressful time for women and is an integral part of their self image.

    The most common causes of hair loss in women is not related to inherited genes but usually associated with other factors such as pregnancy, stress, chemotherapy, certain diets, thyroid hormone deficiency, some drugs or infections. Unlike men the hair loss in this case is usually temporary and healthy re-growth can occur over time.

    Unlike men, women rarely go bald but may experience signif ...

    August 19, 2005, Hour One: Gene Therapy Advance / Agriculture and Antibiotic Resistance / Improving Memory
    Scientists report this week that they have made an advance in gene therapy research, using biotech techniques to fight muscular dystrophy in mice. We'll find out more. Plus, a look at a recent FDA decision to ban the use of one antibiotic in agriculture, and ways to improve your memory.


    Gene Therapy May Protect Normal Tissues During Radiation Retreatment For Lung Cancer
    According to a University of Pittsburgh study presented at the 47th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, Oct. 16 to 20, gene therapy could be used as an agent to protect normal tissues from damage during a second administration of radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. Administration of manganese superoxide dismutase plasmid liposome (MnSOD-PL)


    Awakening gene therapy with Sleeping Beauty transposons.
    Publication Date: 2005 Aug 3 PMID: 16084771Authors: Essner, J. J. - McIvor, R. S. - Hackett, P. B.Journal: Curr Opin PharmacolSleeping Beauty transposons have the potential for use as chromosome-integrating vectors for non-viral gene therapy. Recent preclinical data from mouse models for human genetic disorders have shown efficacy for the Sleeping Beauty transposon system in the treatment of hemophilia, tyrosinemia type I, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and type 1 diabetes. Methods have also been developed to deliver Sleeping Beauty transposons to the lung, liver and tumors for treatments for cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and cancer. Recent studies characterizing site selection for integration and insertional mutagenesis indicate that the Sleeping Beauty transposon system may be a safer alternative than viral approaches for gene therapy.


    Finnish scientists work to make gene therapy safer
    Ark Therapeutics has developed a new gene therapy delivery technology, making gene therapy safer. Be sure to read the related article, Gene therapy and genetic engineering: the future of medicine?.


     
    		 
     


  • Factors That Will Affect Sperm Health

    The Sperm DNA Integrity assay (SDIA) like the Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay

    (SCSA) is a tool for measuring clinically important properties of sperm nuclear chromatin integrity. Chromatin is that portion of the cell nucleus which contains the entire DNA of the nucleus in animal or plant cells.

    The results correlate well with the potential of sperm from a given male to produce embryos that would be sufficiently “competent to produce a live birth. The SDIA utilizes the metachromatic features of acridine orange (AO), a DNA probe, and the principles of flow cytometry (FCM).

  • Treating West Nile Virus with High Quality St. John's Wort

    West Nile Virus, although new to the U.S., is well-documented. The Centers for Disease Control identifies it as a flavivirus, a member of the Togavirus family. It is closely related to yellow fever and dengue fever. This is important because the Togavirus family are encapsulated viruses, i.e., they are covered with a lipid (fatty) coating.

    This is exciting, because it means the virus is accessible to treatment utilizing high quality St. John's Wort (SJW). Several studies have been done on a variety of encapsulated viruses, including herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, parainfluenza vi ...

  • National ID Card? Congress Approves Electronic ID Card

    Are we moving towards an Orwellian 1984 scenario in the United States? Are we still truly the land of the free? Many are predicting severe limitations to our way of life in light of the impending requirement of a national ID card.

    On May 10, 2005, Congress approved the “Real ID Act” as part of a military spending bill. President Bush is expected to sign the bill shortly.

    So, what’s the big deal? Currently, the federal government has no method for tracking citizens within the United States. If you fly to Las Vegas for a week, the government cannot track you without obtaining a wa ...
