    Most people including religious persons oppose embryonic stem cell use but most if not all people are willing to experiment or allow adult stem cell use. It seems reasonable because adult stem cell research has been the only one that has proven to give effective results with out harming life. Will this prove to be the future of medicine and if so how soon will it be fully available and what price will the average person have to fork out for its use?

  • Growing a complete, functioning brain is unfeasible, but there is real potential in growing functional neural tissue containing specific types of cells, for transplantation into the human brain.

      It may not be possible to regrow a complete brain but we may not have to. If medical science was able they could potentially regrow certain cells and parts of the brain that have degenerated that could prove to cure certain diseases like Alzheimers.

    A study is being done in Japan that has regrown a pituitary gland that is fully funtional when it was transplanted into mice. How soon will it be before it is done on humans? Or is it already being done?

    This is showing me that the type of stem cells that i have chosen to focus on are the only ones that have shown any results in curing these illnesses. Will science do a way with embryonic stem cells and gear their efforts toward adult stem cell research or continue to try and use embryonic stem cells?

    This explains to me the different ethics people have towards embryo-tic stem cell research. But is using adult stem cell research as controversial and disliked as embryo-tic stem cell use?

  • Grekos showed the successful engraftment of stem cells into damaged organs and subsequent regeneration of tissue.
  • Dr. Grekos also highlighted several case studies to illustrate his team's success with Adult Stem Cells. According to their findings, cardiac disease patients experience an average increase of 21% in ejection rates as well as measurable improvements in congestive heart failure class status, some in as little as one month post-treatment
  • Regenocyte Therapeutic is currently using Adult Stem Cells Therapy to treat Congestive Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathy, Peripheral Artery Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Kidney Disease, Ischemic Heart Disease, Pulmonary diseases (COPD, Pulmonary Fibrosis, and Pulmonary Hypertension) and Early Senile Dementia. Patients can call 866-216-5710 or visit http://www.regenocyte.com for information or consultation.

  • Therapeutic, addressed physicians from around the world with a presentation on patients treated with pre-engineered Adult Stem Cells. In the presentation,
  • "This is the logical next step in harnessing the regenerative power of stem cells. This will be the next phase in turning science into medicine
  • PET scans confirm that Adult Stem Cells have the ability to engraft themselves into areas damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and turn into viable new heart muscle.
  • "Three months after treatment, cardiac nuclear scans of the areas treated reveal reversal of damage. We have been able to take patients off the transplant list, and we have been doing it consistently."
  • physicians at the Dominican Republic division of Regenocyte announced clinical results of a 46-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension who was treated with Adult Stem Cells. His pulmonary artery mean pressure went from 41mmHg (severe pulmonary hypertension) to 24 mmHg (normal) in six months.
  • The patient's saturations are now consistently high and he no longer needs to be supplemented with oxygen continuously or considered for a lung transplant. Another patient was successfully treated for cardiac sequelae of Fabry's Disease, and is also no longer considered for heart transplant.

ENG 102 HW1 Football U. Maryland Wallace Loh

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • Last week, U. Maryland (where I was a professor until this past summer) announced it was eliminating 8 varsity sports teams to make up for the fact that football was losing too much money.
  • Here’s what they are cutting: men’s cross-country, indoor track, outdoor track, men’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s acrobatics and tumbling, women’s swimming and diving, and women’s water polo.
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    This proves my point that football is more important than other sports by eliminating 8 varsity sports because it had a bad season. The president of U. Maryland Wallace Loh was the one to send this information of to the students, teachers and faculty.

  • say current and former teachers and parents. Red Lion, they say, has undermined its mission by admitting students who haven't met academic or faith-based requirements and bent or disregarded rules to field a competitive football team.

    Red Lion Christian Academy is under investigation for using an ineligible player, and improperly recruiting players. To field a competitive football team they've ignored standards by accepting students who don't meet faith-based or academic requirements.

Austin Texas Schools: Football is more important than education | Cassandra's Tears - 0 views

ENG 102 HW1 Austin Texas football schools

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • Laying off 1153 people.  On the other hand the athletics department is cutting almost $500,000… from it’s 11.3 MILLION dollar budget.
  • What really sad, is by eliminating athletics, they could immediately save 220 jobs (assuming each of those jobs cost the district $50,000 a year (which it probably does not)).
  • Based on the stipends in the article, they could keep up to 1.3 teachers per coach fired.  That’s probably 10 teachers per high school and 3-5 per middle school.
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    This helps state my argument that today for some reason football (Not just football), is more important that education. The examples used in this article is  how Austin Texas schools laid off 1,153 people on the academic side while on the athletic side only $500,000 from it's 11.3 million dollar budget.

ENG 102 HW1 Football concussions grades

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • A 2004 study, meanwhile, revealed that football players with multiple concussions were 7.7 times more likely to experience a "major drop in memory performance"
  • What's most disturbing, perhaps, is that these cognitive deficits have a real-world impact: When compared with similar students without a history of concussions, athletes with two or more brain injuries demonstrate statistically significant lower grade-point averages.
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    This article explains how concussions effect high school players presently, and later on in life. Most of all it shows that players with concussions have lower grade-point averages.

ENG 102 HW1 Sports all-star players musicians

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • 75% of parents let their child skip an exam for an important game, and only 47% of musicians’ parents would let them skip an exam for a concert or performance.
  • Also, the all-star players said the schools help give them extended deadlines for essays, homework, reports, etc., while the musicians only had 44% and the sport leagues 33%. In addition, 63% of all-stars said the schools helped them with tutoring sessions, while those in sport leagues had 11% and only 8% musicians.
  • After those facts, it is no surprise that the principals interviewed said,” Sports is one of the most popular interests in the school. This can be seen by the fact that the athletes’ needs are met through designing special programs, consideration of their needs, consideration of their teachers, competitions and placing the school athletics program high on our list of priorities
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    From a studies shown in this article that special rewards were given to those who played sports compared to those who played instrument's just to show the difference. Placing school athletics high on their list of priorities.
