Stem Cells Poised To Grow Organs For Transplant - 1 views

  • 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.

      I may want to contact this number for my research. 
  • 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.
  •  
    A clinical essay on the use of stem cells on regrowing certain organs and its cit-effects. Is it more dangerous to use stem cells research? Does the benefits out weigh the risks of the procedures?

History of same-sex unions - 0 views

  •  
    Through this article, I was able to find information that I will be using in my presentation. Some facts I found compelling were that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero married at least two men in his lifetime and in Ancient Native America, same-sex unions were revered and even considered holy in many different tribes.

Crossing the Line: Is Gay Marriage Really About Civil Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    I really liked this article because: 1) It has a picture used in my presentation 2) It addresses issues that I found absolutely fascinating, such as the fact that Obama endorsing gay marriage is causing black leaders to oppose the black, Christian church.

Jonah Lehrer on concussions in adolescents and the future of football - Grantland - 1 views

  • 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.
  •  
    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.

Same-sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    This article is practically the foundation of my research and without it, my research would be nothing. Some compelling facts in it are that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero was known to have married at least two men in his lifetime and and Ancient Native Americans who entered same-sex relationships were revered and even considered holy.
