Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 RE: Injecting " something " directly into the tumor. Perhaps its injecting some of her sensitized white blood cells into the tumor (Her own WBC would first be sensitized to the tumor antigen in_vitro). Or perhaps it's injecting antigens that would elicit a high immune response. I shudder to think it might be injecting genes into the tumor. This would be highly experimental. Be careful.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 There is at least one clinical trial for a vaccine for lymphoma that I know of; at Stanford. The gene therapy trial that Dr. Kipps conducted in San Diego operates in a similar fashion; both techniques attempt to mount an immune system response to a stimulus. The Phase I trial in San Diego resulted in what Dr. Prussak called 'a massive stimulation of the immune system'. Of course, more trials of more drugs are necessary. A combination of public and private donations are necessary. Please write your congressman/woman to ask for more spending for the National Institutes of Health. --- pandromalley@... wrote: > Dear All, > > Why can't they do this for CLL? > > > http://www.canceroption.com/media/index.asp?url=http://www.canceroption.com/medi\ a/2001/04/05/up/0000-0558-.dsthealthcare_05.htm > > > 73's. > > Pat O'M > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Dear Clau, You are a dear for posting these resources. Thank you so much! You have effectively given me a lot of "homework", but it is somthing I will DO with pleasure, for I am passionate about EFT! Do you know, Clau, if there is a book with EFT stories/testimonials, (apart from what's on the websites), something that can be given as a gift? Are some of the books mentioned below in that category? Love, Dayu P.S.- How's your muscle testing going? Have you had a look at the Age Capacity Process with EFT yet? I've been teaching both in the EFT II Workshop... with much more success than using just EFT alone. it takes it to a whole other level of healing! Happy muscle testing and tapping! If I can help you in any other way to get more proficient at A.K.

I don't have any court cases to suggest but I would suggest the following: 1) broaden the focus to Developmental Disabilities since at least to me, the discrimination faced by ind. w/DS is not qualitatively different than that experienced by ind. w/DD in general. That should make finding court cases much easier. 2) there is an excellent book which I own (and can't find at the moment) which lists and discusses all the landmark cases in the area of DD. I'll find it later today and let you know the title. I would suggest she have her local library obtain a copy of the book for her. It should dramatically simplify her efforts.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Dear , Jane Barlow has an RCT study going in Oxford at the moment on the use of home visiting for the prevention of abuse and neglect. The health visitors there are trained in the Parent Adviser model and strategies for improving parent/infant relationships. They are allocated up to two clients and visit weekly from pregnancy throughout the first year of life. Her latest paper on why people did not want to take part in the study makes fascinating reading. I am not sure if it is published yet. I'll find out and let you have the reference. Anyway the study was trying to replicate some of the work done in America to see if it would work here, as you suggest. Best wishes, research CheryllOn the topic of research questions and at a time when the role of health visiting is so wanted in Policy and so not wanted in Statute I thought to pitch in with something Sure Start work-related and at the core of health visiting.I am deeply embedded in Sure Start at the minute as you know and what I find interesting is the home visiting aspect.Very many early intervention studies (hundreds, I feel like I have read them all!!!!!) in the USA have home visiting as an element in the study (lots of randomised controlled trials) This element has proven to be extremely successful (in the USA and elsewhere) we all know this anyway from the systematic reviews. The home visiting was done by paraprofessionals (sorry American term, ordinary folk who get special on the job training) teachers, social workers and public health nurses. Now here's the thing, the interventions (home visits) were at least weekly for the first year of the intervention (from birth in some studies and in many others from 12 months of age) or twice monthly for the first year and no less than that. On one of my Sure Start research sites they have put a lot of energy into a programme of home visiting and are reaping great rewards because of this activity. But they could not run to weekly for 52 weeks or even half of that the team isn't big enough to cope with that demand. SO what is the correct 'dose response' for home visiting as an early intervention preventive? Literature states (mainly US) that this is a question that they dont know the answer to as yet!!!When and I were working on a study in 1999 where the PCT were very prescriptive about housecalls, we very much felt that if all the PCT allowed practitioners to do was one home visit then it might have been better not to go at all because what difference can one contact make, you are only opening things up to rapidly shut them down. Anyway ever resourceful the health visitors developed a new language to help them cope. They told the clients at the end of the one and only home visit that they were supposed to do that now that they had completed the family's official visit they would be back the following week for the first of the unofficial visits.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 , The only person who would probably be offended if they were to read 's comment " in all the five year's of research I have not come into contact with anyone that has been casted by Dr. Moscovich, " is Dr. Moscovich himself. When someone says they have researched something for five years, that could mean anything. Some people obtain their P.H.D's in five years. I didn't have to " look " for any hidden meanings in 's message, I took her words at face value. I didn't join this group to be part of ISOP, I joined it to be part of a group of parents who share a common interest, their children with scoliosis. I wanted to share my story with others in the hope of helping other parents. I'm NOT a member of ISOP and I don't see how 's grand plan of " patient tracking " is going to help this group at all. An excellent study has already been done on the effects of early treatment with serial corrective casting and that was done by Min Mehta herself. A video was even produced. I would rather not even get into any of this because that is not why I'm here. This is a support group, not ISOP. I don't mean to offend 's intentions, because her intentions are very good. I would love to see the day when parents get the best possible treatment for their children. Any study that relies soley on patient input to " infantilescoliosis.com " will be flawed. That's not meant to be an insult but words of advice.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Thanks , being a supervision junky I know that is where the knowledge can be uncovered but at present supervision is sporadic and only being carried out at a very superficial level and again PCT's do not recognise the need particularly for HV's who work on such an emotional level with their clients Ann Research Unravelling practice knowledge and making it explicit can be good academic research. Not all of us in the academic world shun practice knowledge, Ann. And I know what you mean about learning from colleagues; when I was doing my PhD, I spent one and half hours observing an expert health visitor running a baby clinic and it took me a week to finish writing up my field notes of what had happened. By the end of it, I was almost convinced that I could never be a health visitor, it is so complicated! I realised then that we tend to do, is to watch experienced colleagues when we are students or new to the job and do not really know what we are looking for or at. When we are experienced, we watch students and new practitioners instead of our experienced peers. You are right; there is a goldmine of knowledge out there if we only had the time and will to mine it all! Perhaps it could happen through peer supervision, although that is often poorly carried out. I agree with what you are saying about practitioners getting their knowledge into print (although I do not underestimate the skill involved in making their know-how explicit) and would put in a plea for practitioners to read as well. There are huge amounts of information out there, so we do not always need to reinvent it. kind regardsAnn Girling wrote: I have learnt so much about health visiting despite having been one for nearly 30 years just from listening to my colleagues reflect on the tapes during my interviews. What an untapped source of knowledge there is out there about the health visiting profession. When will people realise academic reserach is not the only way to gain new knowledge? Maybe more of us should be writing about our profession insetad of relying on our academic colleagues to do it all .. or maybe some of the journals should be more open to us mere mortals. I have recently been told that the Community Practitoner is not interested in an article about infant mental health, arguably one of the biggest public health issues facing us today, that i have been asked to support and johnson with following a presentation i did at the Brazelton conference in March.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Sadly, I couldn't get it from the site - perhaps it has been archived? It's a big site but they may have capacity issues. Wood research Yes, , our report is there, under: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/nmvc/research/project/overview.php?the_group=1 The report is a bit old now. It is called 'What quality standards do communityTrusts need for purposes of clinical governance'. First, find the title of the project, then click on it to find the report. I recall that we didn't think much of Essence of Care as a model, even though there was huge enthusiasm in the Department when it first came out. There are some benefits of benchmarking, but they are few and far between and need using with care. I am pleased that someone else has read Robyn's work and found it useful. Anyone else? Is there a way of making it accessible in 'bite size chinks,' or would that be like splitting a diamond?

She is 100% deaf both sides, implant was placed in the less ossified cochlea considering it was the best chance for a full insertion. Otherwise, if not for her condition, she would have been implanted in the way to preserve the best cochlea. All implanted people I know, same criteria was followed. By the way, my wife´s mother language is spanish. Do you know any internet site, like manythings.org, posted here, for spanish ?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 , If you had any " REAL " benefit from a HA i don't see how you would qualify for a CI in that ear in the first place?? If both ears qualify for a CI as they did in my case, then you would have a choice and I know my audi feels the same...Implanting the better ear yields better overall results " MOST " of the time.. It has nothing to do with how fast you hear with the implant but the " overall " improvement. As you know after 6 months you will not see any huge gains in hearing with a CI unless they really messed up your maps to start with. I don't mean how it sounds, I mean actual test scores on speech understanding.. I don't know how long people plan to live but I don't believe you will see any haircell regeneration in the next 20 years.. So in my case, even though I had a better ear (Not completely deaf) it was not doing me any good even with a HA, so I based my decision that way and I am glad i did. If I had usable hearing left that was benefited by a HA then it would have been a no-brainer.. But like I said earlier if a person has " real " benefit from a HA then I doubt they would qualify for a CI to begin with. I know i would NOT have qualified. But like you, I have not seen any studies to back this up. I will be working with Dr. at Syracuse University soon so I will see what i can find out.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Jill, & all, I think some of best recent research discoveries are by Dr. Cheney and that cardiac testing he has done; reported by Carol Sieverling in the DFW April 2005 newsletter. The NCF reported that Cigua Epitope is killing Red blood cells in their recent publication, more great research !

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Jonny Would you be able to take a look at the systematic review done by Escobar (the one you mentioned, and used by the BTA to back up their comments). What we need to know is...did they include ALL the available evidence re T4 - T4/T3 combination, or were they selective and only included those refs to support their T4 monotherapy? It would be really good if you could help us with this. Also, do you have a grasp of other languages apart from English, or is there somebody who speaks other languages that could do some checking out of any research or reviews of T3/T4 and T4 done in other languages. All this is becoming suddenly SO important. Luv - Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yer sure I'll try. I don't speak any other languages unfortunately, it was never my strong point at school lol. And I don't really know anyone who could help me either, sorry. Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Sheila, I couldn't really find much, but there is something interesting in the subjects blood tests. I also showed the information of the netherlands study which was in the Escobar-Morreale article, but in this the proportions they used were not physiological, like most of the studies, so its hard to interpret them. I'll send you an email with an attachment containing all this. I don't really know if it will help as I don't know much about the medical side of things, so my assumptions were based more on logic than medicine - I may have not got things right because of this. Anyway I hope there is something interesting there, and if you think I could look for something else, let me know. Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Perfect it is this type of literature that is needed. Do you have the cites ? The courtroom itself is not the total real world but it is part of the real world that matters a lot to many, many people. Including doctors getting paid. In the bigger picture there is the ‘court’ of public opinion which we want to sway in order to bring them in to our care. This information could be used for all sorts of publications. s. fuchs dc From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Seitz Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:12 PM Subject: research “….in an auto claim a pain free and ‘seemingly’ healthy person gets hurt. 20 years later they discover a big fat spur deforming their spinal cord. Did the joint dysfunction cause the spur ?” You ask a legitimate question but research will never be the answer. You cannot isolate the variables. I can personally speculate based upon basic research: Spurs form in response to mechanical stress (traction spurs), or develop as part of a progressive stabilization response to instability (injury). The original accident may cause focal joint injury, which if not managed properly may lead to the degeneration of the joint through lack of proper motion and which in turn leads to the development of spurs. This doesn’t even consider lack of mechanoreceptor stimulation and ultimate neurological deficit from such; it doesn’t consider all the other important factors such as is their diet pro-inflammatory, are they happy, are they active or sedentary? All of these will affect degree of spurring (in theory). The problem is in litigation you are trying to find “the cause” or responsible party, and such a case is open to too many variables. In the real world we are trying to help our patients get better and find health. The courtroom isn’t the real world.
