Preliminary plan for the SCIA medical disease registry

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Below is the Preliminary plan for the SCIA medical disease registry.

We are in the final stages of receiving IRB medical approval for the SCIA

medical disease registry. We are also building a computer system to manage the

registry data electronically and we are working on the SCIA website in both

english and spanish version among other things.

Parents are welcomed to continue asking their MDs to order the SCIA lab tests.

After all SCIA only want your children to get better so even though we won't be

able to use your children's lab results until the registry is open it is ok,

because there hundred of thousands of children in the USA alone with ASD. It is

just that when the registry is open it will be much easier to get MDs to order

the lab tests for your children.

Preliminary plan for the SCIA medical disease registry

1. SCIA will make available all the documents and tools necessary for parents to

approach their MDs and ask them to order the SCIA medical research lab tests.

2. SCIA will help doctors understand what medications have been used

successfully to treat the most common pathogens (infectious agents) that could

have contributed to the children's immune system dysfunction. We will help them

understand what can be done to inhibit microglial activation and how to make

sure that children are treated safely.

3. By SCIA receiving IRB medical approval for the autism medical disease

registry, it will be easier for parents to convince doctors, because they will

feel that this is an organized and safe effort.

4. SCIA will make sure that doctors know they are very important factor in this

study and that their cooperation will change the lives of many children and

their families.

If you wonder what we mean by IRB approval please read the information below.

Institutional Review Board

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_review_board

An institutional review board (IRB), also known as an independent ethics

committee (IEC) or ethical review board (ERB), is a committee that has been

formally designated to approve, monitor, and review biomedical and behavioral

research involving humans with the aim to protect the rights and welfare of the

research subjects. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

and Department of Health and Human Services (specifically Office for Human

Research Protections) regulations have empowered IRBs to approve, require

modifications in planned research prior to approval, or disapprove research. An

IRB performs critical oversight functions for research conducted on human

subjects that are scientific, ethical, and regulatory.
