D-Mannose for Urinary tract Infections
A client's mother phoned me the other day to ask if I could pass on information about D-Mannose. She was extremely excited about this and was keen that I pass on the information as it may be valuable to others who have had difficulties with persistent urinary tract infections.
Awakening Paralysed Limbs
A monkey with a paralyzed arm can still grasp a ball, thanks to a novel system designed to translate brain signals into complex muscle movements in real time. The research, presented at the Society for Neuroscience conference in Chicago this week, could one day allow people with spinal cord injury to control their own limbs.
Clemson grant to fund tissue regeneration research
A $9.3 million National Institutes of Health grant has been awarded to
Clemson University to fund a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence,
where discoveries could benefit heart and spinal cord injury patients
and others.
The five-year grant is a collaboration between Clemson, the Medical
University of South Carolina and the University of South Carolina. The
center will be housed on the main Clemson campus in Rhodes Hall.

US survey shows impact of spinal cord injury
Researchers
have reported on a survey of more than 33,000 US households. The Christopher & Dana
Reeve Foundation’s Paralysis Resource Center (PRC), participated in one of the largest population-based samples of any
disability ever conducted.
Sufficient information on the prevalence of persons living with
paralysis and spinal cord injuries (SCI) has always been hard to come
by. Most information reported regarding paralysis and SCI is extremely outdated. The new data demonstrates that paralysis may be dramatically more widespread than previously thought.
Nutrition care guidelines for spinal cord injury
The American Dietetic Association has published new evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines for registered dietitians on nutrition care for patients with spinal cord injury.
FES Sport Event Video
A short video is here to celebrate the Second FES Sport Event which was held in Glasgow on the 19th & 20th June. It shows some photographs from the event against a music soundtrack. Hope you like it.
The Games are Over
The FES Sport Day on 19th & 20th June, brought competitors and visitors from Australia, Germany, England and Scotland to compete in various FES Sport events and to experience the latest research and development into FES technology. FES or Functional Electrical Stimulation is the technology that allows spinal cord injured individuals to independently exercise when previously their injury served as permanent obstacle to this.
Sponsored by Anatomical Concepts (UK) Ltd and Hasomed GmbH, the event expanded on a similar event held for researchers in the field back in 2006.
