La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) September 03, 2014
A new study, published on Aug. 8th, 2014 in Stem Cells Translational Medicine, has shown the positive effect stem cell therapy has had on a group of patients only 6 months after their treatment. Researchers observed significant improvements in disease-related complications in each of the 5 patients included in the study. Post-treatment brain scans of each patient revealed that stroke-related damage was reduced over time. Further, at six-month follow-ups patients demonstrated improvements in standard measures of stroke-related disability and impairment.
Researchers are being cautiously optimistic when considering these results. Similar improvements are often seen in stroke patients as part of the normal recovery process and state that more thorough studies will need to be completed. Nonetheless, the findings are absolutely astounding as the five patients included in this study suffered severe strokes. Four out of five of the patients had the most serious type of stroke. Normally only 4% of these patients survive and are able to live independently after six months of a stroke occurrence.
Clinical studies for stem cell treatment are currently being offered by StemGenex to patients diagnosed with Stroke and other degenerative neurological diseases. Innovation is truly a driving force for StemGenex. Stroke Patients who receive stem cell treatment through StemGenex receive multiple therapeutic modalities they simply cannot find elsewhere under one roof, said Jeremiah McDole, Director of Scientific Research and Development at StemGenex. Offering targeted therapies that deliver stem cells past the blood brain barrier is essential to providing effective treatment for patients with neurological disorders.
StemGenex takes a unique approach of compassion and empowerment while providing access to the latest stem cell therapies for degenerative neurological diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Alzheimers disease, and others. Rita Alexander, founder of StemGenex and the companys first stem cell patient, insists that all patients be treated like they are one of our loved ones. Hope, compassion, and the relentless pursuit for an end to these diseases are the primary focus.
To find out more about stem cell therapy, contact StemGenex either by phone at (800) 609-7795 or email Contact@stemgenex.com

The treatment involves injecting up to 20 million stem cells into patients' brains. It was tested on patients at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital in 2012.
The Surrey-based company said it would work at 10 sites across the UK, including the Southern General, on a Phase II efficacy study of the ReN001 treatment involving 41 patients.

The treatment is designed to deliver a meaningful improvement in upper limb function in disabled stroke patients.
In May, the company said data from a long-term follow- up involving 11 patients included in a Phase I safety study of ReN001 at the Glasgow hospital observed sustained reductions in neurological impairment and spasticity in most patients. No cell-related or immunological adverse events were reported .
Yesterday, Reneuron said it has also started a Phase I safety study at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee of its ReN009 therapy for people with lower limb ischaemia. It will involve nine patients.
Reneuron says the disease is common in patients with diabetes and can lead to amputation of the limb.

The Ramakrishna Mission that was started in this city in 1939 will be celebrating its platinum jubilee in this year. But, only a few would know that the seed of this ashram was sown by none other than the Holy Mother Sarada Devi, consort of Sri Ramakrishna, in 1911.
While travelling in a train during her visit to the southern states sometime during 1911, the train halted at Visakhapatnam, and overwhelmed by the beauty and tranquillity of the place, she had exclaimed in Bengali It is such a nice place.
Perhaps, that was how she sowed the seed for the future centre of RK Mission, says Atmavidananda, present secretary of the RK Mission.
Later in 1924, Swami Shivanandaji Maharaj, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and the second president of Ramakrishna Math and Mission, who visited the city on an invitation by a few local devotees laid the foundation for the centre. The ashram finally came up in 1938 with Swami Nishreyasanandaji as its first secretary. The mission came up with the help of a local devotee, Kancharla Ramabrahmam, and with just one or two monks, says Swami Atmavidananda.
From starting a school for children of fishermen in a hut and operating from a small building at RK Beach, the mission has grown to manage a Ramakrishna Mission High School with over 900 children.
The new temple had come up in 1991 and the old building was renovated to house a library with a collection of over 18,000 books and periodicals. The centre also runs a Cerebral Palsy Clinic on the temple campus. This apart, the Mission has been running personality development and yoga classes, free eye camps and medical camps in rural areas and providing succour to lakhs during natural calamities.
For C. Krishna Kumar, businessman and Rotarian, the association with the RK Mission began when he was young. Sharing his experiences he says, As a child I would go to the mission to savour the coconut laddu prasadam. But later after reading the books written by Swami Vivekananda, the real journey of life had begun. The RK Mission has changed many a life in this city, he says. Another builder A.V. Ramaraju, who has been associated with the RK Mission since last five decades, says the RK Mission was a spiritual landmark for this city.
It was the first spiritual institution to come up here, he says.

Nina Kaiser attests to how she used the chanting practices she learned on the Soul Healing Miracles Chanting Channel to transform how she deals with uncomfortable family reunions.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
New personal testimony written by Nina Kaisers emotional healing story of how she used Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Shas new interactive Soul Healing Miracles Chanting Television Channel to transform her family dynamics from one that is usually challenging and filled with resentment into a loving, healthy family reunion. Prior to traveling for this family reunion, Nina Kaiser visited the Chanting Channel to request blessings from the thousands of people chanting online together to heal her reunion with her family.
After requesting blessings here and chanting, everything went totally smooth! writes Nina Kaiser on the gratitude basket feature on the chanting channel site. The drive was very pleasant and meeting the family was absolutely great! No resentments, just a very great time together for family members who havent seen each other in years, writes Ms. Kaiser.
After requesting a blessing on the Soul Healing Miracles Chanting Television Channel and chanting along with the thousands of others on the television site, Nina Kaiser adds, It was a wonderful, healing and transforming meeting. I am so extremely grateful for the blessing for my family as they are facing so many challenges. I know that a lot of healing and transformation has been taking place. Read Nina Kaiser's testimony on http://tv.drsha.com.

To experience the personal transformation, go to the Chanting Channel
Throughout history, chanting mantras has been one of the most powerful spiritual and energetic practices since humans have been on the planet. Chanting involves repeating special sacred vibratory sounds, mantras or songs for healing, rejuvenation, and purification of ones life. In a recent Daily Mail article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-563533/Gregorian-chanting-reduce-blood-pressure-stress.html), a senior lecturer in neuroscience was quoted saying that the musical structure of chanting can have a significant and positive physiological impact and that chanting has been shown to lower blood pressure, increase levels of the performance hormone DHEA as well as reduce anxiety and depression.
Chanting mantras have served millions of people for centuries and have been used in the African, Hawaiian, Native American cultures, as well as the Roman Catholic (Gregorian, psalms), Jewish (Cantillation), Muslim (Quran reading), Buddhist and Hindu religions for spiritual and healing arts, and ways in which people connect with God or the Divine. Today, billions of people recognize the benefits of chanting on the level of soul, heart, mind, and body.

Astronaut Reid Wiseman of the International Space Station posted a wicked cool view of Boston from his 800 milimeter lens camera on Labor Day, the latest in a line of impressive images of the city from outer space.
Heres the photo in question from Wisemans Twitter account (a must-follow, by the way).

Its a stunningly crystal clear picture of Boston. In the lower-left section, Logan Airports long runways are clearly visible. Boston Common stands out as a green oasis in the center of downtown, and bodies of water of Pleasure Bay, the Inner Harbor, and Fort Point are evident from afar.
The image is Wisemans first of Boston since he boarded the ISS in May. The photo joins a sizable group of images of Boston from outer space, conveniently organized by location on this map.
Previous pictures of Boston largely came from former ISS Commander Chris Hadfield in 2013. In particular, one post amid the Boston Marathon bombings was widely shared.
Hadfield had previously posted other images of the city, too, including posts in January and February 2013.

International Space Station crew members currently forced to wait for resupply vehicles to arrive with essential items could soon benefit from the arrival of a new 3D printer later this year, NASA officials announced on Tuesday.
The device, which was constructed by Made In Space Inc. and passed flight certification and acceptance testing at NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama back in April, is expected to make its way to the ISS later this year aboard the SpaceX-4 resupply mission, the US space agency said.
The 3D printer will be the first to ever leave the Earths atmosphere, and NASA is banking on it being a game-changer. They hope that it will demonstrate that the technology can work normally in the orbital laboratorys microgravity environment, and that it will be able to produce parts equal in quality to those made on the ground.
It works by extruding heated plastic, which then builds layer upon layer to create three-dimensional objects, explained Jessica Eagan of the International Space Station Program Science Office at Marshall Space Flight Center. Testing this on the station is the first step toward creating a working machine shop in space.
This capability may decrease cost and risk on the station, will be critical when space explorers venture far from Earth and will create an on-demand supply chain for needed tools and parts, she added. If the printer is successful, it will not only serve as the first demonstration of additive manufacturing in microgravity, but it also will bring NASA a big step closer to evolving in-space manufacturing for future missions to destinations such as an asteroid and Mars.
Made In Space received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) from Marshalls 3-D Printing In Zero-G Technology Demonstration (3-D Printing In Zero-G) program to build the device. The project is supported by the International Space Station Technology Development Office in Houston, as well as the Advanced Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate and the Game Changing Development Program at NASA HQ in Washington.
If proven to be successful, the technology would greatly benefit long-term space missions thanks to the onboard manufacturing capabilities it would provide, explained NASA. The data and knowledge gained during this demonstration will improve future 3D manufacturing technology and equipment for use by the space program, while allowing astronauts to have a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility during missions, the agency added.

NASA Planning To Send 3D Printer Technology To ISS Later This Year
Riddle: It's the size of a small microwave, and it may alleviate the need for NASA astronauts to wait for resupply ships to arrive at theInternational Space Stationto get some essential items.
Answer: A3-D printer-- the first ever to be flown to space. And it could change the way NASA does business aboard the space station.
The 3-D Printing In Zero-G Technology Demonstration (3-D Printing In Zero-G), led out of NASAsMarshall Space Flight Centerin Huntsville, Alabama, provided a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award toMade In Space Inc.to build the first 3-D printer for operation in microgravity. It is scheduled to launch to the station aboard the SpaceX-4 resupply mission.
The project is supported by three NASA customers: the International Space Station Technology Development Office at the agency'sJohnson Space Center in Houston; theAdvanced Exploration Systemsdivision within the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington; and theGame Changing Development Programwithin the Space Technology Mission Directorate, also at NASA Headquarters.
Researchers hope to show a 3-D printer can work normally in space and produce parts equitable to those printed on the ground. It works by extruding heated plastic, which then builds layer upon layer to create three-dimensional objects. Testing this on the station is the first step toward creating a working "machine shop" in space. This capability may decrease cost and risk on the station, will be critical when space explorers venture far from Earth and will create an on-demand supply chain for needed tools and parts.
If the printer is successful, it will not only serve as the first demonstration of additive manufacturing in microgravity, but it also will bring NASA and Made In Space a big step closer to evolving in-space manufacturing for future missions to destinations such as an asteroid and Mars.
Long-term missions would benefit greatly from onboard manufacturing capabilities. Data and experience gathered in this demonstration will improve future 3-D manufacturing technology and equipment for the space program, allowing a greater degree of autonomy and flexibility for astronauts.
"I remember when the tip broke off a tool during a mission," recallsNASA astronaut TJ Creamer, who flew aboard the space station during Expedition 22/23 from December 2009 to June 2010. "I had to wait for the next shuttle to come up to bring me a new one. Now, rather than wait for a resupply ship to bring me a new tool, in the future, I could just print it."
So, if something breaks, like a wrench for instance, how long will it take to print one? It depends on the size and complexity of the part. Depending on these factors, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to print a part on the station. The computer-aided design model, which serves as the instructions, can be pre-loaded on the printer or uplinked from the ground to the station printer. It requires minimal crew time as it can be operated primarily from ground control at Marshall's Operations Support Center.

The first 3D printer ever to fly in space will blast off this month, and NASA has high hopes for the innovative device's test runs on the International Space Station.
The3D printer, which is scheduled to launch toward the orbiting lab Sept. 19 aboard SpaceX's unmanned Dragon cargo capsule, could help lay the foundation for broader in-space manufacturing capabilities, NASA officials said. The end result could be far less reliance on resupply from Earth, leading to cheaper and more efficient missions to faraway destinations such as Mars.
"The on-demand capability can revolutionize the constrained supply chain model we are limited to today and will be critical for exploration missions," Niki Werkheiser, manager of NASA's "3-D Printing in Zero-G" project at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama,said in a statement. [3D Printing in Space (Photo Gallery)]
3D Printing in Zero-G is a collaboration between NASA and California-based startup Made in Space, which built the machine that's heading to the space station this month. The microwave-size 3D printer was cleared for flight in April after an extensive series of tests at Marshall.
3D printers build objects layer by layer out of metal, plastic, composites and other materials, using a technique called extrusion additive manufacturing. NASA hopes Made in Space's device works normally aboard the station, thus demonstrating that 3D printers can produce high-quality parts in space as well as on Earth.
If that turns out to be the case, replacing a broken part or tool aboard the orbiting lab could be a matter of simply pushing a button.
"I remember when the tip broke off a tool during a mission," said NASA astronaut T.J. Creamer, who lived aboard the space station from December 2009 to June 2010. "I had to wait for the next shuttle to come up to bring me a new one. Now, rather than wait for a resupply ship to bring me a new tool, in the future, I could just print it."
It will likely take the 3D printer from 15 minutes to an hour to print something aboard the space station, depending on the size and complexity of the object, researchers said. Blueprints for desired parts can be loaded onto the machine before launch or beamed up from the ground.
"This means that we could go from having a part designed on the ground to printed in orbit within an hour or two from start to finish," Werkheiser said.
While the space station is the proving ground for this test, NASA officials see great potential for 3D printing beyond low-Earth orbit. For example, deep-space missions could benefit greatly from the technology, because it would be tough to ferry a spare part to a vessel already on its way to an asteroid orMars.
