Spinal disc transplant ’success’

Spinal disc transplant ‘success’

Doctors in China have carried out the world’s first spinal disc transplants on five patients, a study says.

The discs were placed in the necks of four men and a woman by a University of Hong Kong-led team.

They were taken, with the consent of relatives, from the spines of three young female donors who had died suddenly as a result of trauma.

Five years on, the patients are doing well, with improved mobility and no immune problems, says the Lancet.

The surgeons said refinements of the procedure may provide an alternative to standard therapies.

But they said it would be hard to replicate the technique for spinal discs in the more complex area of the lower back – the most common source of problems.

Removing damaged discs and fusing adjacent vertebrae together is regarded as the “gold standard” treatment.

However, it results in limited movement and may accelerate degeneration elsewhere.

Artificial discs have shown success, but may produce serious complications in the neck region.

Vertebral discs are the spine’s shock absorbers. The flat capsules, about an inch in diameter and a quarter-of-an-inch thick, fit tightly between the bones of the spinal column.

Under stress, a disc’s inner material may swell, pushing through the tough outer membrane onto surrounding nerves and causing pain, which can be excruciating.

In severe cases, a ruptured or torn membrane may result in irreversible damage.

Problems
Disc problems can result from violent injury, or the strain caused by everyday activities and accidents, such as lifting heavy objects the wrong way or slipping on ice. Normal ageing can also lead to disc degeneration.

Transplantation has never been successfully carried out on humans until now.

The discs were removed from the donors within two hours of death and frozen in preservative chemicals before being transferred to the patients.

Professor Keith Luk, who led the team, said: “With further improvements in the areas of graft preservation and surgical techniques, disc transplantation could be indicated in degenerative disc disease.

“But he said to extend the technique to the lower spine, which is more complex, would be a “challenge”.

In an accompanying comment article, doctors Wafa Skalli and Jean Dubousset, from the ENSAM-CNRS research institute in Paris, said the transplants could open a “new dimension” in the treatment of degenerative disc disease.

They added: “Disc transplantation could be an attractive alternative both for fusion and artificial disc replacement… This new approach could be of particular interest for younger patients for whom prevention of adjacent-level degeneration is important.”

Basics of Malaria

Basics of Malaria

Background: Malaria is a very old disease in the world. Charaka, Susrata, Hipocratas, everybody has written about it. In some places it is known as Pali Jara. The word malaria has been derived from the Italian word ‘Mal’ which means Bad and “Aria” which means Air. So it was presumed that malaria occurs due to bad air. Similarly most of the people have wrong conception that due waste water, due to bath in waste/bad water, due to drink unclean/unsafe water it happens.

In 1600 some Missionaries from Spain visited Peru, there they found some people are using bark of a tree to get cure from the fever and this is the first known treatment of malaria. This tree is the CINCHONA. We are preparing Quinine (injection) from it. So the tribals of Peru are the first medicine men for malaria. This plant was planted in India in Nilagiri Hills in the year 1872. In the year 1880 one French Scientist discovered the malaria parasite. But all were not sure from which source this parasite is affecting. One UK scientist Patrick Manson told that it is probably from mosquito the men are getting. All over the world there was researches to know the where about of the parasite. But the credit went to India, where the British Military doctor Ronald Ross, placed at Secunderabad discovered the parasite in the mosquito’s stomach. Since that day it became pretty clear that the mosquito spreads malaria. But his message did not reach the common people till now, as we can control malaria, if we can control mosquito. In 1934 the mostly used chloroquine tablet was invented. Similarly during 2nd World War one German Soldier started the use of DDT to get relief from mosquito. And this was treated as the first preventive method of controlling mosquito.

Malaria was a very big problem in India. After Independence different programs were launched to control as well as to eradicate malaria. These programs are, National Malaria Control Program (NMCP), National Malaria Eradication Program (NMEP), Enhanced Malaria Control Program (EMCP), National Anti Malaria Program (NAMP) and in 2003 National Vector Borne Diseases Control Program (NVBCP). In 1953 there was 750 lakh malaria affected people in India but due to the implementation of NMCP & NMEP it reduced to 50000 only and the govt. thought that it can eradicate malaria. But later on it is learnt that it is impossible to eradicate malaria as each year the numbers of affected people are varying and increasing considerably.

a) What is Malaria: Malaria is one type of fever among different types of fevers, which occurs due to the bite of female anopheles Mosquito. Malaria can be divided into two groups such as Simple and Severe malaria. The symptoms of malaria are;

Simple Malaria: Cold?Hot?Sweating?Break?Cold? Hot?SweatingSome get pain & vomitFeeling weak, Anemia,Enlargement of Spleen.

Severe malaria / complicated malaria: This leads to the following diseases:

Cerebral malaria
Acute Renal Failure
Jaundice
Vomiting and Diarrhea
Dehydration
Circulatory collapse
Severe anemia
Hemoglobinuria – Black water fever
Hypoglycemia
Plumonary Oedema
Hyperparasitaemia
Hyper pyrexia
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation
Associated Bacterial Infections – LRI, UTS

Malaria is a fever caused by a parasite. The parasite is known as plasmodium. There are four types of plasmodium, which can create fever in human being. They are as follows.

1. P.v– Plasmodium Vivax
2. P.f – Plasmodium Facliparum
3. P.m – Plasmodium malaria
4. P.o – Plasmodium Ovale

The first two types are mainly found in India while the P.o is not found in India. In Rayagada and Koraput districts of Orissa there is 96% & 98% P.f cases, respectively. The P.f type causes death while death cannot be caused in P.v cases. The P.v causes the simple malaria only while the P.f can cause both simple and complicated malaria.

What to do when there is Malaria: It is better to go for blood test for malaria cases, if there is facility for blood test. It is told that there is 4 line / level for medicines. But for the field level staff it is wiser to go up to 2nd level, as they do not have essential qualification to go for next levels. In first line it is always better to go for chlorquine tablets. There is risk in injection particularly for children. The first doze must be 4 tablets. WHO prescribes 4+4+2 chlorquine doze (250mg) is ideal for adults.

Chlorquine dosage according to Age/WeightEach tab contains CQ phosphate – 250mg that is equivalent to – 150mg base.

Age group in years Probable weight NO OF TABLETSDay –1 10mg base /kg Day –2 10 mg base / kg Day – 3 5mg base / kg0-1 6 kg ½ ¼ ¼1-4 15 kg 1 1 ½5-8 30 kg 2 2 19-14 45 kg 3 3 11/215 above 60 kg 4 4 2The tablets should be taken after food and a 3 days course is idle. If chloroquine does not work then pyralafin can be given, which is the 2nd line for medicine. It consists of solfa and pyramithimin. Its prescribed dosages are:

Weight Tablets20kg 1 tab40 kg 2 tabs60 kg 3 tabs
If chlorquine does not work within three days then one should go for 2nd line. If a patient does not recovers in 2nd line, its better to refer him/her to the nearest health centre, which is the third line of medicine in malaria program.

Sunbaths may keep people young, safe

Vitamin D obtained from exposure to a healthy dose of sunshine may help people stay young and protect them against heart disease, a study by British scientists has found.

Researchers from King’s College London studied the telomeres of 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79. Telomeres are biological markers of ageing found in Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contains genetic information.

As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible to certain illnesses.

The scientists found that women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres – a sign of being biologically younger and healthier, reported the online edition of the Daily Mail.

About 90 percent of the body’s supply of vitamin D can be obtained from sunshine. However, a small amount of the vitamin can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.
