| Spinal-cord repair cells identified | | 2008-07-22 22:47:04 | | A researcher at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has pinpointed stem cells within the spinal cord that, if persuaded to differentiate into more healing cells and fewer scarring cells following an injury, may lead to a new, non-surgical treatment for debilitating spinal-cord injuries.

The spine also protects spinal cord from injury. Those who faced spinal stenosis means their spine has narrowed at one or more sections which are the spine middle space, nerve route branching out from the spine or at nerve between vertebra at the spine.Spinal stenosis is a common problem faced by people of 50 and above age.

| | Spinal Muscular Atrophy Legislation to be Introduced in Congress | | 2007-07-13 17:14:30 | | Spinal muscular atrophy legislation, “The SMA Treatment Acceleration Act”, will soon be introduced in both the U.S House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
What is spinal muscular atrophy?
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive (meaning the disorder is inherited by receiving one gene from both mother and father) neuromuscluar disorder that affects motor neurons of the spinal cord and brainstem. Motor neurons are responsible for supplying electrical and chemical messages to muscle cells. Without proper input from motor neurons, muscle cells don’t function properly and become much smaller (atrophy), producing symptoms of muscle weakness and affecting the ability to swallow, breath and move limbs.
SMA kills more babies than any other genetic disease and it is estimated that it occurs in between 1:6,000 and 1:20,000 births annually. Approximately 1:40 to 1:50 people are carriers of this genetic disease (1).

| | | Spinal Stenosis & Mattress | | 2007-06-01 19:47:27 | | Spinal stenosis ails those who are already aging. And other than the proper medical advice one should receive when experiencing this, there are other things you can do to help make yourself comfortable, that is according to Ivillage’s Health Section. Your choice of mattress is one factor.
Good posture and ergonomics can relieve the pressure on the back. When standing, maintain the pelvis in a neutral position. When lifting heavy objects, bend at the knees and hips and keep the back straight. Hold objects close to the body while carrying them.
When sitting, choose a seat with good lower back support, arm rests and a swivel base. A rolled-up towel or pillow in the small of the back can help maintain the spine’s normal curve. Keep knees and hips level. Also, sleep on a medium-firm mattress. Recent studies indicate that sleeping on such a mattress is better for the back than sleeping on a firm mattress. Pillows can also offer good support, but only if they do not force the neck up | | By: Mattresszine | | |
