[AI] A happy independence day!

2009-08-15 Thread Fayaz Pasha
Hi friends!
I wish all of you a very happy independence day today. We look back with
pride our rich history and path to freedom as we today celebrate our
sixty third independence day. I on this day would like to call upon each
one of us to strive to work towards making ourselves independent free
from our challenges of disability and become active partners in nation
building.
Jay hind!

My first question would be are you permitted to share this kind of information? 
Admittedly, several such presentations can be found in the public domain but 
since you are dealing with security, the question remains of authorisation. Do 
remember that this mailing list has a public archive.

[AI] Hereditary Blindness Curable Via Gene Therapy

2009-08-15 Thread shahnaz

Hereditary blindness curable via gene therapy
ANI 13 August 2009, 12:47pm IST
WASHINGTON: Three patients, who received gene therapy for an 
inherited form of blindness,
continued having vision improvements even after a year, a new study 
has revealed.
This is the first study to report one-year gene therapy safety and 
efficacy results
in treating young adults with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a 
hereditary condition
that causes severe vision impairment in infants and children. 
Previously, such improvement
in vision after was observed within weeks of undergoing gene therapy.
The three patients - 22, 24 and 25 years old- who received the gene 
therapy, have
a specific type of LCA caused by a genetic mutation in the RPE65 gene.
The gene normally makes a critical protein in the visual cycle. 
Without this RPE65
protein, light-sensitive photoreceptor cells are starved of a 
retina-specific form
of vitamin A and cannot function, blocking vision. For correcting 
this genetic defect,
researchers targeted retinal regions with impaired, but intact, 
photoreceptors and
injected healthy copies of the RPE65 gene under the retina.
One patient was able to read an illuminated clock for the first time, 
and the new
ability was not caused by a further increase in light sensitivity, 
which remained
unchanged from 1 to 12 months after the treatment.
One year after the single injection, the healthy genes continue to 
make this critical
protein, increasing the retina's sensitivity to light. We had 
previously shown that
RPE65 gene therapy can completely reverse
one of the two components of this complex disease and provide 
patients with increased
day and night vision within weeks. We now show that the longevity of 
the visual improvements
extends to at least one year, said
Dr. Artur V. Cideciyan, Research Associate Professor of Ophthalmology 
at the University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the publications.
But the visual improvement was caused by a slow change in the 
direction of focus
to her treated retina. The change appeared 12 months after gene 
therapy, but not
before.
The findings are published in Human Gene Therapy, now online, and in 
the New England
Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Gene Therapy Treatment for Blindness Proves Safe - and Effective - One Year
In.

Three subjects with a rare form of visual impairment found their sight still
better a year after gene therapy, and their immune systems seemed happy with
the
treatment, too

By Katherine Harmon.

Gene therapy has been rhapsodized and vilified in its nearly two decades of
human testing, helping some and making others sicker. But a new 12-month
clinical trial has shown that, at least in one ocular disease, it appears
safe
and-perhaps even more impressive-effective.

The research, part of a phase I clinical trial to test the safety of the
treatment, was published as a letter to the editor in The New England
Journal of
Medicine earlier this week and will be in the September issue of Human Gene
Therapy. (The paper was co-authored by about a dozen researchers, two of
whom
own equity in a company that could profit from a commercialized version of
this
procedure.)

The researchers report that three young adults with severe vision impairment
from a hereditary disease maintained improved eyesight a year after gene
therapy
was administered-and didn't suffer any health side effects in the meantime.
Gene
therapy, which often employs viruses to deliver the good genes to a body's
target cells, has been known to trigger severe immune responses and was
blamed
for the death of an 18-year-old in 1999, who was receiving gene therapy for
a
hereditary metabolic disorder.

The test subjects suffer from Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a form of
hereditary retinal degeneration that occurs in infants and young children
and is
relatively rare. Most people who have lost vision due to hereditary retinal
degeneration have either no photoreceptors with which to perceive light or
photoreceptors that don't work. This disease has a little bit of both,
explains lead study author Artur Cideciyan, an associate research professor
at
the Scheie Eye Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. It's a complex
disease.

The participants, ages 22 to 25, all had a mutation on the RPE65 gene, the
signature of LCA. Doctors administered normal RPE65 (delivered via an rAAV2
vector) into a site on one of the retinas that had the most photoreceptors
left.
And, Cideciyan says, Within weeks of the procedure there was a substantial,
very significant improvement in sensitivity to see dim lights.

Those in the study weren't entirely blind before the therapy. In fact,
Cideciyan
notes, some of them can read, but by that he means they can see the 'E' at
the
top of a standard vision chart. That does not represent the visual
inability
that they have because they also have a large loss of sensitivity of light.
So
they may be able to read on a high-contrast chart, but they are further
disabled
in less light environments.

What has been more surprising to the researchers is not that the
improvements
have held for the year-that much had already been documented in animal
studies-but that, at least in one of the patients, the therapy helped train
the
eye to see better. It can completely bypass the dysfunction so it can give
as
much vision as there are retained receptors. One patient reported that she
was
newly able, about a year after the treatment, to see the digital clock in
the
family car. Cideciyan attributes that not to continued improvement of the
photoreceptors themselves but to the retraining of the visual system to take
advantage of the treated areas of the retina.

Despite having a checkered past, gene therapy seemed like a promising option
for
many patients with this disease. There were more volunteers than could be
accommodated in this trial, Cideciyan noted.

But the treatment isn't out of the woods yet. The research team will
continue
the study for a full three years, as is required by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for a phase I clinical trial. And the participants will
be
monitored for 15 years for health impacts, as is required by the FDA for any
gene-therapy trials. Following the end of the first trial, there will be two
more-to test the treatment's efficacy-before it can be approved for
commercial
use on the market.

Cideciyan admits that the encouraging results are only for a rare condition,
but
he hopes that with continued research, it will have huge potential for much
more

Other ways are through download managers.
There are several websites for that as well.
Okay now one is:
www.keepvid.com
so there you have to enter the URL and choose download and then choose
FLV or MP4.
and you can download.
but if you use a download manager, just copy the URL and paste it in
the create new download section of the managers.
Actually As I could tell you, when you press enter on free download
manager, it just opens but is minimised, just press alt+space and x to
maximise it.
then you will be able to see the full FDM correctly.

Parents want mercy killing for 4 disabled sons

IANS 11 August 2009, 01:42pm IST

LUCKNOW: A farmer and his wife in Uttar Pradesh have sought President 
Pratibha Patil's permission for the mercy killing of all their four sons 
who

have turned into virtual vegetables.

The four, aged 10 to 16 years, have been afflicted by muscular dystrophy, 
a genetic disease that has confined them to bed.


My sons cannot stand on their feet. They are unable to move their body 
below the neck. I see their distress every day. Now when doctors too have 
lost hope, I want they should die. Death would be the ultimate solution 
for their suffering, farmer Jeet Narayan of Bashi village of Mirzapur 
district, some 300 km from Lucknow, has said in his letter to Patil.


My sons are in utter discomfort. I cannot see their helplessness any 
more. So, we have written to the president that our sons be killed through 
euthanasia, Narayan's wife Prabhavati said over telephone.


Narayan has told his neighbours that he has sold of all his valuables to 
meet the medical expenses of his sons.


Our financial resources have been exhausted. I even sold off the parental 
land. Moreover, I owe nearly Rs 2 lakh to moneylenders, he said.


Prabhavati said muscular dystrophy afflicted her sons when they were five 
years old. She identified them as Durgesh, 16, Sarvesh, 14, Brijesh, 11, 
and Suresh, 10. All four were normal children until then.


The couple now fears their four-year-old daughter may become disabled when 
she turns five.


Till now our daughter is doing fine but we are quite worried about her. 
She might meet the same fate like her brothers after a year or so, said 
Prabhavati.

Folks, what do you have to say on the article pasted below?

Parents want mercy killing for 4 disabled sons

IANS 11 August 2009, 01:42pm IST

LUCKNOW: A farmer and his wife in Uttar Pradesh have sought 
President Pratibha Patil's permission for the mercy killing of all 
their four sons who

have turned into virtual vegetables.

The four, aged 10 to 16 years, have been afflicted by muscular 
dystrophy, a genetic disease that has confined them to bed.


My sons cannot stand on their feet. They are unable to move their 
body below the neck. I see their distress every day. Now when 
doctors too have lost hope, I want they should die. Death would be 
the ultimate solution for their suffering, farmer Jeet Narayan of 
Bashi village of Mirzapur district, some 300 km from Lucknow, has 
said in his letter to Patil.


My sons are in utter discomfort. I cannot see their helplessness 
any more. So, we have written to the president that our sons be 
killed through euthanasia, Narayan's wife Prabhavati said over telephone.


Narayan has told his neighbours that he has sold of all his 
valuables to meet the medical expenses of his sons.


Our financial resources have been exhausted. I even sold off the 
parental land. Moreover, I owe nearly Rs 2 lakh to moneylenders, he said.


Prabhavati said muscular dystrophy afflicted her sons when they 
were five years old. She identified them as Durgesh, 16, Sarvesh, 
14, Brijesh, 11, and Suresh, 10. All four were normal children until then.


The couple now fears their four-year-old daughter may become 
disabled when she turns five.


Till now our daughter is doing fine but we are quite worried about 
her. She might meet the same fate like her brothers after a year or 
so, said Prabhavati.

Hello,

I am getting an error message from this morning on my home pc. The text of 
the message is,  One or more devices are malfunctioning. Try to reconnect 
the device or reinstall it. Two devices are shown: unusuable USB port and 
some unknown device.

I have checked the device manager and disabled the unknown device. There is 
nothing like an unusuable port. The most disturbing thing is that Jaws keeps 
on repeating the error message and I can't do anything.

Please suggest a solution.

Best Regards,

Re: [AI] Hereditary Blindness Curable Via Gene Therapy

2009-08-15 Thread Mohammad Parvesh
Dear Shahnaz,
Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful news regarding gene therapy. I
am having RP. That is also considered as a hereditory disease. I hope,
in future this disease will be curable with the help of gene therapy.

On 8/15/09, shahnaz shycur...@yahoo.co.in wrote:

 Hereditary blindness curable via gene therapy
 ANI 13 August 2009, 12:47pm IST
 WASHINGTON: Three patients, who received gene therapy for an
 inherited form of blindness,
 continued having vision improvements even after a year, a new study
 has revealed.
 This is the first study to report one-year gene therapy safety and
 efficacy results
 in treating young adults with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a
 hereditary condition
 that causes severe vision impairment in infants and children.
 Previously, such improvement
 in vision after was observed within weeks of undergoing gene therapy.
 The three patients - 22, 24 and 25 years old- who received the gene
 therapy, have
 a specific type of LCA caused by a genetic mutation in the RPE65 gene.
 The gene normally makes a critical protein in the visual cycle.
 Without this RPE65
 protein, light-sensitive photoreceptor cells are starved of a
 retina-specific form
 of vitamin A and cannot function, blocking vision. For correcting
 this genetic defect,
 researchers targeted retinal regions with impaired, but intact,
 photoreceptors and
 injected healthy copies of the RPE65 gene under the retina.
 One patient was able to read an illuminated clock for the first time,
 and the new
 ability was not caused by a further increase in light sensitivity,
 which remained
 unchanged from 1 to 12 months after the treatment.
 One year after the single injection, the healthy genes continue to
 make this critical
 protein, increasing the retina's sensitivity to light. We had
 previously shown that
 RPE65 gene therapy can completely reverse
 one of the two components of this complex disease and provide
 patients with increased
 day and night vision within weeks. We now show that the longevity of
 the visual improvements
 extends to at least one year, said
 Dr. Artur V. Cideciyan, Research Associate Professor of Ophthalmology
 at the University
 of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and lead author of the publications.
 But the visual improvement was caused by a slow change in the
 direction of focus
 to her treated retina. The change appeared 12 months after gene
 therapy, but not
 before.
 The findings are published in Human Gene Therapy, now online, and in
 the New England
 Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

[AI] Preventing Flue

2009-08-15 Thread Harish Kotian
Hello all

I am approving this posting, for, it strengthens immunity and a sensible way to 
fight any infection , secondly, the ingrediants are of everyday use.
This thread continues to be closed otherwise and members are requested not to 
make any posting directly on the list on this subject.
Harish Kotian

for your approval harish please:
there is absolutely no need to panic for flu.

Watching television to keep tabs on the progress of H1N1, particularly
in the badly affected areas like Pune, is all right. But don't let the
hysterical
anchors get under your skin and start wearing a mask each time you
step out of the house, unless you are visiting a very crowded area.
Then too, the mask
will protect you only for a specified period.

Without giving in to the swine
flu
 panic and creating a stockpile of Tamiflu and N-95 masks at home and
enriching pharma companies, there are a number of other measures you
can take to ensure
that the virus is not able to get you, irrespective of which part of
the world you are in.

It is essential to remember that all kinds of viruses and bacteria can
attack you when your immune system is weak, or they can weaken it
easily. Hence,
building your own defences would be a better, more practical,
long-lasting and much more economical idea.

Here are some easy steps you can take to tackle a flu virus of any
kind, including swine flu. It is not necessary to follow all the steps
at once. You
can pick and choose a combination of remedies that suit you best.
However, if you are already suffering from flu, these measures can
help only up to an
extent. And, if you have been infected by H1N1, visiting a hospital
and staying in solitary confinement is a must.

1. Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi (known as Basil in English;
medicinal name Ocimum sanctum) everyday in the morning. Tulsi has a
large number of
therapeutic properties. It keeps throat and lungs clear and helps in
infections by way of strengthening your immunity.

2. Giloi (medicinal name Tinospora cordifolia) is a commonly available
plant in many areas. Take a one-foot long branch of giloi, add five to
six leaves
of Tulsi and boil in water for 15-20 minutes or long enough to allow
the water to extract its properties. Add black pepper and sendha (salt
used during
religious fasts), rock or black salt, or Misri (crystalised sugar like
lumps to make it sweet) according to taste. Let it cool a bit and
drink this kadha
(concoction) while still warm. It will work wonders for your immunity.
If giloi plant is not available, get processed giloi powder from
Hamdard or others,
and concoct a similar drink once a day.

3. A small piece of camphor (kapoor) approximately the size of a
tablet should be taken once or twice a month. It can be swallowed with
water by adults
while children can take it along with mashed potatoes or banana
because they will find it difficult to have it without any aides.
Please remember camphor
is not to be taken everyday, but only once each season, or once a month.

4. Those who can take garlic, must have two pods of raw garlic first
thing in the morning. To be swallowed daily with lukewarm water.
Garlic too strengthens
immunity like the earlier measures mentioned.

5. Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm
milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).

6. Aloe vera (gwarpatha) too is a commonly available plant. Its thick
and long, cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel. A teaspoon gel
taken with water
daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains, but
also boost immunity.

7. Take
homeopathic medicines
 - Pyrogenium 200 and Inflenzium 200 in particular - five tablets
three times a day, or two-three drops three times a day. While these
are not specifically
targeted at H1N1 either, these work well as preventive against common
flu virus.

8. Do Pranayam daily (preferably under guidance if you are already not
initiated into it) and go for morning jog/walk regularly to keep your
throat and
lungs in good condition and body in fine fettle. Even in small
measures, it will work wonders for your body's resistance against all
such diseases which
attack the nose, throat and lungs, besides keeping you fit.

9. Have citrus fruits, particularly Vitamin C rich Amla (Indian
gooseberry) juice. Since fresh Amla is not yet available in the market
(not for another
three to four months), it is not a bad idea to buy packaged Amla juice
which is commonly available nowadays.

10. Last but not the least, wash your hands frequently every day with
soap and warm water for 15-20 seconds; especially before meals, or
each time after
touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu
virus such as a door handle or a knob/handle, especially if you have
returned from a
public place or used public transport. Alcohol-based hand cleaners
should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and
warm water.
thought it might be useful if allowed on the
