POR TI Q.

Miércoles 27 de Octubre de 2010 A día de hoy podemos ya afirmar que otros tres niños con PCI van a llevar una vida totalmente normal, en contra de las previsiones que se les habían hecho. No queremos con ello crear falsas expectativas porque no todos los casos son iguales ni las edades son las mismas. Sí podemos decir que cuanto más pronto se actúe más posibilidades hay de que la situación revierta. El margen de edad para la actuación es amplio, en general, quizás hasta la pubertad, aunque depende del grado de afectación. Con ello tratamos de transmitir un poco de calma a todos los que nos llaman impacientes para empezar. A todos les llegará su momento y confiamos en que el resultado sea igual de positivo. http://allforall.org/proyectofoltra.net/2010/10/28/otras-tres-pcis-vencidas/ http://www.proyectofoltra.com/index.php/es/noticias/334-otras-tres-pcis-vencidas

Cerebral Palsy - Autologous Stem Cell Therapy Results (N=116) - XCell-Center Cerebral Palsy - Autologous Stem Cell Therapy Results (N=116) July 2010 116 patients (more than 90 %) returned the completed evaluation form. Clinical improvements (Figure 1) were reported in most patients (66.4%). Improvements mainly included increased motor functioning with decreased spasticity, resulting in improved sitting, standing, walking and posture stability, as well as an improvement in mental functions resulting in better communication. Improvement of speech was mentioned by 28 patients, and a major reduction or even absence of epileptic seizures during the recorded post-treatment period was reported by 11 responders. More than 90% of all the improvements started within 8 weeks after the application of Autologous Stem Cells.

Programa de Neurociência O programa de neurociência da Fundação Champalimaud tem por objectivo investigar as bases neurais do comportamento. Coordenado pelo Doutor Zachary Mainen, o programa contou já em 2010 com 7 grupos de investigação e com um total de 70 investigadores. Missão Nas últimas décadas tem sido feito um esforço substancial para o desenvolvimento das neurociências no mundo inteiro. No entanto, os mecanismos cerebrais que medeiam a maioria dos comportamentos normais e patológicos ainda escapam a nossa compreensão. Os avanços conceptuais e tecnológicos dos últimos anos, e a integração de vários níveis de conhecimento, permitem agora investigar as funções cerebrais e comportamentais de novas formas e possivelmente levar a descobertas fundamentais. Por isso acreditamos que a investigação básica na área da neurociência terá um impacto significativo na compreensão das funções cerebrais, que por sua vez contribuirá para a compreensão e possível tratamento de doenças neurológic...

Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation with Nintendo Wii? The Department of Rehabilitation and Movement Study at UMDNJ-SHRP has recently concluded a study that examined the use of Nintendo Wii in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy patients. Led by Dr. Judith Deutsch, this case study analyzed how a 13-year old male patient responded to use of Wii versus traditional physical therapies. Following 11 rehabilitation sessions over a one-month period, the study found that the patient's visual perception, bodily control and functional mobility had all shown significant signs of improvement. The Future of Rehabilitation for Cerebral Palsy Patients Because this case study only evaluated a single patient for a short amount of time, further research needs to be completed before medical experts can gauge the effectiveness of Wii (or other virtual reality programs) in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy. However, these results are promising, as they indicate the potential for a less expensive alternat...
