The findings of two new studies link a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes to a high consumption of fruit, vegetables and hearty whole grains.

The studies, recently published in The BMJ according to Science Daily,suggest that even a modest increase in consumption of these foods as part of a healthy diet could help prevent type 2 diabetes.

For the first study, researchers looked atthe association between blood levels of vitamin C and carotenoids, pigments found in colourful fruits and vegetables, with risk of developing type 2 diabetes. After studying9,754 adults who developed new-onset type 2 diabetes and a comparison group of 13,662 adults who remained free of diabetes, researchers foundthat every 66 grams per day increase in total fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a 25% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

In the second study, researchers in the United States examined associations between total and individual whole grain food intake and type 2 diabetes. After examining 158,259 women and 36,525 men who were free from diabetes, heart disease and cancer, they found thatparticipants in the highest category for total whole grain consumption had a 29% lower rate of type 2 diabetes compared with those in the lowest category.

Both research teams cite their findings as further evidence that adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can lead to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Diets high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains linked to decreased risk of diabetes - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Individuals living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D, respectively) are at greater risk of bone fractures, according to a systematic review update published in Bone.

Diabetes is a major public health concern as 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by the disease in 2016. Fractures, meanwhile, also pose concern as up to 20% of patients die in the first year after a hip fracture and less than half regain their previous level of function. Individuals with diabetes also have a higher mortality after a hip fracture compared with people without diabetes, the authors wrote.

Diabetes can cause a number of well-known complications including kidney problems, loss of eyesight, problems with your feet and nerve damage, said Tatiane Vilaca, MD, an author of the study. However, until now many people with diabetes and their doctors are unaware that they are also at greater risk of bone fractures.

Researchers searched databases such as Medline, Embase, and Cochrane for observational studies with age and gender-adjusted risk of fractures in adults with diabetes compared with adults without diabetes, published through March 25, 2020.

A total of 48 studies met inclusion criteria and 2 separate meta-analyses were created: 1 for hip fractures (including 42 studies) and 1 for non-vertebral fractures (including 17 studies). Any studies that overlapped were included if they reported different aspects of the same population, so as to be included in subgroup analyses.

In total, the studies in the hip fracture analysis reported data from 17,571,738 participants with 319,652 fractures, while the studies in the non-vertebral fracture review reported data from 2,978,487 participants with 181,228 fracture.

The analyses revealed:

However, there is currently no specific treatment for bone fragility in diabetes, and the skeleton is not widely recognized as a site for diabetes complications, authors wrote.

We hope that by raising awareness about the greater risk people with diabetes face, bone density and bone strength will become something that doctors assess routinely in patients with the condition in the same way they do currently for other well-known complications, said Richard Eastell, MD, a co-author of the study.

What Is the Association Between Bone Fractures and Diabetes? - AJMC.com Managed Markets Network

Obesity is a leading cause of diabetes and heart disease. What you eat and when you eat can have a major impact on the development of many chronic diseases. Of course, lifestyle habits and lack of exercise also contributes to this. But till now, protein, especially whey protein, was seen as a safe food to have if you have diabetes. But now, researchers say that this may not be the case. Also Read - High blood sugar: A cold climate, genetics, pollution may increase your risk of diabetes

According to a new study from the University of Basel in Switzerland, consuming protein at night increases the blood sugar level in the morning for healthy people, leading to health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Previous research has shown that a snack a few hours before a meal can help control blood sugar levels, which may partly explain why the first thing we eat each day (i.e. breakfast) tends to increase blood sugar more than other later meals. The study was presented this week at the Physiological Societys virtual early career conference called Future Physiology 2020. Also Read - Want to bring down your risk of cardiovascular disease? Have 3 to 6 eggs a week, says research

This study investigated whether waking up at night to consume some protein might keep blood sugar lower the next morning. Surprisingly, the blood sugar response to breakfast was higher when participants had consumed protein rather than plain water at 4 a.m. These unexpected findings may be informative for people trying to improve their control of blood sugar levels, the researchers said. Also Read - Type 1 diabetes is not the same as type 2: Know how to tell the difference

For the purpose of the study, the research team studied 15 healthy young men and women (8 females and 7 males). The participants were woken up at 4 a.m. to drink 300 ml of a water solution, either with or without 63 grams of whey protein. They then went back to sleep, and at 9 a.m. were provided with a standard amount of porridge for breakfast, with blood samples collected for 2 hours afterwards to check the blood glucose response.

According to the study, one explanation for the result is that the body does not expect or need much food to be consumed during the night and so the protein itself was turned into sugar. This may result in the body having more carbohydrates already available upon waking such that the energy in the breakfast can less easily be used or stored, so it builds up more in the blood. It also leads to obesity, which, in turn, may increase your risk of heart disease. According to the researchers of this study, future research will look at whether this applies to older and overweight people who tend to have more problems controlling their blood sugar levels. They also add that it would be interesting to know to what extent the findings are due to eating at an unusual time or the type of protein consumed.

It causes headaches, dizziness, muscle aches, stomach pain and other symptoms along with classic respiratory symptoms like coughing and fever."Physicians need to think of COVID-19 as a multisystem disease," said Dr. Aakriti Gupta, a cardiology fellow at Columbia who worked on the review, in a statement. "There's a lot of news about clotting but it's also important to understand that a substantial proportion of these patients suffer kidney, heart, and brain damage, and physicians need to treat those conditions along with the respiratory disease."Much of the damage wrought by the virus appears to come because of its affinity for a receptor a kind of molecular doorway into cells called ACE2.

Part of that response includes the production of inflammatory proteins called cytokines. This inflammation can damage cells and organs and the so-called cytokine storm is one of the causes of severe symptoms."This virus is unusual and it's hard not to take a step back and not be impressed by how many manifestations it has on the human body," Dr. Mahesh Madhavan, another cardiology fellow who worked on the review, said in a statement.Blood clotting effects appear to be caused by several different mechanisms: direct damage of the cells lining the blood vessels and interference with the various clotting mechanisms in the blood itself.

How coronavirus affects the entire body - WXII The Triad

Police in Ontario shot 62-year-old Ejaz Choudry in his home. In New Brunswick, they shot Chantel Moore in her home and Rodney Levi at a friends barbecue. Prior to that, Regis Korchinski-Paquet fell from her balcony in Toronto while police were in her apartment. All four have died in the last six weeks; police called not because they committed crimes, but to check on their well-being.

Amid national and international reckonings over racism and police brutality, there have been widespread calls to use mental health practitioners not cops in moments of crisis. But while mental health is just one aspect of overall health (albeit a very important one), Canadian health care is not immune to the systemic racism impacting the countrys police forces.

Story continues below advertisement

Experts say thats evident in a myriad of ways, from the coronavirus pandemics disproportionate impact on Indigenous people and Black people to other, non-COVID-19 headlines.

In Alberta, the minister of health recently ordered an independent investigation into the health authoritys handling of a noose taped to an operating room at the Grande Prairie Hospital in 2016. In B.C., the province is looking into allegations that some staff have been engaging in a racist game of whats-the-blood-alcohol-level of the (primarily) Indigenous patients who come to them seeking care.

But where defunding the police is an option, defunding health care is decidedly not. Nor, says Dr. Suzanne Shoush, does adding more Black, Indigenous and other racialized health-care providers solve the problem on its own you have to change the system.

Story continues below advertisement

Like policing, health cares racism problem is systemic, says Shoush, who is a Black Indigenous doctor of Sudanese and Coast Salish heritage and the Indigenous health faculty lead for the University of Torontos family and community medicine department. Much like policing, she says, tackling it will require facing up to some uncomfortable truths.

It really all has to do with the blindness of privilege. People who have privilege are really, really blind to the fact privilege plays a role in where they are today.

Start with thesocial determinants of health: key factors that contribute to how healthy you, as an individual, are, as well as the group of people living around you.

Some you can control (to a degree), others you cannot: income and social status, employment and working conditions, education and literacy, childhood experiences, physical environments, access to health services, biology and genetic endowment, gender, culture, race and racism, and historical trauma.

These factors merge together, making Indigenous people amongthe highest-risk groups for diabetes and complications from diabetes, over-represented in HIV infection cases, tuberculosis cases and sexually transmitted infections, with a stroke rate nearly twice as high as non-Indigenous Canadians and a suicide rate among First Nations youth five to seven times higher than their non-Indigenous peers.

Story continues below advertisement

For Black people in Canada, the data is harder to come by (a factor experts sayserves to worsen Black health). Buta research review from the Wellesley Institute, a non-profit that seeks to improve health equity in the Greater Toronto Area, indicates Black peoples health is harmed in part because they live in a racist environment. Much like Indigenous people, any racism experienced during their interactions with the system impacts their access to future care.

Furthermore, statistics compiled by the Black Health Alliance reveal that Black people make up 18 per cent of Canadians living in poverty even though they only represent less than three per cent of the total population. In Ontario, the risk of psychosis for people of Caribbean, East African and West African origin is 60 per cent higher than for others. And the likelihood that breast cancer kills Black women is 43 per cent higher than for white women.

Epidemiologist Nancy Kriegerboils it down to six pathways through which racism harms a persons health, including economic and social deprivation, socially inflicted trauma, inadequate or degrading medical care, and ecosystem degradation and alienation from the land the latter a recurring theme in reports like theRoyal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and theNational Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Story continues below advertisement

When you are displaced, you are not healthy, says Shoush, who recently wrote about how Canada was founded without the consent of Indigenous and Black people.

When we have a society that reflects and was founded in a non-consensual relationship, its very displacing, and this is why we see huge disparities in wellness, in health, chronic disease, life expectancy, child poverty.

Where some Indigenous people in Toronto will not consider going to the doctor, they might consider chatting with Cheryllee Bourgeois. They see her, after all, with her three children out in the community, at a powwow, at Thursday night socials at the Native Centre.

Trending Stories

Bourgeois is an exemption Mtis midwife working with Seventh Generation Midwives Toronto, as well as a professor in Ryerson Universitys midwifery education program. She became the citys first exemption midwife in 2018, following in the well-trodden footsteps of exemption midwives in Six Nations in southern Ontario.

Working under the exemption allows registered midwives (Bourgeois was one for more than a decade) to provide a broader scope of care to their clients to do Pap tests, address sexual and reproductive health and provide other health care not confined to pregnancy and the first six weeks of a babys life.

Story continues below advertisement

The job itself is a tacit reminder of systemic racism in health care and recognition that increasing Indigenous access to health care involves community accountability and acknowledging Canadian history.

The health-care system was a very critical, key piece of the whole colonial history of the subjugation of Indigenous people, Bourgeois says.

There were such things as Indian hospitals where you were provided substandard care and where you were not allowed to go to the mainstream hospital.

Even now, it doesnt matter if Indigenous people give birth in rural, remote or urban settings in Canada, she says, their outcomes remain the same.

So that leads to something deeper, which is this very pervasive and strong systemic racism that exists within the system, affecting health outcomes, she says. In other words, its good to look at improving access, but if thats the sole focus of change then it doesnt actually solve the problem.

But Bourgeois patients grow by word of mouth, so-and-so telling their aunt or brother or cousin or friend youll be treated well there.

When the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic struck Canada this spring, Bourgeois and Shoush started Call Auntie, an information hotline for Indigenous people to ask their COVID-19 questions. In only a few short months, its morphed into something more.

Story continues below advertisement

Its a form of accountability, Bourgeois says health-care workers can call ahead to certain testing centres to let them know an Indigenous person is incoming, a warm referral. Some people also ask about how to apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefitor how they can get food delivered to their house because they have a compromised immune system.

Sometimes, Bourgeois says, people just want to talk through their concerns with a supportive listener. It isnt always about COVID-19. People call to say theyre living on the street Black people and Indigenous people are over-represented in Torontos homeless population and theyre scared of going to a shelter, so what can they do?

Its low stakes, Bourgeois says, because nothing they ask will get them put on a list of trouble clients.

They want to keep the line going after the pandemic.

For the Indigenous community, there is literally I dont want to say zero but really, theres zero trust in the health-care system that theyre actually going to be able to give them what they need, Bourgeois says.

Story continues below advertisement

In pain? Labelled as drug seeking. Having a trauma response to something? Youre non-compliant. Treated badly so you dont go to your next appointment? Youre kicked out of care.

Its about so much more than extra funding, she says, because the current funding models dont take into account that need for community accountability the need for health-care providers like Bourgeois, who deliver babies, give people birth control shots, answer the questions people are scared to ask and then bring their children to Thursday night socials.

When health care your whole life has basically worked against you, youre going to do everything in your power to avoid it, she says.

Youre really not going to do anything if you dont change the system If you actually want to see a change in outcomes or a change in people engaging, you need to build trust.

Its important to remember that equitable access is not the same as equitable outcomes, says Kwame McKenzie, CEO of the Wellesley Institute, but he thinks people spend a lot of time thinking about the former rather than the latter.

Story continues below advertisement

Whatd he like people to think about is: if everybody gets the same service, is the outcome the same? And is giving everybody the same service a reasonable thing to do?

Take something simple like treating high blood pressure, McKenzie says. One size does not fit all because the commonly used drugs do not work well for people of Caribbean and African origin. In other words, he says, equal access might be the same drug for everyone but it wont translate into equal outcomes.

Outcomes can be not as good because the intervention is the wrong intervention and you need a completely different intervention for different groups, he says.

You need a system that interacts with the social determinants of health because both your risk of illness and chance of getting better are very linked to who you are, how you live, what your income is.

More than a decade before health-care workers in British Columbia allegedly made a game out of guessing the blood alcohol levels of (predominantly) Indigenous people seeking care, Brian Sinclair wasignored to death in a Winnipeg ER in September 2008 presumed to be another drunken Indian rather than a 45-year-old with a severe bladder infection.

Sinclair was not ill but simply sleeping or intoxicated. This assumption, made and remade over and over in the 34 hours while Sinclair sickened and died in a hospital ER, is a striking and painful example of one of the structures of indifference that cost Brian Sinclair his life, as it has cost the lives of other Indigenous people in Canadian cities, wrote Mary Jane Logan McCallum and Adele Perry in their book Structures of Indifference: An Indigenous life and death in a Canadian City.

It isnt that people dont recognize when things are problematic, Shoush says they do, and that realization isnt new. She thinks here of the Jane Elliott clip thats been circulating on social media.

In it, Elliott, a diversity educator, asks a room full of white people in the 1960s to please stand if theyd like to be treated the way Black people are treated. Nobody stands. She asks again. Nobody stands.

Then, she tells the room, That says very plainly that you know whats happening, you know you dont want it for you. I want to know why youre so willing to accept it or to allow it to happen for others.

Decades later, Shoush says more people are starting to understand how the structure of systems be it child apprehension, policing, incarceration or health care impacts individual outcomes, but more is needed.

Story continues below advertisement

We understand that there are deep, deep injustices in our culture, in our society, but we always say that they should somehow pull themselves up, we should pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, not realizing that some people have been resourced from birth, she says.

That myth of individualism has to be shattered across every aspect of our society.

Heart failure impacts between three to four per cent of the general population. While commonly related to heart attacks it can also be due to a condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease characterized by an enlarged and weak heart muscle that cant efficiently pump blood.

An international, multi-centre study led by Dr. James White, MD, a clinician and researcher at the University of Calgarys Cumming School of Medicine (CSM), has revealed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to predict major cardiac events for people diagnosed with DCM.

Whites study, published in Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging, confirms about 40 per cent of patients with DCM have scarring patterns on their heart muscle which can be seen with MRI. These patterns are associated with higher risk of future heart failure admissions, life-threatening heart rhythms and death.

The study, which was the largest ever conducted using MRI in patients with DCM, also shows that cardiac MRI can play an important role in guiding the care of individual patients with heart failure, an approach called personalized medicine. The results of this study could lead to trials looking at how patients at higher risk may benefit from more intensive treatments. White says that treating patients with DCM is challenging because there is a lack of understanding into what causes the disease and why patients respond differently to the available treatments.

We have tended to think of dilated cardiomyopathy as one type of heart disease and that all patients should respond the same way, but we are learning that it is a collection of disease states that affect each patient differently, says White, explaining those that dont respond well to treatments are more prone to cardiac arrest, which kills about 35,000 Canadians annually.

The purpose of our study was to see if we could find individual patient features that can help us prescribe life-saving therapies, such as the ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator).

White and his team assembled the MINICOR (Multimodal International Cardiovascular Outcomes Registry) group, which involves 12 centres from Canada, the United States, Spain and Italy, to provide researchers access to highly standardized data collected from patients around the world with the goal of promoting personalized care for patients with cardiovascular disease.

We can have a much greater impact on patient care and on clinical practice in general when we work together, says White The true benefit of initiatives like this is our ability to test innovative ideas quickly and show they can work in different health-care systems and patient populations. This is the unique power of multi-national collaborations.

White and his team of data scientists and students are currently tracking the health of more than 10,000 Albertans who have undergone cardiac MRI.With this data they are developing new approaches to deliver personalized risk prediction models for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Libin Institute director Dr. Paul Fedak, MD, PhD, is excited about the potential of this project and its alignment with the institutes aim to lead in the area of precision cardiovascular medicine.

These are important steps towards personalizing care decisions for individual patients, says Fedak. We are constantly being reminded that the more we know about each patient and their own disease, the better we can make decisions to improve their health.

James Whiteis a professor in the departments of Cardiac Sciences, Radiology and Medicine and a member of the Libin Cardiovascular Institute at the Cumming School of Medicine.

James White led an international study on heart failure. Here, he stands in front of the cardiac MRI machine in the Stephenson Cardiac Imaging Centre.

Companion Diagnostics Market Insights on Scope the COVID-19 - 3rd Watch News

This year has truly been a tale of two markets. For a five-week period in the first quarter, downside momentum in the stock market tied to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was unlike anything we'd ever seen before. But over the past 3.5 months, Wall Street has undertaken its strongest rally in more than two decades.

If 2020 has taught investors anything, it's the power of long-term investing and sticking with your initial investment thesis, even if some pretty big hiccups present themselves.

It's also taught investors that you don't need to be rich to become rich in the stock market. If you have $5,000 in cash at your disposal that won't be needed to pay bills or for emergencies, then you have more than enough capital to put to work in some of the fastest-growing industries in the new bull market. Here are five industries you'd be smart to consider buying into right now with $5,000.

If these industries were being presented in any particular order (which they aren't), cloud computing would likely be at the top of the list. Even before COVID-19 became a serious concern, we were already witnessing a steady transition toward remote and shared-work capabilities. COVID-19 simply provided a shot in the arm to facilitate this transformation even faster. In my mind, there's little question that cloud growth should consistently remain in the double-digits on an annual basis throughout this decade.

While there are no shortage of cloud service companies to choose from, e-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) might be the preferred stock to own. Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates as an infrastructure-as-a-service player, which is a fancy way of saying that it supplies small and medium-sized businesses with the tools necessary to form the building blocks of their cloud-based platform. In just a five-quarter stretch, AWS has grown from 11% of Amazon's total sales to 13.5% of total sales, while accounting for the lion's share of its operating income during the first quarter.

Make no mistake about it, high-margin cloud sales are going to generate insane amounts of cash flow for Amazon and other cloud-service providers.

If there's such a thing as a no-brainer industry to buy, it's cybersecurity. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. and global economy are performing, hackers don't take time off. This makes the hardware and subscription protection services provided by cybersecurity companies an absolute necessity. And with more businesses pushing into the cloud than ever before, there's a growing need for more sophisticated security solutions.

Here, I continue to be a fan of what Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW) is doing. In recent quarters, Palo Alto has deemphasized physical firewall products in favor of higher-margin subscription and support services. This will lead to more consistent revenue recognition and should help reduce what little client churn the company is contending with. And yes, it'll help improve operating margins over the long run, too.

Palo Alto has also diversified its product offerings through numerous bolt-on acquisitions. Look for the company to continue spending aggressively on innovation and inorganic growth to improve its cloud-protection market share.

The cannabis industry gets a bit of a bad rap given that the bubble finally burst in pot stocks over the past 15 months. Supply issues to our north, high tax rates in select U.S. markets, and financing concerns throughout North America have coerced caution from investors.

But this is still an industry where tens of billions of dollars in sales are conducted annually in the black market. It's expected that these illicit channels will gradually give way to legal sales over time and offer the North American marijuana industry a double-digit growth opportunity throughout much of the 2020s.

An intriguing name to consider here is Green Thumb Industries (OTC:GTBI.F). Green Thumb is a multistate operator with 48 open dispensaries and licenses to open as many as 96 stores in a dozen states. Green Thumb is currently generating about two-thirds of its revenue from higher-margin derivatives, rather than dried cannabis flower, which is a big reason it looks to be on the cusp of recurring profitability.

Furthermore, Green Thumb has established a significant presence in Illinois, which opened its doors to recreational weed sales on Jan. 1, 2020, as well as Nevada, which has the potential to lead the nation in cannabis spending per-capita by mid-decade.

Another industry that looks set to come into its own is the Internet of Things (IoT). By IoT, I'm talking about wireless devices that can communicate with other wireless devices, as well as data centers. Like marijuana, IoT was hyped up too quickly in the 2010s, but has now had time to mature. This growing focus on technology making our lives easier is bound to have a positive impact on IoT companies for years to come.

The name to watch here is NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI), which generated almost half of its revenue last year from the automotive industry, with industrial equipment, communications, and mobile comprising the remainder of sales in 2019. In particular, NXP is a leader in self-driving and sensor equipment used in a number of newer automobiles. Between 2018 and 2021, NXP expects to have delivered a compound annual growth rate of 7% to 10% (this includes 2021 as an estimate), which is outpacing the CAGR for the IoT auto market of 5% to 7% over this same time frame.

Additionally, don't overlook other growth drivers for NXP, such as mobile payment adoption, the rollout of 5G networks, and its scalability in industrial processing applications.

Last, but not least, don't forget about the personalized medicine push. Anything that caters to individual patient needs, especially during a pandemic, is likely to see demand improve significantly over the long run.

As a perfect example, take a closer look at Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC), which provides telemedicine visits for patients. Not only are these virtual visits critical during the pandemic to ensure that sick people remain in their homes, but it's a considerably more convenient method of arranging a consultation with a physician. It also doesn't hurt that telemedicine visits tend to be cheaper for insurance providers.

During the pandemic-impacted first quarter, Teladoc reported an absurd 92% uptick in virtual visits, with its paying membership increasing by 61% to 43 million people in the United States. Visit-fee-only access increased by a whopping 89%, as well. Though there's little question that Teladoc Health will continue to lose money in the near-term as it enhances its platform and makes complementary acquisitions, it clearly has the tools necessary to become a major player in personalized health over the next decade.

Spanish researchers have seen that a fat stem cell therapy improves the prognosis in patients with Covid-19. The research, which has just been published in ClinicalMedicine, magazine that belongs to the group The Lancet, shows that a cell therapy with stem cells from adipose tissue for the treatment of critically ill patients covid-19, which has been applied through a compassionate use program, reduces 75% of treated patients inflammation and increases the activity of your immune system.

The patients included in this study have been treated in four Spanish centers: Fundacin Jimnez Daz, the Clnica Universidad de Navarra, the Hospital Universitario de Salamanca and the Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Maran.

Research has evaluated the tolerability and safety of administration to patients of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells, known as multipotent cells, can differentiate into various cell types while maintaining a high capacity for renewal.

Those coming from adipose tissue cells (adipocytes) They have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, are easily accessible and have a great capacity to expand also in the laboratory over long periods of time without losing their characteristics.

Advanced mesenchymal stem cell therapy is already approved for some inflammatory diseases. In turn, there is preclinical evidence that intravenous administration of this cell therapy in models of respiratory infection caused by viruses reduces lung damage. For this reason, together with the fact of the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of lung damage associated with SARS-CoV-2, we think that this therapy could be a beneficial alternative for severe covid-19 patients , points out the Felipe Prosper, senior researcher at Up.

The research presents the results of a study in which cells have been treated for the first time mother mesenquimales Covid-19 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. In our Cell Production units we have been able to store these stem cells and have them available to administer to the 13 patients participating in the study.

They were all in critical condition and they had previously received treatment with antivirals and anti-inflammatories, a therapeutic protocol that is currently being used to combat the disease, he explains. Francisco Fernndez-Avils, of the Gregorio Maran General University Hospital.

Patients received between one and three doses of these cells from healthy donors. Two weeks after the first dose, nine patients improved their clinical condition and seven were already extubated and out of the ICU. In no case did we observe any adverse effects related to treatment , confirms Fermn Snchez-Guijo, of the University Hospital of Salamanca and of Institute of Biomedical Research of Salamanca (IBSAL), and first signatory of the published work.

In this preliminary series of cases, the researchers observed a general improvement of ventilation, radiological and biological parameters of patients associated with this cell therapy. According to the experts, the results obtained in this study represent the basis for further progress in order to demonstrate whether this treatment is really effective in patients with covid-19 pneumonia.

The therapy already has the approval of the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) to carry out the phase 2 clinical trial whose objective will be to demonstrate the efficacy of the treatment against standard therapy.

This work is the first published study that includes a series of patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia treated with this cell therapy. Currently, multiple studies have been started with stem cells in patients with covid-19 pneumonia, both in Spain and in other countries of the world, in which the use of various sources of stem cells such as bone marrow, fat, or placenta .

We are convinced that our results are particularly relevant as they support the performance of these studies, says the doctor. Damin Garca Olmo, from Jimnez Daz Foundation.

Autologous fat grafting and adipose-derived stem cells are two distinct entities with two different risk profiles, and should be regulated as such. Autologous fat grafting prepared with the additional step of stromal vascular fraction isolation is considered a form of "stem cell therapy" given the high concentration of stem cells found in stromal vascular fraction. Much ambiguity existed in the distinction between autologous fat grafting and stromal vascular fraction initially, in terms of both their biological properties and how they should be regulated. The market has capitalized on this in the past decade to sell unproven "stem cell" therapies to unknowing consumers while exploiting the regulatory liberties of traditional fat grafting. This led to a Draft Guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2014 proposing stricter regulations on fat grafting in general, which in turn elicited a response from plastic surgeons, who have safely used autologous fat grafting in the clinical setting for over a century. After a series of discussions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released its Final Guidance in November of 2017, which established clear distinctions between autologous fat grafting and stromal vascular fraction and their separate regulations. By educating ourselves on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's final stance on fat grafting and stem cell therapy, we can learn how to navigate the regulatory waters for the two entities and implement their clinical use in a responsible and informed manner.

Making Sense of Stem Cells and Fat Grafting in Plastic ...

Georgetown, Kentucky, July 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ecofibre Limited (Ecofibre, Company) (ASX:EOF, OTC-NASDAQ Intl Designation: EOFBF) is pleased to announce that the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research1 (LIMR) has begun patient enrollment in a Phase II clinical trial using Ananda Health hemp-derived CBD.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) product, Ananda Health Spectrum gelcaps, on the severity and duration of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) among breast, colon, and ovarian cancer patients who received common types of neurotoxic chemotherapy.

Ecofibre and Ananda demonstrate their commitment to advancing the science of CBD with the launch of the Coala-T-CBD study2 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04398446). The phase II clinical trial began enrolling patients at LIMR in June.

The debilitating condition, CIPN, is often chronic, compromising patients quality of life and limiting their ability to complete a full course of potentially life-saving treatments. Currently, there are no safe and effective medications to treat or prevent CIPN, but research in animals using CBD offers hope as a new treatment.

The Coala-T-CBD StudyTMis the first clinical trial positioned to translate this success to humans and is led by oncologist Dr. Marisa Weiss, the founder and chief medical officer of http://www.Breastcancer.org and Director of Breast Radiation Oncology and Breast Health Outreach at Lankenau Medical Center.

We are proud to be the first in the United States to study the impact of hemp-derived full spectrum CBD on CIPN, a condition that affects approximately 25-50% of pediatric and adult cancer patients undergoing neurotoxic chemotherapy, Weiss states. Among other milestones, the Coala-T-CBD StudyTMreceived an IND (investigational new drug) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will use Ananda softgels in the study protocol.

To our knowledge, this is the first phase II clinical trial using full-spectrum hemp extract for the treatment of CIPN to receive an FDA IND. This level of research is necessary to answer the global call from the medical community, patients, and regulatory bodies seeking effective treatment of this difficult, common chemotherapy side effect, says Weiss. The IND allows for Weiss team to conduct the highest-quality research using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Ananda Health Research Portfolio

The FDA has publicly requested data on hemp-derived CBD regarding tolerability, drug interactions, toxicity, and dosing. Ecofibre responded early by investing an additional USD $1.8 million in research across several studies.

In 2019, the company published a peer-reviewed study3regarding the effects of low-dose CBD in chronic pain patients. The results demonstrated that low-dose CBD was well tolerated and improved pain, sleep, mood and opioid use.

The Coala-T-CBD StudyTMcontributes to Ecofibres growing clinical research portfolio of CBD use across age groups, populations, disease states, and doses. Importantly, the Coala-T-CBD StudyTMwill offer critical insights on the use of higher-dose CBD.

Ecofibres second phase II clinical trial4(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04436081) will evaluate moderate-dose CBD on agitation, sleep and mood in dementia patients. The moderate-dose study is currently pursuing its own FDA IND and expects patient enrollment in August.

Both the Coala-T-CBD StudyTMand the dementia study include comprehensive physician and laboratory analyses to determine the safety of moderate and higher-dose CBD.

In addition to its clinical trials in the U.S., Ecofibre will be supporting research on low-dose full spectrum CBD later this year in Australia.

Alex Capano, Ecofibres Chief Science Officer states, These studies will provide solutions for patients and contribute valuable data on the safety and efficacy of hemp CBD products. We understand the critical need for more sophisticated, rigorous research and are dedicated to closing those gaps.

Ecofibre CEO, Eric Wang adds, A core foundation for Ananda Health has been to support quality research for patient and practitioner education. Whilst the recent pandemic has created market uncertainty, the Company remains highly committed to its long-term investment to support our customers and the FDA in creating the knowledge base to inform better decisions for our industry.

We are pleased to work with such a high-quality group of researchers and physicians at LIMR. The Coala-T-CBD StudyTMwill provide ongoing updates and anticipates completion in 2022.

Sohankumar Motwani knows how its like to live with impaired vision.He was born premature and blind on his right eye.Despite his decreased ability to see, he developed an interest in technology when he first held a computer in second grade at Don Bosco Makati.What caught my attention back then was the fact that it wasnt just about playing games. Computers allowed you do so much morelearn, customize, and create, said Sohan.By this time, his dream was to pursue a Computer Science degree in college.However, at age 15, the vision on his left eye started to blur. The doctor said it was all because I was born premature, he recalled.Sohan, with the support of his Pakistani family who settled in the Philippines 40 years ago, underwent a total of five surgeries: three in the Philippines and two in India. He had to temporarily quit school.The attending doctors stated they had done everything they could. We even tried to seek further treatment in China, but we were advised there were no other possible solutions available, he shared.My parents warned me that I would not be able to live as normally as I was used to.Then came years of depression.It was like the end of the world for me, related Sohan. But the greatest thing that I have learnt all throughout my journey was acceptance.Naturally, there were a number of unanswered questions that greatly bothered me. But I needed to move on. If I did not learn to accept it, then I would not have been able to look for ways to move forward.After a two-year medical break, Sohan decided to finish high school. Don Bosco Makati willingly welcomed him back.Trying to pick up from where he left off was not easy. It was a change in lifestyle, he admitted. I used to work as I saw things, but now I have to work as I hear them.Sohan was able to overcome this great challenge with the assistance of non-government organization Resources for the Blind, which provided technology that converted all his textbooks to soft copies to be read aloud by text-to-speech functions.He graduated from Don Bosco Makati with the St. Dominic Savio Award in recognition for his dedication in completing and acing his secondary education. When it was time to decide for further studies, the Resources for the Blind recommended De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde for its inclusive approach.With additional encouragement from family and close friends, Sohan found his calling in the colleges Information Systems Program. I realized that it was actually more than what I was looking for, he beamed."If I did not learn to accept it, then I would not have been able to look for ways to move forward."When he first entered Benilde, his friends brought him around the campus. He familiarized himself despite his limited perception.Shortly thereafter, he completely lost his eyesight, but he can already navigate around the vicinity with his cane.Sohan believes that he was able to chase his dream with the backing from his family, friends, and professors who always ensured he was never behind in the lessons. I even had a mentor who personally met me once to twice a week to check how I was doing in class, he shared.Fully losing my eyesight was a really big adjustment from my end, but Benilde attuned quite well with me. The atmosphere was very warm and I was reminded once again that inclusion is in the colleges DNA because I really felt it firsthand.In his second year, Sohan started to work as the web developer for the Student Publication Office, which automatically granted him 50 percent scholarship plus an opportunity to enhance his skills in the field.Sohan and friends Mark Christian Yu and Anna Alexandra Nery then conceptualized and created SOHAN, a smart navigation app designed to assist the visually impaired.SOHAN is composed of three platforms: a mobile app that sets and reads the destination, a wearable device that follows unique patterns of vibrations for instructions, and a web app that allows the guardians to check the current location.It features chat messaging and emergency alerts for easier connectivity. The team has completed the prototype and is currently working on the official release to ensure the safety of the probable users.His devotion and passion led him to be a consistent Deans Lister. He graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors.Sohan currently works as the Software Engineer of homegrown food mobile app c. He is involved in their family business and is experimenting on a finance-related project with a friend as well.Today, Sohan can no longer see the colors. He cannot even decipher whether it is day or night. But there is no stopping someone fueled with a desire to learn, explore, and create.

Roslyn Young-Daniels and M. Lindsay Kaplan, Opinion contributors Published 7:00 a.m. ET July 11, 2020 | Updated 8:05 a.m. ET July 11, 2020

Racism is a pandemic that threatens Black people. Lets use this moment to create a country that not only protects their lives, but helps them thrive.

The Trump administrations latest move to end the Affordable Care Act threatens to deprive millions of Americans of health coverage in the midst of a pandemic. Especially troubling is that dismantling the law would disproportionately harm Black people advancing racism precisely as we grapple with its shameful legacy.

We emphatically endorse the need to develop policies to dismantle the racist structure of policing as one means of saving Black lives.However, unless we create and put in place strategies to ensure their health, well-being and access to medical care, many Black people will continue to fall sick and die from preventable illnesses.

Over 50 years ago,Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pointed out that of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death. Today there is ample data showing that African Americans are at higher risk than other for both developing illness and dying from it.

One of us, Roslyn Young-Daniels, founded Black Health Matters so people could learn from and speak to researchers, medical practitioners and representatives of pharmaceutical companies about diseases that particularly affect the Black community. This information raises awareness and empowers people to advocate for their own health and well-being.

However, it was a federal policy that made the work of Black Health Matters possible. Without the Affordable Care Act, which expanded the availability of health insurance and took many other steps that improved health care for under-served communities, no amount of information or advocacy would have helped people who could not get medical care.

As beneficial as the ACA has been, we know that much more work needs to be done, and that governmental policy is a powerful means to effect it. The Brookings Institution recently recommended that the 2021 White House invest in Black and Brown neighborhoods and in well-being thus eliminating deserts in health care. Policy advisers for both campaigns need to make Black health a priority in the next administration.

Shockingly, rather than developing a policy to aid the Black community when its need is so painfully evident to most, the Trump administration has pressed forward with its drive to eliminate the ACA during the COVID-19 pandemic though it is disproportionately killing Black, Brown and poor people and has caused many to lose the jobs that provided their health insurance.

COVID can't be quarantined: A coronavirus to-do list for the pandemic and beyond: First, open our eyes and hearts.

In contrast, former Vice President Joe Biden has already taken the initiative on Black health by proposing investments geared to ending racial health disparities. He would strengthen and reform the ACA, provide support for community health centers, create mental health parity, address poverty, pollution and other adverse social determinants of health, and invest in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions to build a diverse pipeline of health care professionals.

We would also recommend more study of diseases that particularly affect Black people, such as lupus, sickle cell anemia, diabetes and hypertension. In addition, we would like to see hospitals in Black neighborhoods that dont focus primarily on trauma, but provide a wide range of services including preventative medicine. Another policy initiative would ensure that discussions and legislation on reparations include remedies for Black health disparities resulting from the history of slavery.

In addition to the next presidents vision, Congress must pass laws that realize these aspirations. Americans of all colors increasingly understand that racism functions as a larger pandemic threatening the lives of Black people. This growing consensus should inspire our elected officials to transform the institutions that perpetuatesystemic racism that devalues the lives and health of Black people and results in their death on a daily basis.

Trump and health care: Imagine a world with a COVID-19 pandemic and without the Affordable Care Act. Trump does.

While this is not an easy task, neither is it impossible.

Policy is defined by the investments a society chooses to make, as Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, argued in Anna Deavere Smith's "Notes from the Field," a 2018 HBO special. Ifill added that it takes moments, kind of almost epic moments, to move us to change those choices. This is one of those moments. Lets take advantage of it to create an America that not only protects the lives of Black people, but helps them thrive. Because #BlackHealthMatters.

Black health matters. COVID has shown that improving care must be a national priority. - USA TODAY

Some of the sickest coronavirus patients could be injected with lab-made antibodies when they arrive in hospitalto help themfight off the disease, according to a government advisor.

Prof Peter Openshaw, who sits on Sage's nine-strong clinical information group, described biotech therapies currently being trialled as potentially "very exciting" treatments for Covid-19 patients.

The drugs, known as monoclonal antibodies, are based on antibodies produced by patients who have recovered from coronavirus, and are the first potential new medicines specifically designed to attack the virus.

Prof Openshaw said such treatments would result in antibodies circulating in a patient's bloodstream "within half an hour", unlike vaccines, which could take "weeks" to stimulate the body into producing a similar response.

"One particular benefit might be that it could prevent progression to the severe disease that is sometimes seen in people who present with initial respiratory symptoms," he said.

"Boosting their antibody levels as soon as they arrive in hospital could mean that they don't go on to develop all the severe complications that do happen in a minority of patients."

Prof Openshaw, who is a professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, said British scientists were now awaiting the results of human trials that showed the effect of injecting monoclonal antibodies into Covid-19 patients in hospitals.

Unlike drugs such as dexamethasone, the steroid, monoclonal antibodies have been specifically designed to attack the virus and can be given to patients much earlier in the course of the disease.

Two US pharma firms, Eli Lilly and Regeneron, launched the first safety studies of monoclonal antibodies therapies in humans last month.

While more countries around the world continue to acknowledge the potential of CBD, the full biological effects of the cannabinoid are yet to be fully understood. However, some research demonstrates that CBD has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

But what does this mean for those that use CBD products, and who could potentially benefit from it?

CBD is one of the most common chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. It is classed as a cannabinoid, along with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabinol (CBN), and over a hundred other compounds in the plant. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring chemicals that have become known for their medicinal and wellness potential.

It is also clear that, in some cases, CBD might be used to treat particular diseases for which other available treatments have failed to be effective. Although we know that it produces effects in the central nervous system, in contrast to THC, which is psychoactive, CBD doesnt create the so-called high feeling.

In a nutshell, the immune system is the main defense our bodies have against diseases and other potentially damaging threats. When functioning properly, the immune system identifies and attacks intruders, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites distinguishing them from our bodys healthy tissue.

Lymphocytes, or B cells and T cells, fight against antigens and they help the body to remember the once-beaten substances so that the next time the immune system can act quickly and effectively.

Despite the existence of the Endocannabinoid System only being confirmed by researchers in the 1990s, we already know that this system can play an important role in many bodily functions, including brain functions. Endocannabinoid receptors are expressed throughout the central nervous system, as well as in the human immune system.

Interactions between endocannabinoids and receptors are thought to influence mood, emotions, appetite, pain-sensation and memory, among other important physiological and cognitive processes. Phytocannabinoids (the most well-known are CBD and THC) interact with this system in similar ways to endocannabinoids.

According to research by James M. Nichols and Barbara L.F. Kaplan, it would appear that considering all the studies conducted on immune responses and inflammation, the data overwhelmingly demonstrate that CBD is immune suppressive and anti-inflammatory.While the definition of something being anti-inflammatory should be clear, CBD functioning as an immunosuppressant might require clarification.

As a potential immunosuppressant, CBD may reduce the immune systems inflammatory responses, promote apoptosis (cellular death), and prevent rapid cellular growth. In certain cases, these features may have a negative effect on a healthy humans immune system.

In addition, CBD exposure may also suppress the functions of cytokines, chemokines, and T cells all of which play an important role in immunodefense.

It has been suggested that CBD may have potential as an adjunct treatment for some autoimmune diseases.

An autoimmune disease is when the immune system begins to attack healthy cells, tissues, and organs. This can occur basically anywhere in the body, and it can result in particular body functions weakening and, in some cases, life-threatening conditions. The most common autoimmune diseases include Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Psoriasis.

Inflammation plays an important role in autoimmune diseases. As an anti-inflammatory,CBD might help the body to tackle the disease. In addition, CBDs immunosuppressive nature might be able to help it to deal with hyperactive immune systems that attack themselves.

Hansa Biopharma has granted an exclusive license to Sarepta Therapeutics for developing and promoting a pretreatment aimed to make a gene therapy to treat muscular dystrophy available to people that are naturally resistant to the treatment.

Gene therapy can be used to treat genetic conditions by delivering a healthy copy of the faulty gene using harmless recombinant viruses. The adeno-associated virus (AAV) is one of the most commonly used in gene therapy, and the basis of Sarepta Therapeutics gene therapy technology.

However, up to 70% of people naturally carry neutralizing antibodies against AAV. This prevents the transfer of the healthy gene sequence and raises safety concerns for the patient. Swedish company Hansa Biopharma is developing a pretreatment called imlifidase that works to eliminate these neutralizing antibodies prior to gene therapy treatments.

Imlifidase is an enzyme from the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes that breaks down the antibodies that are involved in generating an immune response against external pathogens, inhibiting their activity within hours after administration.

Imlifidase is completely unique in development, said Emanuel Bjorne, VP Business Development at Hansa Biopharma. There is no product in the market that has this mode of action.

Sarepta Therapeutics aims to use imlifidase to extend its gene therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy to those patients that are naturally resistant to the AAV vectors used to deliver these treatments. According to the agreement, Hansa will get 8.8M ($10M) upfront and is eligible for a total of 350M ($397M) in development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments, in addition to royalties to future sales.

Sarepta Therapeutics will conduct preclinical evaluation of imlifidase as a pretreatment for gene therapy with Hansa providing our imlifidase expertise to the collaboration, said Bjorne. If everything goes according to plan, the company will start a clinical study of imlifidase in combination with Sareptas gene therapy in the second half of next year.

In preclinical models, Hansas technology has been successful in clearing the antibodies that prevent the success of gene therapies. If successful, this could offer the potential of extending existing gene therapy treatments to patients who would otherwise not be able to benefit from them. Hansa Biopharma is also investigating the use of this drug as a way to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs, and to treat cancer and rare autoimmune conditions.
