    Electronic Retinal Implant Restores Vision

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdpWA_kS0y/Age-Related Macular degeneration is the leading cause of adult blindness, but Stanford University research ophthalmologists have developed an electronic retinal implant that promises to restore sight to millions.  Their device, nicknamed PRIMA standing for photovoltaic retina implant microarray, includes a subretinal wireless implant and wearable video camera.  The camera, mounted on an eyeglass frame, detects an image.  That image is converted by a pocket processor into infrared laser light signals that are directed through the lens of the eye to the implant under the retina.  The implant, in turn, creates the neural electrical  signals that restore sight. The implant is entirely light-powered and requires no external power supply.This PRIMA system underwent a multisite, primary clinical trial at Stanford, the University of Pittsburgh, and Germany's University of Bonn.  A remarkable 27 of 32 implanted patients, 84%, regained the ability to read books, labels, and even street signs.  Some could even correctly make out some of the smallest lines on a standard eye chart.  The vision is black and white.Further refinement of the PRIMA chip is underway that promises a higher resolution and a refined grayscale.  No word yet as to whether this system will restore full color vision, but bioengineering ingenuity might just achieve that result…..someday soon.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251022023118.htm#google_vignettehttps://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2501396#blindness #maculardegeneration #amd #prima #retinalimplant

    New Weapon Against Breast Cancer

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdod3Mj3HW/A new, supercharged form of immunotherapy for breast cancer has just been announced by UCLA oncologists in the Journal of Hematology & Oncology. The new approach involves the production of CAR-NKT cells, standing for chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer T cells, that have the superpower to attack not one but dozens of tumor cell surface antigens simultaneously.  The cells target a protein mesothelin, which cancers need to rapidly grow and spread.Many current immunotherapies only target a single receptor. Triple negative breast cancers lack many of these common receptors making them difficult to treat successfully. This CAR-NKT therapy attacks so many receptors it could prove effective for those with these triple negative cancers.Even better, the CAR-NKT cells can be mass-produced from donated stem cells and stored for immediate use on demand. Very promising is the fact that the CAR-NKT cells target, mesothelin, is not only found on breast cancers but also on the surfaces of ovarian, pancreatic, and lung cancer cells.So far, these CAR-NKT cells have only been tested in the laboratory on tissue cultured breast cancer cells harvested from patient swith advanced disease.  Clinical trials are in the planning stages, and hopefully, this super-immunotherapy will be available to save patients with a variety of difficult-to-treat cancers…..someday soon.https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251022/New-type-of-immunotherapy-could-change-the-treatment-plan-for-triple-negative-breast-cancer.aspxhttps://jhoonline.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13045-025-01736-9#immunotherapy #CAR-NKT #cancer #breast #triplenegative #ovarian #pancreatic #lung

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdnYr9jZwV/An exciting, ground-breaking clinical study now shows that children born with a defective gene coding for a vital inner ear protein can have that gene  repaired and hearing restored. This phenomenally successful preliminary clinical trial was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Genetic bioengineers at New York's Regeneron Pharmaceuticals loaded a normal copy of the otoferlin gene into a dual adeno-associated virus acting as a Trojan horse.  Twelve children, born without the ability to synthesize otoferlin protein, received the gene injection, dubbed DB-OTO therapy, into their inner ears at 3 clinical centers: Harvard's Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary, UC San Diego's Children's Hospital, and University College London.  Otoferlin is necessary for the inner ear's ability to convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses.  At 24 weeks post-injection, 9 of the 12 children, 75%, regained measurable hearing.  Three, 25%, developed near normal hearing.  The gene therapy was well-tolerated without any significant side effects.This gene therapy, with further refinement and after larger clinical trials, may be a one-and-done treatment for one common form of congenital deafness. Cochlear implants will continue to be essential therapy for other types of genetic and acquired severe hearing losses pending development of other genetic and/or chemical cochlear modifications.https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2400521#deafness #children #congenital #otoferlin #dboto

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdmkOKCSjm/The Brits now tell us that they have some better remedies for the world's constipation woes and they don't include high fiber diets or harsh laxatives. A new meta-analysis from the nutritionists at King's College, London rigorously reviewed 75 clinical trials and gives us some better suggestions for constipation relief.When the data were crunched, it showed significant constipation relief from kiwifruit, rye bread, and mineral rich water.  Also helpful were dietary supplements containing psyllium fiber, probiotics, and magnesium oxide. These suggestions are now endorsed by the British Dietetic Association.  If you continue to suffer from hard, infrequent stools, why not give them a try.  As you do, remember that enough daily water is critical for regular defecation.  For adult men, that number is 125 oz and for women 91 oz.  We parents do know that kiddies too can become constipated. The magic number for toddlers is 44 oz, for older children 57 oz, for young teen boys 81 oz, for girls 71 oz, for older teen boys 112 oz, for girls 78 oz.  For everyone, the water requirements surge with hot weather, exercise, fever, diarrhea, and breastfeeding.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nmo.70173https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/11537/chapter/15#constipation #fiber #laxatives  #water #grains #fruit

    New Relief For Women In Menopause

    Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdlztLFFi-/The hot flashes and night sweats of menopause create a miserable midlife for so many women.  Hormones do offer relief, but many women cannot take them.  Enter a new non-hormonal drug just approved by the FDA.This medication, elinzanetant to be marketed as Lynkuet by Bayer, GlaxoSmithKline, and Nerre Therapeutics, is an oral neurokinin/tachykinin antagonist that normalizes thermal and sleep regulation.  A phase 3 multi-national study headed by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine shows that 120 mg elinzanetant taken daily relieves both the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, improves sleep quality, and elevates moods. Improvement occurred for some study participants within the first week of therapy.Last year, the FDA approved another Bayer oral menopause drug fezolinetant, branded as Veozah. With one neurokinin receptor blocker, it reduces hot flashes only. This year's new entry is more powerful as it blocks two neurokinin receptors and affects not only thermoregulation, the hot flashes, but also sleep and mood.Since these drugs contain no estrogen, they lack the risks of blood clots, possible strokes, or exacerbation of certain hormone-dependent cancers including breast, uterine, and ovarian. Once readily available at your pharmacy, they provide safe, effective, and non-hormonal options for controlling bothersome menopausal symptoms.  Currently not approved for women with pre- or peri-menopausal symptoms, that approval should come soon,https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-fda-nonhormonal-drug-ease-menopause.htmlhttps://newsroom.uvahealth.com/2025/09/16/drug-reduces-hot-flashes-by-73-trial-finds/#women #elinzanetant #Lynkuet #menopaue #hotflashes #nightsweats
