A friend sent me an article this past Sunday about some recently reported findings for possible paralysis treatments. I thought I should share it, for those of you that might have missed the news. The full report was published in the current issue of Nature Neuroscience, although you need to purchase the article if you don't already subscribe to the journal. You can only read the abstract for free. The report can be downloaded directly on through Nature Neuroscience website. Here's the link to the Yahoo News article that my friend sent me:

LIFE; PARALYZED EXHIBIT
I’m happy to report that my recent exhibit opening was a big success. This particular exhibit is my third art exhibit and second solo show. The exhibit is at Kean University, in their Student Art Gallery. The gallery is located in Vaughn-Eames, which is the art building. Vaughn-Eames has two art galleries on the first floor, as well as a small theater. The opening reception was held in the Vaughn-Eames building lobby, from two to five p.m., Sunday, September 13, 2009. The exhibit will be available for viewing until October, 2, 2009. If you have friends or family that live in the area, please tell about the show.

Update of the SCINetUSA Status
The investigators of SCINetUSA have met three times to discuss clinical
trials of Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells (UCBMC) and Lithium on
• March 12-14, 2009 at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin Texas.
• April 23-29, 2009 in Beijing and Kunming, China.
• July 23-24, 2009 at the Keck Center at Rutgers University, Piscataway
US103 Phase III Trial to assess UCBMC transplants and lithium.
At these meetings, we have reached a consensus on the treatment
approach, the randomization, the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and
outcomes for the Phase III trial to assess the safety and efficacy of
treating people with chronic spinal cord injury with UCBMC \and
lithium. The investigators agreed that the trial should have:
• four treatments groups: placebo, lithium, UCBMC, and UCBMC+lithium.
• The outcome measures will
be American Spinal Injury Association neurological scores for motor and
sensory function, the Walking Index of Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI), the
Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM), the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
for pain, and the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity.
