  • Space Station Investigation Goes with the Flow 29 October 2015, by Andrea Dunn
    Space station investigation goes with the flow 29 October 2015, by Andrea Dunn circulation. The Drain Brain investigation, which was completed in July 2015, measured the blood flow from the brain to the heart of one crew member to help researchers better understand how the flow is affected by microgravity and which physical processes in the body can compensate for the lack of gravity, ensuring blood flows properly. Cerebral blood circulation is one of the major regulators of human brain physiology. Due to the variability and complexity of the cerebral venous system (the collection of veins in and around the brain), scientists currently lack an approach for reliably and objectively measuring the cerebral venous return (the blood flow from the brain to the heart through the jugular veins). Scientists do know that, on Earth, the return is influenced by gravity when subjects are upright, and by respiration, or breathing, when subjects are laying down. However, very little is known about the mechanisms ensuring blood outflow from the brain in microgravity. In an effort to measure this outflow, a research team led by Paolo Zamboni, MD, University of Ferrara in Italy, developed a strain-gauge plethysmography system to investigate these processes. The instrumentation was used aboard the space station both to study cerebral venous return in microgravity conditions, and to properly Samantha Cristoforetti conducts plethysmography and understand the phenomena of physiological pulmonary function system measurements during Brain adaptation.

    Globe and Mail: Researcher's labour of love leads to MS breakthrough Page 1 of 4 November 20, 2009 Researcher's labour of love leads to MS breakthrough By André Picard and Avis Favaro From Saturday's Globe and Mail New way of thinking about debilitating disease has yielded stunning new treatments - but MS societies urge sufferers to be cautious before experimenting Elena Ravalli was a seemingly healthy 37-year-old when she began to experience strange attacks of vertigo, numbness, temporary vision loss and crushing fatigue. They were classic signs of multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating neurological disease. It was 1995 and her husband, Paolo Zamboni, a professor of medicine at the University of Ferrara in Italy, set out to help. He was determined to solve the mystery of MS - an illness that strikes people in the prime of their lives but whose causes are unknown and whose effective treatments are few. What he learned in his medical detective work, scouring dusty old books and using ultra-modern imaging techniques, could well turn what we know about MS on its head: Dr. Zamboni's research suggests that MS is not, as widely believed, an autoimmune condition, but a vascular disease. Share your stories Tell us what this potential breakthrough in multiple sclerosis treatment means to you More radical still, the experimental surgery he performed on his wife offers hope that MS, which afflicts 2.5 million people worldwide, can be cured and even largely prevented.

  • Framing Liberation Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis in Canadian Mainstream Press
    Constructing Scientific Controversy: Framing liberation therapy for multiple sclerosis in Canadian mainstream press Brianne Tulk Major research project submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. in Communication Department of Communication Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Brianne Tulk, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 CONSTRUCTING SCIENTIFIC CONSTROVERSY i Abstract Liberation therapy has received significant attention in Canadian media as a controversial new surgical treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS). The wavering stance of the Canadian Institute of Health Research to fund clinical trials informed contentious media representations rooted in scientific expertise versus patient advocacy and hope. This research supports the finding of preceding media studies in scientific controversies that the conflict was defined by: a) A balance ethic giving equal weight to competing stakeholders, b) Socially constituted moral issues were dominated by a patient injustice frame, and c) A strong emphasis placed on stakeholders made up of patients or affected individuals to dominate the media framing and discourse. Through an in-depth case study informed by the sociology of scientific knowledge, this research argues that not only did the moral amplification of the patient injustice frame give salience to certain facts over others, but it also contributed to the social determination of research priorities.

  • Hello and Welcome Everyone
    Transcript of live Web forum: CCSVI and what it could mean to people living with multiple sclerosis Broadcast live from Toronto, Canada on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 12:00pm EST Panelists: Dr. Paolo Zamboni, Dr. Robert Zivadinov, Dr. Andrew Common, and Dr. Aaron Miller. [ Start ] >> Hello and welcome everyone. My name is Jay McBride and I'll be moderating today's webcast focusing on chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency also known as CCSVI, and what it could mean to the future of people living with multiple sclerosis. Our program today is co-sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the American Academy of Neurology. I’d like to welcome the journalists on site and our international online audience and thank them for joining us for this educational forum. Before I introduce our distinguished group of panelists, I just wanted to address the fact that this forum was established to address the most prominent questions that the media and the general public have about CCSVI. The panelists will try and answer as many questions as time permits over the next 90 minutes. We will alternate questions from our on-site audience and our online participants. And because we have almost 4200 people from around the world registered to participate in today's web forum, the questions that we'll be answering are those that could apply to the greatest number of viewers. So we regret that we cannot answer any personal medical questions. Now, I like you to meet our panelists, each of which will speak briefly about CCSVI, after which we'll open up the floor and the lines to questions.
