Growth Hormone Injections May Have ‘Seeded’ Alzheimer’s in Some People, Study Suggests

Researchers say they have uncovered more evidence to support a controversial hypothesis that sticky proteins that are a signature of Alzheimer’s disease can be transmitted from person to person through certain surgical procedures.The authors and other scientists stress that the research is based on a small number of people and is related to medical practices that are no longer used. The study does not suggest that forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease can be contagious.Still, “we’d like to take precautions going…

Even More Evidence That Alzheimer’s Was Being Spread by Now-Banned Injections : ScienceAlert

The practice of injecting children with growth hormone extracted from the brains of deceased people was abandoned long ago – with good reason.Around 200 children who underwent this procedure during 1959–1985 to treat short stature developed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease decades later – a deadly, degenerative brain condition caused by a misfolded protein known as a prion.Now, a study has provided more evidence that these injections might also have seeded Alzheimer's disease.Such person-to-person transmissions of Alzheimer's…

Weekly ‘smart’ insulin could replace multiple daily injections

Researchers have created a slow-release ‘smart’ insulin that responds to blood glucose levels to provide week-long control with virtually no incidents of low blood sugar. Tested in mice and minipigs, the novel insulin opens the door to once-a-week insulin injections for diabetics.One of the (literal and figurative) pains for a diabetic is the need for multiple daily insulin injections. Insulin replacement therapy aims to maintain normal blood glucose (BG) levels, with diabetics often walking a fine line between…

Stem cell injections help slow progression of MS in clinical trial

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. But in a new clinical trial, scientists have tested a promising new therapy involving injections of stem cells, which seems to slow progression of the disease.In patients with MS, the immune system begins mistakenly attacking myelin, the tissue that encases and protects nerve fibers. As this sheath sustains more and more damage, it disrupts electrical signals traveling through nerves, resulting in reduced mobility, balance, sensation and muscle…

Peptide injections, stem cell, exosomes: Road to Jeremy Renner`s recovery from s

Actor Jeremy Renner`s life has taken a massive turn ever since his harrowing and near-fatal snowplow incident. Detailing his recovery process, the `Avengers` star has said that he has been exploring every possible option ranging from endless hours of physical therapy, peptide injections, iv drips and pushes, stem cell and exosomes etc. Ever since his close brush with death and being given a second chance at life, the actor has been struck with several epiphanies, though the biggest for him is that he is never again…

Eye Drops Could Replace Injections For a Common Retina Disease : ScienceAlert

Right now, people affected by retinal vein occlusion (RVO) are typically prescribed injections of a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (anti-VEGF) into their eye.Experiments on mice conducted by researchers at Columbia University and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in the US suggest this uncomfortable and slightly scary treatment could one day be replaced with eye drops.RVO occurs when a vein in the eye's retina gets blocked, leading to swelling, inflammation, damage to the retina, and even…

Contraceptive gene therapy injections in cats replaces surgical spaying

Getting your cat spayed is a normal part of pet ownership, but it can be expensive, invasive and not very practical on strays. Now scientists have developed and tested a new method that renders female cats permanently sterile with a single gene therapy injection.According to the International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA), there are over 480 million stray cats worldwide. Not only do they pose a hazard to each other and domestic cats, but they can decimate native wildlife in whatever country they…

Weight-loss injections have taken over the internet. But what does this mean for people IRL?

Good side effects, bad side effects In the beginning, weight loss was just a side effect. GLP-1 RAs were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes; their hormone-mimicking action provokes insulin production. In 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first drug of this kind, Exenatide, for diabetics. Throughout the 2000s, more and more GLP-1 RAs came onto the market. Right away, patients noticed that these drugs didn’t just treat their diabetes—they also helped them lose weight.  Ozempic and Wegovy, the…
