my cryptic sentences mean: 100% - opt for consecutive series or even just private doc.Everyone who enters such an arrangement gets threatment. That's also Study One. 67% applies to entering a study randomizing 2 patients for study for every control or placebo. That's study Two. I believe some treatm...

why blinded studies ARE needed. My wife, a patient with MS for 31 years, was offered either enrollment in a randomized study OR getting treated now [September 2011]. for a number of personal reasons we opted for 'maybe it will work now.' The before/after angioplasty studies showed improvement from e...

I came across this website http://www.ranjam.net/ because of its come-on line: Designed by Boomers for Boomers! The most unique walking cane ever made! The RANjAM SOLUTION: Designed by a physical therapist, the 'FLEX-STICK' uses physics and basic geometry to enhance the stability throughout the norm...

thanks Blossom and Cece. i watched my wife's Doppler Ultrasound. now i know nothing but i saw that flow was really slow in her left IJ. All you have to do is match the colors like rain on the weather channel. i saw the films made during the procedure, before and after. it was very easy to see, once ...

Hi cheerleader, Is it a coincidence that you post that article and our story yesterday? we've just returned from Albany where my wife underwent venography and subsequently venoplasty on Sept 13, 2011. Dr. Mehta showed me the films, which showed stenosis at the L IJ junction with the Subclavian and t...

talk about small world! you shudda been a surgeon, i remember a Time magazine cover years ago with Michael DeBakey on the cover. His quote was underneath "If they can operate, you're lucky." we sure feel lucky right now. what time is your appt? we don't know the schedule yet but it would b...

thank you very much. with regard to the science, too much will be changing over the next decade for a 'definitive' study to be done. i believe Robert Loeb, Co-author of Cecil and Loeb textbook of medicine, which was THE textbook of medicine from the late 40s onward, said it best. Loeb's Laws of Medi...

i've observed that more than a link is usually posted and i am sorry that the one i posted didn't even bring you to the right page. as this is a review by neurologists, i thought i'd print all of it. the link below is correct http://www.frontiersin.org/endovascular_and_interventional_neurology/10.33...

I haven't seen this mini-review article listed here, though you all must know about it. Just in case: Ref Frontiers in Neurology, published 14 July Endovascular therapy fro chronic CCSCI in MS Lazzaro, Zaidat, Mueller-Kronast, Taqu and Woo www.frontiersin.org July 2011 Volume 2 Article 44. they are ...

Cece, thank you very much. you sent me in the right directions. I read the Consensus conference abstracts from Bologna, the vascular awareness publication and about the NIH trials going on. In the 'it's a small world category' i found that one of the investigators in the liberation study was a surgi...

i'm a 73 y o general surgeon whose wife has had ms for 30 yrs. i've been trying to learn about this procedure and whether it might help her. i've been reading your discussions about vascular techniques. i'm amazed at your technical knowledge as well as your overall grasp of the importance of acting ...
