HỘI CHỨNG ỐNG CỔ TAY
Drasko Simovic, David H. Weinberg: Carpal
tunnel syndrome. Arch Neurol/vol 57, May 2000, p:754-755.
Hội chứng ống cổ tay (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
– CTS) là bệnh tổn thương một dây thần kinh hay gặp nhất trên lâm sàng.
Mặc dù ngày nay bệnh được biết đầy đủ, nhưng cũng phải mất gần 100 năm từ
những đánh giá ban đầu cho tới khi sinh lư bệnh học của bệnh được chấp
nhận là do chèn ép dây thần kinh giữa ở cổ tay. |

Hot Topics in MedicineStudies of the use of gene therapy for revascularization in peripheral
vascular disease patients were described at AHA by Dr. Drasko Simovic of
St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center (Boston, Massachusetts). Simovic’s studies
involved the intramuscular injection of a gene encoding for VEGF in
patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy of the leg. Of a total of 22
patients evaluated at three months, 63% had improved neurological
symptoms, and 50% had an improvement in nerve motor amplitude.
Furthermore, the ankle-brachial index improved in eight of 10 patients.
The studies indicated that some reversal of diabetic neuropathy occurred
due to gene treatment, whereas reversal of neuropathy in the legs has
generally been considered to be irreversible... |
BioSpace News: Nerve regenerationDoctors Report Nerve Repair In Gene Therapy Doctors trying to grow new blood vessels in the legs of patients with
poor circulation yesterday reported an unexpected result: In 10 of 19
patients, the gene therapy treatment appeared to repair nerve damage that
is usually considered irreversible. Researchers at St. Elizabeth's Medical
Center in Brighton, led by Dr. Drasko Simovic, assistant professor of
neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine, cautioned that the
results are preliminary, since the study had no control group and some
results could be attributable to a placebo effect.. |

Eagle TribuneA neurologist who works part time in Lawrence has just announced
research that offers the first-ever evidence of reversing nerve damage in
the legs by using gene therapy. The new study marks an exciting
possibility for medicine, showing for the first time that it is possible
to regrow nerves in the legs... |
Wired NewsThe research was published in the May issue of Archives of Neurology,
and was led by Dr. Drasko Simovic, assistant professor of neurology at
Tufts University School of Medicine. To find out if VEGF gene therapy can
repair nerves directly, or if it is stimulated blood vessel growth that
engenders the repair, the researchers are now planning a controlled
trial... |
