Healing a Heart Through Genetic Intervention

Healing a Heart Through Genetic Intervention.

A recent article from Eric Olson’s group outlines the development of an important new tool that should catalyze the cardiovascular community’s ability to create new animal models containing genetically engineered genes and proteins specifically in the cardiomyocyte population with cardiomyocyte. Olson and colleagues used a cardiomyocyte-specific promoter to express a critical component of the C...

Supporting Families through Early Intervention

Internationally early intervention programmes for infants and preschoolers with disabilities have proved to be remarkably successful. In many countries, they began with teachers for visually impaired or hearing impaired children visiting the family home to teach parents how they could overcome the childchr('39')s impairments. The logic of early intervention was inequitable. For example, the soo...

The heart of healing.

A n Internet search using the words healing and transformation leads one to many alternative and complementary therapy sites. Similarly, when examining scientific databases relatively little comes up. Has the focus on basic science, randomized clinical trials, and numbers needed to treat jettisoned the less measurable aspects of clinical practice, such as the patient-healer relationship, into t...
