Landmark Discoveries in Healthcare An OverviewCynthia LaneNewborn cured of human immunodeficiency virusA woman from Mississippi gave parentage to a child that contacted HIV from its mother. The woman was not aware she had HIV and doctors did not take precautions to test her for it. Just after the baby was born it showed signs of creation infected with the virus. At the University of Mississippi Medical Center, a Dr. Hannah Gay and her staff decided to take a big chance by giving the infant a three anti-HIV combination drug cocktail. To their surprise the infant has been HIV free for two years after birth. The infant does not show whatsoever signs of the infection in its body even though the child is not on any medications after the fact (Subramanian, Oct. 2013).New Changes on Cholesterol Treatments more than People on StatinsThe American College of Cardiology and the American Heart familiarity, feels if people were to take statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs this would prevent t he first heart attack or stroke events.

Professor Mitalipov use the same process but this time he used human skin cells he were hollowed out, he successfully stimulated the egg to electrically and chemically the egg divided and levyd an embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cells would be used to create body tissues and organs th at may be used to treat Alzehimers, diabetes and heart disease (Gallagher, May, 2013 Shoukhrat, 2001-2014).One drug instead of trio Doses of Vaccine May be Plenty to Protect Against HPVThe HPV-human papillomavirus vaccine is given to girls and boys between 11 and 12 years old to protect them against genital warts and cervical cancer. At first the children would have to have three shots (immunizations) of the vaccine to be effective half of the children are not returning to their physician or clinic to smash the series. A group of international researchers confirmed that one dose of the vaccine can generate an increase of 24 times of antibodies in the body which would be enough to protect them from HPV and the risk of cancer would be lower (Sifferlin, Nov. 2014).New Hair Growth inquiry Columbia University, researchers says transplanting hair follicles upside agglomerate can produce pertly hair growth. Patches of foreskin from circumcised babies are used because they do not have hair follicles. The foreskin is inverted and takes root to produce hair (CU Researchers, 2013).Poop PillDr. Thomas Louie of the University of Calgary, created a gel capsule that is made of bacteria found in poop. Our bodies have microbes in our gut that jockstrap digest our food and fight other disease-ca apply microbes. The gel capsule is best used to cure Clostridium difficile infection, which is called for short C diff, this is a very transmittable intestinal infection which causes diarrhea and deadly inflammation of the colon. Less than 30 patients were tested with this gel capsule and have not experienced any repeated symptoms of the C diff infection (Marchione, Oct. 2013).Changing Poor Quality Eggs to muscular EggsStanford University researches elaborated a technique for women with poor quality eggs to build up healthy, mature eggs from their own eggs. The researchers would remove a piece of ovarian tissue or an ovary and treat it with proteins and other factors in the lab . The tissue would be recharged indeed re-implanted close to the fallopian tubes. Five out of 27 women produced healthy eggs, one gave birth to a healthy baby, and one woman became pregnant (Sifferlin, Sept. 2013).New Genes Linked to AlzeheimersThere are 24 genes now known associated with Alzheimers, the discovery involves inflammation and the bodys immune responses. They are associated with the brain changes of Alzheimers researchers will tooshie drugs that would potentially treat memory loss symptoms and dementia which is a mark of brain disorder (Paddock, Oct. 2013).Parkinsons Disease Detected EarlyScientists feel by detecting Alzheimers and Parkinsons as early as possible this would identify their disease and be able to intercept with treatments. Panel of proteins of spinal tranquil can help scientists identify the first stage of the disease. By controlling the symptoms in their early stage of the Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease, experts hope to launch new studies to make d rugs that failed obsolete (SpiritIndia, 2006).ReferencesGallagher, James Health and science reporter, BBC News (15 May 2013)http//www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22540374Mitalipov, Shoukhrat (2001-2014 Oregon Health Science University) Oregon National Primate Research Center Oregon Stem Cell Center Departments of Obstetrics Gynecology and Molecular Medical Genetics Oregon Health Science Universityhttp//www.ohsu.edu/xd/research/centers-institutes/stem-cell-center/mitalipov-lab/LaRosa, MD, thaumaturgy C From the State University of New York-Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York (Circulation.
