Asibi Dealma : Young flesh-eating bacteria victim is home, but bills mounting We have an update on a little girl who mysteriously developed a flesh eating bacteria. After two weeks in the hospital and eight surgeries, life is getting back to normal for two year old Zoey Chalk. 4 hours ago - Via Google+ - View - Matthew Smith : Sponsor a maggot? Seriously.

Unless there is a potential for Big Dollars for Big Pharma, obtaining money for medical research (like much scientific research) is anything but easy. In a bold experiment by Australia's Deakin University, a number of projects are looking to acquire funds through crowd-sourcing and social  media engagement. Mighty Maggots vs Flesh Nom Bug puts the fun into fund raiser, with the likes of Friday afternoon maggot racing, and maggot painting (they're abstractionists,) but the aim is to address by novel (but actually very old) means a medical condition that is anything but fun. The Bairnsdale ulcer - also known as the Daintree or Buruli ulcer - (don't Google this if you have just eaten or are about to eat) is a necrotic condition caused by infection by Mycobacterium ulcerans, a genus also associated with tuberculosis, and leprosy. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a BIG problem for medicine, and  M. ulcerans (the Flesh Nom Bug of the campaign) is a good example of a condition where antibiotics are of limited (or no) use. Maggots, which will graze on necrotic tissue but leave healthy tissue alone, have seen historical use as wound-cleaners, and the Bairnsdale ulcer appears to be a good potential candidate for this ancient therapy. The research isn't expensive; compared with the cost of producing a new drug, maggots aren't expensive (and are a wholly sustainable resource - think of the potential in undeveloped countries) - but inexpensive does not mean free. The Deakin team is seeking to raise funds for a trial of what is known technically as maggot debridgement therapy (MDT) through a Pozible crowd-funding campaign: http://www.pozible.com/project/22449 As one suffering from a long-term, and almost impossible to get rid of, medical condition of bacterial cause - including M. ulcerans' cousin, M.fermentans - I think that this is a most worthy cause, and am proud to be a supporter. If you would like to back this project, there are five days left to pledge (ends 22nd June, Eastern Australian time.) Help the Mighty Maggots defeat their nemesis, the Flesh Nom Bug! Mighty Maggots v Flesh Nom Bugs by Dr Mel Thomson and Michelle Harvey Asking for funds to test if Medical Maggots can do a better job to treat flesh eating bacteria 2 days ago - Via Google+ - View - Barry Wyatt Jr : What if we do it ourselves? From the meat counter straight home in a biohazard suit to place the meat... What if we do it ourselves? From the meat counter straight home in a biohazard suit to place the meat directly into boiling water, assuring absolutely no cross-contamination in the kitchen. Even if it’s fish—the one animal more contaminated than chicken—would we finally be out of the woods? Fact or fiction: You can’t get food poisoning from properly handled and cooked fish. Now it’s easy to get food poisoning eating raw seafood. About 85% of fish is contaminated with fecal bacteria thanks to “gut waste exposed during [fish] evisceration,” we can get cholera from raw oysters—in fact there was a newly emerging strain reported last year in the U.S. Or one can get tapeworms from sushi, and other delights and parasites such as brain worms or eye worms—I’ll spare you a photo. Or necrotizing infections reported this year from oysters, shellfish or other seafood, the so-called flesh-eating bacteria. Immediate limb amputations were performed, but still 37% of the victims died. But what if you cook out the crap? Fish don’t get mad cow disease—which is caused by a pathogen that can survive even incineration at temperatures hot enough to melt lead. So are we safe if it’s cooked? And this is only in terms of food poisoning—we’re not talking long-term effects of eating the mercury or PBCs. In terms of acute illness only, as long as you cook it is it safe? Or not necessarily? It turns out some of the most common causes of fishborne food poisoning are not destroyed by cooking. 50,000 people get poisoned every year from a neurotoxin in tropical fish, like red snapper, sea bass, grouper, who eat fish who eat toxic algae. Can cause all sorts of weird reactions, like a reversal of hot and cold sensations. And, after fish consumption, the toxin itself can be sexually transmitted and cause weeks of painful genital symptoms. So even if we don’t eat fish and our nonvegetarian lover assures us they properly handled and cooked their fish we may not be safe. Sexually Transmitted Fish Toxin | NutritionFacts.org There are neurotoxins in certain fish that can survive cooking and cause unusual symptoms. 3 days ago - Via Google+ - View - NovaBay Pharmaceuticals : Aimee Copeland, the University of West Georgia graduate student who lost her limbs last year to flesh...

Extraordinary advancement in human prosthetic The advancements in bionic prosthetic in the last few years have been absolutely extraordinary and mind-boggling.  Some of them approaching and in some cases surpassing science fiction depictions. Granted that the costs are still prohibitive (we are talking in the order of 120,000 us dollars for a forearm and hand or lower leg and foot), but I am sure that those costs are going to be tumbling down in the next decade as the technology becomes more and more available and adaption by prosthetic makers will become larger and less niche. http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2013/05/24/erin-intv-with-aimee-copeland-bionic-arms.cnn.html Aimee Copeland shows off her new hands - CNN.com Video Flesh eating bacteria victim, Aimee Copeland shows off her new bionic hands and says her 'life is full of blessings.' 24 days ago - Via Google+ - View -
