Avatar f tn Could gene therapy (as seen in Good Morning America) used to treat Lebers potentially be used to treat myopic degeneration of retina?
976897 tn?1379167602 The first Gene Therapy treatment in Europe has finally been given the go ahead. The Drug Glybera I believe uses a viral technique to replace faulty genes. I have to say I am disappointed in that they have picked a condition which only affects one in a million people. There are far more pressing diseases, but I suppose it's a good start anyway. The disease being treated is the inability to break down fats.
Avatar n tn I have been using baby oil but its seem to make my eczema flare up... Ive got some old ones from my previous pregnancy but I don't want it to get worse....
Avatar n tn I have the same thing. I doubt that it's eczema. The doctors just don't know. I know a few people with eczema and even though everyone is different, this isn't close. For one thing eczema always comes and goes. It always gets scaly dry and itchy. Itching is the worse part according to the thousands of people that talk about their condition. I haven't found one person that has a chronic red burning feeling.

Avatar n tn i have eczema in my leg how can i reduce itch? can i use a treatment that contains acyclovir USP?
Avatar n tn The eye is a perfect organ for something like gene therapy and I am amazed that this kind of work is not being pursued. The eye is a great model to test all kinds of treatment.
Avatar m tn Hello, Eczema is characterised by red, dry patches which are itchy. If the rash is non itchy then it can be pityriasis alba. Pityriasis alba is a common skin condition mostly occurring in children and usually seen as dry, fine-scaled, pale patches on the face. No treatment is required and the patches in time will settle in due course of time. The redness, scale and itch if present may be managed with simple emollients and sometimes hydrocortisone, a weak steroid, is also used.
Avatar f tn oh grace - i don't know any of these answers but i thank you so much for mentioning them...i have a list of questions im going to ask him. he has cream for the eczema, he SAYS it's eczema - i did not hear any of this straight from a doctor. I think what we're going to have to do is sit down with a doctor....
Avatar m tn The reasons for hepatitis C treatment failure remain unknown but may be related to different host responses to therapy. In this study, we compared hepatic gene expression in patients prior to and during peginterferon and ribavirin therapy. In the on-treatment group, patients received either ribavirin for 72 hours prior to peginterferon alpha-2a injection or peginterferon alpha-2a for 24 hours, prior to biopsy.
Avatar m tn s ddRNAi technology is a unique combination of gene silencing using RNA interference coupled with the long term therapeutic potential of gene therapy. BB-HB-331 is comprised of an AAV8 capsid and recombinant DNA engineered to express three short hairpin RNA (shRNA) that target and inhibit viral RNA expressed from three well conserved regions across multiple HBV genotypes.
Avatar m tn ddRNAi is gene therapy. It delivers to the nucleus of human cells, a gene that expressed one or more siRNA that can silence the translation of selected proteins expressed by the cccDNA of HBV. So this is similar to ARC520. However, ddRNAi actually introduces a gene into the liver cell infected by HBV.
Avatar f tn So, do you receive therapy for your anxiety disorder? I have a niece who has trichotillomania and that is hard. I'm sorry you deal with that. You know picking is never recommended. So, these bumps are doubtful to be Fordyce spots. That's anxious thinking. They are much more likely to be the common condition of keratosis pilaris. Lots of people have this hon. It's common if you've ever had eczema too. Keratin builds up and blocks hair follicles.
Avatar f tn I get anxious because of my eczema ( which i have also gone to extremes to treat) and then my eczema gets worse because i am anxious andit is a never ending cycle
Avatar m tn s Amaurosis have been treated with gene therapy. You would need to have him evaluated at a University Ophthalmology Research Center.
414018 tn?1268611672 I wonder if our vaccine and gene therapy up at OHSU (here in Oregon) has much information about it? I can have my husband ask about it tomorrow. Then again, they just carefully guard their results. What you probably want is how does it feel/work according to the patient's standpoint. That's tough to find. Hope they flush out the stents OK.
