Bone marrow breakthrough eases the pain of transplants for children

Children who need bone marrow transplants could be spared the worst side-effects of chemotherapy thanks to a 'remarkable' breakthrough.



In conventional transplants, the patient's bone marrow is removed ahead of the operation by drugs which can cause nausea, hair loss and fertility problems.



But doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London have pioneered a technique to use antibodies to clear out the bone marrow instead.



The antibodies - proteins which neutralise foreign objects - destroy the marrow without affecting the rest of the body, meaning intensive chemotherapy is not required.



Thirteen seriously ill children with severely weakened immune systems have been treated using the technique so far.



The boys and girls were judged to ill for a conventional transplant but would have been unlikely to have survived into their teens without one.



They recovered twice as quickly as those given traditional transplants and have been cured of their underlying disease.



What is more, their lungs, liver and gut remained free of the damage seen with more intensive chemotherapy.Is THIS what we can expect from Obama-Care?
The Health Plan should allow for care for all and not just those who can afford it. A bit like the NHS here in the UK. I suspect that you can expect this sort of treatment as kids here will have access to it even if they are from a poor family (but may be subject to where they live).Is THIS what we can expect from Obama-Care?
No, because it would be ';risky';, ';unconventional';, ';expensive';, ';unproven';. In other words, ObamaCare will result in stagnation and lack of innovation because companies will have no financial incentive to invest in R%26amp;D (except they be granted an expensive government contract to do the research, and we know what boondoggles those are).



This is one reason the European Socialist Paradises have an advantage; USA does all the research spending. At least it will until the government takes over. This goes for new drugs and procedures and basic research.
Let's hope not. It would be a shame if all our medical discoveries were dependent on a charity raising enough money to fund them.
