Compared to other vesicles, liposomes have unique advantages in encapsulating functional food substances. They can withstand environmental stress, ensure preservation of the encapsulated food substances, enhance their functionality and facilitate uptake. ...
The published results showed statistically significant and clinically relevant evidence of CAP-1002’s ability to improve both skeletal and cardiac muscle function in patients in the latter stages of the disease. We have active sites that are currently screening patients for our Phase 3, HOPE-3 clinical trial and expect to enroll our first patient this ...
Specifically, the study demonstrated that young men in the advanced stages of DMD experienced improvements in both skeletal and cardiac muscle function after receiving four doses of CAP-1002 over the course of one year. ...
Axogen employees are passionate about helping to restore peripheral nerve function and quality of life to patients with physical damage or transection to peripheral nerves by providing innovative, clinically proven, and economically effective repair solutions for surgeons and health care providers. ...

He was unable to work, sleep, or function in daily life. Pain medication provided little relief. Thankfully, Chris was referred to a surgeon who specializes in nerve repair. ...

It works by applying neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the genioglossus muscle – the major muscle that forms the tongue mass. NMES creates contractions of the tongue muscle, enhancing function and endurance so that after 6 weeks of therapy, the tongue stays in an ideal position for optimal airflow. ...
In patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody-positive MG, the body’s own immune system over-responds, leading the body to attack its own healthy cells and produce antibodies to fight against AchR, a receptor located on muscle cells at the neuromuscular junction. As a result, communication between the nerves and muscles is impaired, leading ...
This award further demonstrates the value of eXciteOSA as a proven, transformative treatment for patients with a design optimized for ease of use and high functionality.” The GOOD DESIGN award is presented by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. ...
Unlike devices used while patients sleep, eXciteOSA is the first device used while awake that is intended to improve tongue muscle function, targeting the root causes of these conditions. Used for only 20 minutes per day for a period of six weeks and then twice per week, the therapy is clinically proven to improve the quality of sleep by significantly reducing ...
” [1] Traditionally, upper limb function has been reconstructed using tendon transfer surgery, during which muscles that still work, but are designed for another function, are surgically re-sited to do the work of muscles that are paralysed. ...
“Scientific studies have linked triclosan to multiple health hazards,” including disrupting hormones that regulate brain and reproductive functions, says the complaint. “The public needs to see testing data, hidden by the FDA, in order to determine what product is safe for them to brush their teeth with,” said Wu. ...
Several studies suggest that triclosan also may contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, may exacerbate allergies, and may weaken muscle function. In April 2010, FDA acknowledged soaps containing triclosan offer no additional benefit over regular soap and water. ...
A recent study published by the Proceedings of National Academy of Science has found that exposure to the chemical triclosan is linked to muscle function impairments. Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent typically found in products such as soaps, deodorants, toothpaste, mouthwash, clothes, bedding, carpet, toys, and trash bags. ...
But in the presence of triclosan, the normal communication between two proteins that function as calcium channels was impaired, causing skeletal and cardiac muscle failure. The team also found that triclosan impairs heart and skeletal muscle contractility in living animals. Anesthetized mice had up to a 25-percent reduction in heart ...
