            <title>Stem Cells - How They Can Affect Your Life</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I did a short piece on adult stem cell research and how it helped with a windpipe transplant.  After some thought, it occurred to me that most people do not understand how stem cells work in the body and what part they can play in future medicine, especially for senior citizens and those with disabilities.  I thought I would do a little more in-depth writing.  It is going to take a couple of posts to get through it, but here goes.

Nestled along California's Central Coast, Santa Cruz is a city whose very existence is characterized by an Eco-friendly mentality.  Whether it's current efforts to add a desalinization plant to provide water, or the community's interest in green power sources, Santa Cruz is one of many communities across the United States that has inspired Eco-friendly behavior in its citizens.

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Rheumatoid arthritis is a slowly progressive disease that there is no cure for. The disease attacks your joints causing pain and swelling. Even though there is no cure at this time there are several medications that are offering increased effectiveness at fighting the progression of the disease process. Although none of them can reverse the effects, they do reduce the symptoms and force the disease to slow down.

In California there are over 1 million diesel semis' that belch tons of fine particulates into the air each day.  It's no wonder that several of the cities in California are rated as having the most polluted air.  Trucking companies wouldn't police them and fit their rigs with better air pollution controls, so the state had to step in.



The new laws call for all trucks that do business in California to be fitted or retro fitted with new pollution control systems: diesel particulate filters ... ]]> </description>

One of the most common diseases that affect the aging population of California is COPD. COPD( chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. &quot;Progressive&quot; means the disease gets worse over time. There is no cure; doctors try to treat the symptoms to relieve the patients' discomfort. COPD can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.

After donating a kidney to a loved one, you can expect to live a life that is as normal as anyone.  There are no limitations on your lifestyle, exercise, or life span. A recent study by the University of Minnesota found that donors had a normal life span and were as healthy as people who have two functioning kidneys.

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (www.nof.org) : &quot;Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.&quot;

Stem cell research, though limited in the United States, is going ahead at a feverish pace in many other countries.  Most European countries have government backed stem cell research programs.  It is not the intention of this site or author to get into a political discussion on the ethics of stem cell therapy, only to show that it works and can be very useful in easing human suffering and returning some adults to a near normal level of functioning.
