John Ronald says it sounds like an outrageous idea – putting cancer cells back into patients in order to treat their cancer – but early studies in mice are showing it works. By using re-engineered cancer cells, Ronald and his team at Schulich Medici …
While anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery is a widely proven procedure, a Western orthopaedic surgeon says re-injury rates in young patients after such procedures are unacceptably high for those returning to pivoting sports like basketball, volleyball and soccer.
While not as drastic as the Common Sense Revolution cuts of the early 1990s, this latest round of provincial cuts to postsecondary education is still akin to “death by 1,000 cuts,” Janice Deakin told university Senate members last week.
For the patient with laryngeal cancer – a cancer of the voice box – radiation therapy can be a lifeline. Alternately, it could be the thing that takes the patient’s voice, before the disease takes their life.
Football is a rough game that takes a visible toll on the body. Now, researchers say that toll could have a serious mental impact as well.
Imagine suffering from a mental illness and waiting up to a decade to get a proper diagnosis, all the while taking the wrong medications. This is an unfortunate reality for some patients suffering from bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), said Dr. Elizabeth Osuch, a researcher at Western’s Lawson Health Research Institute and a psychiatrist at the London Health Sciences Centre.
Eight Western graduate students have been named recipients of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, each receiving $50,000 annually for up to three years. Vanier scholars are selected based on leadership skills and high standard of scholarly achievement in the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, engineering and/or health sciences.
Paul Paolatto has seen the shift. Now, he wants Western and the City of London to take advantage of it.
“The bottom line is concussions suck.”
Western researchers have furthered their game-changing neuroimaging techniques in communicating with patients believed to be in a vegetative state by connecting with an individual that has proved otherwise unresponsive for the past 12 years.
A former postdoctoral fellow at Western is helping spearhead a new biomedical imaging program at Hebei University, China, thanks to a long-term relationship with Western researchers.
Western has teamed up with the Centre for Imaging Technology Commercialization (CIMTEC) and Claron Technology Inc. in developing hardware and original software modules in the treatment of liver cancer in developing countries.
Western alumnus and current postdoctoral fellow Todd Stevens, along with a research team at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), have proposed a method of detecting lung cancer tumors at an earlier stage of development.
