Whittle but too late for chemo
Hi, my partner had stage 3 pancreatic cancer in Feb 2017. He had a Whipple operation but recovery was very very slow, perhaps as he was 76 at the time. He was too frail and missed the window: opportunity for chemo. What is his likely prognosis now?

Today he can't run, and walks quite slowly with difficulties. 1) I have read in some researches that a successful

Gene Therapy Cures Different X-Linked Disease.
Fantastic. Researchers successfully treat babies with 'bubble boy' disease using gene therapy https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/3502388002 How the therapy works The gene therapy works like this: A deactivated virus is inserted into the patient’s bone marrow, which delivers the correct gene copy into blood

Concussion symptom?
Has anyone ever experienced a period of hypersexuality after a concussion or with post-concussion syndrome? Don't have to go into detail it just appears that the correlation for this symptom is recognised with more serious or debilatating head injuries. Yet I had a concussion and pcs and have had this

Shingles
Would be keen to hear from anyone with S.L.E. & Shingles. !st time I have had Shingles (S.L.E. 9yrs). A bit surprised at how painful it is & how low I feel. Left side under breast wraps around to spine. On Antivirals & Endep for pain (not making much of a difference) Dr said it may last 3 months. Yikes

100 kms to go... Alzheimer’s Challenge Update
Hello all you lovely runners out there on a yucky Saturday in London. 11/12s of the way through my Alzheimer’s Challenge to raise £2018, in 2018 by running 2018kms. How am I doing? - on the fund raising front not as good as I’d like but, thanks to many people on here, far, far better than I’d imagined

Gene therapy eases Parkinson’s symptoms by rewiring parts of the brain
In a trial published in 2011, researchers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York found that a gene therapy designed to turn down the activity of the subthalamic nucleus improved motor control for people with Parkinson’s. One year after treatment, the people in the gene therapy group
