One of the first experiments with stem cells preform on humans has been classified as a success. The research team was granted the permission to test 12 patients with dry macular degeneration and 12 with Stargardt’s macular dystrophy with stem cell transplant. All patience has been considered legally blind.

The report findings from the first two patience who under went the procedure were astonishing. Within weeks of the procedure patients claimed that colors were brighter, details were clearer and everyday task were easier. The patients first tested have said that is has been a life changing experience.

This seems like a classic feel good story in the health care world, but because of the controversy over stem cells, the good news is over shadowed by moral dilemma. Are we preventing one life to improve another? Are we in the position to handle this type of power? What do you think?

One would think that with the fizzled 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1), flu wouldn’t be much of a story. In reality, the pandemic expedited FDA clearance of molecular testing options in addition to clarifying the performance parameters of the most common viral detection tests that labs or near-patient testing sites were using, such as rapid antigen tests, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) and cell culture assays.

The CDC said the move is geared toward making the organ supply safer and preventing accidental transmission of infectious diseases. Some transplant experts, however, have expressed opposition to the proposal, saying it is too broad and could reduce the number of available organ donors, as well as the number of potential recipients ready to accept organs that are labeled as “risky” under the new guidelines.
