2014-03-01

REGINA, SK, March 01, 2014 (Press-News.org) Do you have heel pain? Is it weighing heavy on your normal routine? If not treated, foot issues can kick your butt (not literally). However, leaving it untreated can cause further damage or pain. At Regina Podiatry and Orthotic Clinic, Dr. R. Bagha utilizes two different modes of treatment to help patients kick heel pain to the curb. These two treatments are deep tissue laser therapy and orthotic insoles.

"Deep tissue laser therapy and orthotic insoles have proven to be most effective when paired together. Once heel pain is treated, we stress the importance of orthotic soles for continued comfort and improvement of foot health," explains Dr. Bagha.

What is deep tissue laser therapy do?
At Regina Podiatry and Orthotic Clinic, Dr. Bagha utilizes the Theralase deep tissue laser therapy technology. Theralase is a non-invasive application of laser light that targets an isolated area, such as the heel.

When the light hits the affected area, it reaches the deep tissue structures, stimulating the chromophores and cytochromes (located in the mitochondria). The chromophores and cytochromes absorb the laser's light and convert it to chemical energy. This energy is meant to accelerate the healing process. While it speeds up the healing process, it reduces the pain.

Dr. Bagha recommends orthotic soles alongside deep tissue laser therapy. The therapy is meant to treat the issue, and the orthotic soles will address the overall cause of heel pain. Dr. Bagha can offer the best orthotics and orthopedic shoes in Regina.

That extra "pep" in your step will feel great!

"Not all treatment plans are the same. Different foot cases call for different treatment options. That's why it is important to consult with a trained specialist. At my practice, we manage each foot problem with care," explains Dr. Bagha.

Improved screening means new targets for pediatric neuroblastoma therapies

2014-03-01

SAN ANTONIO – Neuroblastoma is one of the most common and lethal types of childhood cancers. In a paper published online today in OncoTarget, a researcher at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio unveils the important role of microRNAs in regulating neuroblastoma development, pointing to new therapeutic possibilities. Neuroblastomas, which account for 15 percent of childhood cancer deaths, happen when some cells do not differentiate and grow as they should. A promising type of therapy called differentiation therapy targets these malignant cells ...

It slices, it dices, and it protects the body from harm (Science)

2014-02-28

An essential weapon in the body's fight against infection has come into sharper view. Researchers at Princeton University have discovered the 3D structure of an enzyme that cuts to ribbons the genetic material of viruses and helps defend against bacteria. The discovery of the structure of this enzyme, a first-responder in the body's "innate immune system," could enable new strategies for fighting infectious agents and possibly prostate cancer and obesity. The work was published Feb. 27 in the journal Science. Until now, the research community has lacked a structural ...

Frequent childhood nightmares may indicate an increased risk of psychotic traits

2014-02-28

Children who suffer from frequent nightmares or bouts of night terrors may be at an increased risk of psychotic experiences in adolescence, according to new research from the University of Warwick. The study, published today in the journal SLEEP, shows that children reporting frequent nightmares before the age of 12 were three and a half times more likely to suffer from psychotic experiences in early adolescence. Similarly, experiencing night terrors doubled the risk of such problems, including hallucinations, interrupted thoughts or delusions. Younger children, between ...

Study links poor sleep quality to reduced brain gray matter in Gulf War vets

2014-02-28

DARIEN, IL – A new study of Gulf War veterans found an association between poor sleep quality and reduced gray matter volume in the brain's frontal lobe, which helps control important processes such as working memory and executive function. "Previous imaging studies have suggested that sleep disturbances may be associated with structural brain changes in certain regions of the frontal lobe," said lead author Linda Chao, associate adjunct professor in the Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. "The ...

Researchers identify brain differences linked to insomnia

2014-02-28

Johns Hopkins researchers report that people with chronic insomnia show more plasticity and activity than good sleepers in the part of the brain that controls movement. "Insomnia is not a nighttime disorder," says study leader Rachel E. Salas, M.D., an assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's a 24-hour brain condition, like a light switch that is always on. Our research adds information about differences in the brain associated with it." Salas and her team, reporting in the March issue of the journal Sleep, found that ...

UCLA study finds robotic-assisted prostate surgery offers better cancer control

2014-02-28

An observational study from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that prostate cancer patients who undergo robotic-assisted prostate surgery have fewer instances of cancer cells at the edge of their surgical specimen and less need for additional cancer treatments like hormone or radiation therapy than patients who have traditional "open" surgery. The study, published online Feb. 19 in the journal European Urology, was led by Dr. Jim Hu, UCLA's Henry E. Singleton Professor of Urology and director of robotic and minimally invasive surgery in the urology ...

Let there be tissue-penetrating light: Scientists develop new nanoscale method to fight cancer

2014-02-28

Researchers from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an innovative cancer-fighting technique in which custom-designed nanoparticles carry chemotherapy drugs directly to tumor cells and release their cargo when triggered by a two-photon laser in the infrared red wavelength. The research findings by UCLA's Jeffrey Zink, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Fuyu Tamanoi, a professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics, and their colleagues were published online Feb. 20 in the journal Small and will appear in a later print ...

Robert Avery, D.O., M.S.C.E., studies innovations to improve vision in children with tumors

2014-02-28

Robert Avery, DO, MSCE, of Children's National Health System and colleagues are establishing innovative approaches with technology and medication to improve the vision of young children who have visual pathway glioma, a type of brain tumor. Most optic pathway gliomas cause vision loss in children between one and eight years of age. As many as 20 percent of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 -- a genetic disorder that occurs in 1 in every 4,000 births – may develop these tumors. It is estimated that nearly half of those children may experience vision problems from ...
