Interesting. If this pans out, it'll be the first drug that's actually effective in reversing the effects of advanced MS, I think.

I hope this pans out, but this article doesn't give *nearly* enough information about the study, which is frustrating.

quote:
An Oxford University study found two weeks of injections of the anti-inflammatory drug improved the vision of the 11 patients.
11 out of how many? The article says that
quote:
More than 200 UK patients are being treated with Aimspro on a named patients basis whereby the doctors take responsibility for giving the drug.

Are the 11 from this group? If so, are there any controlled studies being done? There must be if the makers of the drug estimate that they're only a year from going to market with it, but the article doesn't even bring it up.

Wait a minute--Microsoft is using goat's blood and drugs to do what?!

Sheesh. And I thought this would be something cool having to do with Druids. It would make sense - entrails for divination, and blood for some old-fashioned folk medicine. [Smile]
