A youngster lost his senses due to carelessness of messiahs after he got bitten by a mad dog in Gujranwala.

Mohammad Saeed brought him back home and due to poverty, could not also get his treatment done privately. However administration of DHQ Gujranwala shifted Tauseef to hospital and again referred him to Lahore.

‘One million’ on anti-AIDS drugs in South Africa

DRIEFONTEIN: A million people are now receiving anti-AIDS drugs in South Africa, a country with the world’s heaviest HIV infections, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said on Wednesday.

“More than 200 000 new patients have been initiated on ARV’s since April this year, bringing a total number to one million,” Motlanthe told a public gathering to mark World AIDS Day in the eastern province of Mpumalanga.

Motlanthe said more public health institutions were now providing treatment, with more nurses trained to administer ARV (anti-retroviral) drugs.

“It is important to emphasize that even as we continue to make headway with our treatment programme, prevention remains the mainstay of our response to the dual epidemic of HIV and TB,” he said.

South Africa has 5.6 million people who are HIV-positive out of a 50-million population, according to UN

US starts human blindness trial using stem cells

WASHINGTON: Human embryonic stem cells will be tested as a treatment for blindness, a US company announced Monday in the second such clinical trial to examine how the controversial process works in people.

Just 12 adult patients will take part in the trial to see how the treatment using retinal cells derived from human embryonic stem cells affects patients with a common form of juvenile vision loss that can take hold in children as young as six.

The process has been tested on rats and mice and has been found to halt the progressive disease without causing tumors or other side effects, said chief scientific officer Bob Lanza at the biotech company Advanced Cell Technology.

“These cells have been really performing quite spectacularly in the animals. If we can see that in the human patients we will hit a home run here,” said Lanza.

UK: revolutionary breakthrough in blindness cure

Three blind patients have their sight partly restored after scientists developed an eye implant in a breakthrough that is being called a significant advance . Below are other examples of scientific breakthroughs in the race to cure blindness.
Stem cells grown on contact lenses could be a cure for a common cause of blindness, claim scientists. Australian researchers said that the world breakthrough could dramatically improve the sight of patients with damage to their cornea the clear outer shell of the eye caused by disease or injury. The research team removed tissue with regenerative stem cells from patients’ own eyes and then multiplied them in the laboratory on the surface of a contact lens. This was then placed back onto the damaged cornea for 10 days, during which the cells, which can turn into any other sort of cell, were able to recolonise and patch the damaged eye surface. Within weeks the patients saw dramatic improvements in their vision. If early findings bear out then the treatment could be affective for thousands of patients in Britain and is so cheap it could be used for millions more in the Third World.
