Discovery May Revolutionize Therapy In Muscular Dystrophy And Other Skeletal Muscle Disorders
Researchers at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School are a step closer to treating, and perhaps preventing, muscle damage caused by disease and aging. In their study, published in the June issue of Journal of Biological Chemistry, the scientists have linked the newly discovered protein MG53 to a pathway that repairs human muscle tissue along with the proteins caveolin-3 (Cav3) and dysferlin. Prior to this study, the underlying interactions that inhibited membrane repair in muscle tissue were unknown. Linking these proteins creates a mechanism that allows damaged membranes to be repaired, which may transform treatment for patients who suffer from severe complications of diseases such as muscular dystrophy, as well as cardiovascular disorders and conditions related to advancing age.

Paramedic Struck Off For Drink Driving Whilst On Call

Paramedic, Mr Jonathan Knight has been struck off the HPC Register after he was convicted of driving with an alcohol concentration over twice the prescribed legal limit. A HPC Conduct and Competence Committee heard that the registrant was driving an unmarked emergency response vehicle and was on call at the time he was stopped by police. HPC Panel Chair, Mr John Williams commented: "The panel is of the view that the registrant"s conduct fell well below the standards expected of a health professional and was a very clear breach the HPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. "The panel takes a very serious view of the registrant"s conduct, given that the offence was committed while he was on call, and potentially could have put patients and members of the public at risk." The Panel decided to strike Mr Knight from the Register with immediate effect. Mr Knight was neither present nor represented at the hearing. Health Professions Council
