Most of us have learned the importance of the spinal cord in our body during our schooling. The spinal cord connects the brain to most of our body organs enabling them to perform their respective bodily functions. As an example, if a person needs to carry a pail of water, his brain will send impulses to the corresponding muscle through the nerves found in the spinal cord, then the responsible muscle will perform the job accordingly. Our spinal cord is also a delicate part of our body. Hence, a minor spinal cord injury (SCI) inflicted in this vital part of our body may result to severe and fatal damages. webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Tue, 25 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.thescizone.com/info/articles/390/1/Human-Cord-Blood-Stem-Cell-Bill.html On December 16th, 2005, the U.S. Senate passed the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, the human cord blood stem cells bill that the U.S. House of Representatives passed in May along with the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, H.R. 810.  The cord blood stem cells bill was then signed into law by the President on December 20th.  It formally establishes a databank that already existed in order to further help patients who need a cord blood stem cell transplant, and authorizes $79 million federal dollars to increase the number of cord blood units available for matches. webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Wed, 21 Dec 2005 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.thescizone.com/info/articles/140/1/You-And-Your-Doctor-Rights-and-Responsibilities/Page-1.html  As part of a growing health and cost conscious public, we now take more responsibility for our health. More concerned about what we eat, drink and how we exercise, we also bring a questioning approach to health care. We are now forging new relationships with our doctors and we are less likely to sit passively and accept unquestioningly our doctor's directions. We want second opinions, alternative treatments or medications. webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Thu, 18 Aug 2005 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.thescizone.com/info/articles/24/1/Legal-Forms--Issues/Page-1.html Spinal Cord Injury Legal Issues, Legal Issues, & A Few Law Firms, Printable Will Forms webmaster@thescizone.com (Super Admin) Mon, 25 Apr 2005 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.thescizone.com/info/articles/215/1/No-high-from-cannabis-pain-drugs/Page-1.html  Scientists believe they may have found a way for cannabis chemicals to relieve chronic pain - without the "high" linked with the drug.
