Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION By: Larry Kusch 6/03/2012 8:27 AM | Comments: 0 MANITOBA is likely still months away from a decision on whether to proceed with clinical trials for a controversial multiple sclerosis treatment. The province and the Manitoba Health Research Council (MHRC) had hoped trials to assess liberation therapy, which involves opening up blocked neck veins, would begin early this year. Premier Greg Selinger announced $5 million in funding toward the research last April. The deadline for research proposals was Sept. 30. Christina Weise, executive director of the MHRC, which would oversee the trials, said her organization hopes to make an announcement by spring. "The review is ongoing and a final decision has not been made," she said in an interview. Weise said the review is being done by a committee of experts who will determine which proposal, if any, best meets the council's criteria. Those include expertise in designing and managing clinical trials, providing care for MS patients and leading a multi-disciplinary, multi-site research team. The task is onerous and there are ethical hurdles, Weise said. To test the procedure, researchers would do a double-blind study consisting of patients who are receiving the treatment and those … Continue reading →

Sentencing of Olympic cyclist Gary Neiwand for obscene exposure has been adjourned while he continues treatment. Neiwand, 45, exposed his genitals to two women in Melbourne last year. In December, he pleaded guilty in the Melbourne Magistrates Court to two counts of wilful and obscene exposure. Neiwand has been attending the Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health, known as Forensicare, for counselling and treatment before sentencing. On Monday, deputy chief magistrate Jelena Popovic said she had been told Neiwand was engaging in treatment in a "much more worthwhile fashion" and now had an understanding of what his victims had gone through. She said that in the past he had gone into "shutdown mode" during the sessions. Ms Popovic said Neiwand was now doing all the right things and the best option for the community was for his treatment to continue. She adjourned the case until September 5 while Neiwand's treatment is ongoing. Neiwand was driving in Elwood on January 24 when he pulled alongside a female cyclist who had stopped on the side of the road. He then wound down the front passenger window and asked the woman "can you finish this off" while holding his exposed genitals. See the … Continue reading →

Tom Blackwell Mar 4, 2012 10:41 PM ET | Last Updated: Mar 5, 2012 8:34 AM ET The prognosis for Jessie Kay was so grim after a mysterious seizure, her children just hoped doctors could buy the 66-year-old a little extra time. Cancer had taken root in Ms. Kays lungs, then spread to several locations in her brain, a radiologist at Torontos Princess Margaret Hospital concluded after analyzing an MRI scan. Oncologists at the prestigious cancer centre went to work, applying treatment called whole-brain radiation to the grandmother from Barrie, Ont. There was just one problem: When another specialist looked at an image of her brain soon after the treatment, he realized she actually had infectious abscesses, not cancerous tumours. The radiation had been for naught. It soon became apparent the woman had suffered profound brain damage, leaving her with the intelligence of a child, unable to care for herself. Last week, a judge gave the green light for her family to move ahead with a $6-million lawsuit against Princess Margaret and the doctors who treated her there in mid-2008. The unsettling allegations, yet to be proved in court, underline again the potentially dire consequences of errors by diagnostic specialists, … Continue reading →
